My lg monitor arrives tomorrow. Ive had a lg cx 77 oled since 2020 and it still is amazing. They essentially innovated oled tech and they make the best most reliable oled panels.
@Davidsixx lg gs3295ue. So far, it's awesome. I ordered a pc for it so I can take full advantage of the high refresh rate. Kinda like the matte coating for a monitor but glossy for TV. It's still pretty bright but not overly, and it's a nice change of pace from the lg oled TVs
I had both Asus models in my gaming room for 2 weeks to test. The QD Oled model and panel from LG. I decided on the WOLED model, even though the matt coating is really not a great thing, you get used to it relatively quickly. But the WOLED model almost always has the perfect black level. The QD OLED model immediately displays gray instead of black when there is little daylight or artificial light. Therefore, for my part, I will not buy a QD OLED until further notice.
Alienware AW3225QF clips everything above brightness 500 to white, so it’s useless even with DV which is mastered to 1000 nits. Unless you run the AW dimmed at HDR400 forever, by which you could’ve gone with a IPS display. - Check it yourself, it’s apparent when using the Windows HDR calibration tool.
One thing that absolutely needs to be done on Microsoft end for Oleds is supporting the sub-pixel layout for texts on both the QD and W Oled so there’s less text fringing, also I think for a new monitor the LG 27GR95QE is quite good as well
The problem with QD-OLED screens (as I have noticed with the Alienware DWF I tried), the panel itself isn't truely black, it has this wierd pink hue to it thats really distracting when your room is not completely blacked out. and it shows on the side-to-side comparison, because the image on the Asus is noticeably redder. Well, ontop of all the weird image clarity, the colour fringing and the vrr flicker issues, that also made me return it after a week. I'll wait and save up for an Ultrawide UHD W-OLED monitor.
How has it been after a month? I'm thinking of getting a 32GS95UE but have seen very mixed feedback on Reddit and YT. How is it and what's the 1080p480Hz mode like?
Asus just released a firmware update to address the lack of brightness in the Console, Gaming and Cinema HDR. It does not fix the lack of full screen brightness though, just the highlight detail. More updates will be needed!
@@PcCentric Very Cool. I just got my PG32UCDM a few days ago and thought it was ODD that the HDR 400 mode looked the best and brightest, according to the ROG forums this is not intentional.
The firmware update didn’t really do anything for highlight detail. See the patch notes. It only fixed brightness of amd cards and the brightness reported to the windows hdr calibration tool which some games (like Jedi Survivor) use but none that let you set the max nit value within the game.
With ASUS shenanigans lately, I could not bring myself to buy their products anymore. So I went with the LG. I have it for 2 weeks now, and I'm a bit conflicted with it. I upgraded from a 27" Acer Predator XB273K and currently have these 2 monitors sitting side by side. The biggest pro for this monitor is its higher refresh rate compared to the 120mhz Predator, which can be overclocked to 144mhz but doing so requires 2 DP cables, and it's very finicky to setup. That's kinda where the pros for this monitor stop at though. The Acer, being LED, has a much more crisp text display, whereas the LG is a bit more blurry. When comparing videos, the Acer's color's are a bit more dull, but the image is more defined when it comes to details. Again, the LG looks a bit blurry, but is a bit brighter in colors; not by much though. When gaming, I will say the LG has the edge here for image clarity. It just seems like this monitor was built for just gaming, nothing else. That's where it seems to excel at. Use for anything else seems redundant, with cheaper alternatives out there. It will work, but staring at it for hours on end on workstation duties will probably begin to strain the eyes. I guess my biggest gripe is the price for what you get when I compared it to my Acer. I feel like I didn't really step up, as I got my Acer for $600 compared to this $1400 ouchy. They need to knock off a least $300 to make it more attractive, and even then I would say it's still $100 over. It's a good monitor, and for me, I rate it 8/10. If you are coming from 1080p or even 1440p you'll see a DRASTIC increase, but when you sidegrade, you'll probably feel like me; a bit disappointed.
We obsess over 4k resolution and Ray tracing but IMO, HDR is underrated. Good HDR on an OLED is glorious and makes ever single frame of a game look gorjuss!
@@TheSavageB I'm gonna buy the LG because I pretty much never play in a dark room. That seems to be the more sensible choice (for me). For others, the QD-OLED might me better.
QD OLED for gaming, personally I'd forget 4K gaming unless you've got very deep pockets. Last year's "gaming monitor of the year" (still gets the thumbs up from Monitors Unboxed in '24) QD OLED QHD 165Hz Alienware AW3423DWF is available at some very good discounts, that brings it within reach for quite a few folks, 2K (3440 × 1440p) Ultrawide, and you'll be able to afford a GPU to make use of that refresh rate. Stunning HDR games and movies have never looked so good. Like most OLED monitors comes with a 3 year burn in warranty. Not the best for regular computer use, but for those of us who only tolerate Windows as something to run your games on and watching movies, especially HDR content nothing else comes close to OLED regardless of resolution.
Eh. You can run DLSS performance on mid range GPUs and still get 60+ fps on most games. Don’t think 4K is all that inaccessible anymore. Besides, most people upgrade their GPUs before their monitors.
I'm sure it will be. I'm planning on getting a 4070 ti super and one of these 4k oleds soon. After watching videos on the 4080 super, looks like it gets between 10-20 more fps depending on game. But I think the 4070 ti super is good enough for now.
You see the white screen dimming as a negative but for me it makes sense as support bright white screens justhurt my eyes, especially at night in a dark room.
Check out Monitors Unboxed review of the LG 32GS95UE, it's quite disappointing compared to the QD-OLEDs. Doesn't even get brighter which was the only real benefit LGs WOLED was supposed to have.
@@ThisIsExile91 Considering to buy an inferior product, picture quality wise, that's more expensive and comes without 3y burn in warranty for a gimmick like 480hz @ 1080p on a 32" panel should be a very tough sell.
The QD-OLED is marginally brighter in a light controlled room. The advantage you are pushing g is insignificant. The QD-OLEDs are inferior in non-light controlled rooms and they almost always add a reddish tint to every image compared to W-OLED. 480hz also allows people to get more out of their cards for longer periods of time as games become more demanding.
@@j.echevarria8630 480hz... at 1080p my guy. As I said, look at the monitor's unboxed review, the brightness really is surprisingly low on the LG monitor. Like 200 nits lower brightness for some 1 - 10% APL scenes. Edit: Actually 300 nits lower brightness in a low APL scene. -25:00 in MUB's LG 32GS95UE review. Not sure what you mean with the reddish tint. Setting up the monitor's color temp and display color space should fix any issues of the colors not looking right for you.
Anti-glare does it for me: 1. I am against gaming at night, because that is for speed; 2. I am against closing all windows or blinds, because you don’t get any air & ventilation in; 3. I won’t bothering cancelling any light source in the room only to minimize all reflections.
so after this, i knew it was going to not blow me away since its the first of its kind. i think in the future we would need more like 600 true blacks 340 Hz but actually i find 32 inch almost a waste of space. 27 inches is still a lot as ur only 3 feet away from the screen anyway. I think if they went with only 27 inches these displays would look better
7:50 Not sure if it is your ring light, but damn the QD look purple when casting a bright light onto it. I knew there would be a slight tint, but not that much. The WOLED, while.matte, looks better in this specific instance.
@@Sala-yo4co No, after I wrote that, you still see the same color shift later on. The purple color shift is a known issue with QD-OLEDs. You can look up some other sources and monitor reviews that mention it.
Yeap, Others has said as well turn up digital vibrance ( 50% to 60% ) which will make the LG standout color wise over the asus one and you wont get the "purple tint" on the glossy screen nor lifted blacks
It looks like the QD-OLED has sort of magenta tint when it's supposed to be black. Does it come out like that IRL too or is it an artifact from the camera?
That’s the draw back of QD-OLED. It doesn’t have a polarizer, so any light that hits it straight on will raise the blacks. If you don’t have good light control in the room you should probably go with WOLED. If you do though, they are great.
@PcCentric After viewing a few side by side reviews on these two panels now, I've noticed that the QD panel appears to have very prominent reds, it looks like even the reflections turn red for some reason. When content shows on screen it's got a red bias, I initially thought it was due to the sub pixel layout having a lager red pixel but I'm starting to think it's the coating that also causes the raised blacks. I can't understand why it's not mentioned at all in reviews and how these screens are more colour accurate than the woled with such a significant red bias. Have you noticed this in person?
QD-OLED is capable of displaying brighter reds. It has quite a bit more color volume across the board actually. The magenta tint you see is actually a quirk of current QD-OLED monitors. Blacks tend to turn a gray magenta when exposed to light. It’s part of the reason why QD-OLEDs are often recommended for dim room environments. WOLEDs actually have better black retention when exposed to ambient light. That being said both perform significantly better in darker environments. Bright rooms diminish the impressiveness of OLED displays.
@@PcCentric Indeed we need calibrations test, but as a fast overlook on them, LG looks way more accurate on gamma than Asus, well, I think that is a downside of glossy coats for those kind of monitors.
I like this out of the box review style. Also like how you stumbled upon a major issue with these qd oled monitors which reviewers seemed to have missed but redditors are clamoring about, and that is how the true black 400 mode seems brighter than the console hdr mode which is supposed to peak at 1000 nits (and does). This is a MAJOR issue imho and apparently affects all qd oled monitors. You can stick with hdr 400 and get a general brighter image (in modest apl scenes) but one that peaks at an anemic 400 nits or you can stick to console hdr and get 1000 nit highlights in very low apl scenes but a dim overall picture with higher apl scenes. You shouldn’t have to pick your poison like that and you don’t have to with qd oled TV’s (or mini led monitors which I think may be the better buy for hdr gaming at this size at the moment).
This has been the case since qd oleds came out dont know why people are shocked now. 1000 is def preferable as 400 over brightens most the image and lacks bright highlights. QD oled tvs as well foce you to use game mode which doesnt look as good imo.
@@rahb2096 game mode only looks worse on woled tvs prior to this year. Qd oled TV’s are objectively the same as outside of game mode as they are in game mode
@@rahb2096 Objectively. Name one qd oled where that isn’t the case and/or cite a reference. Rtings, hdtvtest, classytech, etc. note zero compromised in game mode in qd oleds
@@Keivz huh game mode literally disables most the bells and whistles to lower input lag. That's common knowledge doesn't need to be cited by source kid
@@PcCentric in HDR mode it was way to yellow / orange in terms of colour temp and it locks you out of changing the colour temperature while in HDR mode. It locks up all settings. The LG doesn’t do this. It allows changes.
I feel that too. I have the MSI MPG 321URX which is same panel as ASUS, the HDR colors look too yellow/orange to me. Plus you can't unsee the rised black on the QD-OLED once you noticed it, even in low light. I'm thinking of returning it and buy the LG.
@@Captain-Chatsthat sucks dude because I'm pretty sure you can change that now lol I thought the same thing because I like cool temps...all I did was turn off HDR then changed temps turn HDR back on and it's good. Could be a new firmware is the reason I was able to do that...by the way I have both monitors and they are both great. Asus slightly more vibrant but they both have pro and cons
Been wanting these since the CES demo, but the availabiliy in the UK / EU is a joke, let alone the price difference comparead to the US retailers. Im sticking with my AW3423DWF for the time being.
Recently got a 43" LG C3 OLED to use primarily as a gaming monitor but also for movie/TV consumption. I would've loved one of these for the gaming benefits and the slightly smaller size, but I couldn't get around the lack of home theater features like no Dolby Vision, etc. I'm just as much a home AV enthusiast as I am PC enthusiast so the C3 was a nice meet in the middle for me. And it was only $800, compared to $1200.
Same, just got myself a 42 C3 for my gaming setup. I already have a C2 55, those oleds are really great. The only thing that i'm kinda feeliing like missing on is a higher refresh rate, but those monitors are so expensive compared to the tvs.
watching on my 4k PG27UQ HDR monitor and it looks fantastic though i know these great monitors won't be as bright as mine, darks will be clearer and apt.
I hope 32" 1440p 360Hz is an option in the future. I sit far from my monitor to keep it out of firing range of my studio speakers for music production but also enjoy me a bit of fast paced gaming.
@@DGneoseeker1 that only happens if your window is behind the monitor orbthe light source shines on your face somehow. But most of the time the people have the window in they back (like I do, and there is no way I can change the furniture), so most of the time I really cover the monitor with my body and head to not see the window from begind. Also for my scenario is better a glare type monitor. The mate monitor difusez the light on the entire monitor.
@@mostwanted2000 The window in my case is positioned technically behind and off to one side compared to where the monitor is. And also blocked by the stairs. But I still got horrible reflections off a glossy IPS monitor. No LIGHT reflections. Just FACE reflections. A single light bulb in the computer area up above was enough to cause this.
@@DGneoseeker1 okay, then for your case a mate monitor is better. Buy I don't like how they destroy the color output. If you compare on rtings webiste side by side a mate and a glossy, you will see in the text clarity section the "painted" pixels
@@mostwanted2000 In the videos I've seen comparing the LG WOLED with matte...ish screen vs the ASUS ROG QD-OLED with glossy screen I can't see any real difference in the image except the QD-OLED is pinkish while the WOLED is more blueish. But of course I'm viewing images on 4K monitors via whatever the default youtube resolution is, on a 1440p IPS monitor so I have no idea how much that's screwing up the comparison.
The speakers in the LG is a Major plus for me as I constantly, throughout the day, use the downward firing speakers on my current LG 4K monitor. I would be very interested in knowing what the through screen speakers would be like. I don't have room for on desk speakers so the lack of speakers in the ROG monitor is a major bum, however, the including of Dolby Vision support in ROG and USB C is a big plus. I'm unsure whether LG's latest matte screen or the glossy screen would be best given I do have a window opposite my monitor though no direct sunlight comes in. I am aware that the glossy looks best at night and during the day the blacks look more grey whereas the Matte LG screen also looks great at night but doesn't have quite the depth or out of the box colour accuracy of the ROG but does look great during the day with proper blacks. I really don't know which to get though the LG is yet to be available in Australia 🤬😭😨 so I may end up having little choice but go with ROG.
everyone is gettin hyped and happy while here i am DREAMING of a 25" 1440p 240hz W-OLED with 380 nits of brightness. Id gladly pay 2.500 euros in a split second for these specs.
No need to dream, dude, the lg 27gs95qe-b is basically a 26.5" 1440p 240hz W-OLED with MUCH higher brightness than it's predecessor. Still a few weeks I think before they're available.
I would be interested to see a comparison when turning off CPC and LEA in the LG service menu as well as any similar options on the Asus if available. It definitely gives the LG a nice boost to brightness and punchiness in my experience.
I think i'll wait for a ROG W-OLED or see if MSI do one later, both of these have equal flaws for me. I'd love a QD-OLED with a slighlty matte/less glossy screen as my bedroom is east facing, so even with closed shutters I can see light piercing through the gaps which would be highly visible with a glossy screen :(
Asus, or better say QD-OLED just gets worst for me when it comes to color temperature, it's like all goes reddish and that sux... I own an Alienware AW3423DW, that have same panel (kinda) and as much I love glossy coat, I hate that reddish in gaming... as for screen dimming, I noticed that even in games and trust me you gone hate it... in the end I will go with LG this time! I know, none of monitors are perfect, but still...
Just one thing I noticed, the LG has a 210W power adapter and the Asus a 280W, but the Asus does have USB-C with 65W (or 90W?) power delivery. So I don't think the LG is more efficient, its just that the Asus can supply an extra Laptop.
10:52 hmmmmmmmmm right here i spotted the LG looks like better reflection tho it could just be the setup graphically

Just a tip, it would be great to test them both in a dark/dim room. As most people or at least those with common sense who buy OLEDs have a dark room set up for gaming or watching video contents on them.
That uniform brightness setting probably just lowers the peak brightness to around 250 nits for all window sizes or whatever the full field brightness would be. I hope you turned it off for gaming because if so, your highlights would have only reached 250 nits.
Glossy just makes everything look 10 times better. There’s a reason Apple has been doing this for decades. They understand design more than any other company out there. Glad the PC world is starting to catch up.
@@rugeryeti460 I also wanted to buy ASUS products, but I couldn't get them. And the monitor I used before was the Dell AW3821DW, and I liked that product so much that I decided to go with the Dell product this time too.
Fun fact LG is the majority supplier of oled screens for all brands. At least for tv brands like sony and Samsung, etc. I wouldnt be surprised if its the same for monitors. Im surprised sony isnt punching their weight in this space, seeing their tvs are top of the line
I agree especially with us being in the uk and electricity prices through the roof most the oleds have terrible ratings usually in the F band. I agree about the gloss what do u think of the PG32UCDP AND gloss?
I opted for the Alienware because of the subtle curve love it best monitor I've ever owned hands down. Any one of these monitors will suit you well and do the job. Next level for sure
I’m wondering if the ASUS 1440p 480 hz monitor releasing later this year would be the best of both worlds. Especially if you run a duel monitor setup since it’s only 27 inch.
I'm stalking the Asus. I have the Samsung S95C 65" OLED panel which is an awesome TV in QD OLED. Samsung also make this panel so I'm already a fanboy and trying to find one in stock.
Even in light controlled rooms, QD-OLED has a reddish hue to all of the images. Apparently it’s more color accurate but I just don’t see it when it’s next to the LG. Perhaps maybe more color detail is what they mean but still the reddish hue looks bad next to the W-OLED.
I m so torn between the Asus and the new Gigabyte Aorus. I have built a 4090 ROG strix +7800x3d build which must last for the next 7 years like my good old trusty 1080ti did and now i want to pair it with a monitor for the next years!
1st UA-camr to say I’m not blown away. Well I agree I have an 27 lg gp950 4k monitor and blacks are better and hdr but colour didn’t pop as I was expecting and loss of sharpness from 27 to 32 was very noticeable
I had 27 lg gp950 4k and switched to the ASUS PG32UCDM and the text clarity is not as sharp as the 27 4k though it is very good on OLED 32 4k BUT the colors are much more vibrant and black is black not IPS grey so it was a HUGE upgrade when it comes to gaming and media
I suspect part of the reason why he’s not so impressed is because the monitors are being used in an extremely bright environment. OLEDs really don’t play nicely with a lot of ambient light. Larger displays also give the impression of being brighter, and the G3 *is* actually brighter than both of these.
Thanks for the wobble test and blackleg falling demonstration, I have a standing desk and the depth of it would require me to place Asus too close to the edge. Now I don't think that's a good idea, will get a monitor arm.
I would probably pick the LG if it only had a 1440 native mode with 360Hz refresh. I really don't understand why they added dual mode, but didn't go straight to tri-mode, seems like a no-brainer.
Note: 1440 mode would be ideal for most games. It would shrink the viewport down to about 21" with no pixel mapptig, perfect for most esports titles. Modern GPU's can run most games at 1440p, and esports titles at 360hz, again, ideal. Far more useful in my mind than 1080, scaled, at 480hz.
The reason is because the way the dual modes work is that all pixels are on for each frame of the 4k 240hz and to get the 480 hz 1080p they turn half the pixels on for one frame and half for the next so they have time to refresh between each frame. This doubles the fps and since its only turning on half the pixels then it gets half the resolution 1080p. It gets a bit more complicated with 1440p and 360hz from my understanding but I could be wrong.
@@balpz3803 but you can run 1080p 480hz in a viewport (less than full screen) so they can't do half on/half off like you say. But makes sense otherwise.
@@josephhfry not really sure what you mean, seems like they just turn half the pixels on in the less than full screen and just half the rest of the monitor black, might be misunderstanding sorry
Hi Marcus, i take the Asus, cause i love glossy displays, and on the german market you do not see Monitors with a glossy display..actually i have a LG 27 gr93u -b ,with a 4 k Display it looks verry nice and colorfull, but i dont like the coating on any screens, you can buy here.

So I know you have reviewed the PG27UQ and the PG32UQX. You said the G3 tv was the best HDR you’ve ever experienced. Is that true? I ask because I’m thinking about going for the G4 for my desk (55”).
@@trev8591 Ah the limitation here is the black levels for the most part. Unless you can replicate zero level blacks, there’s zero way to tell how the monitors look like on screen.
Both LG and Asus cheaped out and failed to include a Displayport 2.1 connector. Only Gigabyte's Aorus FO32U2P 4K 240hz model is true next gen and includes that feature. All the others are still faking it with DP 1.4 + DSC. As far as audio connectors go, only Dell's 32" AW3225QF 4K 240hz monitor includes an eARC socket for Dolby Atmos passthrough. We need a 32" 4K 240hz OLED monitor that includes DP 2.1, eARC audio passthrough and Dolby Vision. Until manufacturer's include all these bells and whistles, I will continue to hold off on buying their products.

QD OLED for gaming, personally I'd forget 4K gaming unless you've got very deep pockets. Last year's "gaming monitor of the year" (still gets the thumbs up from Monitors Unboxed in '24) QD OLED QHD 165Hz Alienware AW3423DWF is available at some very good discounts, that brings it within reach for quite a few folks, 2K (3440 × 1440p) Ultrawide, and you'll be able to afford a GPU to make use of that refresh rate. Stunning HDR games and movies have never looked so good. Like most OLED monitors comes with a 3 year burn in warranty. Not the best for regular computer use, but for those of us who only tolerate Windows as something to run your games on and watching movies, especially HDR content nothing else comes close to OLED regardless of resolution.
Yeah qhd is the way to go
Eh. You can run DLSS performance on mid range GPUs and still get 60+ fps on most games. Don’t think 4K is all that inaccessible anymore. Besides, most people upgrade their GPUs before their monitors.
@@noidsuperexactly I use my lg oled 4k with a used rx 6800xt for 350€. All I need for gaming

Great video and comparison!
19th may the pg32ucdm will be added to my cart just hope my 4070ti super is enough to drive it .. I cannot wait, thanks for the great video as always
I'm sure it will be. I'm planning on getting a 4070 ti super and one of these 4k oleds soon.
After watching videos on the 4080 super, looks like it gets between 10-20 more fps depending on game. But I think the 4070 ti super is good enough for now.

You see the white screen dimming as a negative but for me it makes sense as support bright white screens justhurt my eyes, especially at night in a dark room.
I think you can adjust the light on the screen?
Love the video! Looking forward to picking up the LG myself as that 240/480hz combo feels like buying 2 OLED monitors in one. Pretty good value.
Check out Monitors Unboxed review of the LG 32GS95UE, it's quite disappointing compared to the QD-OLEDs. Doesn't even get brighter which was the only real benefit LGs WOLED was supposed to have.
@@DonDOOM4Did you not read the comment? 480hz combo is the value some people want.
@@ThisIsExile91 Considering to buy an inferior product, picture quality wise, that's more expensive and comes without 3y burn in warranty for a gimmick like 480hz @ 1080p on a 32" panel should be a very tough sell.
The QD-OLED is marginally brighter in a light controlled room. The advantage you are pushing g is insignificant. The QD-OLEDs are inferior in non-light controlled rooms and they almost always add a reddish tint to every image compared to W-OLED. 480hz also allows people to get more out of their cards for longer periods of time as games become more demanding.
@@j.echevarria8630 480hz... at 1080p my guy.
As I said, look at the monitor's unboxed review, the brightness really is surprisingly low on the LG monitor. Like 200 nits lower brightness for some 1 - 10% APL scenes.
Edit: Actually 300 nits lower brightness in a low APL scene. -25:00 in MUB's LG 32GS95UE review.
Not sure what you mean with the reddish tint. Setting up the monitor's color temp and display color space should fix any issues of the colors not looking right for you.
I can't choose, I love the asus screen way more, but for me the 480hz 1080p mode on the LG is actually really good
That mode is a world by itself.
Great content here sir 👏🏽
Anti-glare does it for me:
1. I am against gaming at night, because that is for speed;
2. I am against closing all windows or blinds, because you don’t get any air & ventilation in;
3. I won’t bothering cancelling any light source in the room only to minimize all reflections.

@@cezarstefanseghjucan same to you little man, same to you
so after this, i knew it was going to not blow me away since its the first of its kind. i think in the future we would need more like 600 true blacks 340 Hz but actually i find 32 inch almost a waste of space. 27 inches is still a lot as ur only 3 feet away from the screen anyway. I think if they went with only 27 inches these displays would look better
7:50 Not sure if it is your ring light, but damn the QD look purple when casting a bright light onto it. I knew there would be a slight tint, but not that much. The WOLED, while.matte, looks better in this specific instance.
Its just the camera it looks same irl
@@Sala-yo4co No, after I wrote that, you still see the same color shift later on. The purple color shift is a known issue with QD-OLEDs. You can look up some other sources and monitor reviews that mention it.
On the LG GS95UE, turn put digital vibrance from 50 to 60-65%.. This make the LG the better pick compared to the ASUS one.
Yeap, Others has said as well turn up digital vibrance ( 50% to 60% ) which will make the LG standout color wise over the asus one and you wont get the "purple tint" on the glossy screen nor lifted blacks
It looks like the QD-OLED has sort of magenta tint when it's supposed to be black. Does it come out like that IRL too or is it an artifact from the camera?
Any light directed on the screen need a light controlled room
Nope it's magenta...it's raised black effect
@@tazboy1934 it’s not a problem unless you walk around with a flash light pointing it at displays
It is a feature 😅
That’s the draw back of QD-OLED.
It doesn’t have a polarizer, so any light that hits it straight on will raise the blacks.
If you don’t have good light control in the room you should probably go with WOLED.
If you do though, they are great.
The ASUS looks like it just has way too much saturation, which I feel like people are thinking that looks better.
@PcCentric After viewing a few side by side reviews on these two panels now, I've noticed that the QD panel appears to have very prominent reds, it looks like even the reflections turn red for some reason. When content shows on screen it's got a red bias, I initially thought it was due to the sub pixel layout having a lager red pixel but I'm starting to think it's the coating that also causes the raised blacks.
I can't understand why it's not mentioned at all in reviews and how these screens are more colour accurate than the woled with such a significant red bias.
Have you noticed this in person?
It is more red, but you could also say the LG is more green - until I've run calibration, can't say what's more accurate yet.
QD-OLED is capable of displaying brighter reds. It has quite a bit more color volume across the board actually.
The magenta tint you see is actually a quirk of current QD-OLED monitors. Blacks tend to turn a gray magenta when exposed to light. It’s part of the reason why QD-OLEDs are often recommended for dim room environments. WOLEDs actually have better black retention when exposed to ambient light.
That being said both perform significantly better in darker environments. Bright rooms diminish the impressiveness of OLED displays.
@@PcCentric Indeed we need calibrations test, but as a fast overlook on them, LG looks way more accurate on gamma than Asus, well, I think that is a downside of glossy coats for those kind of monitors.
LG for me, because it’s got built in speakers for work use and has a more normal design, and the matte screen again for work use.
Yeah, those are big plus's for me. The lack of USB C is a downside.
But no USB-C with PD and KVM
@@Rem0n89 Yeap plusses and minuses with both really.
I never really knew the difference between QD Oled an WOLED till I saw this video you could see more details on the QD-OLED which is nice to know.
I like this out of the box review style. Also like how you stumbled upon a major issue with these qd oled monitors which reviewers seemed to have missed but redditors are clamoring about, and that is how the true black 400 mode seems brighter than the console hdr mode which is supposed to peak at 1000 nits (and does). This is a MAJOR issue imho and apparently affects all qd oled monitors. You can stick with hdr 400 and get a general brighter image (in modest apl scenes) but one that peaks at an anemic 400 nits or you can stick to console hdr and get 1000 nit highlights in very low apl scenes but a dim overall picture with higher apl scenes. You shouldn’t have to pick your poison like that and you don’t have to with qd oled TV’s (or mini led monitors which I think may be the better buy for hdr gaming at this size at the moment).
This has been the case since qd oleds came out dont know why people are shocked now. 1000 is def preferable as 400 over brightens most the image and lacks bright highlights. QD oled tvs as well foce you to use game mode which doesnt look as good imo.
@@rahb2096 game mode only looks worse on woled tvs prior to this year. Qd oled TV’s are objectively the same as outside of game mode as they are in game mode

Had the asus and sent it back. Waiting for the LG now. Any idea when we get a uk release date and price ?
Why did you send it back?
@@PcCentric in HDR mode it was way to yellow / orange in terms of colour temp and it locks you out of changing the colour temperature while in HDR mode. It locks up all settings. The LG doesn’t do this. It allows changes.
I feel that too. I have the MSI MPG 321URX which is same panel as ASUS, the HDR colors look too yellow/orange to me. Plus you can't unsee the rised black on the QD-OLED once you noticed it, even in low light. I'm thinking of returning it and buy the LG.
@@Captain-Chatsthat sucks dude because I'm pretty sure you can change that now lol I thought the same thing because I like cool temps...all I did was turn off HDR then changed temps turn HDR back on and it's good. Could be a new firmware is the reason I was able to do that...by the way I have both monitors and they are both great. Asus slightly more vibrant but they both have pro and cons
Been wanting these since the CES demo, but the availabiliy in the UK / EU is a joke, let alone the price difference comparead to the US retailers. Im sticking with my AW3423DWF for the time being.
Recently got a 43" LG C3 OLED to use primarily as a gaming monitor but also for movie/TV consumption. I would've loved one of these for the gaming benefits and the slightly smaller size, but I couldn't get around the lack of home theater features like no Dolby Vision, etc. I'm just as much a home AV enthusiast as I am PC enthusiast so the C3 was a nice meet in the middle for me. And it was only $800, compared to $1200.
Same, just got myself a 42 C3 for my gaming setup. I already have a C2 55, those oleds are really great. The only thing that i'm kinda feeliing like missing on is a higher refresh rate, but those monitors are so expensive compared to the tvs.
watching on my 4k PG27UQ HDR monitor and it looks fantastic though i know these great monitors won't be as bright as mine, darks will be clearer and apt.
Thank you for teaching me a lot about tech
Your literally the last to make this video but we are still here
I hope 32" 1440p 360Hz is an option in the future. I sit far from my monitor to keep it out of firing range of my studio speakers for music production but also enjoy me a bit of fast paced gaming.
That side by side glare test is the best I ever seen. No one does it! Keep up the good work! Cheers!
It's good for glare but not as useful for "is my face reflected in this thing?". I could really do with that kind of comparison.
@@DGneoseeker1 that only happens if your window is behind the monitor orbthe light source shines on your face somehow. But most of the time the people have the window in they back (like I do, and there is no way I can change the furniture), so most of the time I really cover the monitor with my body and head to not see the window from begind. Also for my scenario is better a glare type monitor. The mate monitor difusez the light on the entire monitor.
@@mostwanted2000 The window in my case is positioned technically behind and off to one side compared to where the monitor is. And also blocked by the stairs. But I still got horrible reflections off a glossy IPS monitor. No LIGHT reflections. Just FACE reflections.
A single light bulb in the computer area up above was enough to cause this.
@@DGneoseeker1 okay, then for your case a mate monitor is better. Buy I don't like how they destroy the color output. If you compare on rtings webiste side by side a mate and a glossy, you will see in the text clarity section the "painted" pixels
@@mostwanted2000 In the videos I've seen comparing the LG WOLED with matte...ish screen vs the ASUS ROG QD-OLED with glossy screen I can't see any real difference in the image except the QD-OLED is pinkish while the WOLED is more blueish.
But of course I'm viewing images on 4K monitors via whatever the default youtube resolution is, on a 1440p IPS monitor so I have no idea how much that's screwing up the comparison.
The speakers in the LG is a Major plus for me as I constantly, throughout the day, use the downward firing speakers on my current LG 4K monitor. I would be very interested in knowing what the through screen speakers would be like. I don't have room for on desk speakers so the lack of speakers in the ROG monitor is a major bum, however, the including of Dolby Vision support in ROG and USB C is a big plus. I'm unsure whether LG's latest matte screen or the glossy screen would be best given I do have a window opposite my monitor though no direct sunlight comes in. I am aware that the glossy looks best at night and during the day the blacks look more grey whereas the Matte LG screen also looks great at night but doesn't have quite the depth or out of the box colour accuracy of the ROG but does look great during the day with proper blacks. I really don't know which to get though the LG is yet to be available in Australia 🤬😭😨 so I may end up having little choice but go with ROG.
ASUS customer support is a nightmare, good luck

Am I correct is thinking that without a Display Port 2.1 on both the Monitor and the GPU , we aren't actually receiving 240hz? Or is it compressed?
I would be interested to see a comparison when turning off CPC and LEA in the LG service menu as well as any similar options on the Asus if available. It definitely gives the LG a nice boost to brightness and punchiness in my experience.
I think i'll wait for a ROG W-OLED or see if MSI do one later, both of these have equal flaws for me. I'd love a QD-OLED with a slighlty matte/less glossy screen as my bedroom is east facing, so even with closed shutters I can see light piercing through the gaps which would be highly visible with a glossy screen :(
You can just get a privacy curtain to solve your issue
Asus, or better say QD-OLED just gets worst for me when it comes to color temperature, it's like all goes reddish and that sux... I own an Alienware AW3423DW, that have same panel (kinda) and as much I love glossy coat, I hate that reddish in gaming... as for screen dimming, I noticed that even in games and trust me you gone hate it... in the end I will go with LG this time! I know, none of monitors are perfect, but still...
Well with LG you get a bluish tint instead so it's not that much better.
min 10:50 and green/blue its better ?

I agree. Asus QD OLED looks better to my eyes. Clearly better.
LG has superior black color and contrast than Asus monitor
@@СНСАЛЕКСАНДАРВУЧИЋ nah
Just one thing I noticed, the LG has a 210W power adapter and the Asus a 280W, but the Asus does have USB-C with 65W (or 90W?) power delivery. So I don't think the LG is more efficient, its just that the Asus can supply an extra Laptop.
10:52 hmmmmmmmmm right here i spotted the LG looks like better reflection tho it could just be the setup graphically
Just a tip, it would be great to test them both in a dark/dim room. As most people or at least those with common sense who buy OLEDs have a dark room set up for gaming or watching video contents on them.
No? Let some light in your life… holy crap
@@Xyz-i7b2d Don't have time for broke opinions. Stay in your lane...."holy crap"
So lame that LG also uses a fan like Alienware. I have very sensitive hearing and that small fan spinning at high rpm would bother me.
This is what i thought, but its way quieter than the one in the Alineware QD OLED ultrawide - i wouldnt worry (coming from a silence freak)
I never knew the Alienware 32 4K QD it’s literally not audible
Glossy has better colors and overall better
Which one is glossy? Asus?
It has crazy rised black unless in a pitched black room, beware
@Andrea-yf3hu There's even worse raised blacks on matte as it diffuses the light.
It's better to have a fan inside the monitor! That helps the monitor to not get burn in
Its better to have heatsink. Better temps, no noise.
That uniform brightness setting probably just lowers the peak brightness to around 250 nits for all window sizes or whatever the full field brightness would be. I hope you turned it off for gaming because if so, your highlights would have only reached 250 nits.
I got the LG 32GS95UE and it was perfect.
The WOLED looks blacker.
LG has superior black color than Asus QD OLED
Glossy finish is better than matte coating, therefore the colors will always be more vibrant and punchy .
What keyboard is that? Looks nice
Glossy just makes everything look 10 times better. There’s a reason Apple has been doing this for decades. They understand design more than any other company out there. Glad the PC world is starting to catch up.

Fun fact LG is the majority supplier of oled screens for all brands. At least for tv brands like sony and Samsung, etc.
I wouldnt be surprised if its the same for monitors. Im surprised sony isnt punching their weight in this space, seeing their tvs are top of the line
I agree especially with us being in the uk and electricity prices through the roof most the oleds have terrible ratings usually in the F band. I agree about the gloss what do u think of the PG32UCDP AND gloss?
MSI got the price right. Anything priced above it is throwing money away.

Ugh this makes me really want to do a balls to the wall all rog build even more :/
Not noticable difference between the two 4K Oleds, but is it a huge difference to 1440p TN/IPS panel?
The LG and Samsung look so nice. The Asus looks like a Fisher Price toy.
I’m wondering if the ASUS 1440p 480 hz monitor releasing later this year would be the best of both worlds. Especially if you run a duel monitor setup since it’s only 27 inch.
Finally got mine yesterday. Its soooooo good. I got the ASUS.
I'm stalking the Asus. I have the Samsung S95C 65" OLED panel which is an awesome TV in QD OLED. Samsung also make this panel so I'm already a fanboy and trying to find one in stock.
Australia here 😊 the Asus cost $2800 here and it not out yet.
brightness doesnt always mean better. Some of these overly bright panels over saturate the colors
Even in light controlled rooms, QD-OLED has a reddish hue to all of the images. Apparently it’s more color accurate but I just don’t see it when it’s next to the LG. Perhaps maybe more color detail is what they mean but still the reddish hue looks bad next to the W-OLED.
I m so torn between the Asus and the new Gigabyte Aorus. I have built a 4090 ROG strix +7800x3d build which must last for the next 7 years like my good old trusty 1080ti did and now i want to pair it with a monitor for the next years!
1st UA-camr to say I’m not blown away. Well I agree I have an 27 lg gp950 4k monitor and blacks are better and hdr but colour didn’t pop as I was expecting and loss of sharpness from 27 to 32 was very noticeable
Samsung panels have the highest ppi! I was scared I’d lose the sharpness going from 27 to 32 but a 4K panel with 140ppi is nice
I had 27 lg gp950 4k and switched to the ASUS PG32UCDM and the text clarity is not as sharp as the 27 4k though it is very good on OLED 32 4k BUT the colors are much more vibrant and black is black not IPS grey so it was a HUGE upgrade when it comes to gaming and media
Return it why keep it?
Did you not listen? He said he uses a LG G3 tv. These monitors are underwhelming compared to that tv.
I suspect part of the reason why he’s not so impressed is because the monitors are being used in an extremely bright environment. OLEDs really don’t play nicely with a lot of ambient light. Larger displays also give the impression of being brighter, and the G3 *is* actually brighter than both of these.
any moniter make Netflix smoother frame rate ?? same oled TV
neither one of these are on amazon nice video
OD-OLED is so much more clear and detailed. Matte is like someone smeared thick oil all over it.
Qd OLED burn in much faster
the qd oled is not what's making it clear and detailed it's the glossy screen vs matte that makes the biggest difference.
Please start with prices for the equipment you show.
you should compare monitors only when they have the same finish and similar specs.
Thanks for the wobble test and blackleg falling demonstration, I have a standing desk and the depth of it would require me to place Asus too close to the edge. Now I don't think that's a good idea, will get a monitor arm.
I would probably pick the LG if it only had a 1440 native mode with 360Hz refresh. I really don't understand why they added dual mode, but didn't go straight to tri-mode, seems like a no-brainer.
Note: 1440 mode would be ideal for most games. It would shrink the viewport down to about 21" with no pixel mapptig, perfect for most esports titles. Modern GPU's can run most games at 1440p, and esports titles at 360hz, again, ideal. Far more useful in my mind than 1080, scaled, at 480hz.
The reason is because the way the dual modes work is that all pixels are on for each frame of the 4k 240hz and to get the 480 hz 1080p they turn half the pixels on for one frame and half for the next so they have time to refresh between each frame. This doubles the fps and since its only turning on half the pixels then it gets half the resolution 1080p. It gets a bit more complicated with 1440p and 360hz from my understanding but I could be wrong.
@@balpz3803 but you can run 1080p 480hz in a viewport (less than full screen) so they can't do half on/half off like you say. But makes sense otherwise.
@@josephhfry not really sure what you mean, seems like they just turn half the pixels on in the less than full screen and just half the rest of the monitor black, might be misunderstanding sorry

@@noidsuper totally agree, that's a major factor.
Both LG and Asus cheaped out and failed to include a Displayport 2.1 connector. Only Gigabyte's Aorus FO32U2P 4K 240hz model is true next gen and includes that feature. All the others are still faking it with DP 1.4 + DSC. As far as audio connectors go, only Dell's 32" AW3225QF 4K 240hz monitor includes an eARC socket for Dolby Atmos passthrough. We need a 32" 4K 240hz OLED monitor that includes DP 2.1, eARC audio passthrough and Dolby Vision. Until manufacturer's include all these bells and whistles, I will continue to hold off on buying their products.
