Hi, what are your thoughts on the 'scenery mode' in some games? It's a bit disappointing that many of these game visuals are unique, yet we can't fully replicate them in user mode
From what I read on Rtings (the monitor testers) the dude who replied to me said yes. Because it’s literally a brand new fast W-OLED panel. So if you have one already, a monitor that’s an IPS. By nature of the hardware. There will be less input lag. My monitor vs this one is like 7.6ms slower in input lag.
I have loved Asus since forever unfortunately the price is certainly high for me but I will have to save money for this monitor I am in love with it and I prefer 2K resolution at the moment and I am definitely oriented towards OLED or QD OLED matrix so far I was wondering between MSI, Samsung Odyssey 6 or LG but Asus has been in my heart for a long time and more of my components at the conference are Asus and after seeing this review I have already chosen my new monitor, Thanks for the great review ☑️
i wouldnt buy QD OLED. i just returned me qd oled aliewnare because it was unberable to look at compared to the asus oled. the brightness and text is so bad on qd oled
That’s a different panel for sure. This one is W-OLED from what I read those ones are slower head to head. Not a bad choice just something to know if you’re comparing the two.
Yeah that’s what i thought…. untill i got it the alienware QD oled was genuinely so bad , not sure if mine was defective or what but it didn’t even look like an OLED compared to the asus WOLED 240hz, like seriously it was unusable . didn’t even look like 1440p and the colours were so bad , no idea how people rate it so high . asus wooed is GENUINELY worth the extra lol
@@Snxgur this is what I saw people saying on other videos and pages I ran into. Like OLED is fast in the gaming world by default compared to an IPS panel. Now a WOLED is even faster than it. That’s why I think I’ll see myself pick up this Asus PG27AQDP instead of anything else for the time being (I’m on a PS5) so when I build my PC I have it ready to go.
the GS is an older generation panel with worse subpixel layout. For gaming it's probably still great but text clarity suffers. This new 480hz panel (the asus and sony) are using LG's latest panel which is better on every metric and has better text clarity.
Compared to an IPS display what would you say brightness in SDR is like on this monitor I’m talking about 100% brightness to 100% that’s my main concern
Even though it’s an extra 60Hz, the response time of OLED is superior so it might be better for competitive gaming. I can’t say for sure though since I haven’t tested 540 TN and I’m also not gaming at those insane high FPS.
@@setitfree78 480hz OLED is better than 540hz TN for every single use case, including CSGO. OLED has the lowest input lag and motion blur, best colours and picture quality and contrast
prob yes because of descompression, if you put the games on windowed full screeen that wouldnt happen, but for games like cs2 it ll prob increse input lag
For my own personal preference and because I have the space; I prefer 4K 32” whether that’s QD-OLED or W-OLED. I have a powerful GPU to be able to enjoy 4K gaming with high fidelity settings and the larger screen helps with my productivity and creative work (assuming 1 screen)
