Can’t say the ASUS is S tier for 2 reasons no DP 2.1 for future graphics cards and it’s ASUS, so that 3-year warranty might as well just be written on a wet toilet paper 😂 My pick is FO32U2P

@TheMadGamersTMG i dont know about the g6, but the it being 27inchs is a bummer. The g8 32inch is amazing. Colors r great, hdr, 240hz. I guess g6 being 360hz makes it a better competitive monitor. But g8 also has a 0.3 refresh rate and its true 4k.
@TheMadGamersTMG on amazon a lot of people r having issues with it, but not me. I guess i am lucky. Nothing to complain about, because most of the issues r something i got used to. Everytime u turn it off it will do a hdr/oled reset and it takes 10 mins. But thats only if u turn it off via remote. I just turn off my power brick. It jiggles a lot because the stand isnt the best. But i dont notice it anymore. Sometimes bixby will appear out of nowhere due to the remote having an mic option. Disabled it. Notifications take forever to go away so i press back on remote to get rid of them.

Cool video however, this guy is clearly a display fanatic and has lost some perspective from a lot/the majority of buyers - at least thats my small opinion. I've put over 200 hours into the LG 32GS95UE, after upgrading from a budget/mid 1440p 144hz monitor - which I think lots of these buyers will be upgrading from. I was honestly blown away with the monitor, 4k looks amazing and 240hz is a somewhat noticeable difference compared with 144hz... But the difference from 240hz to 480hz was wayyy more than I was expecting. Honestly feels like 75hz to 120hz. I play a lot of competitive games (cs2, overwatch, R6 etc) so this difference is very welcomed. I agree that this would only give you a very small advantage, but the overall feel is better. I've often found myself double checking I was in 240hz mode, after long gaming sessions in 480hz, as 240hz felt 'laggy' and thought I may have been lower... but no. Highly recommend this monitor for you sweaty gamers. Now I rarely use hdr in games or video and this isn't something I really care about tbh, so I can understand his points about colour brightness if you want this monitor for that. The deep blacks with WOLED are brilliant, and I haven't had any complaints with the colour, everything looks good to my eyes. A big surprise, coming from an IPS monitor, was text clarity. I know QD-OLED is even worse but I thought the WOLED would've been better than it is - text just seems a bit more smudged than it should be, but you soon get use to it and isn't a problem after some time - but definitely should be noted. Now luckily I got this monitor with some discount codes for £950 direct from LG, and think this is probably an ideal price for it - as I personally don't believe its RRP of £1300 is worth it. So make sure you find some discount codes, or maybe check with your employer for any reward schemes. All in all, if your a competitive gamer who scales down res/quality for more FPS you'll love this monitor - literally a 2 in 1. I guess if your a monitor nerd (for a lack of a better term) wanting the best colour experience with all the best features and only plays casual games etc... yeah buy something else. *edit: forgot to mention about the matt coating - it's literally fine. I'm assuming most of us live in houses with windows and hate looking into a mirror when we want to see a computer screen - so I'd happily take a matt screen over looking at my ugly mug.
I think this review is missing the point of the LG. In my eyes, it is a jack of all traits, which does lots of things really well, but not the best at anything. Which is for me quite compelling. Often when buying monitors I have to chose what I want to prioritize: high refresh rate for my CS2? Great color reproduction for my 4K gaming and work (I'm a designer). If I want that color reproduction, this ain't the monitor, if I want that high-refresh rate, this ain't the monitor, if I want both and am ok with compromising slightly on each end, this is absolutely the monitor! On the mate vs glossy. I agree that glossy is better, and I do wish this monitor had a glossy version of it. I do have a light controlled room though, so that would be my preference.
As someone who doesn't live in a pitch black cave or my mothers basement I prefer the matt coating on the LG, otherwise I'd be looking at the purple blacks from the QDoleds. Waaaaaay better.
I have a stupid question. how much brightness do you put on your ASUS ROG screen, in this case the PG32CDM if you had one... or another Asus ROG screen whatever. Whether for games or classic internet browsing. I put everything to the max but it tires me. thank you for your answers
I write this on every video: the dell is hundreds of pounds cheaper than everything else in most places. I got it for £850. Some of the others are £1500.
I had it and legit tried it for 40 minutes before I boxed it up and returned to Best Buy. It had maybe THREE picture mode settings to adjust, is TizenOS, but worse and less customizable than their TVs, and input switching took forever on it. Terrible implementation of "smart features" made it legitimately unusable and not even for $200 would I bother buying it.
I've had it for a month. Fantastic monitor. I use it a lot to watch sports in the background without switching on my pc. It's also easily the best looking monitor of the bunch. I'd still rather it was glossy, but the matte does a better job with the purple tinge issue known in QD OLED and I got it for a killer price.
I've had issues with MSI warranty on an x299 motherboard. Have they gotten better? I love Dell(Alienware) warranty. They will cross ship you one and you use the box to return the other.
If they are planning on upgrading next year.. brightness and coating to avoid the purple for QD has to be the fokus. What else is there if they have to get people to look at the year’s releases?
What do you think of the samsung ark gen2. I'm using a pc with a ryzen 9 7950x3d, 4090 gamers oc edition and 7200 2x24gb titanium dominator ram. I almost got the odyssey g8 oled. I'll be in a dark room so I think with sdr or her with the brightness settings on low as possible especially the back light in the screen to get better black but still good colors.
Asus should be in F tier honestly. It's a great monitor, but pricier and Asus will NOT have your back if something happens because their warranty and support side is scum.
idk why people are so upset about getting into "B" tier. all these monitors are considered as S~Atier monitors. they all have similar performance. i guess the only difference will be the customization and extra features they have. my next concern will be warranty reliability, extra features in performance improvement and price during black friday
guys, matte isnt that bad at all i using G80SD for 2 months now and decide to keep it. the black is so so so good compare to any matte screen i have used before in the other hand, i prefer glossy panel for TV. i cant using monitor that always reflection like a mirror -_- distract me as F anw, your money, your choice. but this time i think matte panel has a very big step to reach perfection lol
I don't even own the LG but you are just spreading misinformation at this point. Matte has its use cases and its better in some instances than QD-OLED.
Matte sucks on the LG and on the samsung. Oled screens should NOT have a matte screen no matter what the situation is because it takes away from the sharpness and quality of the picture coming off the screen
Exactly this guy is trippin so hard on the lg woled I just got it after returning the glossy msi monitor and it’s just as good obviously if u play on it with ur face glued to the screen then u might notice something but that’s just not realistic
@Irreluhvant the LG is def not as good as the MSI. The MSI has more details, sharper picture quality. They are both nice but no oled should have a matte coating. It doesn't make sense.
The Asus PG32UCDM performs worse than the MSI 321URX if you do the comparison on RTINGS, particularly color accuracy. The MSI can also peak >1000 nits and has various FW updates. Additionally, the Asus is $1000 AUD more than the 321URX here in Aus, hence being a rip-off. So, why is it S-Tier?
Lol in Europe, the MSI 321URX (1400€) costs like 400 Euros more than the MSI 321UPX (~1000€). Asus 1500€ Lg around 1400€ Samsung with Discount Code 930€ None of them is 400-500€ better than the Samsung even with matte
Personally i think both the asus and gigabyte P model should be S as they're the only two with extra features people could want. The others are basically the exact same just without dp2.1 and dolby vision / BFI
Just want to point out I bought the Alienware recently and it does not come with the latest firmware, you have to update it. I own the lg and the Alienware and I have to say the AW looks better but I wouldn’t say the lg is bad, the speakers are very decent for a monitor though not compared to an studio display sound. The AW doesn’t have sound so for me that’s a drawback as I don’t like to have my headphones on all the time I’d also like to know why the asus is the best compared to the A tier, every monitor here is plastic so material quality is kinda ass regardless, and besides dp 2.1 or having a 90-100 charger (which unless you have a MacBook is kinda pointless in a gaming monitor), why does that one has the edge? Is the image quality that good?
Couldn't agree more about the gloss, I hate matte monitors. I was in Microcenter the other day and they seemed to have all matte monitors out. The Apple Studio Display with its ancient tech and glass panel was CRUSHING the image quality of all the other monitors in store, even the OLED thanks to the matte coatings. The image looked way more three dimensional and punchy through the glass panel.
I held onto my hp touchsmart because it had a 1920x1200 glass screen ips display for over 10 years. I couldn't get rid of it. The day I did when I moved and couldn't take it made me sad. But to be honest it was running 4gb of ram and a core 2 duo so their wasn't much point in keeping it around. And glass is super nice because you don't have to be afraid to wipe it down.
dp 2.1 will achive higher refresh rate and 12 bit color whille hdmi 2.1 latest version can do that to 12 bit color it means dolby vision. But On amd card is trash HDR it looks worse vs nvidia dp 1.4
Ummm, if I had to give this tier list a tier list, I'd give it a "D"... Maybe even an "F", if I had the option for it. But in all seriousness, you're focusing way too much on some aspects of these monitors while forgetting the other aspects. Let's start with the PG32UGCM: a couple of issues here is the price and the warranty. We all know ASUS hates honoring their warranty. I also think you really glazed over that price; $1300.00+taxes and fees is really not budget friendly considering just a few of the perks it comes with... And Dolby Vision isn't that much of a selling point on console gaming, either, for how wildly inaccurate it is in gaming. Also, nobody in their right mind would consider dropping money on any of these monitors for a console when consoles are literally built around being used on high-end TVs, such as the LG B, C, and G series. All of that being said, I do like the idea of uniform brightness in HDR and SDR, but that feature does scare away a bit if ASUS doesn't honor its warranty. I'd rank this monitor at high-A tier, assuming ASUS actually honored it's warranty if anything ever went wrong... Otherwise, it's more like an low A-tier. Moving on to the MSI monitors, these guys are great budget high-end monitors that simply belong in B tier for what they offer and do not offer; the cheaper one in low-B tier for it's lack of PD. As for Dell's Alienware monitor... Dude. This guy comes with Dolby Vision and you glossed over that as you valued it??? Like wtf??? Again, it's not that big of a deal, but I'm starting to think that ASUS has you sponsored or something. 😂 Anyway... This monitor also has Dolby Atmos and HDMI 2.1 eARC. What other monitor has that??? Not to mention, Dell actually honors their warranties. I will also say this about it's curved screen: you either love it or hate it, it seems, but it honestly doesn't affect much either way as it's barely a curve, anyway. But the BIG selling point on this guy is the $999.99 price tag... I mean, that's pretty insane given what it has. I just wish it also had built-in KVM and PD. So, I'd have to rate this guy at mid-A tier. Auros is a solid pick like the MSI's, but with a few more features. Honestly, both of them belong in low A-tier for their price to permance. I don't think you're future proofing yourself here as these displays will be upgraded in the future and that DP 2.1 will be seen later on down the road when it becomes actually useful. 😅 As for the LG one... Eh, I agree with you. Matte coatings suck and dual mode is cute, but doesn't really work very well on this monitor. Also the color is trash on this monitor compared to the other ones. This one I'd put at a low-C tier. I can't wait to see its glossy version come out, though. I think it'd make this monitor significantly better. In general, I wouldn't give a single one of these monitors an "S" tier as that spot is reserved for the perfect monitor that has strengths in entertainment, productivity, display, , bells and whistles, and, dare I say, is budget friendly and has a good company to back it up. Of course, all of this absurdly nitpicky, they're all great monitors!
agreed to all tier list. I think matt coating its only for people that cant manage ambient light and for 1080p monitors that can have some "saw" on the edges of things that can be attenuated by the matt coating... maybe even 1440p has a little "saw" in some games, but 4K man, Matt coating in 4k is useless.
I’ve owned the Msi Mpg321urx, Samsung G80SD and the AW32. The G80SD has the most customizable UI out of all the QD-Oleds. I can’t speak to the Lg32 as I’ve never owned that one but as far as brightness , picture quality/customization the G80SD has been my favorite of the 3. If you’d like to see my Reddit reviews/comparisons lmk and I’ll happily send you the link here. But do you have the G80Sd to do a comparison to the Lg32 to compare the matte coatings ? I’m curious on the difference between the two. Appreciate it
I had the aw for a weekend and vrr flickering is horrible in cyberpunk. Rtings reviewed the msi and give them by far the best rating for vrr flickering. Did you test vrr flickering on these too and can confirm this? It’s a higher thing for me
@@joaquinarchivaldoguzmanloe1073 Use a microfiber cloth and a little water on a corner of the cloth. Wet the smudge with the wet side and then wipe off with the dry side. Make sure to be gentle when wiping the monitor.
I wish you all would do a "27in 4k" best list because it's hard as crap for me to find one.... 1ms, 144hz+, DisplayHDR 1000, and clear as heck text if an OLED. I don't know why 32in is the "standard" because it's just too huge for most desks, including less "quality", more power required for 4k, thus less performance etc. Harder to see everything if gaming. I just don't understand it.
The reason is because of pixel density or PPI as it’s called. 32 inch oled monitors show a more clear picture and display of color while 27 inches tends to smoosh the colors and text together. It is possible they release mini oleds in 2025 but as of now the tech is not quite there to match up to quality of 32 inch oled 4k screens
I would’ve believed you didn’t have a bias if you would’ve did comparisons to explain your issues with the LG. I wouldn’t believe any of these monitors are D tier. That’s hard to believe. I’ve seen other reviews that were comparing the Asus to this monitor and they were showing the issues with the Asus that the LG didn’t have.
There’s over 200 million people out there using consoles at 60fps and the one you out in s-tier, the asus, have absolutely terrible input lag at 23ms when using 60fps. Blows my mind how you dont mention this. The other monitors at the same price range have around 10ms or less. An extra 13ms is very noticeable if your an experienced gamer. An absolute no no for me to a monitor with 23ms input and dont say a single thing about it. Are you supposed to be a proffesional monitor reviewer but dont mention on the most important stats when buying a monitor or a tv for gaming which is the input lag. The msi mpg 321urx cannot be below asus in a ranking when it has 13ms lower input lag. 13 extra ms of input lag is very noticeable
Gigabyte FO32U2P S for me got the Alienware one too, just isnt that good. tried all the other ones and returned them. The U2P I use all the time now, Loving it! Price aside i think so far its the best one (cant wait to fully use the full capabilities with the 5000 series
I went with the 32 inch Samsung g80 for my dual stacked monitor above my 34 inch Samsung g8 ultra curve. Both are great. I feel the g80 is very colorful though in hdr. Maybe it’s my settings. But I love both monitors Just hate how the remotes sync
The display of the 32GS95UE is awful. I’ve been using LG IPS displays for years and was excited to use it. Build quality is great, speakers sounded good. It was my first OLED monitor. I was on the current latest firmware and the black crush was obnoxious along with the awful uniformity and color banding. It was so awful I was going to go back to an IPS display. Then read a technical article explaining how QD-OLED’s technology resolved the black crush issue of WOLED. Picked up the 3225QWF and couldn’t be happier. Main reason I purchased the Alienware was due to Dolby Vision/earc and their fantastic warranty. The plastic is crappy and it cracks and pops often due to the expanding and contracting but it’s worth it for the hassle free warranty.
AW3225QF owner here. It's not S tier but I'm happy with it. Bought it open box for 1100 CAD, can't complain. Would have loved the MSI MPG321 but no open box available so was much more expensive.
@ghinochips5842 that's what I'm thinking of getting next is the lg oled. I got the samsung ark gen2 downstairs and the koorui 1440p 170hz 27 monitor for upstairs as well as my 70 4k at 60hz.
@ghinochips5842 the one with the feature that you can do 400hz at 1080p or 240hz in 4k. Either that or two g9's stacked. If put the top one upside down because there's no top bezal so it'd be more seamless look.
@@nickargeny8467 I can't say anything about g9. never seen it... but because of LG I would wait for asus 32 pg32ucdp (p version = LG panel). Makes many things better and is even brighter. I'm waiting for availability and a good deal 
i'm gonna give it another few years till the 6090 comes out. DP 2.1 is still in its infancy and graphics cards still can't play native 4k at 100+ for all games
My 4090 + 9800x3d can display quite a few games above 120 fps at ultra settings. Hence why I might have to go gigabyte and trade in this beautiful msi oled.
Pg ucdm is garbage! Unbearable flickering all day, Constantly shuts off even with sensor off multiple times a day. Picture distortion at least once per day. All drivers up to date and a clean reinstall. 3 dp cables tested. All rog build 4090, 14900k, 990 pro, 1200 plat thor
Glad to see the asus one on S tier since it's the one I bought, even though I was really tempted to wait for the gigabyte one to use my precious display port 2.1 since I use a 7900xtx. It's been great so far though, no complaints
My only complaint is hdr1000 is washed out and dim as hell. Considering the gigabyte bc it’s vesa certified hdr and has dp 2.1. The picture on this msi is otherwise beautiful
@@gerbermw Yeah lol, unfortunately Samsung voltage limited the QD panels :/ Both Gigabyte and ASUS got around it and made a combo P1000 / TB400. But the EOTF tracking is pre bad, but the HDR is definitely better in these modes.
Let’s see… bad HDR on all of these monitors compared to OLED TVs. Purple tint on QD-OLED blacks if you don’t live in your mom’s basement, which literally goes against the point of OLED. Horrible gaming aesthetics. Semi-glossy coating being extremely fragile. Matte still being matte, but this circle jerk hate is blown out of proportion because these “glossy” finishes are a joke compared to actual glossy monitors like Apple’s Studio or an LG TV. Tbf none of these are end game monitors. If I were to rank them, they’d be identical since they all have flaws in some way.

*edit: forgot to mention about the matt coating - it's literally fine. I'm assuming most of us live in houses with windows and hate looking into a mirror when we want to see a computer screen - so I'd happily take a matt screen over looking at my ugly mug.

matte on OLED is indeed meh though.
OLED's strength with the contrast and nice popping out colors and then you destroy it with matte? xD

the lg has a crazy good antiglare. love it
I think this review is missing the point of the LG. In my eyes, it is a jack of all traits, which does lots of things really well, but not the best at anything. Which is for me quite compelling.
Often when buying monitors I have to chose what I want to prioritize: high refresh rate for my CS2? Great color reproduction for my 4K gaming and work (I'm a designer).
If I want that color reproduction, this ain't the monitor, if I want that high-refresh rate, this ain't the monitor, if I want both and am ok with compromising slightly on each end, this is absolutely the monitor!
On the mate vs glossy. I agree that glossy is better, and I do wish this monitor had a glossy version of it. I do have a light controlled room though, so that would be my preference.
Which would be best for ps5 or just console in general?
These are overkill for console. Best to buy an oled 1080p monitor for near half the price.
@@raze_6474which one is the best for gigabyte 4080 super?

It had maybe THREE picture mode settings to adjust, is TizenOS, but worse and less customizable than their TVs, and input switching took forever on it. Terrible implementation of "smart features" made it legitimately unusable and not even for $200 would I bother buying it.

Correct me if im wrong but the MSI321URX (A tier) DOES indeed support PiP/PBP. Your description says it does not? Can you verify please?
As a current owner it does but only when DSC is turned off
how about asus PG32UCDP, is it good ???
At that price range what's the difference with just getting an oled tv with similar performance?
I've had issues with MSI warranty on an x299 motherboard. Have they gotten better? I love Dell(Alienware) warranty. They will cross ship you one and you use the box to return the other.
Will you compare the ROG Swift OLED PG32UDCP too?
If they are planning on upgrading next year.. brightness and coating to avoid the purple for QD has to be the fokus. What else is there if they have to get people to look at the year’s releases?
Are the prices in NA before or after taxes?
What do you think of the samsung ark gen2. I'm using a pc with a ryzen 9 7950x3d, 4090 gamers oc edition and 7200 2x24gb titanium dominator ram. I almost got the odyssey g8 oled. I'll be in a dark room so I think with sdr or her with the brightness settings on low as possible especially the back light in the screen to get better black but still good colors.
Asus should be in F tier honestly. It's a great monitor, but pricier and Asus will NOT have your back if something happens because their warranty and support side is scum.

idk why people are so upset about getting into "B" tier. all these monitors are considered as S~Atier monitors. they all have similar performance. i guess the only difference will be the customization and extra features they have. my next concern will be warranty reliability, extra features in performance improvement and price during black friday

I don't even own the LG but you are just spreading misinformation at this point. Matte has its use cases and its better in some instances than QD-OLED.
Matte sucks on the LG and on the samsung. Oled screens should NOT have a matte screen no matter what the situation is because it takes away from the sharpness and quality of the picture coming off the screen
Exactly. If you're not in the batcave or if you want your monitor to last more than 4 years, then WOLED is better.
Exactly this guy is trippin so hard on the lg woled I just got it after returning the glossy msi monitor and it’s just as good obviously if u play on it with ur face glued to the screen then u might notice something but that’s just not realistic
@@ryanbrowning5586Samsung matte is actually not bad.
@Irreluhvant the LG is def not as good as the MSI. The MSI has more details, sharper picture quality. They are both nice but no oled should have a matte coating. It doesn't make sense.
The Asus PG32UCDM performs worse than the MSI 321URX if you do the comparison on RTINGS, particularly color accuracy. The MSI can also peak >1000 nits and has various FW updates. Additionally, the Asus is $1000 AUD more than the 321URX here in Aus, hence being a rip-off. So, why is it S-Tier?
The LG monitor is phenomenal actually. Bro doesn't know what he is saying.. 24k subs makes sense ngl

why should the asus monitor be S tier when it doesnt have DP 2.1 compared to the Aorus monitor
Personally i think both the asus and gigabyte P model should be S as they're the only two with extra features people could want. The others are basically the exact same just without dp2.1 and dolby vision / BFI
Qd difference between brands are minimal to notice. So price decides the rank atm, until a brand able to buff the brightness.
Thank you for the video, I consider you an authority figure when watching your monitoring videos
Just want to point out I bought the Alienware recently and it does not come with the latest firmware, you have to update it.
I own the lg and the Alienware and I have to say the AW looks better but I wouldn’t say the lg is bad, the speakers are very decent for a monitor though not compared to an studio display sound. The AW doesn’t have sound so for me that’s a drawback as I don’t like to have my headphones on all the time
I’d also like to know why the asus is the best compared to the A tier, every monitor here is plastic so material quality is kinda ass regardless, and besides dp 2.1 or having a 90-100 charger (which unless you have a MacBook is kinda pointless in a gaming monitor), why does that one has the edge? Is the image quality that good?
I got mine a couple weeks ago and it came with the latest firmware and protective film.
What is the game at 5:08?
I think it's Fortnite
Couldn't agree more about the gloss, I hate matte monitors. I was in Microcenter the other day and they seemed to have all matte monitors out. The Apple Studio Display with its ancient tech and glass panel was CRUSHING the image quality of all the other monitors in store, even the OLED thanks to the matte coatings. The image looked way more three dimensional and punchy through the glass panel.
I held onto my hp touchsmart because it had a 1920x1200 glass screen ips display for over 10 years. I couldn't get rid of it. The day I did when I moved and couldn't take it made me sad. But to be honest it was running 4gb of ram and a core 2 duo so their wasn't much point in keeping it around. And glass is super nice because you don't have to be afraid to wipe it down.
I hope you get MSI MEG version soon I want to see how they did their 2.1 DP
no need for dp 2.1 u can have hdmi latest version and all monitors can run 12 bit color it means dolby vision.
where is samsung ?
Use tiny brain and there are your answer
Still waiting for something like a QD-OLED similar to these in a 49" size with the full 2160 resolution and DP 2.1. Dream monitor.
dp 2.1 will achive higher refresh rate and 12 bit color whille hdmi 2.1 latest version can do that to 12 bit color it means dolby vision. But On amd card is trash HDR it looks worse vs nvidia dp 1.4
Ummm, if I had to give this tier list a tier list, I'd give it a "D"... Maybe even an "F", if I had the option for it.
But in all seriousness, you're focusing way too much on some aspects of these monitors while forgetting the other aspects.
Let's start with the PG32UGCM: a couple of issues here is the price and the warranty. We all know ASUS hates honoring their warranty. I also think you really glazed over that price; $1300.00+taxes and fees is really not budget friendly considering just a few of the perks it comes with... And Dolby Vision isn't that much of a selling point on console gaming, either, for how wildly inaccurate it is in gaming. Also, nobody in their right mind would consider dropping money on any of these monitors for a console when consoles are literally built around being used on high-end TVs, such as the LG B, C, and G series. All of that being said, I do like the idea of uniform brightness in HDR and SDR, but that feature does scare away a bit if ASUS doesn't honor its warranty. I'd rank this monitor at high-A tier, assuming ASUS actually honored it's warranty if anything ever went wrong... Otherwise, it's more like an low A-tier.
Moving on to the MSI monitors, these guys are great budget high-end monitors that simply belong in B tier for what they offer and do not offer; the cheaper one in low-B tier for it's lack of PD.
As for Dell's Alienware monitor... Dude. This guy comes with Dolby Vision and you glossed over that as you valued it??? Like wtf??? Again, it's not that big of a deal, but I'm starting to think that ASUS has you sponsored or something. 😂 Anyway... This monitor also has Dolby Atmos and HDMI 2.1 eARC. What other monitor has that??? Not to mention, Dell actually honors their warranties. I will also say this about it's curved screen: you either love it or hate it, it seems, but it honestly doesn't affect much either way as it's barely a curve, anyway. But the BIG selling point on this guy is the $999.99 price tag... I mean, that's pretty insane given what it has. I just wish it also had built-in KVM and PD. So, I'd have to rate this guy at mid-A tier.
Auros is a solid pick like the MSI's, but with a few more features. Honestly, both of them belong in low A-tier for their price to permance. I don't think you're future proofing yourself here as these displays will be upgraded in the future and that DP 2.1 will be seen later on down the road when it becomes actually useful. 😅
As for the LG one... Eh, I agree with you. Matte coatings suck and dual mode is cute, but doesn't really work very well on this monitor. Also the color is trash on this monitor compared to the other ones. This one I'd put at a low-C tier. I can't wait to see its glossy version come out, though. I think it'd make this monitor significantly better.
In general, I wouldn't give a single one of these monitors an "S" tier as that spot is reserved for the perfect monitor that has strengths in entertainment, productivity, display, , bells and whistles, and, dare I say, is budget friendly and has a good company to back it up. Of course, all of this absurdly nitpicky, they're all great monitors!
thoughts on the Samsung Odyssey G80SD?
agreed to all tier list.
I think matt coating its only for people that cant manage ambient light and for 1080p monitors that can have some "saw" on the edges of things that can be
attenuated by the matt coating... maybe even 1440p has a little "saw" in some games, but 4K man, Matt coating in 4k is useless.

I’ve owned the Msi Mpg321urx, Samsung G80SD and the AW32. The G80SD has the most customizable UI out of all the QD-Oleds.

Lagless KVM ?
I wish you all would do a "27in 4k" best list because it's hard as crap for me to find one.... 1ms, 144hz+, DisplayHDR 1000, and clear as heck text if an OLED.
I don't know why 32in is the "standard" because it's just too huge for most desks, including less "quality", more power required for 4k, thus less performance etc. Harder to see everything if gaming. I just don't understand it.
The reason is because of pixel density or PPI as it’s called. 32 inch oled monitors show a more clear picture and display of color while 27 inches tends to smoosh the colors and text together. It is possible they release mini oleds in 2025 but as of now the tech is not quite there to match up to quality of 32 inch oled 4k screens
I would’ve believed you didn’t have a bias if you would’ve did comparisons to explain your issues with the LG. I wouldn’t believe any of these monitors are D tier. That’s hard to believe. I’ve seen other reviews that were comparing the Asus to this monitor and they were showing the issues with the Asus that the LG didn’t have.
There’s over 200 million people out there using consoles at 60fps and the one you out in s-tier, the asus, have absolutely terrible input lag at 23ms when using 60fps. Blows my mind how you dont mention this. The other monitors at the same price range have around 10ms or less. An extra 13ms is very noticeable if your an experienced gamer. An absolute no no for me to a monitor with 23ms input and dont say a single thing about it. Are you supposed to be a proffesional monitor reviewer but dont mention on the most important stats when buying a monitor or a tv for gaming which is the input lag. The msi mpg 321urx cannot be below asus in a ranking when it has 13ms lower input lag. 13 extra ms of input lag is very noticeable
Gigabyte FO32U2P S for me got the Alienware one too, just isnt that good. tried all the other ones and returned them. The U2P I use all the time now, Loving it! Price aside i think so far its the best one (cant wait to fully use the full capabilities with the 5000 series

Please do same video but with IPS 32 inch monitor
The display of the 32GS95UE is awful. I’ve been using LG IPS displays for years and was excited to use it. Build quality is great, speakers sounded good. It was my first OLED monitor. I was on the current latest firmware and the black crush was obnoxious along with the awful uniformity and color banding. It was so awful I was going to go back to an IPS display. Then read a technical article explaining how QD-OLED’s technology resolved the black crush issue of WOLED. Picked up the 3225QWF and couldn’t be happier. Main reason I purchased the Alienware was due to Dolby Vision/earc and their fantastic warranty. The plastic is crappy and it cracks and pops often due to the expanding and contracting but it’s worth it for the hassle free warranty.
how are the speakers from these speakers? All mediocre monitor speakers?
Isn't dolby vision still locked out of windows?

Let’s see… bad HDR on all of these monitors compared to OLED TVs. Purple tint on QD-OLED blacks if you don’t live in your mom’s basement, which literally goes against the point of OLED. Horrible gaming aesthetics. Semi-glossy coating being extremely fragile. Matte still being matte, but this circle jerk hate is blown out of proportion because these “glossy” finishes are a joke compared to actual glossy monitors like Apple’s Studio or an LG TV. Tbf none of these are end game monitors. If I were to rank them, they’d be identical since they all have flaws in some way.
