I've got my 5090 secured so it's time to move away from my Dell 1440P ASA
I have made the tough decision not to get an OLED though. At this point in my life I will be working on the screen for around 45-50 hours a week, and probably only gaming 7 hours a week at best.
SAMSUNG Odyssey Neo G8 4K Ultra HD 32 seems like a pretty decent non OLED monitor, has anyone got any thoughts on this or can suggest anything better?
In fairness I don't really want a curved screen, and 27" might have been better but oh well.
It likely will end up being completely pointless but I bought into the DP 2.1 noise that people are making and wanted to make sure I had that to go with the 5090.
Supposedly it has lesser chance of burn in also, and for monitors that you somehow have to try to be negligent towards to have burnins it's probably gonna last a good damn while
I guess it depends also on if you keep pushing the pixel refresh reminder away all day. As always i bet it often comes at the most inapropriate timining
I'm in the market for a new monitor either 27 or 31.5 inch. 1140p or 2160p for 400 to 600. Primarily for gaming of course but also for daily normal use. I was thinking about the oled Interactive mentioned above but I'm absolutely terrified of burn in. My PC is on all day basically and often just sitting at desktop so the burn in scares me.
Any suggestions for a good IPS at this price range or maybe reasurances on my fears of the OLED?
Have used nearly 3 years Samsung G8 OLED in heavy desktop usage, playing also games that have worst UI elements ever for OLED (D4, WoW etc..), no sign of burn in, panel is still perfect. Used C2 also long, did not get any burn in, my old C1 TV also does not have burn in.
Been looking for a new monitor coz my Benq 24" 120hz 1080p TN is showing worse brush marks on the panel and i'm tired of seeing them
I've been looking on those black friday deals from Youtubers but either they're out of reach, the brand is suspicious quality (KTC, TITAN ARMY, etc) or it has specs that doesn't matches my needs
Had my eyes for a MSI 4K/1080p dual setup for a long time but then i forgot 1080p would look horrible and 4K asks for a powerful PC to run stuff on it, with no 1440p middle ground option to choose... And also it has something new to my dictionary: "Vignetting" (Dark areas on the borders.. Total no. Give me a total coverage)
I've looked for a few budget monitors like my Benq but having:
-Fast IPS
-Minimal overshoot/strobing etc (the "white trail" behind the UFO tests)
-144-240hz
-24" and 27"
-1080p and 1440p respectively from the above
NO VAs coz of smearing and NO OLEDs coz of burn in ("OH BUT NEW PANELS LASTS LONGER!"...Yeah!... UNTIL STUFF HAPPENS!!!)
Uses: Everything Adobe, CLIP STUDIO PAINT, Paint Tool SAI 2, browsing, Youtube and series, then general overall gaming (Fast paced story FPSs, RTS, platforms, action, etc...No plans for MOBA/FORTNITE nor anything around those online areas) and, optionally, dark games (ALAN WAKE 2, etc) along the use of 60hz just in case a GOG game pops up and wanna play it (Overshoot/etc sense)
I've seen the following monitors:
ASUS VG249QML5A (240hz, 24")
ASUS VG27AQL5A (200/210hz, 27")
ASUS VG27AQLM5A (300hz, 27")
A reviewer said that the 24" model has a REAL below 80% DCI-P3 (Been told it's for better colour precision) from ASUS's 88% and also said that it's only good for gaming, no productivity and also only has 240hz.
However the same guy, replying to one of my comments, has a vid of the 1st 27" model (with 200/210hz) with the monitor 95% REAL DCI-P3 (bad marketing on the 24"?) and it should be overall better, but totally didn't replied to some doubts i had (Total height when the height adjustment is at the top, along a wall of text). It even shown a black screen with a darkened out room showing that there's like no backlight bleeding and just a TINY IPS glow that shouldn't be that noticeable in real usage.
However nobody has reviews etc of the last 27" model with 300hz, not even the REAL DCI-P3 (Even tho ASUS' site shows 95%, some people finds it being lower or not..Who knows)
But i've seen the tests on the 200/210hz model and with ELMB and (or without ELMB) a Level 3-4 Overdrive it makes it so there's no overshoot (the "white halo/trail" the UFO test leaves behind, something that i kinda have with my TN monitor). Instead the UFO's insides gets blurred out instead but nothing much that would , maybe, hurt the overall gaming experience?
You can see the 1st 27" 200/210hz model here for ref. The link directs to the overshoot thing (it has english AI? audio)
So i'm not sure if the 300hz model will have a "native" 240hz mode and keep the great DCI-P3 , the minimal overshoot and all that jazz above because... Almost nobody's interested to review these monitors, only LG/MSI/GIGABYTE OLEDs
Sure, there's "Monitors unboxed" but some of it's monitors like the latest LCD GIGABYTE (QD 1440p with NO MINI LED even!) models aren't being sold in Spain yet, not even Amazon, without a marked date for us
Wanted to know if those ASUS monitors would be worth it or what would ya guys recommend within those requirements of mine?
ASUS X570 TUF GAMING PLUS, 32GB DDR4@2666 ,RYZEN 5800X3D (NO OC),GIGABYTE RTX 4070 Super GAMING OC, Western Digital Blue 4TB 5400RPM + SAMSUNG 860 EVO 500+1TB GB SSDs , OEM SATA DVD 22xNoctua NH-D15 Chromax Black, BenQ XL2420T Case: Be Quiet! DARK BASE PRO 901. PSU CORSAIR RM1200 SHIFT
So, now that I've upgraded my rig, I'm finally ready specs wise to make the jump from 1080p to 1440p. My question is, how much "babying" do modern OLED displays require? I've never used them (cheap phones, and up to this point VA monitors) - but I keep reading about stuff like having to manually trigger "pixel cleaning" on the units to combat burn in every 4 hours and shit - which sounds ridiculous, and, quite frankly, like the technology is not fit for purpose.
My typical usage scenarios are some days, 4 hours gaming, 12 hours desktop usage and vice versa, some days 12 hours gaming and 4 hours desktop usage.
Is OLED a good choice for my use case (I have my eyes set on the Gigabyte MO27Q28G, assuming it ever becomes available for purchase here - )
Or should I stick with an IPS panel and not have to worry about actually USING the display that I paid for? Something like the Samsung 32" G50D - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZPLQZ8P/
Currently I'm on an old, 27" 1080p Samsung curved VA panel, but I'd like to make the jump both in size and resolution (no 4k, I'll never be rich enough to game at those resolutions). My current monitor has to "warm up" for 5 minutes to display properly - courtesy of shitty Samsung QA, and I'm tired of it
Thoughts and recommendations appreciated. (1440p, 27 or preferably 32 inch, no TN panels)
I'm thinking of getting a new monitor sometime in the latter half of the year...
Since I got a QD-OLED TV I'm never going back and will only get an OLED now. I don't believe there is much babying left nowadays. More issues with VRR Flicker and near-black details it seems.
Likely going for 31.5'' size wise, so 4k it is.
From what I've read the new Tandem WOLED appear to be superior to 4th Gen QD-OLEDs in some important areas, they also catch up with color gamut and have much improved peak brightness now. There's only one monitor in this size with this panel announced so far, that's the LG 32GX870A-B. I suspect more will follow soon - hopefully one with a glossy coating. Not in a hurry.
I don't think the 32GX870A-B uses that 5th gen you are talking about. As far as I know, it was just recently announced in CES 2026, and is only available so far in 27" 4K panels, and used in ASUS PG27UCWM and similar. That panel comes with an RGB pixel layout, which is very important for text clarity when sitting close. I am waiting for that RGB stripe to come to 32" 4K too, but I think I prefer QD OLED myself, since uniformity is much better from what I read.
Looks like some ultrawides are also getting an RGB pixel layout, but not interested in those.
Also the Gigabyte MO27Q28G that Immunity mentioned should have that panel. (appears to have excellent price/performance ratio indeed)
As you can see they have strong peak brightness, high sdr brightness and the color space is also much improved. Not sure about uniformity though.
Don't know if we even get a 5th gen Tandem OLED monitor in 2026. If so, then in Q4 and likely only 27'' size.
The ultrawides with 5th gen QD-OLED have RGB layout and better black levels in bright rooms but appear to be still behind Tandem OLED in terms of brightness.
So after reading a bit more these would be the gaming OLEDs I'd get in 2026:
27'' 1440p - Tandem WOLED Gen4 e.g. Gigabyte MO27Q28G or ASUS PG27AQWP-W
27" 4k - Wait for V-Stripe QD-OLED or RGB-Stripe Tandem WOLED e.g. ASUS PG27UCWM
32'' 4k - Wait for Tandem WOLED Gen4 2.0 e.g. LG 32GX870B or the upcoming Gigabyte/ASUS versions
34'' Ultrawide - 5th Gen V-Stripe QD-OLED e.g. ASUS PG34WCDN
What I'd like is all the improvements from this panel brought into a 32" 4K package There is some speculation that since pixel density on the 27" and 32" panels is much higher, the peak brightness is more limited to 1000nits. I don't understand how Samsung is able to provide much brighter OLED panels for Apple's iPads, at higher DPIs, at a very thin package, but for consumer monitors, often with dedicated cooling, they are "unable" to. iPads use tandem OLEDs able to reach 1000 nits full screen (!!!) and 1600 nits at some smaller window size. OK, tandem vs QD, but as far as I see, consumer tandem OLED monitors are far from reaching 1000 nits full screen, let alone 1600 nits at 5-10% window; as far as I see, they are "TB HDR500", which means they can sustain 300 nits full screen. Just tbh.
