      1440p is still exceptional. HP 27qs is a great one to have there is another one by LG that is nano something tech and it creates the illusion of higher resolution of some sort and I love it. it is also best buy proprietary i think so it goes on sale frequently

    Just wanted to say, using the waveforms at 4:26 to show differences in HDR brightness is a GENIUS way of demonstrating brightness performance. Very straight forward and easy to understand. Surprised I don't see reviewers do that more. Good thinking! Please do more of that 🙏

    • @mitchplays9297
      @mitchplays9297 10 днів тому +8

      I agree, to the untrained eye its very hard to compare the differences between the two. Its even good for people watching on non oled screens, where maybe the images look the same, but the waveform will show easy to digest data about the picture quality. I hope this catches on and more reviews start to include it

    • @cryptonix02
      @cryptonix02 10 днів тому +4

      ​@@Keivz I believe he's just taking raw camera footage of the monitors in action, putting it in Premiere or DaVinci Resolve or something, and using a video scope waveform to show the differences side-by-side.
      It seems like it's most useful in *comparison* as opposed to only showing a single monitor's performance because it might be hard to calibrate exactly how bright the footage should register, so rather than trying to perfectly adjust your camera settings to match real-world luminance values, you can just compare two of them side-by-side to at *least* see which one's brighter.

    • @CraWea
      @CraWea 9 днів тому +3

      Yeah I appreciate the empirical approach, but without a reference waveform there is no way of knowing which of the two waveforms is the most "correct". I'd rather have a well calibrated screen with appropriate brightness than one hardwired to "impressive demo" mode, like you see for demo TVs in electronics shops.

    • @Keivz

    If you're in the UK (or AOC is available for you), the AOC AG276QZD2 is a much better buy. Currently £450, it uses the latest gen 3 QD-OLED panel at 1440p 240hz.
    Edit: So I see some people claiming that the monitor is a gen 2 panel. This was previously W-OLED from LG, the updated version (this, they only changed 1 part of the name) uses Samsung's gen 3 QD-OLED. I hope this clarifies things. Please ensure that you have the correct model (AG276QZD2) when purchasing.

      But your point about "artists draw at a flat resolution" is very irrelevant. Almost every artist draws at 4-8k minimum, and games rendered in 3d usually have appropriately large textures that mean you will be playing at the appropriate resolution anyway. It's impossible not to notice the difference; there's no "trying to cope to justify the purchase", that's just how it is. I kind of suspect you were playing in 1080p on your games, or maybe your monitor was just that small that the PPI made it hard for you to tell.

      People were saying Asus and MSI aren't very good with their warranty which is why I went for Alienware as I read good things about them. Lo and behold, my amazing luck strikes again and I had a vertical line in the middle of my AW2725df(360hz qd oled, also 800 euro) which likely had been there from the start but I didn't notice it until 3 months in as it was very, very faint and needed special conditions to notice it. I returned it and only 2 weeks later they sent me a new one(usually whenever I return something in my country they waste the full 30 days before returning the product so getting it in 2 weeks was insane). I just received it and am impatiently waiting for it to get acclimated because it's cold outside. I have confirmed that it's a new model though because the service code says it's from October 2024. So I can wholeheartedly recommend alienware if you are scared of burn in or any other problem as they are indeed very good with their warranty.

      Yeah its like 95% OLED recommendations now, but people who aren't just gaming really need to understand what it means when they say "mainly for gaming". I feel like its not emphasized enough that if you aren't mostly using it for gaming how much more differently you will need to use the monitor. A lot of newer people who jump into OLED are going to love the colors and performance, but could end up with annoying issues later down the line. I realized how much less I game compared to doing other things on my main monitors and decided against it. Hopefully mini-LED monitors come after the OLED hype dies down.

      Additional info on panel difference. The newer one is 0.03ms minimum response time, instead of 0.3ms (so more similar to the panel mentioned in the video). Higher horizontal frequency of 360kHz instead of 255kHz (whatever that means). Higher power consumption of 75W instead of 25W (but EU certificate says 29 kWh/1000h vs 25 kWh/1000h, so there might be a mistake in specs)

They show the difference in one of the slides but weird there is not at least one hdmi 2.1 port. I have a 1440p 144hz ips monitor that I bought years ago, no HDR or any modern features, this is a tempting upgrade. I have a Sony A80J OLED TV and I love it and never plan on going back.

      thats what u get for not having Chinese competitors, Xiaomi lowered the phone price for everyone, i hope theres someone doing it for monitors and GPUs too, there are self developing brands catching up but they're like 1-2 gens behind and less optimized than the big brands atm

    I love the small center mounted stand! I need all the usable desk space I can get! I am looking forward to 2nd gen monitors when a few more bugs have been worked out!

    I got the KTC 1440p oled in April and its very similar to this! So far its been a great experience and its good that oled prices are slowly but surely falling!
