Moved from a 1080p TN panel to the AW3225QF with an RTX 5070 Ti and calls the first time using 4K 240 Hz OLED an almost religious experience.
“I recently got the AW3225QF together with a 5070ti and it was an almost religious experience trying this out for the first time. I moved from a 1080p TN panel to this.”
A long-time OLED user whose main monitor is now the PG32UCDM3; finds 4K a night-and-day step up from 1440p and the monitor breathtaking.
“I am currently using a PG32UCDM3 as my main monitor and it’s breathtaking”
Uses the MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED for professional photography and gaming and says it has been perfect for both.
“My msi mpg 321urx is unbelievable. I do professional photography work and gaming and it's been perfect for me.”
A first-time OLED owner upgrading from a 10-year-old IPS says the Alienware AW3226Q has not blown them away: HDR makes Windows look washed out, colours don't pop without it, and the settings are overwhelming.
“I don’t want to say I am having buyer's remorse, I am sure there's a sweet spot to get this running better, but I am upgrading from a 10 year old IPS monitor and just expecting more.”
A buyer returned the ASUS XG27AQDMG shortly after purchase because of grey banding, which they say is a common problem on this model and the forum fixes did not help.
“No it is not fine and is exactly why I returned this monitor shortly after buying it. It is a common problem on this model.”
After replacing a scratched QD-OLED, an owner says the matte coating on their LG 32GS95UE has proven durable and much easier to clean.
“The matte coating on my LG 32GS95UE has proven to be pretty durable, and is so much easier to clean.”
Their AW3225QF's OSD joystick has misbehaved since day one; Dell blamed a controller fault, and after three years they took the monitor apart to inspect the joystick and ribbon cable themselves.
“I have a AW3225QF and had the same problem since day one.”
An LG 32GS95UE owner reports no issues with their unit, says everything is clear and crisp, and uses the 480Hz mode a lot with very good results.
“I got no issues on my unit everythings clear and crispy. I also use the 480hz mode alot and its very good.”
Bought the AW2725Q alongside an ASUS XG32UQWMS and found the ASUS blew it out of the water on brightness, black levels and features.
“I also bought the alienware 27" AW2725Q qd-oled and the XG32UQWMS blew it out of the water.”
After 17 trouble-free months, their XG27AQDMG developed a persistent artifact that survived resets, cables and driver updates, likely needing an RMA.
“Had this monitor for about 17 months now, no issues at all. turned the monitor on the other day and this is appearing?”
Finds their XG27UCDMG unbelievable and amazing, their favourite of their two OLEDs.
“I have an XG27UCDMG that is unbelievable. It’s amazing.”
Moved from a 35" ultrawide to the LG 32GX870A-B: a keeper, crisp 4K with great color depth and contrast out of the box.
“Overall, it's a keeper and I'm quite pleased with it.”
Compared a Gigabyte WOLED to their PG32UCDM and says it's not even close; the PG32UCDM is far better.
“I bought the gigabyte WOLED M027 something and compared to my Asus PG32UCDM it’s not even close. QD OLED is way better imo.”
Uses the MSI MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 at 500Hz for CS2 and finds it beautiful and great for their game.
“Is 500Hz too much for CS2? Probably! Does it maximize my endorphins and make me better in my head? Absolutely! Also, it just looks beautiful.”
The XG27ACDNG had amazing colors but some flicker at 360Hz and dim whites; after trying a tandem WOLED that looked flat, they bought the ASUS back.
“Started with the ASUS XG27ACDNG (360Hz QD-OLED) from Micro Center. Colors were amazing, but I had some flicker at 360Hz, and bright white stuff looked kinda dim next to my IPS.”
Their new AW3226Q was dead on arrival (power LED blinking SOS); Dell arranged an exchange via email support.
“TLDR: if the power button blinks red, spells sos in Morse code (...---...) it has hardware problem.”
Uses the PG32UCDM3 next to a PG27AQWP-W and is wowed by its clarity, uniformity and picture quality every time.
“Every time I switch back to the PG32UCDM3 for single-player titles I’m wowed by the picture clarity, uniformity, and quality of the PG32UCDM3.”
Nearly 3 years on the AW3225QF with zero burn-in; an amazing monitor.
“AW3225QF - going for the 3 year now, 0 burn-in, amazing monitor.”
After 3775 hours in a year of daily text and web use, the FO32U2P works great with outstanding clarity, but its non-VESA-compliant back nearly damaged it on an arm, and stripes appeared until it pixel-cleaned.
“Apart above two, working great, clarity is outstanding, even now when I have open window at right hand”
Calls the MSI 321URX the best QD-OLED they've tried: great text clarity, good brightness, and a KVM switch and USB-C charging they use constantly.
“MSI 321URX. Hands down the best QD-OLED monitor I've tried. 4k 32 inch 240 hz.”
Using the Q27G3XMN with a PS5, they can't get HDR at 1440p (it forces 2160p and looks grey), so apart from its brightness it feels like wasted money.
“The only good think i got out of this monitor is the brightness. So it feels like I've poured money down the drain.”
Bought the 27GR95QE-B at launch and used it heavily daily for about 4 years of work and gaming with no burn-in.
“I used the HELL out of it. College work, work "work", and gaming were things I did on it daily for god knows how many hours. There is not a single sign of burn-in to this day.”
Had both: the PG27UCDM had less ABL dimming and slightly better colors with a semi-gloss coating, but they returned it because its text fringing caused eye strain.
“I returned the UCDM because I am sensitive to text fringing and couldn't use the monitor without eye strain.”
Their AW2725DF (1440p 360Hz, RTX 5070 Ti over DP 2.1) randomly blacks out and power-cycles in a loop while gaming, even after NVIDIA's hotfix driver.
“Occasionally, while gaming, my monitor suddenly goes black and starts turning on and off repeatedly in a continuous loop.”
