Tim's ability to rattle off random strings of letters and numbers with complete ease never ceases to amaze me.
because he's reading a script mate
@@Benuxd9ver Yeah, but he sure can read!
He also only shows the final cut. You think this is all 1 take?
Teleprompters are good :).
Are you sure Tims mind hasn’t had a meltdown after all these reviews and is randomly spewing letters and numbers now 😅😂🤣😅😂🤣it boggles the mind how they come up with these ridiculous monitor names 😧!
I have 3 monitors, and everyone I purchased was from your recommended videos. Thank you Tim.
Which ones did you get and which one is the best?
Please answer his question
@@idfk8268 yeah!

Would love to see ultrawide recommendations as well!

Ended up going with Asus XG349C personally earlier this year
Got my 27GR83Q towards the end of last year for about $315 and have been very much enjoying it so far, especially now that I calibrated it a bit. Glad to see it's still on your list of recommendations.
How do you calibrate the display?
Tell us your settings to copy, please 🙏
Thanks you, Tim, for the work!
Let’s go, been waiting for exactly this
Where we going?
Okay I'm down let's go
I've been hanging on to my 27" 1440P 144hz for a while now and feeling like it might be time for a few more hz. Great timing. Cheers for the overview
I had to buy a new 27" 1440p monitor last year since my last one didn't like moving for some reason and kicked the bucket.
Got the 27in 1440p oled 240hz LG monitor for 2 months now. And it's been great. Same as you, was looking to upgrade to something with more hz and the LG definitely hit the spot with the 240hz and the oled screen amplified the 1440p experience.
I bought the AOC MiniLED almost at launch and honestly it's incredible how good it looks after some tunning, and those 1350 nits full screen are outstanding! best buy ever!
Hey dude, does it have smearing? Is it noticeable while scrolling text? (imagine programming on it)
I having a hard time trying to configure it for proper HDR. Colours looks washed out, windows UI elements are more dimmer than others, (the whites basically kill you eyes), have a red tint that cannot be fixed because HDR locks some OSD options... I had headaches with this AOC miniLED monitor.
If you can tell me what settings are using for SDR and HDR, will be really appreciated. Thanks.
P.S for programming with dark themes, (or basically scrolling the web with dark theme) the ghosting is very noticeable with letters turning green and flickering during the scroll. Is bothering...
Thank you so much for the video, I needed it a lot.
Nice to See such a Video, but ist there any information about recommendations for 1440p 32"? Looking for those for my Sim rig why I dont want 27"
This is just in time! Thank you
What is your opinion about MSI G274QPF E2? I hope you'll do a review for her 😅😅
What a surprise. Wishlisted 27GR83Q few months ago, now MSI G274QPX is on sale.
Nice vid, thanks!
Can you review LG 27GS95QE-B too please? I rarely find any info on this monitor
Thanks for the video.
Can you please investigate why some reviewers criticize high input lag on the MSI 271QRX? especially on 120hz and 60hz modes with VRR on?
If you can test these areas will be much appreciated
Any chance at getting a "portable monitor round up" video? id be genuinely interested in the quality of 27-32 inch portable monitors, they seem way cheaper than comparable monitors of the same size.
Would love to see a review of the Koorui 27E3Q, have been curious of the quality for a bit now.
Did you see RTINGS VRR Flickering problem from OLED and VA panels? Do you want to implement these tests for monitors?
I’m happy with my Cooler Master GP27U Tempest after MUB did their review as it, at the time, was a vg price with great feature set imo 🥰😇💪👍🤤
So happy to see my 3 year old LG GL850B here on the list
Stoked to see that both of my monitors ended up on your list 😅
Can you please do a special episode just focused on scanlines? I’m curious as to what mechanisms cause them to occur, how they can sometimes be attributed to panel to panel variation (panel lottery) and why we seem to be seeing this issue more and more with modern LCDs.
Personally I find scanlines a dealbreaker, and I’ve seen them on virtually every VA panel I’ve tried, and even an IPS I saw recently (albeit only in motion with VRR).
Hey Tim, any chance of looking at the KTC M27T20? 1440p 165Hz HVA miniLED HDR monitor with 576 dimming zones... it tends to fall under $300, which is extremely cheap for what it offers on paper!
The AOC Q27G3XMN may be great, but it is 435€ in Germany so I said „Fck that, I‘m not paying 435€ for a monitor that is worth 280 USD“ and went for the LG 27GR83Q-B for 359€ which is 350 USD in the US.
Danke für den Tipp, bist du zufrieden mit dem LG 27GR83Q-B und kannst den weiterempfehlen?
Except the LG 27GR83Q-B is a disgusting edge lit monitor. Wouldn’t pay a penny over $99 for something like that.
@@RidvanGER Ich hab ihn noch nicht ausgepackt, da ich auf mein bestelltes Netzteil warte.
@@Toritori-ke9sf There was another reason for not getting the AOC. There have been reports that the firmware of the EU version is bugged and as you know you can’t update the firmware on it.
@@RidvanGER hol dir den dell g2724 hab alle getestet hatte sogar den aoc hier und der hat mich 450 gekostet der dell nur 319 und der ist so viel besser guck dir videos auf youtube an und dell hat auch eine 3 jahr pixel garantie und mein dell hat garkein IPS bleed oder diese lichthöfe die bei schwarzen bildern meist standard
Could you please review the updated LG 27GS95QE-B? 🙏
Bought the AOC a few months ago and loving it so far.
Thermaltake recently launched monitors. Do you plan on doing reviews on them any time soon? There seems to be only one or two reviews on them till now.
Can you guys take a look at the Pixio PX277 OLED MAX? Really interested in it given the price, it's like $200 below the Asus OLED one with similar, if not identical, specs
I upgraded my main 1440p and 2 1080p monitors recently for a crazy good price. Got the 240hz Gigabyte GS27Q-X for $300 and a 170Hz Gigabyte GS27Q for $180. The MUB reviews and recommendation videos really helped me when searching. I was looking for 75-144hz for the side, but that deal was too good. Can't be happier with all 1440p high refresh panels now!
got a AW2725DF arriving today because of your videos, thanks for the best monitor suggestions I cant wait to use my first oled coming from ips 165hz 1440p.
it’s an absolutely goated monitor
bro what do you think about this monitor are you like it ?
@@abderrahmaneait7953 amazing suggestion by monitors unboxed, it is incredible. Smoothness is exceptional, my fps gameplay has improved solely because of the 360hz. Colors on the oled are very nice and there are ways to get accurate colors or bright popping oled colors. Very happy with it, my only wish is that it was cheaper but still very happy. 480-540hz oleds are coming out later this year if you can wait, I would’ve probably got those instead but I was impatient
I have the AW2723DF, worth the upgrade?
@@dill6078 I went from 1080p TN 360Hz to the AW2725DF and the upgrade was massive. I don’t know how worth the upgrade is in your case. But I can say OLED looks amazing.
One of my new favorite channels. Helping a lot these videos since I am looking for a new monitor. Only thing I am missing is the ultrawide recommendations.
Hi Tim,
Do you recommend the newer M27Q X (rev. 2) or M.S.I.'s G274QPX? Both specs on paper are almost the same, with Gigabyte having a slightly lower response time and the other model having a 27% higher contrast. Price is negligible in Australia ($10 difference). A significant amount of ghosting in the test for the rev. 1 at max refresh rate is my only concern and I am hoping this issue was straightened out in the more recent version.
any opinions of the MSI MAG 274QRF-QD E2? I consider getting it or the M27Q-P they both go for the same price in my region about 100$ cheaper than the lg 27gl850
Is the kvm switch actually a good feature? if it works well I will use it for my laptop, otherwise I'll just get the Dell G2724D I think, any opinions?
Hey, is the LG UltraGear 32GP750-B good?
Can you please mention how much (if any) USB ports monitor has and also - does monitor has proper power cable or that external power brick which i absolutely abhore.
I would like to know your opinion on the MSI MAG 274QRF-QD E2, as I recently purchased it but want to know what setting on it is better fpr someone that often play in the dark
I have this monitor too. Very happy with it for the $280. Seems like a fair deal with how nice it is.
Hey there Monitors Unboxed. I have a question:
Why wasn't the LG 27GS95QE-B ever reviewed by you guys, or included in any of the lists such as this video? The previous version, the 27GR95QE-B, was featured pretty often, so I'm wondering why the refreshed version of it was never mentioned.
Cheers :)
I'm literally ready to order the Q27G3XMN right now, but it's sold at both Newegg and Amazon in the US at the moment 😢.
Hello. I'm missing the Acer Predator XB273U F, the direct competitor to the ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz PG27AQN (both are 1440p 360Hz, Fast IPS, support G-Sync and ULMB2 (not while using G-Sync), etc..)... o.o
Congratulations on another remarkably high-quality video! ^^
Sally, the AOC Q27g3mxn’s!price has spiked since early march here in Europe/Sweden. Early march you could pick it up for about 250€ excluding (25% VAT (sales tax). Now it’s about 415€ (still excl. VAT)… I was going to get this as complementary for my 1080p IPS I use for comp gaming. But at that price I’ll just hold off and possibly buy an oled later on.
I have just bought myself my first 1440p 144 HZ monitor by following your last year's guide but found that the European market pricing is completely different to what is available in the US.
I ended up getting the HP omens 27q.
tuned in hoping to see a larger than 34" ultrawide rec :(
I know it's not advisable to go 32" with 1440p, but do you have any recommendations for a budget 240hz 32" monitor ?
please test the Koorui 27e3qk, others say it offers fantastic IPS 1440p 240hz at just $270 with response times lower than 4ms (aka better than G274QPX) but it sounds too good to be true and I want to see the response times at other refresh rates and your opinion as well
DONT GET KOORUI MONITORS , had a "165hz" and after a months of using it the screen goes out when u try to run games with 120 fps
@@kuda2245 idk man 90% of people literally recommend the koorui 24e3 as the best budget gaming monitor right now with no problems and i have two friends that have had theirs for a while now and still work fine
Is there any chance you guys will review the Samsung 57" dual 4k? Compare it "in practice" to an OLED? The productivity side offers no burn-in and hows the HDR?
Both the LG 27GL850 and the MSI G274QPF-QD are not available at all while the AOC G27G3XMN costs 440€. Any other recommendations in this class?
Have you reviewed the innocn 34" qd oled ultrawide ?? It looks pretty good for price.
I can't can't find stock for the msi mpg 271qrx, and the mag 341cqp is at the same price, is the 34" worth it or should I wait?
Cool video and thanks for the recommendations. Unfortuneatl, the models name differ in europe. How do I find the matching europe models?
I'd love for you guys to review some Iiyama monitors, they're very competitive in terms of price and specs but I have no idea how those specs actually hold up to testing.
looking for advice, in my region the Samsung Odyssey G7 (27") is available for under 400 USD while the MSI G274QPX is about 370 USD, not sure which one would be "the better deal."
Apart from the QC issues and the aggressive curve, is the G7 a compelling option at 400 USD? most of the caveats I've seen from reviews were always from its top-of the line 700+ USD price point.
Of course the reality is to consider the deal-breaking QC issues but I'm honestly unsure if Its just that poor a product or if it's salvageable with a reasonable price?
Hi Tim, could you look into Asus TUF VG27AQ3A. It cost only 399 bnd (Brunei). I am no expert in monitor but based on this recommendation, I was looking at MSI G274QPF-QD (439 bnd) which I was thinking to get but ASUS monitor release in my country just today. Can you help me recommend which monitor should I get?
Hey where im from i can get the lg ultragear 27gp850 for 265 and the AOC Q27G3XMN for 380. Would you say the aoc is worth the extra 100 bucks?
380. Which one would you recommend? Ar
This is exactly the information I was looking for! I mainly play consoles and want 27” screen size. Everything else is overkill honestly. I don’t need over 144hz. I imagine most people are like that. So now I know which monitor to get. Thanks!
Could you do a review on the AOC CQ27G3Z? I cant find any good reviews of this monitor.
Is the Acer predator XB273U IPS 270Hz still a viable monitor today?
Do you have any suggestion for 1440p and 32 inch
Great video, but knowing that the ROG AQDP will be coming later this year I will wait a bit. I would just add a curved monitor to the list.
Thanks!!
Can you do a review of the MSI G274QPF E2?
+1
so do i get AW2725DF or asus PG27AQDM, can't pick for myself, honestly idk
Is the Aoc q27 good for playing cod? Or would the lg be better?
Could you do a recommended settings video for the MSI oled care settings. I’ll be honest the times and levels is so obscure I don’t understand it completely.
just cjecked and the AOC monitor seems to be like hens' teeth in the UK. I, too, would love to hear any recommendations for similarly priced/performing monitors.
I’ve had the aoc for a bit over two months and satisfied
The first came with a dead pixel and banding in hdr using the included display cable so I would buy from a store you know does replacements
how can you tell what a dead pixel is
@@ThaMourningAfter If a pixel doesn't give off light, can be a problem with a single channel in the rgb or all of them
Display a full red, then green, and then blue image and see if you can spot any black dots that aren't dust on the screen, take close up picture
@@chradon. thank you
The MSI MPG271QRX is unavailable in the US at this time. But the Gigabyte Aorus F027Q3 is available. The specs look about the same. Any thoughts or info on that model?
Will you do a 1080p monitors video as well?
How does the XMN compare to the AOC CQ27G3Z 27" Curved Gaming Monitor?, i want a curved monitor with similar specs and you go up to 240 hz but i believe it no longer comes with HDR, nor mini LED, any advice?
Hi, do you plan on reviewing the ktc g27p6?
My LG 27GR83Q has been great. Highly recommend
Still loving my LG GP850-B for gaming, workin, and watching content. Can't go wrong. What I will buy next as a second screen is something else though...may buy another of the same, may not....=D
Dell Alienwar 27 AW2723DF, Xiaomi redmi g pro 27 - are these monitors worth considering?
Did u check out from lenovo my friend? They seems making the r27q-30 for true hdr monitor and y27qf-30 to put on budget fast monitor for future reference tho
I wish AW2725DF & MPG 271QRX were on amazon. The former doesn't show up *at all* and the latter has been out of stock since at least April 11
Is the aoc q27g3xmn good for ps5? I play games like apex and love single player games so the visuals are also important.
What do you think about Alienware aw2723df ?
What about LG 27GS95QE? Why you don't speak of it at all?
I find some review said quite positive about Gigabyte G27Q that are in the same price point as MSI G27QPF-QD. Unfortunately, in my country we only have G27QPF version that don’t have QD.
What about the Alienware AW3423DWF( or Philips Evnia same panel)? Sure it's only 165hz and ultrawide(and gen 1 panel, but I could get one refurbished one for ~£600?) Oled monitors are expensive in the UK, Q27G3XMN is basically nonexistent. One place had it for £350 -ish, Amazon had couple units for £450-480)
Can you let me know what you think of the lg gp850-b ? I just picked one up for $250. I’m a ps5 player
Steve please help me, dell alienwarew 360hz or ASUS pg24qdn 240hz??' let alone the hertz difference.
Is there a good analog to AOC G27G3XMN in HDR quality but IPS?
any recomendations for 32” 1440p? It is meant for triple 32” racing setup, thx a lot
I'm overwhelmed with the amount of different options there is...
I got my new PC (R7 7700X, RTX 4080, DDR5) for almost a year now and I'm still playing (FPS) games on my 27" 1080p 75Hz monitor lol.
I'm interested in buying a 27" 1440p 165 - 240Hz Monitor with a max. Budget of $350 if it's even possible with a good panel but I'm still new to all this.
What would you guys suggest me any tips etc?
The Cooler Master GP2712 should shake things up in the 1440p high refresh category. VA LCD, 240hz, 2034 zone miniled backlight and an MSRP of $549. It is slated to come out H2 2024.
Will have to see how the response times compare to the excellent Odyssey g6
Let's hope they dont botch their firmware again like the GP27Q
that would be godlike
VA = ASS, it will not be a real 240Hz experience due to how slow VA panels are
@@shanksisnoteventhatstrongbruh It really depends on what your use case is. If you are mainly playing multiplayer fps, it wouldn't be wise to get a va panel. But ips also has its drawbacks. The bluish grey cloudy blacks they offer in dark games can be unacceptable, too. Trust me i made that mistake and got a LG 27GP850-b with the worst contrast imaginable 800:1. Now Im struggling to sell it and am stuck with it, because i seldom play multiplayer games least of all shooters and hate the contrast for movies/single player games.
I had the AOC G27G3XMN, made it a month and a half before the screen started flickering randomly.
MSI
MAG 275CQRXF 27 inch, Quad HD, 250Hz, Rapid VA, 1ms is this monitor any good
is the Alienware AW2723DF a consideration? it's a 280hz IPS
(edit) it's actually capable of 280 hz overclocked. on sale for $450 right now too
I have been looking for months for a 1440p 240/360hz non-oled monitor that is actually available for purchase in Germany. I had an M27Q-X for a week or so, but it had bad issues with dead pixels, and looking at reviews online this is not a rare occurence. Any other recommendations?
No recommendation for the PG27AQDM? I thought this monitor was the best of the best.
I bought a aw3423dwf cause you praised it so much and i dont regret it. I literally only buy monitors your recommend, thank you for your hard work!
We bought same one and everyone who uses it loves it. We only use in HDR400 mode too.
@@runany1im running it on 7900xtx not sure how hdr will work with amd gpu but ill try it. Thank you
@@03Edgar we have ours on 7900xt and works great more of a issue in lower games. It’s a beast of computer.
My country Philippines offers an additional store cost of 100 dollars for the aoc 3xmn but free delivery. Is it still worth it?
You highly recommend the AOC Q27G3XMN , but there will be major problems actually finding one. Have you any secondary recommendations for this type?
the section immediately following that recommendation will satisfy your needs. There really aren't other options for cheap, good, high refresh rate HDR currently, which is why that monitor is particularly wild.
@@Daishi0861 thank you. I have watched the rest but the prices rise as well. £380 approx is what I can get it for here atm
@@Daishi0861 I have a 2070 super. What comes first? a new monitor or a grafix card . Running at 1080 atm

Should I get the Acer Nitro XV5 instead of the AOC if it is way cheaper here? 160€ less
~2 years back I bought Dell S2721DGFA for my dad as xmas present it is perfect IMHO
Now my old monitor will need changing and so I am back looking though I would take S2721DGFA if they were available..
So I am now looking again, but I will not be getting VA panel, its not like that AOC is available anyway, so I guess its one of the MSI time, probably G274QPF.. but checking rtings review, I am bit worried about lowest brightness MSI got 80 vs Dell 35, and I am one of those who like to have option to go low... to not feel like looking in to lightbulb
is Alienware AW2723DF 27 better than these monitors? is it worth it?
I just bought the MSI G274QPF however mine does not show anywhere the -QD as in G274QPF-QD. When I use the Amazon link provided it does link to the -QD model but it also shows I just purchased this one. The Bar Code label does not show the additional -QD nor does the -QD show on the back of the monitor itself. Now I am wondering if perhaps Amazon may have this specific model cross listed incorrectly? non -QD vs -QD model. If it exists.
I actually was purchasing, what I thought, was another MAG274QRF-QD to have a matched set on my desktop. I did not notice until I received it it was not the same model. Not sure how I missed it.
what do you mean by the aoc backlight zone flickering?
hey steve can you please review the new 1440p ips monitor out there. AUS XG27ACS Lenovo r27q-30 and the budget firendy koorui 27e3qk please
