Dell had it all perfect. Glossy screen, great refresh rate, first on the market, great pricing and than they decided to ruin it all for the 90% of consumers by going with a curved screen!
Have you tried a 1800-1700R curved monitor? I was very sceptical at first but got to borrow a friends 1800R monitor. And after just a few days my brain adjust, and after that a flat monitor feels like its curved backwards now like a CRT. A few day later the booth flat and curved feel fine. You just need to let your brain adjust it takes some time. I'm working with 3D art btw so not just a gamer, have no issues with lines on this slight curve.
I’ve bought the AW3225QF, here in the UK is £989 and now they have 50% off for 3Y Pro Warranty .Definitely is the way to go with this one. I’ve bought this monitor just for gaming on my PC, I hope I did the right decision compared to MSI and ASUS models ( this ones are like £1350 in UK )
How do you find 32” for desk use? Perfect or a little too big? I want 4k but the size worries me from the coupla times I’ve seen one in store and there’s no 27inch oleds
@@techieg33k no reason to believe it wouldn't work perfectly. I seem to remember Tim from Hardware Unboxed mention some Freesync Premium Pro issues. Check his review for AMD.
MSI MPG 271QRX still absent in europe. Did samsung have "adding a polarizing layer" on their QD-OLED road map? Arguably the biggest weakness of the tech.
The only one I’d throw in the mix then would be the Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDM in the 32” space. It’s also excellent. All other recommendations remain the same 😀
I went with the LG 45GR95QE-B. Despite the lower PPI, the immersion during gaming is unreal. Can't go back to a smaller gaming monitor now as this completely spoiled me.
Thank you for the amazing round-up! The options seem great, but don't want to settle for first gen 34" panel , when second gen shown sizable improvement. I guess I'll wait for a few years more, and hopefully by that time both panels get better, and AutoHDR mapping will improve.
9:20 But the C2 and C3 have a glossy screen which just makes them better than any of the "monitors" in that size. I personally use the LG C1 55'' for my PC monitor and I've come to quite enjoy the large format monitor myself, it provides an absolutely immersive experience while gaming and the extra screen real estate is really nice while video editing.
Glossy doesn’t make them a better choice for most monitor usage situations unfortunately. And they lack common monitor-like features too. They’re very good screens, and if you can still find a C2 or C3 at a good price (now that the C4 is being released) they’re a good option worth a look 😀
I bought one of the ASUS PG42UQ and it had a 5cm splotch on the right side of the screen. I tried to RMA it and they said they had no advance RMA system, and would take 6-12 weeks to repair my screen. Completely unacceptable. Asus has no warranty support. DO NOT BUY THIS SCREEN.
Yeah, unless you're totally desperate or money isn't an object, waiting is the obvious choice, especially since all of this year's models hasn't even been released yet!
Would you say it's better to get the 27" 360Hz Alienware OLED in EU for 929 euros or wait and see whatever Asus' 480Hz brings to the table? I would much prefer the Asus, but if it's an extra 300€ + 3 months of waiting, I'm not sure it's worth it
I was waiting for the MSI MPG 321URX to become available. They're taking too long, so I went with the LG 27GS95QE. Matte screen and all, I have no issues with it. I guess that must be a PC gamer problem, I use mine for console.
I have the AW2725DF but not completely happy with it. VRR flickering is pretty bad, the HDR modes have too many compromises, and I don’t like how the ports have limited bandwidth compared to what they could’ve put in it. Also I might have a little eye strain but I’m still not sure how big of a deal that is. Text clarity is pretty good but I’d really like 4k. 32” is just too big for the games I mostly play or I’d just get one of those. Man it sucks because it’s a great display but it’s just not quite there. I either just eat the cost of it and deal with the cons now or send it back and wait for a 4k 27”. LG is completely out of the question unless they ever offer a glossy option.
Likely down to supply and demand. There’s little reason for Asus and MSI To drop their price when stock is so limited right now anyway and being snapped up straight away
I would like to get the MPG 271qrx but in Australia , MSI really decided to price their monitor at $1799, $400 more than the Alienware aw2725df which is priced at $1,399. Kinda weird why they did that
@@tftcentralwhile I agree a 42" is probably the most you want for desktop, 48-55" is very common/preferred in the simpit world. We would appreciate at least a mention ;)
So, I was debating what to buy ~ I knew I wanted 4k OLED 240hz. Dell, MSI, Asus, LG & Gigabyte were my options. $949-$1299. Price was weighing on me so I ordered the MSI. BUT, while waiting, I asked myself, how long do I want to keep this monitor? The answer was, at least 3+ years. So, I looked at all the support/warranty options and read about 50 user feedback. I landed on the Dell Alienware AW3225QF because: -Customer service -Ease of return if you have an issue -Availability -AND with the 10% off, I paid $1069 for it It arrived in PERFECT condition yesterday. The firmware update was VERY EASY. I absolutely LOVE this monitor. The motion clarity & deep colors are amazing. I NOW understand when people say "DEEP Blacks" or "INKY Blacks" I packed up my LG 32GQ950-B & put it up for sale today Something of note: The CURVE is BARLEY noticeable. I had a 1500R I didn't love but this... I think I really like it actually. Think LONG term peeps 👍
How would it be for productivity tho? I don’t only game much anymore but I want QD-oled… but I still use spreadsheets and emails… do you think Alienware or MSI? Plus, 27 or 32? I’m used to 27. But I’m wondering if 32 will be better so I can put my monitor back further
well what you can do if you like is just use it as is for work with some stuff like 2min display sleep and some other stuff like it, and run like usual, if it burns in within 3 years (hopefully closer to the 3 year mark if it actually does) then get a replacement under warranty and it should last just as long again but next time if u wanna be more safe get a side monitor for just work and static stuff@@mjregan88
@@mjregan88 I find text to be totally fine. I cant tell that its an OLED. Colors are amazing. 3 year warranty should make you feel safe using it. 32 is AMAZING for productivity!
@@tftcentralthanks for the clarification. So I should be happy with my 321URX. I wanted Asus but Incouldn t manage to get one. However the msi is very good and I can see a big difference from my Corsair xeneon flex 45 which I had before with aspects like sharpness, brightness, colours.
In Canada I could not find stock of the MSI....only the non-updateable UPQ I think it is. And no Asus yet either. So I have a Alienware AW3225QF (that was just delivered yesterday), sitting on my office floor...waiting for me to get home from work next week : )
Surprised he didn’t mention the 341cqp for ultra wide since it’s the same gen 1 panel, 175hz and has a usb c with 15 watt charging for almost 800$ (829$) plus with the 3 year burn in warranty. It’s a much better value than the dwf
I'm waiting for the 34" inch Ultrawide from Gigabyte, hoping that it has a heatsink on the back. Here in Italy the least expensive UW is the Oled G8 from Samsung, but it is Gen 1 and the fan is a deal breaker for the future
He didn't mention the LG 4K-240Hz/1080p-480Hz model just released as that looks very interesting and the behind the screen speakers looks very interesting. Its a bum its missing USB C but otherwise looks great. Assuming they are released for sale in Australia very soon and a recent check a few days ago the LG hadn't, I'm either going to order the LG which btw I feel looks the nicest from the rear of the newest Oled's but doesn't mention a specific Oled warranty but has a really nice, user friendly software which I very much value as I use it at least three times per day to adjust the brightness for watching at night in my dark room. Though I wasn't as keen on the back of the msi monitor, I've seen much worse in the past. The MSI also has a lot of great features including USB C though I don't know if my Android phone will show the camera app in full screen when connected via the USB C as my current LG monitor does, a feature I use regularly.
No we didn’t mention that one for now as it’s not properly released yet, but we hope to review it soon and if it’s good, it might make it on to our list. Although it would have to be bloody good to justify the $450 USD price premium compared with the MSI!
Personally I’d expect some price reductions once stock has over taken demand. Right now there is no reason to lower pricing from a business point of view
Would you recommend the mag 2721qpx? Do you think not being able to update firmware is a dealbreaker? The qrx is out of stock everywhere. Thanks in advance!
If you don’t need the other added features of the MPG, and need to buy a screen sooner then I think it’s def worth a look. Hard to say about the lack of firmware updates tbh, there’s a couple of bugs they will likely try and fix on the MPG
Thanks for this. As someone looking for a HDR monitor for productivity _and_ gaming, it would be awesome to see a video that discusses mini-LED options - since there are so many and the products are often more obscure - and briefly compares them to OLEDs to help decide between HDR monitors collectively.
Yeah they can be very variable in performance too. This article might be useful for some general OLED vs Mini LED positioning too tftcentral.co.uk/articles/mini-led-vs-oled-explained-including-the-new-cooler-master-monitor-roadmap-for-2024
Is there a way to turn off the power indicator light on the MSI 32 inch? It would be nice to be able to turn it off, and only use it when you need to do pixel maintenance.
I would recommend the 27“ WOLED Monitor from last year. For example the PG27AQDM or other brands with the same panel. You can get the AOC version for 680€ (2560x1440p 240 Hz).
@@tftcentral Is the new Dell better then the PG27AQDM? I am asking because I just bought the ASUS yesterday. I thought the „true“ OLED would be better for its perfect black I am just playing MORPGS and don’t really care about the 360hz cause I will never reach them 😂
Yes stock is very limited right now. The MAG equivalent is worth a look too and more readily available. Info here tftcentral.co.uk/news/differences-between-the-msi-mpg-271qrx-and-mag-271qpx-explained
@@tftcentral Do you think it is worth buying the MAG? When there is a difference of only $50 and with firmware that cannot be updated and other things. :v
@christiansolis6538 prob not enough of a saving to make that worthwhile unless you want to buy something now and not wait for the slow trickle of stock on the MPG model
Dell 32 inch is better then the MSI. First, you can get 100$ off, so the price different is not huge. But Dolby vision, better Gsync/AMD support and the curve to me is much better.
Everyone who can't get a 321urx will say this lol. Curve is not better than flat, secondly I hope you enjoy permanent marks on your display from dells horrendous packaging. MSI also $100 steam card, and KVM, no screen marks, flat screen, cheaper.. your Dolby Vision is not worth it, the 321urx and g-sync works great. He's correct, MSI wins.
@@Qt33zy they fixed the packaging and I own both. I sent the MSI back. The GSync works better out the box and Dolby Vision is better. MSI will not have any Firmware support...ever. You keep watching videos to tell you what to do, I bought both, and will even try the LG, but the Alienware fits all my needs.
Should I wait for the MSI 27qrx or just go straight for the Alienware, with the burn in care MSI’s has it seems like it’d be a better choice. Hope it comes in stock again soon
Question I've recently got the MSI MPG 27QRX but it appears to have some microscratches but are only visible under a flashlight. Is this normal for OLEDs? Seen various posts on light scratches by several people on reddit and since you've tested more OLEDs would like to hear your thoughts on the matter.
It’s possible that it could be related to the manufacturing process and coating type of QDOLED, but if these are only visible with a flashlight, I really wouldn’t worry about it. It feels like looking for something that just isn’t an issue or will cause any problem in real usage
Alienware's latest QD-OLEDS had similar issues out of the box in their early batches. Some owners had bad scratching out of the box. They didn't have a proper protective layer on the screen and they were getting scratched when rubbing against the cover that it shipped in. Since they have fixed the issue. Wonder if the coatings are just a bit soft in general.
I'm confused about the MSI MPG 321URX, has it actually launched in the United States yet? I've heard that it has launched and just sells out within 1 minute. But I've also heard it won't launch until mid April. Does anyone know? All the retailers just show auto-notify and "coming soon"
I just got the pg42uq a couple weeks ago and it is amazing (after getting the hdr firmware fix). I followed your guide on getting it set up nicely. It feels like I'm a kid discovering video games and movies for the first time again
It’s an excellent screen but you can’t ignore that huge price difference in N America. Hard to recommend any of the others ahead of that with their current pricing. The Dell and Asus models we’ve reviewed are also excellent screens
@@tftcentral No you're absolutely right. If the other monitors are pretty similar specs and feature wise, then it will come down to price. The cheaper one will always be recommended in that case. I personally pick the one that meets my need and preference. If it is the one that happens to be $200 more, then so be it. In truth, you can't go wrong with any of these monitors.
Dell had it all perfect. Glossy screen, great refresh rate, first on the market, great pricing and than they decided to ruin it all for the 90% of consumers by going with a curved screen!

I would recommend the 27“ WOLED Monitor from last year. For example the PG27AQDM or other brands with the same panel. You can get the AOC version for 680€ (2560x1440p 240 Hz).
Yeah the PG27AQDM was our previous favourite before the new 360Hz models
@@tftcentral Is the new Dell better then the PG27AQDM?
I am asking because I just bought the ASUS yesterday. I thought the „true“ OLED would be better for its perfect black I am just playing MORPGS and don’t really care about the 360hz cause I will never reach them 😂
let's buy them all
Great video, but the MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED monitor is impossible to buy for now T.T I'm hoping they find one in the store.
Yes stock is very limited right now. The MAG equivalent is worth a look too and more readily available. Info here tftcentral.co.uk/news/differences-between-the-msi-mpg-271qrx-and-mag-271qpx-explained
@@tftcentral Do you think it is worth buying the MAG? When there is a difference of only $50 and with firmware that cannot be updated and other things. :v
@christiansolis6538 prob not enough of a saving to make that worthwhile unless you want to buy something now and not wait for the slow trickle of stock on the MPG model
Sir, why is it that no one is reviewing the LG27GS95QE-B the newer version of the GR model released like 1year ago? Has 275nits and is a great panel?
LG seems very uninterested in sending review samples anywhere it seems
@@tftcentralyikes I ordered one in from Germany. Hopefully 🤞🏼 it’s decent

Dell 32 inch is better then the MSI. First, you can get 100$ off, so the price different is not huge. But Dolby vision, better Gsync/AMD support and the curve to me is much better.
Everyone who can't get a 321urx will say this lol. Curve is not better than flat, secondly I hope you enjoy permanent marks on your display from dells horrendous packaging. MSI also $100 steam card, and KVM, no screen marks, flat screen, cheaper.. your Dolby Vision is not worth it, the 321urx and g-sync works great. He's correct, MSI wins.
@@Qt33zy they fixed the packaging and I own both. I sent the MSI back. The GSync works better out the box and Dolby Vision is better. MSI will not have any Firmware support...ever. You keep watching videos to tell you what to do, I bought both, and will even try the LG, but the Alienware fits all my needs.
The MSI has already had one firmware update actually. But if you’re happy with the Dell, that’s great 😀
Should I wait for the MSI 27qrx or just go straight for the Alienware, with the burn in care MSI’s has it seems like it’d be a better choice. Hope it comes in stock again soon
Alienware hast the same burn in coverage
Same burn in coverage for the Dell. I’d probably base it on whether you need the added features that the MSI has or not tbh
No clue why people love 27” monitors.. have a 34” qd oled and never will go back to anything smaller
Depends on the games you play or the uses for the monitor. For competitive fps games 34 is far too large.
@@leemclaren2518 they have 34 and even 45” monitors pushing over 200 fps easily
@@Quin89 not getting your point.
Any news about the MSI *MAG* 271QPX? I think there is no firmware update ability, but I’m not sure 😅
It looks like the mpg model

Question I've recently got the MSI MPG 27QRX but it appears to have some microscratches but are only visible under a flashlight. Is this normal for OLEDs? Seen various posts on light scratches by several people on reddit and since you've tested more OLEDs would like to hear your thoughts on the matter.
It’s possible that it could be related to the manufacturing process and coating type of QDOLED, but if these are only visible with a flashlight, I really wouldn’t worry about it. It feels like looking for something that just isn’t an issue or will cause any problem in real usage
Alienware's latest QD-OLEDS had similar issues out of the box in their early batches. Some owners had bad scratching out of the box. They didn't have a proper protective layer on the screen and they were getting scratched when rubbing against the cover that it shipped in. Since they have fixed the issue. Wonder if the coatings are just a bit soft in general.
Corsair 45° is not qd oled its lg woled panel
Yes it is. I don’t think I said anywhere that it was QD did I? The pop up text on screen says WOLED
Hi,will we soon get 27/28 inch 4k oled monitors?

@@tftcentral tnx
there is the 57 inch samsung
There is, but it’s not an OLED 😀
PG32UCDM??
Very good screen but hard to justify the large price difference compared with the MSI in N America, and the Dell in Europe
I'm confused about the MSI MPG 321URX, has it actually launched in the United States yet? I've heard that it has launched and just sells out within 1 minute. But I've also heard it won't launch until mid April. Does anyone know? All the retailers just show auto-notify and "coming soon"
It’s launched just in very limited volumes so far. Some people have it already, I expect larger stock volumes soon
@@tftcentral Hey thanks for replying! I'm hoping to snag one, so I appreciate the info!
I just got the pg42uq a couple weeks ago and it is amazing (after getting the hdr firmware fix). I followed your guide on getting it set up nicely.
It feels like I'm a kid discovering video games and movies for the first time again
Awesome glad you’re enjoying it 😀
So MSI mainly "wins" because it is cheaper. Fair enough.
It’s an excellent screen but you can’t ignore that huge price difference in N America. Hard to recommend any of the others ahead of that with their current pricing. The Dell and Asus models we’ve reviewed are also excellent screens
@@tftcentral No you're absolutely right. If the other monitors are pretty similar specs and feature wise, then it will come down to price. The cheaper one will always be recommended in that case. I personally pick the one that meets my need and preference. If it is the one that happens to be $200 more, then so be it. In truth, you can't go wrong with any of these monitors.
@soccersensation agreed. Just go with whichever has the features you need. They’re all great
