most new reviewsIn person their Dell S3225QC looks incredible in games, the cheapest 32-inch 4K 120Hz OLED and great value.
“I’ll start by saying in person this thing looks incredible.”
Switching from a U2715H, their Dell S3225QS has nice colour and better contrast but visible VA smearing, and the bundled HDMI cable flickered at 120Hz.
“Colours are nice and the contrast was better than the old monitor when I tested BG3 on 120Hz.”
Their $225 Dell S3425DW has great colour, crisp text, 120Hz and convenient USB-C power.
“Colors look great, text crisp, and 120Hz/Power through USB C is nice and convenient.”
Their Dell U2424HE looks yellower than their previous UltraSharp and colour temperature won't fix it.
“But this time the more yellower, maybe due to the Hardware-level low blue light.”
A few days with the Dell U2724DE: tidier cabling and easy desktop-laptop switching, though too few USB ports.
“I did, only had it for a few days but really like it. My cables are much tidier and swapping from desktop to laptop is easy.”
Measured their Dell U2724D: VA-like 2000:1 contrast, excellent colour, superb motion handling and only slight corner glow.
“Colors are excellent, blue is a bit off compared to the rest.”

“I got the Benq in the end. Really satisfied”

“Had the XG32UCDS for almost a month now, its amazing and for the price it can't be beat.”
Returned the Dell U3225QE: its 120Hz felt little faster due to slow response, and contrast gains weren't noticeable next to the RD280U.
“120hz is noticeable but because of the slow response times on the Dell it doesn’t feel that much faster.”
Enjoying the Dell U2725QE since launch day: IPS Black looks richer than normal IPS, with accurate colour.

Their Dell S3225QC's speakers are excellent at low volume settings.
“The sound from the 5 speakers is killer on this thing.”
Two years in, they find their ASUS PG27AQDM meh and hate its big bezel.

“The motion handling was a tad better and I had some wow moments using it as well”
YesterdaySat 24 Oct
After over two years and about 30 monitors, the AW3225QF is the best they've used, with superb colour volume, HDR and contrast; only a bigger size would tempt them.
“After all that, I can honestly say this is the best monitor I’ve ever used.”
Runs the AW3425DW beside an AW3225QF and enjoys both; they look close unless pixel peeping.
“have been enjoying these two together as they aren't too far off unless you pixel peep”
Their new AW3426DW is superb, silent, well calibrated and sharper than first-gen QD-OLED; the only drawback is no audio output.
“Dell has great color calibration. It’s also nice to have a silent monitor again.”
Their new AW3226Q looks overbright and washed out in every HDR mode; only Dolby Vision looks right.
“Any smart HDR mode looks overly bright and washed out in Windows and games”
Loved their AW3423DW for two years until it developed burn-in; a refurbished replacement's fan got noisy.
“while I absolutely loved the QD-OLED panel, over time it developed **image burn-in**”
Tried the AW3423DWF and disliked it; their ASUS IPS looked much better to them.
“Tried aw3423dwf - crap.”
Returned the MSI 341CQPX for loud standby coil whine from its power unit.
“in standby, horrible coil whine from its power unit was audible”
Their AW2725DF arrived perfect and has been amazing so far.
“My AW2725DF came perfect. Amazing experience so far.”
Has never noticed flicker on their Samsung G81SF.
“I've never noticed any sort of flicker on either of my OLED monitors”
Nearly sold their PG32UCDM over eye strain until lowering brightness to 30%.
“I had eye strain until I turned brightness down to 30%. Before that, I almost sold my PG32UCDM.”
Two months with the MSI 341CQR X36: no flicker or fan, good OLED care and software, better text than the 341CQPX; its presence sensor struggles in the dark.
“Been two months. Still no issue.”
Testing the AOC AG276QSG2 beside their LG OLED, Pulsar's motion clarity beats even 540Hz OLED, even in 60fps-capped games.
“the clarity beats out even 540hz oled”
Enjoying the AOC AG276QZD2 as a good OLED for the price, though its HDR isn't top tier.
“I’m enjoying mine so far, it’s a good Oled for the price.”
Their AW3926QW has some edge dimming that doesn't bother them.
“Mine has similar-looking edge dimming (although hard to say from a photo) and it doesn’t bother me at all.”
Upgraded from a Predator X34: the £299 AOC CU34G4Z's 240Hz VA is sublime with IPS-like colour and no visible ghosting; the stand wobbles.
“First impressions are this is (for the price) and excellent monitor.”
First impressions of the AOC Q27G3XMN: HDR in RDR2 looks fantastic and VRR doesn't flicker, but mini-LED needs setup and sRGB mode is broken.
“Proper HDR IS worth it.”
Their budget AOC Q27G4XN has the least VA smearing they've seen and fantastic contrast.
“this monitor has the lowest amount of black smearing/motion blur I've experienced on a VA monitor”
Moved from an AOC Q27G3XMN to the Gigabyte MO27Q28GR: much better in dark scenes, slight DSE, no grey banding.
“Tldr: Switched to Oled from mini LED and loving it.”
Loves the LG 52-inch 5K2K: much better than their old VA monitor, with blacker blacks and no noticeable bloom.
“I have this monitor too. I love it. Its so much better than my old VA Z35p the blacks are blacker and to me there is no noticeable bloom.”
The MPG 274URDFW E16M only matches the cheaper MAG's blacks at local dimming level 3, which turns greys brown, crushes blacks and shows visible zones following the mouse.
“Causes greys to become brown, the gamma curve becomes a bit weird, crushing of blacks, and just creates an unusable and unpleasant experience”
Bought the XG27AQDMGR themselves and describes it as amazing.
“I got the Asus XG27AQDMGR and the thing is amazing.”
Owns the XG32UCWMG personally and rates it as top tier.
“personally got XG32UCWMG and its top tier”
Tried the PG34WCDN after several 5K2K monitors; it came closest to what they wanted, but dropping from a 32-inch 4K to 34-inch 1440p cost too much sharpness and vertical space.
“I tried the PG34WCDN and this came the closest to being the one that fit what I wanted but dropping from a 32" 4K to a 34" 1440p was too much of a hit to both sharpness”
Loved the 27GX700A-B's picture despite gray uniformity and VRR issues, but it showed burn-in after only about 600 hours.
“I loved the picture, despite some issues with gray uniformity and VRR instability. However, I don't think burn-in is supposed to happen after only 600 hours”
Their first AW2725Q died; their second one is fine so far.
“My first AW2725Q just died (purchased in March of 2025 from Amazon).”
Returned their Gigabyte MO27Q28G for heavy vertical banding despite great HDR and design.
“i returned it due to terrible vertical banding. HDR was great and everything was also amazing”
Their ASUS XG27AQWMG beats the AW2725DF on HDR brightness, text and blacks, but has the same banding as the Gigabyte.
“Everything else is better - HDR brightness, text quality, no more raised blacks”
Over a month with the AW2726DL and pretty satisfied.
“Pretty satisfied with it, have been using it for over a month now”
Their AW2726DM blacked out every few minutes despite firmware, cables and timing changes, so they returned it.
“The problem kept occurring after every change I could possibly make, I returned mine”
Their Samsung G50SF replacement doesn't flicker like the AW2726DM, though they dislike its external power brick.
“I like it better insofar as it doesn't have the flickering”
Going from a VA ultrawide to the FO32U2, clarity is night and day and their aim improved, though fps dropped at 4K.
“Image clarity (both in motion and stills) is night and day.”
Their ASUS PG27AQDM had flicker, which their AW3225QF doesn't.
“I had the Asus asus pg27aqdm which had flicker.”
For programming and writing across Mac and PC, the BenQ RD280U's 3:2 format gives better vertical overview and very crisp text.
“I got a BenQ rd280u for this use case. The format is nicer for having a better vertical overview of text.”
A year of 100% coding on the Dell U4025QW with no regrets.
“Dell U4025QW was my choice year ago, no regrets.”
5,000+ hours of mostly productivity on their MSI 321URX with no burn-in, using floating windows.
“did the same on my MSI MPG 321URX for 5000+ hours with no burn in I can find.”
Almost a year with the LG 27GS95QE: gorgeous for games, but poor grey uniformity at low brightness in dark-theme coding made them switch to mini-LED.
“The main problem with OLED was gray uniformity especially in lower brightness.”
Their first OLED, the 500Hz Acer X27U F5, has noticeably fast response coming from a 540Hz TN; great so far.
“I'm coming from the 540 Hz TN Asus monitor and I've never ran OLED before and especially in games like fortnite I could really tell how fast the response is.”
Upgraded from a 25-inch 1080p monitor to the Acer X27U X1 on discount and now gets the OLED hype.
“Upgraded from a humble 25 inch 1080p monitor to an Acer Predator X27U X1.”
Chose the Acer X34 X5 over MSI: fine for WFH text, but HDR settings are locked and it can look dim.
“work from home two days a week and I have no issues with pixels or reading and that night light mode helps”
The Acer X49 X's QD-OLED looks gorgeous with semi-glossy pop and little visible fringing, though its build creaks and feels cheaper than a Samsung G9.
“Everytime i sit down and see the gloss POP, it makes it worth the purchase price.”
The Alienware AW2524HF caused burning eyes within minutes despite every setting, so they returned it.
“After 5–15 minutes I get burning, dryness and strong light sensitivity.”
The Alienware AW2525HM is a huge upgrade and has had no ghosting in two weeks; their aim has improved.
“It arrived two days ago and so far it’s been great!”
For high-level esports the 480Hz PG27AQDP is amazing; the bigger size made no difference.
“ended up getting the 27" pg27aqdp 480hz OLED. Its amazing”
Upgraded from an AW3225QF and likes it a lot: phenomenal glossy coating with no black raise, better HDR and useful dual mode for Overwatch, but it has grey banding.
“I just upgraded from an AW3225QF to the XG32UQWMS and I like the Asus a lot. TrueBlack glossy coating is phenomenal”
They absolutely love it: looks sharper at 4K than 1440p with a few settings lowered, and they see no text fringing.
“I recently got the Gigabyte MO32U24 because everyone was recommending it and I absolutely love it.”
Their first OLED arrived with lines on grey backgrounds that stayed after several pixel-cleaning runs.
“I’ve noticed some lines on grey and dark grey backgrounds. Is this normal for OLED screens?”
Bought the LG 45GX950A-B and finds it disappointing after a few days; their PG32UCDM looks much better.
“I got the 45GX950A-B a few days ago and I have to say that it's pretty disappointing. My PG32UCDM looks way better.”
Their XG27ACDNG has no grey banding and looks beautiful in games.
“I have a QD-OLED and dont have this issue. (ASUS XG27ACDNG).”
Their PG27UCDM has completely uniform greys.
“Im using the pg27ucdm and have complete uniform greys.”
Left the LG 34GS95QE-B: black bars, pixelated 1440p, too short and an overly aggressive 800R curve.
“1440p is noticably pixellated; time for an upgrade.”
Three weeks with the LG 39GX950B: the matte finish hurts dark-room gaming and HDR presets track poorly, over- or undersaturated.
“Matte finish - Yes, it ruins the monitor in a dark room while gaming.”
First day with the Neo G9 57-inch G95NC for work: very high resolution needs scaling, the DP cable is short and styrofoam bits were stuck on the screen.
“I mainly bought it for work and occasional gaming.”
The XG27AQNGV's ULMB 2 at 120Hz is flicker-free and clearer than their 360Hz OLED after a firmware fix for ghosting; OLED still wins on picture.
“This monitor is insanely impressive, but initial impressions were rough.”
Coming from a PG279QM IPS, the PG27AQWP-W is night and day: feels like 4K, no perceptible input lag, great HDR and PS5 4K120 support.
“its night and day...at least for me its first time using an OLED panel and probably the best 1440p panel at the moment.”
Super happy with the LG 32GS95UE: immersive 32 inches, great 240Hz motion, and the matte coating handles reflections with similar image quality.
“The whole coating debate is completely overblown IMO.”
First tests of the LG 27GR95QE-B against professional OLEDs: brightness fine in a light-controlled room.
“In initial use in a light-controlled room the brightness is fine for both SDR and HDR.”
Their first OLED, the PG32UCDM3, has impressive contrast; only the price and a bulky stand disappoint.
“The only thing I don't like about this monitor is the price. Oh and the stand it came with is horrible.”
Upgrading from an LG 27GL850, the MSI 272URX's text clarity surprised them; no fringing worries at 4K 27-inch.
“going 4k 27 inches definitely surprised me.”
No text clarity issues on their MSI 322URX.
“Replaced one of them with a 322URX (same panel as your 321UPX). Interestingly, I'm not facing the text clarity issue that you're facing.”
The Dell U2725QE is incredible for writing all day without eye strain, but its local dimming is poor and gaming response is mediocre.
“As a productivity monitor, though, it's incredible.”
10+ hours a day of office work on the XG27UCDMG without text fringing; they won't go back to IPS.
“I’m using XG27UCDMG for office work like 10hrs+ a day and I’m glad I’m not seeing text fringing like you do.”
Returned the BenQ EX321UX as a disappointment; mini-LED firmware and dimming felt inferior.
“I had tried a mini LED before (the benq mobiuz ex321ux) and it was a disappointment and was returned”
Uses the XG27AQDMG with a PS5 Pro for its C-series-like blacks; close but not quite C2 quality.
“My monitor comes extremely close but it’s still not *quite* as good as my old C2.”
After one month their FO32U2P has hundreds of visible scratches on dark scenes.
“My only 1month Gigabyte Aorus FO32U2P has hundreds of scratches”
For mixed work and gaming, the LG 32GX870A-B is so good they won't go back.
“Doubt I'll ever go back to plain OLED from my LG 32GX870A-B”
A dead pixel appeared on their ASUS PA279CRV after two months, and ASUS refused warranty under five dead pixels.
“a dead pixel popped up last week.”
Returned the ASUS PA27JCV because its nano-texture-style coating was distracting.
“I got one for €660 (but returned it, because to me the coating was distracting).”
Their XG32UCDS was oversaturated toward reds out of the box until they calibrated it.
“On the xg32ucds I calibrated to my liking and toned it down.”
Sold the 27-inch Samsung G80SH after a week: the purple tint was fine, but the grainy matte coating made bright colours hazy and rainbow-like.
“But the matte coating was the dealbreaker for me.”
Nearly 7,000 hours at full brightness on their Gigabyte FO27Q3 with no burn-in.
“I've used my monitor for nearly 7000 hours, bought it last year and I have no burn-in so far”
The matte G60SF has no daytime reflection issues and its blacks beat their IPS.
“With my Samsung G60SF I have *no* issues during daytime and it gets an upgrade in blacks in the night.”
Three months with the Samsung G95SD and no issues; the smart OS is useful for streaming and can be skipped.
“I'm on month 3 with the G95SD”
Two months with the MSI 341CQP X28 under strict burn-in precautions; owning it feels like serving the monitor.
“I have MSI 341CQP QD OLED X28, nearly 2 months old now”
Their Gigabyte FO27Q2 developed burn-in lines in under six months despite daily pixel cleaning; colours are amazing.
“Mine already has burn-in after not even six months, Gigabyte Aorus FO27Q2.”
Loves the MSI 322UR X24's colour and black levels.
“I just got a msi 322ur x24 and love it.”
Really happy with the LG 27GX790A-B.
“I have the 27GX790A-B and I'm really happy with it.”
Uses the LG 40WP95C-W for work 90% of the time: a very good IPS with a gentle curve and enough brightness.
“It’s a very good monitor with a minimum radius of 2500 and an IPS matrix.”
Owning both, the Apple Studio Display XDR beats their PG32UCDM in most scenes, with minimal blooming and stunning brightness, though it costs 2.5x as much and won't work with a PS5.
“I must say. I am really impressed with the Studio display XDR. It really blows out the QD-OLED in over 90% of scenes.”
Got the Dell 32-inch 4K 120Hz QD-OLED at Costco and was happy; a price match brought it to $175.
“The Costco dell monitor 4k 120hz 32 inch QD OLED.. got it for 350 initially and was happy”
Owns the BenQ PD2730S 5K and loves it as a MacBook monitor.
“I have a PD2730S and feel the same way.”
After returning a tandem OLED for banding, their MSI 271QR X50 shows no banding in Discord, Notion or VS Code.
“THIS is acceptable and i see nothing in discord, notion or VSCODE”
Their first PG34WCDM had horrible banding and was returned; the second died three times before being replaced.
“I've had two PG34WCDM monitors. The first had horrible banding which I returned and the second died three times”
Sees VRR flicker occasionally on their MSI 271QPX E2, mainly in menus or games with unstable frame rates.
“I have a MSI MAG 271QPX E2 and notice it occasionally, mostly with games that don’t have a stable frame rate or in menus.”
Their Samsung G85SD showed VRR flicker; capping frame rates and avoiding frame generation eliminated it.
“Mine is a Samsung G85SD 175Hz QD-OLED panel. Never cared about VRR flicker before I got an OLED”
Kept the Gigabyte FO27Q5P after testing it; 500Hz feels super smooth.
“But 500hz on gigabyte feels super smooth.”
Half a year with the MSI 491CQP: pretty great, but at 1440p they need DLSS Quality for a sharp image on a 5080.
“I have this beautiful msi 491cqp oled I got about half a year ago and it has been pretty great.”
Saw pixels die in real time on an MSI 274QRF-QD E2 straight out of the box.
“I was seeing pixels die in real time on a 274QRF-QD E2”
After a Gigabyte VA they constantly tweaked, the MO34WQC2 OLED just looks good as is.
“I had a VA panel gigabyte before I bought my MO34WQC2”
Compared the LG 27GX790B with an IPS Mini-LED: better but not infinitely so, and surprisingly bright, enough that they run it at 90.
“Im more surprised at how bright the 4th gen tandem oleds can get.”
Uses the ASUS PG248QP 540Hz and expects to keep it a long time, with no burn-in to worry about.
“I use the pg248qp ETN gsync 1-540hz, and I think I will keep it very long time”
Returned an AW3425DW for the AW3225QF, which clearly wins on picture quality, though not on immersion.
“the aw3225qf hands down wins in PQ but not immersion”
Content with their AW3425DW and would only upgrade at the right price.
“I'm quite content with my AW3425DW atm.”
Upgrading from a launch AW3423DW, the AW3426DW is a vast visual improvement with brighter colour and deeper blacks.
“The colors are brighter, the blacks are deeper, and the screen looks glossier which looks incredible.”
Upgraded away from the AW3423DW mainly because its fan is loud.
“don't forget the AW3423DW fan is LOUD, that was my #1 reason for upgrading to AW3426DW”
Never noticed text fringing on their AW3423DWF units; text looks fine.
“I've never been able to even notice it on my 3423DW, the 3423DWF replacement I got, or my wife's 3423DWF.”
Their MSI 341CQPX still has text fringing, but for gaming it's the best.
“I have a similar monitor, the MSI 341CQPX. I even think it has the same panel. It still has text fringing but just for gaming it’s the best you can get.”
Owns the AW2725DF and sees no magenta tint once it's on, even in a fairly bright room; darkness isn't required.
“There is zero magenta tint on my display once it's turned on, even in a relatively bright room.”
Coming from a 4K Nano IPS, the new G81SF looks phenomenal in games.
“I got my g81SF last saturday and playing yotei, looks phenomenal. came from 4K nano ips”
The PG32UCDM shows a purple hue in a sunlit office and scratches easily.
“I hate the purple hue when I have sun light in my office, and the panel is prone to scratches really easy.”
Owns the MSI 341CQR X36: the AI dimming feature is poor, but everything else is great, with text clarity noticeably better than their 3rd-gen QD-OLED.
“The AI dimming is pretty shit. Everything else is honestly great”
The AOC AG276QSG2's Pulsar motion clarity is great, but it forgets its brightness after every power cycle, so they're returning it.
“Overall, it's been great! But one pesky software bug has me ordering the Asus”
A year with the AOC AG276QZD2: HDR is lacking but SDR is excellent, a strong pick at about $400.
“Ive had it for a little over a year now. As you said, HDR is pretty lacking, but SDR content is excellent.”
Their August-2026 AW3926QW arrived looking good with no apparent uniformity issues.
“mine got delivered today, aug 2026 manufacure date. looks good no apparent uniformity issues”
Their new AOC CU34G4Z looks greyer than their old IPS and they're struggling with colour and contrast.
“Everything feels a bit more grey than my previous monitor which was an IPS monitor.”
A week with the AOC Q27G3XMN: unusable HDR for SDR, VRR flicker, dimmed text and blacks no better than their old IPS.
“This has been nothing but a hassle.”
Loves their Gigabyte MO27Q28GR; a firmware update unlocks the best HDR mode.
“I love this monitor, got it when it was on sale like 2 weeks ago on amazon too.”
Upgraded from a 49-inch Samsung to the LG 52-inch and loves it.
“I have the LG 52”, and thats huge enough. Love the upgrade from my previous 49” samsung.”
Owns the MSI MPG E16M on firmware 26 and is very happy with it, running local dimming off in SDR and using dual mode for competitive games.
“I have MSI MPG E16M with FW26”
Just bought the XG27AQDMGR (the newer glossy WOLED revision of the XG27AQDMG) and calls it the flagship 1440p 240 Hz monitor to buy now, praising its deep blacks and bright whites.
“I just got this one for myself, and it’s without a doubt the flagship monitor to buy at this time.”
Tried newer QD-OLEDs but went back to their XG32UCWMG, which they consider the king for deep blacks.
“I have tried the newer QD-OLED panels and found myself going back to my XG32UCWMG.”
Upgraded from an AW3423DW to the PG34WCDN and found the difference small: everything looks a little crisper thanks to the RGB-stripe layout and HDR is a bit brighter, but not a big improvement.
“Went from AW3423DW to a PG34WCDN. Wasn't a huge difference tbh.”
A great display for games after a 144Hz IPS, with bright tandem-OLED highlights at 1440p high refresh.
“I have it, it’s a great display for playing games. Upgraded from 144hz IPS.”
Loves their AW2725Q with amazing HDR in TrueBlack mode; the early issues were fixed by firmware.
“Love my AW2725Q. It’s worth keeping if it doesn’t have too many hours of usage or damage.”
No banding on their MO27Q28G at 240Hz, even on greyscale tests.
“I don't see any even during the greyscale tests on my MO27Q28G set to 240 Hz”
Loves the XG27AQWMG's glossy coating and HDR pop.
“The glossy coating adds so much to this as well… love it.”
Their AW2726DM had the flicker defect; their MSI is brighter, and they'd keep the Alienware for dark rooms.
“This is the flickering issue I had on theAlienware aw2726dm.”
Their Samsung G50SF is a bit dim in a bright room, and gaming caused eye strain, so they went back to mini-LED.
“My G50SF QD-OLED is 200 nits, it’s a bit dim when my room is BRIGHT”
Despite babying it with an expensive cloth and distilled water, their FO32U2 got a noticeable scratch about a month in.
“I purchased an FO32U2 Gigabyte QD-Oled last year when they first came out.”
Almost three years on the PG27AQDM with zero burn-in; early firmware was bad until several updates.
“Had mine for almost 3 years now, zero burn in issues, only problem I had was early on the firmware for the PG27AQDM was horrible”
The Dell U4025QW has been a productivity godsend.
“I am super happy with my u4025qw, it has been a productivity godsend.”
The MSI 321URX has superb picture, a sturdy stand, no fan and a good sRGB mode, but picture modes don't switch between SDR and HDR.
“Picture quality is second-to-none”
7,200 hours on their LG 27GS95QE-B since August 2024, mostly work, with no visible burn-in.
“LG27GS95QEB 7200 hours and LG34GS95QEB 7900 hours”
Their first OLED, the Acer X27U F5, is awesome and worth $700 despite Acer's mediocre reputation.
“have had it a few days now and it's actually pretty darn awesome.”
The Acer X27U X1 bought for $499 has sharp colour, better with Acer's profile; turning off Pixel Centering fixed uneven bezels.
“It’s quite good, color is sharp and got even better after I got the color profile off of Acers website.”
Loves the Acer X34 X5, but it doesn't look as crisp or bright as other OLEDs and HDR 1000 is too bright.
“I love the monitor but the image just doesn’t look as crisp and bright as other OLED monitors I’ve seen.”
No noticeable IPS glow on their AW2525HM, better than their 2019 Alienware.
“I don’t notice it, better than my Alienware 240hz from 2019.”
Next to their old IPS, the PG27AQDP makes the IPS look shockingly bad.
“plugged back my IPS and was shocked at how bad it looks next to my oled.”
Calls it the best for the price and beautiful, with no grey banding on their panel.
“XG32UQWMS is the best for this price”
Owns one and finds it so good, with no regrets and zero flaws.
“MO32U24 is so good. I have one. No regrets, zero flaws.”
On the same model the pixel cleaner sometimes leaves lines that take up to six manual runs to clear, which they blame on firmware.
“I have the same model, sometimes the image cleaner leaves mine exactly like yours, then i run it manually again and it gets a lot better”
Used the LG 45GX950A for a year; after a newer monitor failed and they put the LG back, they appreciated it even more, finding the immersion of its 800R curve unbeatable.
“I had the 45gx950a for a year and then picked up the aw39 when it release.”
Two XG27ACDNG units had their semi-glossy coating ruined by cleaning; they'll go matte next.
“thats my 2nd unit being RUINED”
They wish their PG27UCDM were much brighter, but it beats the WOLED panel lottery.
“i have a pg27ucdm and I would prefer it to be at least 50% brighter.”
Grey stripes on their new LG 34GS95QE-B vanished after image clearing.
“I had the same issue with my new LG 34GS95QE BUT after I did "image clearing" from monitor settings it just went away.”
Returned the LG 39GX950B: mild vertical banding, useless AI features, and a matte screen when they prefer glossy.
“Had some mild vertical banding (which i guess is normal), the AI features are useless to me, and the matte screen was ok, but still prefer glossy.”
The Neo G9 57-inch was overwhelming at first, but with window management tools they fell in love for work and gaming.
“Gaming and working at 7680x2160 @ 240Hz is simply unparalleled.”
Returning their XG27AQNGV after a stuck pixel and black-screen problems.
“Just got a stuck pixel on my XG27AQNGV and I can't get it to unstick.”
Switched from a 4K 27-inch to the PG27AQWP-W for higher frame rates and doesn't regret it.
“So I got the PG27AQWP-W and don't regret it.”
Returned the LG 32GS95UE-B: the matte finish felt wrong after an LG C2.
“The matte finish, the overall quality compared to the OLED TV felt very weird to me.”
About 4,300 hours on the LG 27GR95QE-B beside an LG 4K IPS: incredible for gaming contrast and motion, zero burn-in, but they still prefer the IPS for day-to-day text.
“after \~4,000 hours on the OLED, I’ve seen **zero burn-in**.”
The PG32UCDM3 greatly improves bright HDR gaming with no ABL flicker, but desktop text looks softer than their WOLED.
“I can't get past the text quality during desktop use.”
Pixels are invisible on their MSI 272URX at normal distance.
“you cannot see pixels on the MSI MPG 272URX unless you are close enough to touch the screen with your nose.”
Went back from the MSI 322URX to an OLED TV for much higher brightness and HDR.
“I had the Msi 322urx and went back to OLED TVs.”
Testing it with a MacBook for programming, the Dell U2725QE has very good colour and 120Hz, but 4K means non-native macOS scaling.
“The higher refresh rate is a huge plus for day-to-day responsiveness.”
The XG27UCDMG's 4K crispness made them return a 1440p model immediately; gorgeous.
“I have the XG27UCDMG, the crispness made me return my XG27AQDPG immediately. 4k on 27in is gorgeous”
The BenQ EX321UX is great for work and gaming, with a KVM to switch machines.
“it is a great monitor that even has KVM functions so i can switch between my work machine and personal PC.”
After returning a QD-OLED for purple tint, they're happy with the XG27AQDMG despite buggy firmware.
“Since brought a xg27aqdmg and is happy with it although it’s firmware is somewhat buggy.”
The FO32U2P's stand is minimal and elegant.

Their Samsung G60SF's coating is very grainy.
“I have the g60sf and it is very grainy unfortunately”
Their first ultrawide and OLED, the 49-inch G95SD, they're loving so far.
“It’s the 49” G95SD. Really loving it so far”
Finds the MSI MAG 341CQP X28 34-inch ultrawide a great monitor.
“I use the MSI MAG 341CQP QD-OLED X28 34" Ultrawide. Great monitor, 280hz refresh.”
Moving from a 1080p TN to the MSI 322UR X24 has been life changing.
“now I have the 322UR X24 and it's absolutely life changing.”
Their LG 27GX790A-B has perfect text clarity, better than their 27GP850-B IPS; very happy, running it at 80 brightness.
“Well i on my 27GX790A-B dont have Flicker text clarity is perfect mutch better then on my ips 27GP850b”
The Dell S3225QC is used 8–12 hours a day for remote work and gaming with no burn-in.
“I bought a $450 Dell S3225QC (32” 4k qd oled) for my wife’s remote work job and after work gaming. It’s used 8-12 hours a day.”
Returned a Gigabyte tandem OLED for grey banding and couldn't be happier with the MSI 271QR X50.
“i returned mine and got a 271 qr x50, couldn't be happier”
Returned their PG34WCDM after ten months through Amazon and got a refund within five working days.
“I returned my ROG PG34WCDM after 10months, purchased through Amazon”
Got headaches using the 1440p MSI 271QPX E2; a 4K OLED is fine for office work.
“With the 4k I could easily do office work but I had headaches using the MSI 271QPX E2.”
Their matte Samsung G85SD has no reflections at all, unlike their old IPS and VA panels.
“G85SD surprisingly has no reflections at all”
Cleans the Gigabyte FO27Q5P with a damp then dry microfibre cloth, leaving no streaks.
“Worked like a charm for me on my Gigabyte AORUS FO27Q5P.”
Moved from a 32-inch Samsung 4K to the MSI 491CQP after weeks of research for the width.
“I have that same 491CQP OLED.”
Returned the MSI 274QRF-QD E2 four times before getting one without stuck pixels.
“I returned my MSI MAG 274QRF-QD E2 four times until I got one without stuck pixels.”
Very happy with their Gigabyte MO34WQC2 and no eye strain; full-screen brightness could be higher.
“I have a Gigabyte MO34WQC2 qd oled and I have to say I'm very happy with it.”
Their Dell U5226KW's colours and blacks are incredibly impressive for IPS.
“the colours and blacks are incredibly impressive for IPS.”
Their new AW3225QF is brighter than their AW3423DWF by default, light to lift, and shows no text fringing to them.
“Text fringing? What is that? It’s nonexistent to me.”
Their AW3425DW came as a warranty swap for an AW3423DW; it has burn-in after nine months.
“After burn in 9 months after, still fells the old base was nicer than this model”
Their AW3426DW is a good upgrade over the AW3423DW for HDR and refresh rate.
“It's a good upgrade in terms of HDR performance, pixel shift is every 24 hours, and the boost in refresh rate is great”
Their pre-launch AW3423DW is still running great with no real issues.
“I got my AW3423DW 2 weeks before the NA launch via Dells premier program. Still running great.”
No text fringing visible on their AW3423DWF, even sitting close.
“I don't see any text fringing on my AW3423DWF either, and I sit fairly close”
Their MSI 341CQPX showed a Path of Exile HUD burn-in after under 50 hours despite careful use.
“Looks like we have a burn in after 11 days of using it”
Moved from an LG IPS to the AW2725DF for 360Hz, but the constant dimming, dull colour and pixel refresh every few hours annoy them enough to consider returning it.
“The constant dimming image, compared to my previous monitor, simply pisses me off so bad”
Returned the G81SF the same day because its grainy, oily matte coating distracted on light areas.
“I returned it the same day I got it with its extremely oily coating.”
No regrets on the PG32UCDM, but pixel-cleaning prompts every 8 hours are annoying.
“it does get annoying how often it prompts you to do a pixel cleaning cycle, every 8 hours is ridiculous”
Loves the MSI MPG 341CQR X36 34-inch ultrawide: RGB-stripe subpixels mean no text fringing, it's immersive, and causes no eyestrain.
“It's 5th gen so it has rgb stripe, so no text fringing. i love it so much”
Their AOC AG276QZD2 is very glossy but that didn't bother them; colours are good after fixing a slight red tint.
“Colors were good, I found it had a bit of a red tinge out of the box, but that can be fixed with calibration.”
After a firmware update their AW3926QW's colour volume nearly matches their PG32UCDM3, with a little more brightness.
“i am very happy with the monitor so far”
Can't calibrate their AOC CU34G4Z; colours look washed out and off.
“They all look washed out, and the color reproduction seems to be very off.”
Hated the AOC Q27G3XMN's blacks and OSD and sent it back.
“I had it and hated it. Blacks were shit, OSD button menu was atrocious.”
Their glossy Gigabyte MO27Q28GR has almost no gray banding.
“I currently have the gigabyte glossy tandem woled and the gray banding on my unit is almost none.”
Moved from the Neo G9 57-inch to the LG 52G930B; happy so far, with fine colour and HDR highlights and far more height for gaming and work.
“I'm pretty happy with the 52" so far.”
Bought the MSI MPG E16M and it works great after switching the oversaturated default colour profile to Adobe RGB; the companion app doesn't work on Mac.
“I got the MSI MPGE16M and it works great.”
Was happy with the XG27AQDMGR but a high-pitched coil whine in standby forced them to return it.
“I noticed a very high frequency sound (my research said it might be coil whine) **only** when in standby.”
Kept the ASUS 32UCWMG for PS5 Pro after returning two others, but finds depth and colour well below their OLED TVs: a $1,000 disappointment.
“It's... fine? But the sense of depth and the colors just aren't there compared to my TVS.”
Bought the ASUS PG34WCDN and highly recommends it, though it is pricier than other 34-inch 5th-gen QD-OLEDs.
“I grabbed the Asus pg34wcdn. Bit pricey for some but I can highly recommend it for those that are able.”
Has loved it for about a year on a 5080 and 9800X3D.
“I’ve had this monitor for about a year now and I love it. I have a 5080 and 9800x3d .”
Their AW2725Q's screen went blank although the PC still detects it.
“my AW2725Q premium OLED monitor has a blank screen”
Compared with their IPS, the MO27Q28G's colours are only a bit richer but its blacks are perfect and the image more solid.
“on woled, black is just… perfect. zero glow, zero haze.”
Their first unit had banding almost everywhere and went back; the second is much better, with banding only at very low grey levels and some dirty screen effect.
“I got the second XG27AQWMG today (April 2026 batch) and it's so much better. It's still visible in very low grey percentages”
Their AW2726DM is amazing, with no brightness problems unless in a fully lit room.
“i have the AW2726DM and it’s amazing”
Their first OLED, the Samsung G50SF 27-inch, has been fantastic.
“Ordered myself my first OLED last week, Samsung 27” Odyssey OLED G5 (G50SF). It's been fantastic.”
Their Gigabyte FO32U2 developed a dead pixel after about 150 hours.
“I turned it on and I spotted a black dot on it which seems very dissapointing after only about 150 hours”
15,000 hours at 85–100% brightness on their PG27AQDM: only two small burn-in spots visible on solid colours.
“I have the first 27'' OLED monitor ever released (PG27AQDM) with 15,000 hours on time, 85-100% brightness”
Two weeks with the Dell U4025QW on macOS and it's amazing.
“I bought it 2weeks now, and it’s amazing”
Side by side with an LG C1, their new MSI 321URX looked hardly different in HDR.
“Very hard to tell the difference for now, I expected much more from the intense colours on the QD-OLED panel.”
Kept the LG 27GS95QE-B over the ASUS and bought more for the whole family; no retention or burn-in even with paused games left on.
“On the other hand, the LG has had absolutely no issues at all.”
The glossy Acer X27U F5 is vivid and bright, beats a Gigabyte tandem WOLED for brightness, and its KVM and USB-C keep a MacBook charged.
“Picture quality is awesome very vivid and bright.”
Their Acer X27U X1 has great motion clarity for competitive gaming, but HDR and brightness are lacking.
“Motion clarity is great, but HDR and brightness are lacking.”
Their new Acer X34 X5 looks fantastic but occasionally blanks for 2–3 seconds.
“I just got this monitor and it looks fantastic. However ever so often my screen goes black for 2-3seconds then comes back.”
The AW2525HM is great out of the box with beautiful 1080p image and insane refresh rate.
“great monitor out of the box just got mine beautiful image quality especially for 1080p and the refresh rate is insane”
After two defective MSI QD-OLEDs, the PG27AQDP has had no complaints over 1,000+ hours.
“Went with Asus pg27aqdp and no complaints after 1k + hours so far.”
Their XG32UQWMS is very good and their panel has no gray banding.
“I have that monitor (XG32UQWMS) it is very good and my panel has no gray banding”
Super happy with the Gigabyte MO32U24 after 8 months on the MO27Q28G: the new QD-OLED fixed everything they disliked, at half the price of ASUS's version.
“I just bought it a few days ago and I'm super happy with it!”
A couple of days in they noticed banding in Google dark mode and are considering a QD-OLED instead.
“Just picked up this LG 27GX704A-B monitor a couple days ago and noticed some banding yesterday while using Google dark mode.”
Bought the LG 45GX950A and finds its text blurry compared with their Samsung Odyssey G9 QD-OLED.
“I bought this LG 5k2k, but the text looks blurry compared to my Odyssey G9 (G93SC).”
Didn't keep the XG27ACDNG because its text fringing on dark backgrounds was too distracting.
“on the QD Oled it looked like someone splattered RGB vomit on the outline of the letters”
Gaming on the PG27UCDM is mind-blowing, but coding text causes severe eye strain, so they're switching to IPS.
“Gaming is mind-blowing, but text clarity during coding and browsing is causing severe eye strain.”
Coming from 1080p VA, the LG 34GS95QE-B is a huge upgrade and fringing doesn't bother them.
“fringing doesn’t bother me.”
Returned the LG 39GX950B over VRR flicker when 5K2K frame rates dropped, even on an RTX 5090.
“I ended up returning the LG 39GX950B and getting an ASUS PG32UCDM3 instead.”
Four months on the Neo G9 57-inch, mostly for work, beats three 27-inch screens; Teams notifications are easy to miss.
“I have 3 27's in the office and the single 57" is so much better, particularly using Fancy Zones.”
Their open-box ASUS XG27AQNGV overheats and shuts down constantly even at minimum brightness, and Newegg denied the return.
“It is having an issue with overheating and is unusable. It is constantly shutting down even under light usage.”
Their PG27AQWP-W almost never shows banding outside grey-scale tests, and games look unreal.
“I almost never notice the banding unless I actively go and search for it through a grey scale test”
Gave up on the LG 32GS95UE-B; it looked too soft for 4K.
“I tried my hardest using the LG 32GS95UE-B.. Just couldn't do it.”
Next to their LG 27GR95QE-B, a decent Dell IPS looks atrocious.
“Even my SD2721DGF that’s certainly pretty decent for an IPS, looks atrocious compared side-by-side to my LG27GR95QE-B”
Considering returning their PG32UCDM3, mainly because of text clarity.
“I can still return my PG32UCDM3. My biggest issue with oled was text clarity...”
Lightly scratched their MSI 272URX; not visible when on, but annoying.
“Can confirm I have I scratched my MSI MPG 272URX lightly, I can't see it when it's on, so it's fine... but annoying.”
Their 2025 MSI 322URX has no burn-in.
“None of my OLEDs have any burnin. 2021 LG C1, 2022 Alienware AW3423DW, 2025 MSI MPG322URX.”
Thinking of returning their Dell U2725QE over coil whine in standby, a wobbly design and a hard-to-reach joystick, though they like its connectivity.
“return the dell ultrasharp u2725qe because of annoying coil whine in standby, unstable design and the hard to reach joystick on the back.”
Raised blacks on their XG27UCDMG are a non-issue in daylight or with lights on.
“I've since got one myself (XG27UCDMG), and it's a complete non-issue in my room.”
Uses the BenQ EX321UX Mini-LED for everything in any lighting, with OLEDs for dark-room gaming.
“my miniled IPS (BenQ EX321UX) for everything, everytime in all light conditions.”
Their new XG27AQDMG arrived with a dead pixel and is going back.
