Thanks for testing all of these monitors!
Had this monitor for a week after it suddenly became available on Newegg US. In the end, it wasn’t worth the price when the ASUS variant has a way better implementation of the panel. I couldn’t wrap my head around the aggressive ABL with HDR on it’s shipped firmware. Also, the build quality of this monitor is what you’d expect out of a $100-$200 product. Maybe some firmware update will help out the experience in the future, but for now it’s safe to say just go with either the LG or ASUS.
I've tried out all of them so far, and to me, the LG is the best bet. The reason being, the Asus's HDR colors are still very jacked up after their latest firmware update. The LG looked fine, IMO, and the brightness wasn't that much of a concern as long as you don't have extreme amounts of sunlight in your room.
@@trippalhealicks for me, I prefer a brighter monitor, regardless of room setting, which is why I got the ASUS.
@@alphapapa4446 Makes sense! It's definitely the brightest of the bunch. The only OLED I've tested that was brighter was the Alienware AW3423DWF, but it's an ultrawide which isn't for everyone.
The LG monitor is just fine.. you don't need blinding brightness lol..
@@matthewrezuke8130 that’s very subjective. It’s almost like personal preference is a thing
All Acer monitors have that issue where you manually have to switch to HDR every time in the OSD settings. Acers monitor firmware has a lot of these needless annoyances for no reason, its just mind boggling, what were those developers thinking?
For monitors with poor or no srgb modes i have used this neat clamp tool i found on github but i think in a recent update, nvidia dprecated the api allowing for this to be doable, either nvidia plans on adding support for srgb clamping in the control panel or they broke the api and don't care to fix it
Are you saying that novideo_srgb no longer works?! What the hell, man, why did they do it...
Tim can also check and review the ktc mini led options 1440 and 4k with their new firmware update
Yep, I am waiting for a different Panel with the same specs. I have an Oled TV LG C2 and it's nice but it hasn't made me want to run out and get an OLED Monitor. My M27qx is awesome just a little IPS glow but its easy on the eyes and has made me a fan of the high refresh rate.
Yea these crazy hdr monitors and oled monitors are gonna be worth it in 5-10 years when prices come down by a lot
Almost got the acer but then after a little research this weekend I saw it was the least bright of the bunch and decided to pull the trigger on the Asus!
Oh damn, kvm switch is pretty killer if you need it considering how expensive and hard to find high end stand alone KVM switches are. I have so much issues with kvm when shuffling my home work setup and my personal machine.
hey, update for this monitor has just droped on acer support page for it! would love to see your comments on it! seems to be you can turn off ABL and annoying image retention notification.
Thanks for the video. Can you review the Oled G9 please? 🙂 Would like to know the best accurate picture settings - thanks!
Hi Mr Tim, as always you are the goat of gaming monitor reviewer 🔥🔥.. sorry for my out of context questions, is it worth it to buy LG 27850 right now for my xbox series x? Thank you Mr Tim.. 🙏
I picked up the LG when it first dropped to $900USD during the May/June price dip, after rebounding, it's now available for $850USD in some places today.
I prefer matte for monitors or otherwise close viewing distance. I have a glossy laptop, which was not my choice, and the glossy reflections are terribly distracting.
My TV is glossy, and I feel it is fine at a comfortable couch viewing distance for content.
Hi there may get this for Christmas bit would you buy again or for another make
@@darrendavies1102 I'm very pleased with the LG model, Asus was off the table due to prior dissatisfaction with customer service. Corsair and Acer had not launched yet. I was so impressed with the LG monitor I bought an LG C2 on prime day to replace my aging plasma. Currently the monitor sits side by side an IPS display, which makes the black levels on the IPS look sad. HDR is cool to experience, watching a youtube video doesn't convey it any justice. Both the monitor and TV are plenty bright, I think any brighter would feel too intense, though I have no side by side comparison to experience. I don't think I could justify buying a 2nd oled monitor to outright replace my secondary display at the current price. The xeneon flex might have been interesting if the pixel pitch were not so bad, and its double the price, I'm sort of interested in curved screen from time to time, hopefully it's a concept that lives on.
I really like ur detailed Monitor reviews, could u review the new asus tuf vg27aqml1a next, i would love to see it
Hey, good Video! Will you review the Alienware AW2723DF as well?
Will you be reviewing the ViewSonic xg2431? I just bought one and it's fantastic
I was wondering if there's a point to buying a colorimeter
Would one make a measurable difference in content consumption?
the answer is probably not, unless your monitor is super bad in which case just buying a new monitor would be better
I also bought this monitor lately, i think it can't show different colour hues smoothly, as if the 10bit colour depth cant display changes in hues/shades smoothly. As a result, the different shades/ hues look like ripples on the screen each time the picture hue go from dim to bright. For example in the netflix 'the pope's exorcist', the intro green background scene of the 'sony picture' show much distortion and ripples. The next scene which go from dim lighting to bright also show much ripples.
Why did the Samsung Odyssey G7 Input lag measurment increase from 4.9 (in your review video) to 7.8? Seems like you've added more processing lag now?
Maybe Samsung firmware update messed something up.
would love to see reviews of the dell series like the dell g3223q
I tried multiple 27" oleds and the massive 45" oled from LG monitor, and all of them were a no-go on the text. So I got a 42" C2 and the 4k really helps with text.
What was wrong with 27" OLEDs?
ppi is similar about 108 on both.
Buys a sub 90 PPI monitor and complains about text clarity. The C2 and 27" have the same PPI. 😂
Regarding oversaturation without SRGB mode.... have you tested Windows 11's "Auto Color Management" ? Supposedly it deals with that issue.
Can you guys review the AOC Agon Pro AG274QZM? It seems to be the only 240Hz monitor I've been able to find that's an actual released product that has the HDMI 2.1 ports capable of the full 1440p at 240Hz...
maybe you should a review on the hp omen 27qs since i havent seen anyone review it yet and it seems good
Are there any 24-32” oled 1080p monitors out there? I’ve looking for a while and it seems like all the monitors are at least 1440.
Can you show a screenshot of the area used for hdr gaming real scene brightness??
Does this matt coating is the same heavy like the LG? Or Acer does use their own matt coating? I remember acer monitors had matt coating, but it was very nice ballanced. That grain wasn't that much noticed like at LG monitors.
the lack of HDR auto-switch is a huge no in my book...
even my ~330€ LG 27GP850-B has automatic HDR enabling & disabling along with windows or games
(e.g. as software enables HDR, monitor switches by itself too)
I don't know, man, seems like a very minor annoyance to me...
It looks great, simple, sleek design, with no unnecessary, unseen "gamery" designs and lights on the back, I can't stress this enough, no one is looking at the back of the monitor, it should be as bland and cheap as possible no matter the price point of the product
Prices are already starting to come down a bit, the LG 27GR95QE is €829,- over here (in the Netherlands). That ASUS has the nicest design in my opinion, but the price is almost 400 euro's higher over here.
whoever makes 32-inch 4k qled not curved monitor will be KING!
These monitors are still not recommended for programming right? The issues with reading text are still prevalent?
hey can you make a list of the cheapest 100% SRGB/whatever colour space is available out there? it doesnt have to be 1k Hz, just a 60Hz for work or anything like this. much appreciated.
I'm just gonna wait for the upcoming Blurbuster tuned OLED 240hz monitor, it's gonna be actually good.
LG reigns supreme
May I know 15:00 video clip of colour paint dipping comes from？Would like to play the video on OLED monitor. Thanks.
just from seeing the preview you showed of the monitor, as in the scenes, I think it looks less natural than the other. the paint scene at the begging for example
Finally someone made a video on this.
You mentioned that strobing isnt compatible with OLEDS, but I use the LGC1 strobing option to increase motion clarity to an equivalent of 313 fps.
I'm still gutted when they dropped 120hz support since 2 series
so for OLEDs its not "strobing" because there is no backlight to "strobe" its called BFI or "black frame insertion" where the screen flashes a black screen after every frame. it achieves basically the same thing, but it darkens the brightness if the screen overall. it also gives the "soap opera effect". because of the way it works, i would guess that higher FPS would mean even darker picture overall which is already a weakness of OLED in the first place
@absolutelysobeast You explained how OLEDs strobed while claiming they don't. It's just that the pixels are self emissivity on oleds, so the strobe comes from the pixels themselves, which is fantastic because that means zero crosstalk.
Also, if the refresh rate is high enough to transition from having a visible strobing effect to just looking dimmer, a higher refresh rate won't affect its brightness. That comes from the percentage of the refresh allocated to pixels being on vs off. In this way, it can become a tradeoff between brightness and motion clarity; not through refresh rate itself.
Also, the soap opera effect typically refers to the experience of the interpolation feature on many tvs today, which often gives mixed framerate effect which is off putting to some, but I will happily get any motion clarity and smoothness where I can.
It's a pity you forgot to show the gamma/EOTF tracking in the sRGB emulation mode! That's what could make this monitor or break it for me.
Is there any way to see that?
when are displayport 2.1 monitors (or TV's) coming out? ie. 1440p 540hz, 4k 240hz
Would love to see you guys review more miniLED monitors.
Then pay up piggy.
with the downsides of lcd, id bite the bullet and go for an oled. you still have to spend a fair bit of money to get a okay monitor with not terrible miniled performance
@@sakracliche with the downsides of OLED, I'd bite the bullet and go for a miniLED.
@@DrakonR blooming and inherently bad dark levels. noticeably slow response times. poor viewing angles. pricey for what they offer.
oled doesn't get as bright as miniled can, but otherwise it's a package with advantages of tn, ips and va taken to another level.
burn in hasn't been a problem for those who aren't careless, if you take at least a bit of care of your screen, it will look brand new for years
@@sakracliche you can't BS me. I own an LG C1, X95K 85", a neo g8, and I've tried all of the OLED monitors.
miniLED is a much better experience overall. I'm not saying OLED is bad, but the hype is just hype and there's something to be said about great miniLED displays.
Dough, the company behind the Eve Spectrum, is currently working on a monitor with this same panel that also has glossy glass. Are there any plans to review that as well when it eventually comes out?
Have Eve improved their delivery promises?
I waited 6 months for a mouse pad before I gave up and cancelled the order.
@@Patchow when I initially (blindly and stupidly) ordered mine, they promised shipping would begin in July-August. I believe the latest update today is mid to late September. Now at the time of ordering I was expecting a glossy finish panel, since then they partnered with Corning Glass to add glass to the monitor. Apparently it having glass is a big deal because according to them only Apple and Microsoft sell displays with glossy finish glass. So it that worth the delay? I can’t give a straight answer because on one hand it’s an added feature that I did not originally pay for or expect to have. On the other I placed an order from a company who is known to not be the quickest getting out products, and should have expected a wait longer than what is currently expected.
Tim, have you reached out to Gigabyte regarding the M27Q X and it's disappearance?
Do you have any plans to review Philips 27B1U7903? I will not be buying Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 or G8, so I'm looking for 4K HDR 16:9 alternatives.
What would be the best gaming n work monitor between 30-40inch? I am using a predator 34inch, thinking to change it as it has been yrs, Anything to recommend?
PG42UQ Firmware V040 out!! Supposed to improve HDR.
Can you please revisit this monitor for HDR performance??
When will you be reviewing the Oled G9?
I'd still *_LOVE_* to know why the LG 27GR95QE has such a strange problem with overshoot. The problem isn't present on *_ANY other OLED._*
This is the beta, the next version, or two, will fix it 💀
The fact that they didn’t learn from other companies doing 2.0 when they are the latest to release the same damn monitor is astonishing. All they would have to do was steal all the other monitor’s best traits and they would’ve made more profit than any of them plus win monitor of the year.
Thanks for the review!
So glad I did not go with the X27U over the Asus version.
You bought one of these panels without dp2.0 or hdmi2.1.. interesting 💀
@Pisscan why do i need hdmi 2.1, when my PC, I am already getting 240Hz @ 1440p over dp 1.4, why on earth would you need more bandwidth if the max the monitor can do is already capable with dp 1.4?
You make no sense?
@@noelnarayan6135 hdr 4:4:4? 🤡
Hi Tim, I do need some advice about watching 1080p videos on 1440p monitors that no one is talking about !
Tried some high-spec 1440p models but all of them were blurry, shockingly worse than 1080p native monitors while playing 1080p videos.
Then I unfortunately learned that the scaler won't be able to precisely transpose the 1080p image onto the 1440p screen. Meaning, blur and other visual artifacts make the video look substantially worse than 1080p native monitors and it's not related with bitrate or compression etc.
Mainly watching 1080p shows, movies (not streaming on youtube/Netflix etc) and have a huge archive... Tried 4K monitors/TVs with 1080p videos and they look just fine, equal to 1080p native ! 4K is exactly four times 1080p resolution; this means that for every pixel in 1080p, there are four pixels in 2160p, so you just make each pixel four times bigger. Looks exactly like a 1080p display.
I want to upgrade to 2K for games, web & work but "to watch 1080p videos blurry with artifacts" is holding me back.
4K is hard to drive and it's expensive but definitely clearer than 1440p !
- Should I skip 1440p & invest in 4K monitors ? Can you do a video about the elephant in the room ?
As a programmer I wonder how "programmer text color themes" would look like on OLED monitors i.e. in my case dark mode grey background with some half muted text colours.
Most IDE's has these color themes that are more pleasant for the eyes and used for the purpose to highlight the language syntax, I wonder how well OLED monitors performs in this use case.
If we would use my case as an example the background grey color is around 10-15% Value and most text colors are "half muted" (50-80% for both Saturation and Value), white colour tops at around 80%.
Hello fellow programmer! It looks fantastic, with a few limitations if you want to avoid burn-in:
1. Can't maximize windows, have to use floating windows and move them around once in a while.
2. Have to disable window snapping
3. Have to auto-hide taskbar
4. Have to auto-hide menu bar (on MacOS)
All in all, it is probably better to wait for now. Burn-in will not be fixed for the OCD amongus, but monitors will get bigger and denser.
Tim my man, your caution about OLED burn in helped me decide to go with the Alienware AW3821DW over the AW3423DWF. Chose the Nano IPS so I can work and not worry about burn in (I saw your video describing the faint line down the middle of your AW3421DW screen & that was enough for me hehe...). Also I'll be in a fairly bright room while working so IPS should work better there too, and no glare off the screen. I really wanted that OLED but from what I've seen in reviews Nano IPS sounds like a decent compromise for both work and gaming (even if the HDR isn't good lol...). This 3840x1600p screen is going to be sweet though for "work work" and of course for my side job of video editing timelines, pod casting... etc... etc... I'll get it next week and can't wait.
For my kids, I went with 1440p 165hz VA panels, again, burn in concerns and they're terrible for turning off their screen savers and leaving their PCs sitting stagnant for hours. Not to mention they do hours of schoolwork etc... just too much static stuff on their screens all the time and I don't want to risk the burn in there either.
Anyway, as must as I'd have loved that OLED HDR experience, I'll give the tech a few more years to sort out burn in and the like.
the future will come!
so you’re waiting for micro led then
since I personally have to use HDMI, the 2.0 ports on this model instantly disqualify it for me.
Yeah I’d accept it on a 400€ monitor, not this
Could you review the acer xv275k p3 as well? Thank you!
Is it worth the wait on a WQHD 27inch QD-Oled, or should i prefer waiting on a 4K 27inch MiniLED with 2000+ Diming zones ? I Love Oled, but i also work a lot on my PC, so the Subpixel layout (Text) is a huge concern for me
diming zones in 2023? 💀
Are you going to review the AOC Agon AG276QZD?
Hope the next gen WRGB monitor panels will fix the dirty screen effect on gray backgrounds
I wouldn't get your hopes up. I have never seen an OLED that didn't have this issue.
@@jonRock i quess got super lucky with my 55 cx oled
@@Takashita_Sukakoki yeah probably
@@jonRock the bigger oleds seem to avoid the vertical banding on gray background
In canada only Best buy is selling the asus version of this oled and I wanted to see text clarity. They had a demo running, so after some setup, launch a web browser and boy was it bad. even the windows 11 time was hard to read on the blue background. The sale person was trying to indicate a bad Nvivda setup. To my eyes it looked blurry (for black text on a white background), but text on different coloured background oh boy is got really bad... If you are planning to buy any of this oleds get them to show you text-clarity.. Not just black on white but with different colours...
You actually have a brain 🫡
in Oz its 1899 and Asus is 1799 ( PCGC) but I got the LG for 1477 for Harvey Norman ..$320 is just to big an advantage to knock back ..ohwell, the 4090 needs something to make it work :-)
Can you review some *IPS Black* monitors also??
What's with 2023 gaming monitors not including HDMI 2.1? Surely it can't be that expensive to include something that came standard with 2020 OLED TVs.
AU Optronics and INNOLUX need to get oled market asap. We need more variations
Why? LG is the king of OLED, they're proven workhorses at this point
This is only one that dose not says g sync compatible will it work?
Any news of Windows 11 possibly improving on OLED text clarity? I am fairly hopeful on Microsoft working on this, given how many “non mainstream” features they are adding already.
They have touched on this, possibly in a Q&A video. Basically, no one uses the standard Microsoft has implemented, so it will take some effort to do that.
and what do you do with that ? only the windows stuff will benefit from it ....not even the browser takes the windows cleartype fully... most apps and games totally ignore it. So yea ...those windows icons will have some nice text under them ...thats it.
lol Microsoft won't do jack for years about this.
I've been looking for a premium monitor that will support VRR on the PS5. Its been tricky with majority of the options including HDMI 2.0 and only few with native G-sync. Was wondering if anyone has looked at the Benq EX2710U. Does the picture quality stack up against the LG GN950-b?
@@VoltKraken5555 incorrect! It does not have free-sync support! Very few monitors support it! Needs to be native g-sync to run on 2.0!
@@VoltKraken5555 I wanted the AW2723DF but doesn’t support VRR on PS5
If you have $1000 buy the lg oled, at least that one has hdmi 2.1 💀
Was the audio speed slowed down? Seems slower than normal
For the money it seems like Alienware 34” DWF is the clear winner still at $900 US and yes slower at 165Hz. Right?
A little bit disappointed from this monitor,but my corsair xeneon oled should arrive today and I got it for only "900€" on Amazon.
Thx 4 the video
Yeh my one is arriving some time this week, only reason I picked the corsair was the burn in warranty.
@@zeogamingmc same
And it looks good
After all of these OLED monitor reviews it seems the only two competitors on the market are the LG WOLED variants and the QD OLED variants, and it would appear the QD OLED is the better option providing the brightest and most vibrant picture with the best HDR performance. I had no idea that when I bought my Alienware AW3423DW that I was getting the cream of the crop of OLED monitors. It was the first, and apparently still the best, aside from it's little brother, the DWF variant. Also, just found out that the washed out look in Windows 10 after enabling HDR is a brightness/contrast issue rather than a saturation issue. After manually setting the brightness/contrast settings in the AMD software and upping the contrast in the monitor settings it looks even better now, something I thought wasn't even possible. Now the image is just mind blowing how black the blacks are and the color pops like nothing I've ever seen with the brightest of highlights. Truly something to behold. Can't believe I was missing out on even better image quality. I genuinely thought I was seeing the best this monitor offered, and I was already really impressed. Boy was I wrong, lol!
Yeh man qd oled is the best. If ur still looking for an upgrade the s95c blows everything else to pieces, just depends if you can allow a 55' and move further back
Looks like they added some nice HDR features in Win 11. I want the 34” QD little brother you mentioned for $900 it seems like the deal.
Isn’t it missing HDMI2.1 though?
@@Patchow HDMI 2.1 doesn't really matter since it has display port. The only thing I have it hooked to is my PC and display port is all I use. HDMI 2.1 is really for console gaming purposes as display port fulfills pretty much all PC gamer's needs. This monitor is not a good choice for console gamers since it's in an ultra-wide screen format which they don't support.
The white sub pixel is actually a blessing, I work with these displays and let me tell you that the G3 with MLA is MUCH better than QD OLED. Instead of whites looking blue or grey the color is actually white. QD OLED is rubbish,
Not true, why you always lying?
i want a 27 inch OLED but i dont want a matte finish and i want it to be QD-OLED
I just got this monitor for 600$ yesterday because it was on sale is it a good monitor?
whens the oled g9 review coming out?
have any of these issues been fixed 6 months later im looking to buy a monitor tomorrow and been researching and noticed this is at 600 dollars. but am scared and looking for a good 1440p 240hz monitor for desktop usage and gaming
Please can you review the Phillips evnia 34M2C8600?
rock on brother
What gpu would I need to hit a consistent 240fps?
At 1440p
Oled 4k 32 inch with 165hz is what I am waiting for.

Someday we'll have OLED monitors without all these compromises. Me personally? I'm waiting for mini-LED ultrawides in a 34 inch form factor :(
Woled? Nopes... I am just happy with my qd-oled ultrawide hopefully in a couple of years I can upgrade to a 4k 240hz
I keep seeing reports of bad quality control with the pg27aqdm and bad customer service... i want it but nervous to buy it
Might as well review the AOC model too, now that youve done the other 4 already 😅
With all of the drawbacks and no warranty coverage for burn-in this monitor should be priced at $799.99 US to be compelling.
I really want a 240Hz OLED…but I realize I’d rather wait until the next generation of panels where they hopefully incorporate ULMB2 (aka black frame insertion) and up the refresh rate to 360 or even 480. 480 with BFI would be INCREDIBLE.
Wtf do tou even need 480hz for? You’re not gonna be better at fps playing at 480hz lmaoo😂
The ASUS version does this now for an effective 1000hz+. This guy @nxxiv436 sounds like a broken record, I bet he said the same thing when 144hz came out. Or maybe he was too young lmaooooooo😂😂😂😂
@@atomiccelery6798Well, beyond 240hz refresh rate is imperceptible to the eye unless it's on a 200" screen from 10 feet away. As much as anyone tried to deny it. You gain micro seconds in response time, that's about it.

@@OC.TINYYYmotion clarity increase is perceptible beyond 240 hz yes there are diminishing returns but there are also still big gains in motion clarity… for example when 480 hz oled comes out it will have 2 Ms persistence blur which will be double what crts used to have but it will look amazing and will be much better than the current models and brightness will improve over time especially once pholed tech comes.
where can i get that lava wallpaper?
Still waiting for 24" 1440p240 glossy oled. Although, I would need to significantly change my behavior regarding usage because I would burn that thing in really fast. In fact maybe I should have it on an arm and just drop it in front of my primary monitor for gaming and content watching.
Never happening
@@ronniekregar3482 Give it time. Eventually we'll reach the holy grail.
@@cracklingiceNot happening. Stick with 1080p if you want a laptop screen.
@@svn5994 24" is the PERFECT size for a gaming display and 1440p is the perfect resolution. The combination is perfect match. It provides similar PPI (pixels per inch > resolution) to 4k at 32 inches without being a literal TV on a desk. It's far easier to drive than 4k so you can either run a cheaper GPU or go 80 class and get a high refresh experience. To get a 1440p at anything larger than 24" is basically the same quality as having gotten a normal sized 1080p monitor and putting it closer to your face.
I didn't believe all the negative reviews around these panels being too dim. Picked up the LG model as it was recently on sale and I was honestly shocked how bad it is. Easiest return ever.
Yeah this first gen doesn't seem to be worth getting for a variety of reasons
That's subjective to your tolerance and room light. I'm using the Xeneon 27 OLED in SDR and ABL off and, while I wish it was a little brighter, it's perfectly fine for me. With ABL off it looks great but I hate the brightness fluctuation when using Windows. I'm the kind of guy who use IPS panels at 30/40% brightness though.
Yep, most people think brightness wouldn't be a big issue since they don't use their IPS monitors at high brightness, but you don't really get the saturation and contrast that OLED can deliver, without high brightness. HDR requires around 300 nits minimum. Once eyes adjust to the higher brightness, it all makes sense and people realize the necessity for that increased brightness, even if their room isn't bright.
@@fastica"fine."
Copium in full effect.
For more context I've been using a LG C2 42" for about 9 months as my primary display. I've used a service remote to turn off TPC and GSR so it's much brighter than stock. The low brightness on the 27gr95qe made the colors look washed out and just off putting. I think pairing the lower brightness with a matte screen makes it worse. If you're coming from using a traditional style monitor at low brightness it'll probably look somewhat normal. I've also tried the AW3423DWF and it was much much better. If the text clarity wasn't so bad I would have kept it. I'm a developer so text clarity is moderately important.
A big company needs to take glossy oled gaming monitors seriously
Word up! Only a blind man thinks matte is preferable. I don’t care what their lighting situation is.
I have 20wmgx2 from 2006 or a qnix 2710 that look better than any matte finish panel.
I love the lighting in this video.
Waiting for a 240hz 4K oled and then I'm sold.
Can anyone give me some info about Alienware AW2724DM? i want to know is it good, reponse time, ghosting performance etc. thanks
Why aren't manufacturers using HDMI 2.1 yet? I would think companies would want maximum compatibility with pc and console by now.
For that matter why not Display port 2.1?
Please, make a review on monitor 1440p Alienware AW2724DM 🙏
Is there a reason Rtings and Bench House are reporting excessive amounts of input lag up to 20ms at 60hz with the Acer and you not only aren't, but you are finding respectively the same low input lag results across all WOLED 1440 240hz 27 inch monitors?
so which of the 4 monitors is number 1?
Was excited about this till I heard no hdmi 2.1....at this point hdmi should be industry standard on ANY high end monitors.
Anyone know how to enter service menu on this model?
While I'm glad the name isn't a jumble of seemingly random letters and numbers, it is rather a bit similar to the E27u monitors we have at work. 😄
