    It's good that you mentioned some LCDs as well. A lot of people use the same monitor for gaming and work, and having your taskbar / browser side panel / etc., burned into an OLED screen after 3 years isn't great (and "burn-in compensation" just burns the _rest_ of the screen to match the worst areas). I have a couple of (admittedly high-end) LCDs that are still nearly perfect after 10 years of almost daily use.

    You were instrumental in helping me select my monitor a month ago, and though it is not one you reviewed, it was a better choice over my other consideration, Dell Alienware AW3225QF.
    I chose the Samsung Odyssey G80SD as I love the inbuilt streaming, Bluetooth 5.3 peripheral and audio, USB Audio, integrated Philips Hue Sync TV App, advanced anti-glare coating (looks unreal, can't believe it's this good!), and remote control capabilities.

    I bought a 32 inch 4k / 144hz / HDR / IPS monitor for $319 on Amazon, and it turned out great!
    I was skeptical because I had never heard of the brand (CRUA), but it's been nearly impossible for me to find a 32 inch 4k monitor above 60 Hz for less than $400 (and the ones I do find are TN panels).
    So I took a chance when I saw this pop up, and I'm loving it!

    I don't fully agree with the way this is being presented. The only good monitors you showed are oleds with the only non oleds being the budget monitors. I think for every oled recommendation there's has to be an non oled option for those who don't want to spend $1000 on a panel that will destroy itself with burn-in within a few years. I have a LG C2 as a TV, I think its fantastic, but buying a monitors that's oled is in my opinion very dumb because of the use cases and massive amounts of static images monitors go through.
    best 1440p that isn't oled or budget?
    best ultrawide that isn't oled or budget?

    Thanks for a very helpful video. Your review helped me pick up the AOC G27G3XMN for my wife! She plays mostly single player story based games as well as some content creation. The HDR and VA panel are perfect for her and she is happy. I however want an Ultrawide 1440p, but i cant afford the prices of Ultrawide OLEDs, what are my choices? I'm surprised you haven't included any budget options in this category. I am aware that there don't seem to be any new non OLED Ultrawides. Are options from a few years ago worth it?

    How about the Gigabyte M27UA (Advanced)? You seemed to have liked it at least as well as the M27U.

    This is a great review of the best gaming monitors which we think will be useful in 2024! It was quite useful to compare the models available in various categories such as 1440p, 4K, ultra-wide and HDR. This article has helped me understand the important factors to consider when seeking to upgrade my device. Thank you for the breakdown and for the information about the best options and the considerations that need to be made! Hope to see more in the future.

    I think adding some 32 inch models to the 1440p segment, both low and high price, would cover even more prospective buyers with this video. I for one am looking for an affordable 32inch 1440p 120hz option with good response times and couldn‘t find anything here

    Even with these product choices. Do you think it could be worth the wait to see what's shown at CES 2025, Instead of buying one of these?

    The ASUS PG32UCDM is now under £1000 at Scan and Overclockers UK? Something new coming around the corner?

    Category Request. What’s is a good value for a Content Creation monitor?
    The only monitors I know are of the ASUS ProArt line.

    Gigabyte M32u was on sale for around $500 recently, and is smacking good if you want to make the jump to 4k.
