I’m reading a lot of comments from people arguing what monitor is what and which is best . I will say this, I had the 540 hz ASUS for 2 days and sold it .

I don’t care for the matte screens at all when it comes to oled and the difference in colors and clarity can be seen from across a room when comparing to a glossy screen . I have used a lot of high end monitors and have ordered this exact one to give a chance so we will see . I really enjoyed the 360hz Zowie I had, even more so than the 540hz ASUS . I’m for sure an above average fps gamer and with some monitors while all the specs will say it’s better that’s not always the case . It’s something you can just feel especially with tn panels . The zowie was the best I’ve used . With these 1440p monitors the advantage is in what you see . At distance there are just things I will see at 1440p on the 27 inch monitor that someone gaming on 1080p will not and after getting used to it, that advantage means a lot more than anyone realizes until they have it . On a game like cod where everyone is corner peaking and head glitching for example what you see and at what clarity and distance makes all the difference . Ulmb 2 seems to feel extremely smooth to me . Whether I play it on 240hz or 360hz it’s so clear and smooth it’s hard to tell the difference . With other monitors I’ve always been able to tell when the refresh rate was switched from 240hz to 360hz . I’m not sure why but the ASUS pg27aqn seems to be the monitor I always find myself keeping and going back to and no matter what I find myself playing better on it and I’m not exactly sure why .

if u want 4k 240hz as well, then the dual mode should serve your needs. But if 1440P is enough for you, then for sure this 480hz 1440P is a beast. So you got to weigh your options. Do you want to play AAA tiltes in 4k 240hz or do productivity work on a 32 inch 4k display? If yes, u can consider the dual mode monitors be it the LG 32GS95UE or the Asus PG32UCDP. I practically own both of these. Now using the LG one due to aesthetic and the asus one will be probably selling it. reason i bought is i have discounts to buy either 2, so selling away i will still get profits. :)
I have an Asus pg248qp but I'll switch to higher brightnes OLED monitor because PG27AQDP has only 275 nits Fullscreen brightness which is not enough for my bright room .
Will a +60 Hz improvement over existing 540 Hz TN panels even make a difference? If it can run Backlight Strobing at 120-600 Hz range, then it's probably worth buying over the 540 Hz TN (which I think only supports Backlight Strobing at 360 Hz and above?)
@@ZXTech I feel like you should have mentioned that it uses DSC to achieve the 480hz and can only do 240hz without DSC. DisplayPort 2 should have been used for such an expensive monitor to enable higher bandwidth especially when next gen gpus coming out this/next year will support it. Should have also mentioned long alt tabbing times (3-5 secs of black screen) due to DSC as another flaw with the monitor
Is the LG 32GS95UX-B 32" UltraGear™ Dual-Mode OLED Gaming Monitor with 4K UHD and Pixel Sound not a better buy if it's nearly the same price? You get 480Hz at Full HD on a 32-inch screen, which is impressive without stretching the sides in-game. The only concern is pixel clarity at 1080p on a 32-inch display. But for FPS games, does it really matter? I'm asking because I'm considering one.

@@chvtney I had one, 4k 240Hz is great but I've been used to 360Hz for ages so 240hz felt like a bigger downgrade to me than 4k to 1440p, so I'll definitely be getting one of these, I sent the LG back because the 480hz 1080P looked awful. And it flickers. And crushes black levels which is absolutely unacceptable to me, especially in ark scenes, it's horrible.
It's OK if you're not concerned about competitively play, but 1080p on 32" in a little blurry, and 32" at any res is just bigger than comfortable. You also can't run 480hz with aspect control on, so you're stuck 32". On the PG27AQDP, you can run 24.5" simulated at 480hz or 240hz BFI, which is much more competitive. It's OK as an overall monitor, but really I feel that 480hz 1080p on 32" is just kinda not useful, so I think there are better options. Optimum tech liked it for overwatch, though, so maybe it's fine for some people.
Ulmb2 is a gimmick I have an Asus pg248qp 540hz I don't use Ulmb2 because when I enable ulmb2 the monitor is getting very dark when I set the ULMB2 to PW50 at pw and ULMB2 is only good in the center of the screen.

I am struggling to decide what monitor to go for. I was using a 48 inch lg c1 oled but it got burn in and I got my money back from my extended warranty at costco. It is 4k and glossy but I wanted something smaller since 48 inch used to be the smallest oled you could get. I am not sure if I will notice massively going from 4k to 1440p if it's 27 inch instead of 48 inch for the pixel density and I am used to glossy. Been between getting a 27 inch 1440p oled and a 32 inch 4k but would prefer something glossy probably since that is what I am used to. I don't want it to feel like a downgrade that is my biggest worry.
Honestly, I said since I heard of the 540hz TN "it's pure shit". It's overpriced, washed out TN bull crap. I'd have rather had the 240hz OLED than the TN BS and the price. The price was ridiculous for the bad colors, bad brightness, bad response time (I don't mean imput lag, I mean the monitor response times), ghosting. Now there's the 1440p 480hz and the dual mode 4k/1080p 240hz/480hz displays that simply smoke this pile of crap TN, that is outdated as a technology and there's no upgrading it. TN is bad, always was, it was only good because it was cheap and more compact (compared to the old CRT monitors it replaced). Nobody liked it in particular, it was a necessary tradeoff. The 540hz TN shouldn't have costed a cent over 500 bucks, and even that is far too much
I think the price isnt a matter of being a rip off on purpose, its a matter of serving a real small niche with small demand. As a result the panel is only being manufactured at small amounts, meaning the cost will be significantly higher. Sucks that its so expensive though, for sure
@@ZXTech It definitely feels on purpose, it's absurdly pricy when you look at what other monitors can offer in that price range. I know it's a niche product and also it's intended for a small audience (thus low volume) but even then it still can't justify the drawbacks.
@deathcall6663 i mean, of course its on purpose, asus set it on the end of the day. But the product literally will not exist and will not be sold if asus couldnt sell it at this price, because its such a tiny market it will be utterly pointless to even develop and put into production, and so Asus HAS to set the price as such to make the product viable, as its a business that needs to justify its actions to its profit making incentive. Is it not worth it? For most definitely for sure. But is this priced in a way that kinda makes sense, i feel like it is still.
I have both a 27 and 25 inch monitor and even tho it's a 2 inch difference I still cannot play on my 27 inch and prefer my 25 inch monitor guess I'll never be upgrading to oled lol
@@unkkit151 is it still 1440p condensed into the shrunken aspect or does it revert to the pixel density of a standard 1080. id get it if its the same as my acer 24" 1440p
Real pro players use small 24 inch monitors because it's the best fit for LAN events. Zowies ARE the best 24 inch monitors. It's that's simple. As a result, eSports fanboys will always want to use what their favorite players use and become bias and want to say their monitor is #1.
I just wish they’d give us 24 inch 1440p OLEDs then tbh, nothing wrong with a 24 inch monitor but why can’t we at least get a good resolution and the best panel type?
@@ZXTech An OLED does not necessarily have better colors, but it does have a significantly better contrast. However, OLEDs have other weaknesses, such as flickering, which makes it impossible to combine ULMB with them. The future is called MicroLED.
@@he1go2lik3it I cant lie, I have never had an issue with flickering on these modern OLEDs - but TBF I dont need them cranked on brightness. Motion blur reduction on OLED is possible, its called Black Frame Insertion , and its early days for it, so we should wait and see IMO. When it gets cracked, Im sure OLED will take over for Esports. I wouldnt judge OLED too harshly, its early days for a whole new different kind of Tech on Monitors. With Time I am confident OLED Will fix many of what you have pointed out. MLA OLEDs, better material engineering etc are all OTW, so I wont write it off so early. As for MicroLED, I love how they are both Bright, have better contrast, have no burn in and Can possibly be integrated with ULMB/DYAC in the future, which might be what Zowie will do next. However, OLED's ability to have infinite Contrast, and Have near perfect Motion clarity (Not as good as ULMB Sure, but still leaps and Bounds beyond really any LCD without DYAC or ULMB), is exciting to me, since it means monitors can look amazing for esports even in weird resolutions or aspect ratios, because it doesnt need an Expensive Chip for Such Tech to have that excellent clarity, and as a result any OLED will at least be really good for Esports(Whether it be niche, cheap, or weird) whereas LCDs, MicroLEDs etc will need specific Tricks to keep up that wont be present on every single monitor with such panels due to cost.
okok, now in which games will you achieve 480 fps in 1440p, this is a good question. With the current line of graphics cards, 240hz at 1440p is more than enough

TN is bad, always was, it was only good because it was cheap and more compact (compared to the old CRT monitors it replaced). Nobody liked it in particular, it was a necessary tradeoff.
The 540hz TN shouldn't have costed a cent over 500 bucks, and even that is far too much
I think the price isnt a matter of being a rip off on purpose, its a matter of serving a real small niche with small demand. As a result the panel is only being manufactured at small amounts, meaning the cost will be significantly higher. Sucks that its so expensive though, for sure
@@ZXTech It definitely feels on purpose, it's absurdly pricy when you look at what other monitors can offer in that price range. I know it's a niche product and also it's intended for a small audience (thus low volume) but even then it still can't justify the drawbacks.
@deathcall6663 i mean, of course its on purpose, asus set it on the end of the day. But the product literally will not exist and will not be sold if asus couldnt sell it at this price, because its such a tiny market it will be utterly pointless to even develop and put into production, and so Asus HAS to set the price as such to make the product viable, as its a business that needs to justify its actions to its profit making incentive. Is it not worth it? For most definitely for sure. But is this priced in a way that kinda makes sense, i feel like it is still.

Congrats u spotted it :P
I have both a 27 and 25 inch monitor and even tho it's a 2 inch difference I still cannot play on my 27 inch and prefer my 25 inch monitor guess I'll never be upgrading to oled lol
I think it takes time to get used to
It offers a shrunken aspect that replicates a 24-25 inch monitor.
This is technically 26.5” viewable area.
@@unkkit151 is it still 1440p condensed into the shrunken aspect or does it revert to the pixel density of a standard 1080. id get it if its the same as my acer 24" 1440p
Real pro players use small 24 inch monitors because it's the best fit for LAN events. Zowies ARE the best 24 inch monitors. It's that's simple. As a result, eSports fanboys will always want to use what their favorite players use and become bias and want to say their monitor is #1.
Na man cs is dead and zovie monitors are not so much needed
@@itnews1202 24 inch mainly still used at LANs. Wake me up when half million dollar LAN events are using OLEDs
I just wish they’d give us 24 inch 1440p OLEDs then tbh, nothing wrong with a 24 inch monitor but why can’t we at least get a good resolution and the best panel type?
Market is too small for 24 Inch panels to justify LG/Samsung Manufacturing that SKU I think, as Much as I wish it exists
@@ZXTechyes eSports market is essentially niche. I'm sure the ultrawide audience is bigger at this point 😂
Should I use hdmi 2.1 or dp1.4 ?
Anyone here with neo g8? I consider buying from amazon refurbished very good condition and afraid of defects like scan lines and dirt yellow tint
Yes I have one since 2 years and it works perfectly 😊
ULMB2 brother, thats the thing you wanna have.
Not wrong, but I want my OLED Colours and HDR. When High Speed OLEDs get proper BFI (OLED's Dyac/ULMB) it will be over
@@ZXTech An OLED does not necessarily have better colors, but it does have a significantly better contrast. However, OLEDs have other weaknesses, such as flickering, which makes it impossible to combine ULMB with them. The future is called MicroLED.
@@he1go2lik3it I cant lie, I have never had an issue with flickering on these modern OLEDs - but TBF I dont need them cranked on brightness. Motion blur reduction on OLED is possible, its called Black Frame Insertion , and its early days for it, so we should wait and see IMO. When it gets cracked, Im sure OLED will take over for Esports. I wouldnt judge OLED too harshly, its early days for a whole new different kind of Tech on Monitors. With Time I am confident OLED Will fix many of what you have pointed out. MLA OLEDs, better material engineering etc are all OTW, so I wont write it off so early. As for MicroLED, I love how they are both Bright, have better contrast, have no burn in and Can possibly be integrated with ULMB/DYAC in the future, which might be what Zowie will do next. However, OLED's ability to have infinite Contrast, and Have near perfect Motion clarity (Not as good as ULMB Sure, but still leaps and Bounds beyond really any LCD without DYAC or ULMB), is exciting to me, since it means monitors can look amazing for esports even in weird resolutions or aspect ratios, because it doesnt need an Expensive Chip for Such Tech to have that excellent clarity, and as a result any OLED will at least be really good for Esports(Whether it be niche, cheap, or weird) whereas LCDs, MicroLEDs etc will need specific Tricks to keep up that wont be present on every single monitor with such panels due to cost.
@@he1go2lik3it oled DOES def have better colours XD
holy guys all whats matter in cs is latency ...everything else ull get used to it
Not fully correct, Latency is essential, sure, but if you cant see the enemy as clearly it wont be as ideal
okok, now in which games will you achieve 480 fps in 1440p, this is a good question. With the current line of graphics cards, 240hz at 1440p is more than enough
Valorant, CS2(hopefully w 9000X3D), OW. These are all esports titles people love having hella smooth gameplay on
@@ZXTech whos playing competitive games like CS in 1440p? Most people still using 4:3 res, dont waste your money just get 1080p 360 hz instead od this crap
@FlyOnix_95 thats the point i was trying to make in the video- 1440P is possibly beneficial if you are open to it! Its hardly crap, its just the cutting edge and theres always gonna be diminishing returns the higher you go:)
Its fun to look at the best and enjoy the latest and greatest, but as I said in my video too, its not for everyone
@@FlyOnix_95You have no clue what you're talking about, 4:3 res is amazing on 2k monitors (1920:1440)
Is Dsc bad fr this ?
adds input lag according to teste
@@mil-kw9zi what tests? can't find anything
Probably hardware unboxed! Unfortunately im sorry i dont have the capability to do such advanced tests right now :(
@@mil-kw9ziNope.
Setting that aside, these 480hz OELDs have less than half display out to photon out latency.
Those 540hz TN are a noob trap at this point. Pros just use it as they're sponsored/don't change stuff out of superstition.
@@whatistruth_1most pros are still on 240/360hz
its too big for pro gaming FPS, RTS and MOBA
U can run it in 25” crop - and im ngl, alot of moba lan tourneys have moved to 27” if im not wrong LCS does use 27 for example
@@ZXTech 25' crop makes it run slower and messed up they say
@@ImakeTankswho said that ?
I have no idea
TN or 1080p in 2024 is laughable
Tbf tn is really fast

Is this monitor better than asus pg248qp for cs2 ? For 4090 + 7800x3d ?
Imo, it is, since its more versatile- u can watch movies, play triple a games, do work all to a high level as well as getting an excellent cs experience

1440p is way better for competitive play
Real
not true, all pro on 1080p 24 inch for max advantage.
@@ImakeTanks its not an advantage lol, they just use what their sponsors make them use, if you look at ex pros like shroud, theyre using 1440p because they realise its better and no one is forcing them to use 1080p.
@yarincool1237 tbf its also cos pros want to get used to LAN tourney equipment which is almost always 24
@@yarincool1237 dude pros and hardcore gamers still run 720p on 1080p monitors for the advantage of bigger scaling and speed. 2k and 4k monitors are only for story games and posers they are not hardcore FPS RTS MOBA racing etc. hardcore gamers are still on 1080p. 60-70% of all gamers are still on 1080p. it's a video game your playing not a movie!
At the end your opinion is worthless, no any professional would go above 24.5 inch, and 1080 p because of smother experience and more fps, so until you are e sports professional your opinion doesn’t matter
Bro even shroud says 27" is better. And besides, is my advice meant for a pro? No. Its meant for the average consumer, and I promise the average user is gonna play better on this than a 24.5. oh and btw, just cos they are a pro doesnt mean they know anything, they're often just using what's comfortable for them, not whats optimal...
