Got this one today , and coming from a 144hz 1080p monitor the difference is INSANE ! Not really pushing 360 fps in games on extreme settings with my 6800XT but just wanted to be "futureproof".
Awesome review! Just picked this up at BB for $550 and is my first OLED Monitor. It’s a game changer and so beautiful. I’m using on an Xbox Series X and gotta figure out why all my boxes weren’t checked bc HDR and other stuff wasn’t “checked”. Again, thanks for the review!
you picked up the XG27AQDMGZ not the ACDNG. Nothing wrong with that, just want to make sure you know the difference. DMGZ from best buy is the WOLED with MLA model with semi-glossy screen, 240hz. The model in this review is the ACDNG which is QD-OLED, 360hz
Great review! I bought this monitor a few days ago and I'm waiting for it to be delivered.... Which Game Visual preset did you use for the Color Gamut test?
If that’s the 240hz MSI monitor then the refresh rate will be different. Outside of that look into their oled care features and picture presets to help you decide.
Thank you for the step by step review, so far I think you have the most comprehensive review on this rarely mentioned monitor. Would you be able to tell me if you can completely turn off screen move/pixel shift? Unfortunately I absolutely notice this, especially since the intent is to run it in a dual monitor setup, and it was bad enough that made me return the Alienware AW2725DF after trying them for a month.
Honestly was about to pull the trigger on the Alienware 360hz, but this has everything + more like the 90w usb c (awesome for rog ally/steam deck) AND it’s currently $200 cheaper!

So you’ll get the new panel sub pixel layout with both of this monitors but I’d try to see it in person for either before buying if you can.

I’ve reviewed both. The ROG has more options across the board compared to the G6. I like the G6 design and the metal is nicer than plastic.

Why does Amazon always put matte for the screen description when it’s not Matt and it’s glossy? they do this for a lot of the other monitors that are QD that are glossy as well Has anyone else noticed that?
Companies don’t double check their product listing. All of the monitors I’ve reviewed from various companies all have errors on the product listing. I’ve emailed all of them about the issues and rarely do they get fixed
Currently using the XG27ACDNG, I will say the semi-glossy panel sure does suffer in ambient/natural lighting and almost defeats the purpose of spending extra on OLED. I am considering going back to the ACDP 480Hz Matte model.
I used the qd oled of alienware which was 2k 360hz semi gloss and I can say the AQDP (480hz) Matte is NOT BAD ppl shit on matte way too much and the new panel clearly did help because when I tested the older asus one the oled 2k 240hz it was actually bad that I had to return it.. grainy and bad text was unusable
Nice! I was looking the pg32ucdm but i see the hdr mode there is blocked u cannot adjust anything and its quiet orang like. How is compare to the xg27 240hz ? I guess the qd oled just pops better.
exactly, the qd oled colors get brighter and are more accurate. The 240hz looks great too, in some scenes it even looks better. But overall the qd-oled looks the best most of the time. honestly can't go wrong with either, especially since the 240hz is $150 cheaper

i went down this rabbit hole. I had a 1440p 27", was great for gaming but wasn't quite satisfied watching 4k videos on netflix/amazon. Upgraded to 4k 27", and while my videos looked slightly better, the games looked the same except now I was getting 50 fps instead of 100+ fps. The pixel density of a 27" screen makes 4k and 1440p nearly identical. In gaming, there is almost 0 difference. Watching videos you can tell a difference only in far away scenes. This monitor ACDNG actually lets you choose 4k as a resolution in the display settings and will use AI upscaling to present a 4k picture. Games looked the same, but videos looked slightly sharper. Not saying there is 0 differences, but IMO the difference is not worth the FPS hit. 4k is best suited for screens 32" and larger
