@inceptionsdالعام الماضي Awesome content. Keep it up! Also, regarding the refresh rate issue, nVidia has been known for having issues with overclocked resolutions and refresh rates, id="hidden5" class="buttons"> so maybe this particular monitor uses an OC-ed factory profile in order to achieve 240hz. ....وسعت 17

@tamegaming1768العام الماضي I just got mine today, and coming from the AW34 (Not a fan of ultrawide) it's a great competitor. I was worried about worse colors on the LG with it id="hidden6" class="buttons"> being matte/non QD-oled but colors are plenty vibrant. Fringing's basically a non issue for me. Big fan, just wish the price was lower. ....وسعت 22

@VinodBaligaالعام الماضي Great review as usual, thank you! Only one gripe so far with this monitor - non inclusion of burn-in the warranty! I can live with text fringing as I don't id="hidden8" class="buttons"> intend to use this for productivity or content creation. But the warranty is a bit of a bummer for me. Have to wait what Asus and Acer can do with their monitors based on the same panel. ....وسعت 4

@ArashRazaviالعام الماضي I have an AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT and didn't run into the issue of having to delete the TV resolutions. I also read a lot of other reviews of people id="hidden11" class="buttons"> saying their desktop automatically went to 4k resolution but I didn't have that issue. The only thing I have noticed is that when I first launch a game it defaults to 4k resolution and I have to just change it in game to 2k. After changing it once it's a non issue. The desktop resolution has always been 2k for me though. Thanks for your review. ....وسعت 6

@miwe3346العام الماضي I have a RX 6950 XT and I also had the 4K problem.
But for me was as easy to asolve as tab out of the game and tab back in.
I did this id="hidden12" class="buttons"> once for every game this occured (it was not every game) and since then I did not have that problem again.
I also can pick 4k resolution in the game and still have the monitor run at 240hz.

@MikaelKKarlssonالعام الماضي I didn't expect the manufacturers to even go for non-4K models so there's that, but I really don't expect that they'll really care enough id="hidden15" class="buttons"> about the subpixel drawbacks in this segment. Perhaps if OLED for computer screens becomes a volume item in a few years, but the main obstable there is the high manufacturing cost. ....وسعت 2

@1nZaneRالعام الماضي just got my 27GR95QE-B.AEU today, connected it via DP 1.4 to my RTX 3090 in Windows 10, native 2560x1440@240hz, gsync, latest Nvidia Game Ready drivers, id="hidden22" class="buttons"> SDR. The ABL is extremely annoying. The screen goes dim and bright all the time when you open or switch between windows of different brightness levels, by far not covering full screen, in the 2 games I tested so far it is extremely dim. No matter what setting I try this is unacceptable. I will send it back if there is no solution. I am thankful for any advice in this matter. ....وسعت

@Keivzالعام الماضي Great review. I’ve had this for less than a week and here are some of my thoughts:
1. The matte screen doesn’t bother me one bit. I have a CX to compare it to.
2. I have an nvidia card and I haven’t encountered the 120 hz bug, but I don’t play Valorant. I did have an issue where vrr refused to engage in FH 5 when I set the game to 4K (downsampling looks great on this thing) but setting the actual monitor resolution to 4K fixed that.
3. Haven’t noticed any flickering myself with vrr. The nvidia control panel says the monitor is not g sync compatiable when using hdmi oddly and I feel like g sync works better with DP but that may be placebo.
4. You can lose the remote. There is software you can download for windows to control the monitor with and it works nice and provides you with more options than the remote does (mostly).
5. I wonder what the input lag is like with DAS off (it goes off in vivid mode—vivid is a tad too cool but gets brighter than the other modes).
6. Dts X is a really nice perk. I think it sounds amazing and deserves a mention. ....وسعت 13

@frostail5623العام الماضي As impressed as I am with OLED and QD-OLED technologies I refuse to buy an OLED until they solve the burn in issue. I don't want to constantly be worried id="hidden39" class="buttons"> about and be looking for signs of burn in when I am using my monitor or TV. I recently got a Neo-QLED TV instead of an OLED one just because of that and I am much happier with this decision especially when there is so little difference these days in the picture quality. ....وسعت 5

@Spinelli__العام الماضي Well implemented Backlight strobing such as on the Omen X25, Dell S2716DG, Asus PG278Q, PG278QR, PG278V / PG278VQ at just 120 fps/Hz absolutely, totally id="hidden40" class="buttons"> blows away the motion clarity of even extremely fast OLED monitors at 240 fps/Hz. OLEDs unfortunately still use terrible sample-and-hold tech to refresh the image which adds tons of blur. It's also the reason why, in a non-strobing test, a Samsung Odyssey G7 (VA) @ 240 fps / Hz absolutely blows away the motion clarity of a super fast TN panel @ 120, 144, or even 165 Hz even though the TN has just as fast, if not faster, pixel response times. The ultra-fast TN panels are an absolute smear-fest compared to the Samsung VA because of the sample-and-hold technology being the weakest link due to the lower refresh rate regardless of the pixel response times.
Sample and hold tech is why OLED, with a mere fraction of the pixel response times as even the fastest LCD panel's pixels, still doesn't have anything even close to the motion clarity of a CRT or of even a 120 Hz strobed monitor. Now if you compare sample-and-hold tech to sample-and-hold tech, of course an OLED @ 240 Hz will easily have better motion clarity than even the fastest LCD @ 240 Hz and probably even 360 and possibly 480 Hz. In fact, I believe OLED's superiority in motion clarity (at equal refresh rates) over LCD will increase as refresh rate increases because the higher refresh rates will mean that the sample-and-hold tech being the weakest link will contribute less and less to the motion clarity and therefore will get in the way less of the OLED's incredibly low pixel response times to really shine and "do their thing". The pixel response times of fast OLED gaming monitors is being severely held back and not being utilized to anywhere near it's fullest due to the combination of sample-and-hold tech and 240 Hz.
We either need OLEDs with black frame insertion (and without adding much input lag) @ at least 120 Hz, if not 240 Hz, and well implemented (some strobing monitors don't have it implemented well and therefore don't improve much on the motion clarity compared to non-strobing mode, the Samsung non-Neo Odyssey G7 is a good example), OR, non-BFI OLED @ 480 Hz. I bet a very fast pixel respone time OLED monitor without BFI but @ 480 Hz can get fairly close to strobing / BFI / CRT.
I had a Dell S2716DG (144 Hz, fast TN), Asus PG278V / VQ (165 Hz, even faster TN, it's basically a curved & brighter PG278QR), and a Samsung Odyssey G7 (240 Hz, VA, about the fastest VA around) all at the same time, and the motion clarity of the Samsung absolutely destroyed the other 2 despite the ultra-fast TNs having either equal or faster pixel response times. ....وسعت

@NeetLurkerالعام الماضي The overshoot is disappointing for me as I was looking for a monitor for a variety of games, not just high fps competitive games. I hope the ASUS won't suffer from this issue.
@

@Totto70770العام الماضي Sadly OLED is not there just yet, hopefully in a couple of generations time all the annoyances and downsides will be gone. Too many concessions to be made id="hidden42" class="buttons"> currently, just to enjoy the HDR. Price is still too high for what it is, 1K for a 27in 1440p monitor is too high. Brightness is too low, the fringing is a deal-breaker for me. Burn-in is still real, despite all the precautions and mitigations. You still have to baby it to avoid image retention or burn-in, not worth the hassle IMO. The firmware quirks are annoying. A remote, on a desktop monitor, really?!? ....وسعت 11

@nickolakiالعام الماضي It's a great monitor but these companies need to chill. 27inch OLED the same price as their 55inch TV? It just doesn't add up.

@juanblanco7898العام الماضي Yeah. The needless price inflation for an already very expensive product thanks to an impractically and redundantly high refresh rate is certainly not id="hidden43" class="buttons"> what I've been waiting for.

@user-kb6pr3sp4xالعام الماضي no Pros for matte-film cover, when you had a deal with glossy anti-reflective coating.

You cannot put coating on matte finish thus matte always has greater index of reflection. Matte also add shity-crystal effect. ....وسعت
