    Glad to see the LG 27GR83Q getting the MUB seal of approval! I bought it around a month ago, which felt like a bit of a gamble because there weren't many reviews on it. Going from a garbage tier 15 inch 1080 60hz laptop display to this thing has been an absolute game changer.

      It's crazy to me that people still haven't upgraded. I got a 1440p monitor back when the 1070 came out, so like 7 years ago. I get it though, not everybody wants to do it, as it makes everything harder to run, but it's such a nice upgrade in clarity.

    I'm looking forward for your review of the DELL G2724D. According to RTINGS tests it (slightly) outperforms the M27Q-P both in motion and color performance at a lesser price. It's a really good deal expecially here in europe where the prices of Gigabyte and MSI alternatives are much higher

      if the price makes sense and you can find it in stock (considering it was discontinued) I'd still recommend the s2721dgfa.
      G2724D is supposed to be the "new" s2721dgfa but it doesn't have the same features, it's definitely more of a budget monitor, ever so slightly, in terms of features.
      But of course all of this depends on availability, price, what you're looking in a monitor etc

      I’ve got the Dell G2724D and I game on PS5. I really wouldn’t bother paying more money on other 1440p monitors, unless you want OLED and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, which the doesn’t really make a difference on console, but I’m unsure if the bandwidth makes a difference on PC. That’s the 2.1 bandwidth I’m referring to that doesn’t make much difference on console, but of course OLED does
      The Dell has HDMI 2.1 but it has the lower 24Gbps bandwidth instead of the higher 48Gbps, but it works perfect for VRR on the PS5
      It has DisplayHDR 400, which is good brightness with 400 cd/m2 and peak brightness 450 cd/m2 and although it isn’t true HDR because it isn’t OLED, it still has good HDR modes with different brightness levels
      It also has almost zero ghosting even in extreme response time mode
      It retails for £279, but I was lucky I saw it on sale for £209 on Dell website and grabbed it
      Seriously, just to have a couple of extra small features that won’t make much difference at all in gaming, it’s not worth paying almost £100 more on other 1440p monitors like Gigabyte and MSI and it’s going to be very similar resolution quality as they’re all 1440p
      There isn’t any other 1440p monitor out there with HDMI 2.1 for that price and all the other gaming options are very similar on majority of the 1440p monitors

    Worth noting that the old M27Q is being slowly phased out here in Europe and the M27Q v2.0 is sold in its place. It's much closer to the M27Q-P and has an RGB sub-pixel layout instead of BGR. Considering the M27Q-P is next to impossible to find here, the 2.0 version (generally advertised as 165Hz instead of 170Hz but they can still go to 170Hz no problem) is a good consideration.

Has RGB subpixel, KVM works great for wfh, does 170Hz, I can't notice any obvious motion or inverse motion blur. Great monitor and I'm really happy with it.

    About 1 year ago, I picked up the Gigabyte M32QC on sale from Newegg for around US$250. It's ridiculous the prices that they are going for now. With that said, I've been happy with my choice. I went with it because it is the VA panel and not the IPS one. I wanted the better contrast rate and blacks of the VA panel. I did have one issue with it. One of our cats took a header right into the panel, when something spooked her as she slept on my lap. It caused a black blob to appear at the bottom of the screen. Gigabyte fixed it with no questions asked. They even professionally color calibrated the replacement panel. From when I shipped it, the total turnaround was about 2 weeks.

      @@Novskyy621 Good point about narrow vision being better in some types of games. My 32" screen actually has a 27" bordered mode for that reason, running at a custom resolution to keep the pixel mapping 1:1 of course. Some players even use 4:3 aspect ratio and that's supported, too.
      My comment and this video are about 1440p at 32" not 4k. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
      I personally find the size of UI elements is so cosy and the sharpness of modern IPS is so good that peripheral vision is enough to get the key information from edge-of-vision HUD elements. Rev counter, compass, damage readout, event notifications, etc. But the games I play are quite slow-paced so this won't be true in some titles.

    In my case, I work from home, so I use my computer during the day to look at spreadsheets, reports, code, have a chat window all the time, etc. (and other burn-in activities), hence why I'm hesitant with OLED, but as soon as I clock out, I may have a gaming session where I would love to get as much as frames and colors as I can get.

(Hell, right now I have a 1080p TN panel 60hz at around 70$ which I bought in 2011, only now i'm looking for a new one in the range of 700$)
      And I know you want to defend your pick and say 1 of 2 things:
      1. Burn in is user error. They used the monitor wrong. Didn't turn display off every 4hr for pixel refresh, or using it as a monitor is fundamentally stupid and you're an idiot for buying OLED for your use case.
      2. Burn in doesn't happen. I have my display and it doesn't burn in. Because I didn't get burn in, your experience is invalid and I'm going to keep talking about how I don't have burn in. OLED is the best! Stop worrying about burn in you idiot.
      But you can not ignore the basic physics of how oled functions. Burn-in is absolutely an issue and especially in the windows environment where programs have a ton of static elements. An OLED monitor will be great for media and gaming consumption but should be avoided for hours of daily web browsing and productivity. So it comes down to your use and knowing what you're getting into.
      For all the people that say just don't worry about it, they must have the luxury of ignoring what happens when a $1000 monitor gets burnt in scroll bars and browser header or it has burnt the rest of the pixels to match to the point the brightness is very low. I would say if you're going OLED and intend to use it 8-12 hours daily be prepared to trash it in five years.

    The upper end Samsung VA monitors, including the G7 are basically the only VA monitors that are virtually smearing free and despite being 3 year old VA monitor, it still has top tier motion clarity for 1440p 240Hz LCD panels. In terms of brightness and color specs it's still on par with other 1440p 240Hz options too, and it _does_ come with the extra contrast from being a VA panel. Even with the rudimentary edge lit local dimming, HDR looks passable. Not great, but better than nothing. Even if it's getting old, I wouldn't discount it as an option, especially since you can frequently find it on sale for 399€ or your equivalent.

      It is. There are way more local dimming lcd options available today, even in the sub 400$ range. MonitorsUnboxed just doesn't do videos on them

    Hey Tim, can you do a review on BenQ Mobiuz EX270QM 1440p Gaming Monitor? I'm thinking about buying it but I don't know what is good about it or the flaws this monitor has so it would be great if you could do a review on it.

    would like to know how 27GP850P-B stacks up against these. ITs a refresh of the older 27GP850-B from what i understand.

    I’m hesitating between the 27GR93U and the 27GR83Q and the gigabyte m27U for console games (x|x),especially fast fps games like cod so what do u think should I chose between these three?

    Please review wide monitors, i.,e 3440x1440 monitors. I want to buy one, but I'm not sure which one to buy.

    Recently Asus started selling their TUF VG27AQML1A in my country (Malaysia). I can't seem to find much review about this monitor especially inspecting its pixel response in detail.

      I got this one 2 weeks ago and while I have no equipment to measure anything it seems amazing. Much cheaper than the comparable M27Q X with same or even better motion clarity.

    I love your videos, but sadly most monitors i'm interested in, aren't available in Europe.
