The panel obviously can handle 4k 480Hz … I just wished DP caught up. Would be so future proof if you could run this panel at full res and full frequency at the same time.
get whatever cheaper in this case. Both are good monitor. right now the lg is cheaper than asus by 100 dollar during this time. Also look at the stand of whatever suit your desk. The Lg stand you can put a controller and game cases or a keyboard on it since it flat. While the asus stand it like a legs sticking out on each sides could cause some problem for some desk that not long enough. And last what features you like from the monitor.
This channel is underrated. This is by far one of the best reviews and comparison on the internet, and very honest too. I have one question which wasnt mentioned or I missed, does the LG's brightness change when ie scaling a white notepad window? I know the ASUS one has a brightness uniformity option. From what I understood in the monitor battle, the LG is slightly better for color correction/editing and design work due to the text clarity and sub pixel layout and calibration options?
Glad you found it useful. The LG model operates with a uniform brightness behaviour in SDR too you’ll be pleased to hear. The text clarity is the same between both models as they use the exact same panel but the Lg does have more versatile calibration support via the hardware calibration function that the Asus lacks, yes
This LG panel is fantastic. I hope the dual refresh rate technology keeps improving and we see a 1440p option with high refresh rates added in the coming years. For now, LG doesn't seem to have that on their roadmap which is a bit disappointing which makes me wonder how long this tech will stay in the industry before abandoning it.
I have this LG panel too, and after trying 32", 4K, 240hz QD OLED (FO32U2P) I actually think the 32GS95UE is the best 32" 4K OLED on the market right now. It's an incredible screen, and I love how it can sustain black levels in basically any lighting condition, something the QD OLEDs really can't do.
Asus PG27AQDP. In the latest optimumtech video he mentions how a review sample of a 1440p 480hz oled should get to him soon. Must be that asus, or the Acer Predator X27U F3, or some other brand using the same panel.

Great test, lots of useful information. Could you relate your impressions of the tested monitors to the Samsung LS32DG802SUXD? Is it the same level and the choice comes down to differences in socket type hardware options?
The Samsung G80 is quite different as it uses a 32” 240Hz QDOLED panel instead of the WOLED panel used on these two screens. We’ve got a review of the Samsung on our website though 😀
The 4k 60hz input lag on Asus looks really bad, but since I play mostly isometric games turned based combat games maybe that wouldn't matter for me? Everything otherwise looks great for the Asus.
I have a question, and I don't think anyone is talking about it but the 'color temperature control' setting in AMD's gpu software is on by default and completely ruins colors from what i can tell (even with custom color disabled (need to toggle 'custom color' to enabled then disable 'color temperature control'). Turning this off appears to fix washed out hdr and looks way more realistic. And even in SDR mode, it fixes colors in a completely opposite way, colors looked really oversaturated to me when windows is in sdr mode until i disabled this setting. Someone here know about this? Has anyone tested this setting? (I'm using the 32gs95ue)
@tftcentral Does SPDIF output means I can connect console like PS5 directly to monitor and still get HDMI sound out to an external 5.1 speaker system using DTS or any other encoding supported by the console? Or would that be only 2CH sound? Currently I am using some HDMI extractor for that, but it does not support VRR or anything more than 60Hz, which is a common problem. If that would work using ASUS SPDIF out it would be far better option than some integrated speakers on LG model.
Hello, in my region, the ASU’s monitor more expensive than the LG ASU’s is 1400$ Lg 1200$ Msi 1250$ So it’s worth it to take the ASUs monitor.

they stand tall...I have in front the Samsung G80SD...also matte coating...not such a deal...we can argue about QD OLED 3rd gen having maybe a maximum of 5% more sharpness, but the feeling about seeing it can be subjective. So, coming back to these 2 ones, they offer 480 hz in 1080p....an equal of around 700 Hz on a LCD, at least...that is one of a feature. For those who never played competitive gaming that is a HUGE difference. Never believe all the liers that say your eyes will not see the difference between 120, 240 and 480 hz. That's a huge LIE. Maybe your eyes won't see it , but your brain will feel it. There is better motion clarity at 480 Hz and better input lag, even the difference to the last one being minimal. But the motion clarity will have a huge impact on the time you will see action in front of you, giving you the suplimentary miliseconds to kill your enemy. Obviously, a monitor with 480 Hz can't make a player out of a noob, but can REALLY make his play a decent one. You must see it to believe it.
@@interceptor001 No, it can't be fixed. It's a flaw of the panel. I'm not talking about banding, this is something like vertical scan lines or pixel inversion or dynamic interlace pattern artifacts.
@@User-ys7cb Ok I can definitely not see that on my screen normally I can make stuff like that out instantly. Banding is even worse on the WOLED so that should not be an option for you. Probably go MiniLED?
@@interceptor001 I don't have many options left to be honest. VA panels are even worse if you are sensitive to scan lines from my experience. Mini LED IPS is often too slow or has other issues.

The WOLED Asus could be a decent option, although it's too expensive for what it is. I love everything about the Samsung, but I won't accept these scan lines or whatever this is. I wish I hadn't looked so hard for it. I also thought at first that my panel wasn't affected.
@@tftcentralah, I thought the asus was qd. I’ve been trying to find one that can do 27 inch without lowering the resolution. Does the asus do that? I tried the lg, the 480 mode is garbage and doesn’t work in a lot of games.
@@tftcentral Thank you a lot for your response! That sounds promising. 😄 I am considering the PG32UCDP as an upgrade from my PG42UQX, but right now I am not gaming that much at all, but need it for work (coding). The 42‘‘ is just too big for neck health and doesn’t have the best text clarity. I shortly tried the LG27GR95UM, 27‘ miniled, but didn’t like the coating and slow miniled response times. The Quantum Dot colors looked really nice! I am also considering the upcoming Asus ProArt PA27JCV 5K 27‘‘, since I want to connect both my PC and Mac. Mac works better with 5K. Curious about their new LutPixel mate coating. We don’t know anything about price/availability. Not sure how much I like 60 Hz… but I guess it is mostly OK for work. I also checked out the Apple Studio Display, but the glossy screen is just too distracting to me. The nano coating version had horrible text clarity, even for 5K resolution. Really not easy! Do you think the new ProArt display are worth their wait?
Le PG32UCDP est il Nvidia Gsync sur HDMI est validé svp? Car sur le LG 32GS95 il ne l'ai pas!!! Uniquement en Display port! et dans windows il est bien reconnu hdr 1300 et non 603 comme le Lg 32GS95? Merci pour vos réponses. Cdlt Nicolas
i have G6 oled samsung QD no text clarity issue. Like people were saying nonstop there is issue with text clarity it even looks better than my g7 or benq zowie when i had,
text clarity is once....text fringing is another...al QD OLED even 3rd gen has a lot of fringing...I can't stand that. LG C3 that I have in comparison, doesn't have it. I had the SAMSUNG G6 and the GYGABUTE FO32U2 on the same table as the LG C3. In Ofiice application like, beats both hands down. If you have progressive glasses, you notice it even harder.
I just picked up the LG monitor this weekend. I mostly play Valorant and League of legends. My question is, should I be playing Valorant on the 480Hz setting or should I just leave it on the 4k 240Hz refresh rate? I've only had the monitor for a day. I'm running a 3070 graphics card.
That entirely depends on your competitive level, what frame rate you can reach and whether you favour image quality and details (4k mode) or pushing frame rates (480Hz mode)
I have the PG32UCDP and I get black screen for 2-5sec. Every time I tab out of a fullscreen game or change any settings in the osd. Does anyone got a solution for that? I found many people with the same issue and that’s really not good for a 1500€ monitor…
If you’re an NVIDIA user then that’s common on any monitor which uses DSC to power the res/refresh rate when you tab out of a game. If supported, playing in borderless windowed mode from NVIDIA settings can avoid that. Not sure what would cause it to do that every time you change any setting in the OSD, that doesn’t sound right at all. It might do it for some settings like turning adaptive sync on or off, or switching the dual mode setting, but not for EVERY setting (eg brightness level)
@@tftcentralfirst of thanks for your answer: yea I use an 4090. the blackscreen is not on every setting only on HDR or VRR or Frame rate boost and that stuff. But the bigger problem is the game tab out. And if I use frame rate boost in a game, the game moves to the second screen and it’s not possible to move it back. In general the frame rate boost option is difficult to use because of that issues. Don’t get me wrong, the Panel is just amazing and worth every doller. But I’m sad the it’s not working as good as my old monitor in functionality
@0Freezy- those setting changes are normal since the screen is switching in a major way between different modes. You’ll find that on pretty much every modern monitor and it’s not really linked to DSC. the alt tabbing delay is an NVIDIA bug with their handling of DSC, needed to power a top end spec like this. Sounds like you have a second monitor connected too? To stop the game being sent to second screen I would maybe switch to that mode in windows first before you load the game, then check in display panel that this is still the primary monitor, then start the game. It might be getting confused if you’re enabling that setting later once game has started
Hello my friend, sorry for my English, I know it's not very good I hope you can understand me and read my comment, you could make a comparison video of the ASUS. ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM vs ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP would be a good comparison to know what type of monitor is best if woled or qd oled 3 gen Greetings from Spain
hello, thanks for video, lg : have resolution 1440p 240 hz ? , because this manual not listing so all r 1080 / and 4 k in240 hz , thanks, for example warzone/fortnite
So I purchased the MSI MPG321URX and it looks amazing BUT I think the monitor is making me sick. I turned the brightness down too. I didn’t feel this way when I briefly had my 39 inch LG WOLED. Is it possible QD OLED is causing me issues? My Samsung QD OLED Tv downstairs doesn’t bug me but the monitor seems to.
Using the latest QD-OLED generation (tested with Gigabyte FO32U2P) for work is nearly impossible. Green pixel lines over every letter and window. Does the new WOLED generation tested here have the same problems?
Either you must have a very keen eye, or something must be wrong or configured wrong to notice that on these 32” 4K panels. The WOLED shouldn’t suffer from the same effect as they have a different layout but whether or not you notice other issues is hard to say
You wouldn’t hear it over either of those things, it’s super quiet. It’s mentioned only for those who have super silent systems and obsess over these things. If you’re gaming and have speakers or headphones you’d never hear it

Hi, could anyone tell me if the Asus also feature CPC (Convex Power Control) like the LG does? This causes heavy vignetting, making the LGGS95UE I just bought absolutely unusable for visual work ( like CGI, Photo Editing etc..). The LG, even with Peak Brightness Off (so max 270 Nits with no ABL) will still create massive vignetting anyway!. It's brutal in my opinion. Thanks to anyone who can answer.
@@tftcentral THANK YOU !! :- ) I know of the service menu, but even Sleep resets it.. and that's no way to function daily. It's crazy I never see this mentioned, but I tested in 3dsMax, Photoshop, etc.. in all these software I only use "Framebuffer" that covers 25perc. of my screen, and the gradient isn't just in corners, it's like 70perc. of the screen. I know this is gaming monitor, but still.. the LG cannot be used for any visual work. I am so disappointed in this product.
Meta 2.0 is a suite of technologies really aimed at the OLED TV space. Some of those technologies like MLA+ for instance are applicable for monitor panels.

Just got the asus one and the setting for oled anti flicker is grayed out when using hdmi 2.1. But when i switch to DP 1.4 its accessable? Using included cables and a 7900xtx.
@@tftcentral No change after swapping the cable. Either Asus has blocked the OLED anti flicker setting for the HDMI 2.1 ports or I am the single crazy user who attempted using the HDMI ports. I know this is a new monitor but there is ZERO mention of this issue anywhere.
Really appreciate your videos. As always my go to when in need of new monitors. Damn i can really really not decide between the PG32UCDP or the Odyssey G80SD. I have the LG27GR95QE-B and i wish to go bigger and 4k and preferably fan less. Matte coating is a must for me. I would like the colours to pop more than my current monitor so that points toward the Odyssey but i am however not really a gamer and only sitting in a dark room 50% of the time. Sometimes with lights turned on in the office and it really worries me that the black can turn grey/purple if its not a dark room per se because i dont want to exchange better colours in some situations for blakc turning grey/purple instead so that however points me towards the PG32UCDP.. Hmm how the hell do i decide? :-D
@@tftcentral Yes that is definently true. Will the colours seem to "pop" more now it is 4k compared to my LG 27GR95QE you think? Or would i need to go to the QD-OLED to experience this? Also one last question - Is there no ambient light on the back of the screen like there is the G80SD and LG 32GS95UE?
The image will be sharper and clearer because of the better pixel layout and higher density but the colours won’t pop any more as the colour space is very similar to your current screen. Although it also depends what mode you’re using your current screen on! Yes there’s an RGB lighting feature on the back. The Asus Logo bit
@@tftcentral Thanks a lot you are always a big help. I am curious about how much light is needed in a room to affect a QD-OLED matte screen like the Odyssey G80SD. My room isnt super bright it just isnt blacked out but it would really annoy me if the colors started messing up
@mathiasweinreich1100 it depends on the position of the light source too, but in general I’d say it is fine in a moderately lit room, but blacks do start to look more grey if light sources are in front of the panel and the room is brighter
ASUS wins in my book. Ive owned both. lg cant use vrr while using 480hz mode. ASUS can use it. Also, aspect ratio is a nice feature on a monitor. Asus also has some neat AI features. Better monitor in my opinion primarily for the settings and features.
I can't buy the Asus because the stand and the Logo Lip are horrific, I wish these manufacturers would do away with 'gaming' aesthetics. There is nothing like making a £1000 monitor look like something of aliexpress. Whelp, I'll have to wait for LG stock if it ever comes

It doesn’t seem to, no visible issues with it that we could see
The SPDIF output support for the PG32UCDP is better for console gaming.
That color tint looks like that because it’s a qd oled, it’s not the semi gloss coating. They can’t do true blacks like the woled.
What are you referring to here? Both these models are WOLED?!
@@tftcentralah, I thought the asus was qd. I’ve been trying to find one that can do 27 inch without lowering the resolution. Does the asus do that? I tried the lg, the 480 mode is garbage and doesn’t work in a lot of games.
@cuzr702 when you say “do 27” without lowering the resolution”, can you clarify what you mean? What are you looking for here?
@@tftcentral Switch the screen size to 27 inch without dropping down to 1080p.
How would it compare to a previous generation Asus OLED PG42UQX, which you also reviewed?
Especially in the text clarity section. Thank you 🙏
Much better text clarity as the pixel structure is improved and more importantly the pixel density is much better 😀
@@tftcentral Thank you a lot for your response! That sounds promising. 😄
I am considering the PG32UCDP as an upgrade from my PG42UQX, but right now I am not gaming that much at all, but need it for work (coding). The 42‘‘ is just too big for neck health and doesn’t have the best text clarity.
I shortly tried the LG27GR95UM, 27‘ miniled, but didn’t like the coating and slow miniled response times. The Quantum Dot colors looked really nice!
I am also considering the upcoming Asus ProArt PA27JCV 5K 27‘‘, since I want to connect both my PC and Mac. Mac works better with 5K. Curious about their new LutPixel mate coating.
We don’t know anything about price/availability. Not sure how much I like 60 Hz… but I guess it is mostly OK for work.
I also checked out the Apple Studio Display, but the glossy screen is just too distracting to me. The nano coating version had horrible text clarity, even for 5K resolution.
Really not easy!
Do you think the new ProArt display are worth their wait?
Hard to say about the ProArt Models to be honest, they’ve going to be very expensive I’m sure
Which monitor you prefer best for video color grading from these two?
No real difference tbh. The LG if you have a calibration device as you can then use hardware calibration
Le PG32UCDP est il Nvidia Gsync sur HDMI est validé svp? Car sur le LG 32GS95 il ne l'ai pas!!! Uniquement en Display port! et dans windows il est bien reconnu hdr 1300 et non 603 comme le Lg 32GS95? Merci pour vos réponses. Cdlt Nicolas
A lot of my game will be running in about 120fps so being ng able to turn on elmb should be fantastic!!!!!!!
i have G6 oled samsung QD no text clarity issue. Like people were saying nonstop there is issue with text clarity it even looks better than my g7 or benq zowie when i had,
text clarity is once....text fringing is another...al QD OLED even 3rd gen has a lot of fringing...I can't stand that. LG C3 that I have in comparison, doesn't have it. I had the SAMSUNG G6 and the GYGABUTE FO32U2 on the same table as the LG C3. In Ofiice application like, beats both hands down. If you have progressive glasses, you notice it even harder.
@@guttalexandrumihai9564 i have no fringing. My text clarity is fully white. No fringing.
I wish you put them side by side and have tested some games on them
You’ll only see the picture your phone provides. Don’t think it would help much
I just picked up the LG monitor this weekend. I mostly play Valorant and League of legends. My question is, should I be playing Valorant on the 480Hz setting or should I just leave it on the 4k 240Hz refresh rate? I've only had the monitor for a day. I'm running a 3070 graphics card.
That entirely depends on your competitive level, what frame rate you can reach and whether you favour image quality and details (4k mode) or pushing frame rates (480Hz mode)
Valorant and similar competitive games more rely on cpu for pushing heavy frame rates, decide for yourself based on how many frames your pc is getting
not after my experience will u want the proximity sensor
I have the PG32UCDP and I get black screen for 2-5sec. Every time I tab out of a fullscreen game or change any settings in the osd. Does anyone got a solution for that? I found many people with the same issue and that’s really not good for a 1500€ monitor…
If you’re an NVIDIA user then that’s common on any monitor which uses DSC to power the res/refresh rate when you tab out of a game. If supported, playing in borderless windowed mode from NVIDIA settings can avoid that.
Not sure what would cause it to do that every time you change any setting in the OSD, that doesn’t sound right at all. It might do it for some settings like turning adaptive sync on or off, or switching the dual mode setting, but not for EVERY setting (eg brightness level)
@@tftcentralfirst of thanks for your answer: yea I use an 4090. the blackscreen is not on every setting only on HDR or VRR or Frame rate boost and that stuff. But the bigger problem is the game tab out. And if I use frame rate boost in a game, the game moves to the second screen and it’s not possible to move it back. In general the frame rate boost option is difficult to use because of that issues. Don’t get me wrong, the Panel is just amazing and worth every doller. But I’m sad the it’s not working as good as my old monitor in functionality
@0Freezy- those setting changes are normal since the screen is switching in a major way between different modes. You’ll find that on pretty much every modern monitor and it’s not really linked to DSC. the alt tabbing delay is an NVIDIA bug with their handling of DSC, needed to power a top end spec like this.
Sounds like you have a second monitor connected too? To stop the game being sent to second screen I would maybe switch to that mode in windows first before you load the game, then check in display panel that this is still the primary monitor, then start the game. It might be getting confused if you’re enabling that setting later once game has started
@@tftcentral okay thanks I will try that : )
Hello my friend, sorry for my English, I know it's not very good I hope you can understand me and read my comment, you could make a comparison video of the ASUS. ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM vs ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP would be a good comparison to know what type of monitor is best if woled or qd oled 3 gen Greetings from Spain
One is QD-OLED, the other is WOLED. Which is best is a matter of personal opinion.
hello, thanks for video, lg : have resolution 1440p 240 hz ? , because this manual not listing so all r 1080 / and 4 k in240 hz , thanks, for example warzone/fortnite
Still waiting for a wqhd 32 inch oled 😌
I was about to choose Asus but as soon as i know they dont have calibration support it's the end for me haha THankssssss
So I purchased the MSI MPG321URX and it looks amazing BUT I think the monitor is making me sick. I turned the brightness down too. I didn’t feel this way when I briefly had my 39 inch LG WOLED. Is it possible QD OLED is causing me issues? My Samsung QD OLED Tv downstairs doesn’t bug me but the monitor seems to.
Hard to say but I’d suggest making sure you’ve set some appropriate settings. Try out guide video for that
@@tftcentral I did follow your guide and had it on office setting, I think. I can try to anti-blue setting and see if that makes a difference.
Had the same problem with the 32 qd oled alienware, sadly I loved it
Is it normal for the LG model to have a tiny slit in the bezel about an inch out from the bottom right corner of the screen?
Mine had that
Using the latest QD-OLED generation (tested with Gigabyte FO32U2P) for work is nearly impossible. Green pixel lines over every letter and window. Does the new WOLED generation tested here have the same problems?
Either you must have a very keen eye, or something must be wrong or configured wrong to notice that on these 32” 4K panels. The WOLED shouldn’t suffer from the same effect as they have a different layout but whether or not you notice other issues is hard to say
@@tftcentral me too... I have progressive glasses....it's so so annoying
Make sure Nvidia control panel in manage 3d settings are DEFULT use restore. Use some light on and if can use 100% brightness😊
If u mainly play with headphones, is the lg fan a problem? or is it just if u would play with the speakers
You wouldn’t hear it over either of those things, it’s super quiet. It’s mentioned only for those who have super silent systems and obsess over these things. If you’re gaming and have speakers or headphones you’d never hear it
@@tftcentral Ty man
What about in comparison to the UCDM does this have less glare as I have a big bay window behind me.
yes both these matte AG coated WOLED panels have better reflection and glare handling than the PG32UCDM's semi-glossy QD-OLED panel
@@tftcentral 1 MONTH on a returned my UDM i had the black screen issue to do with proximity sensor seems to be a well known issue with asus it kept going off during game play red light still on they alllowed me to rma it
Anti reflective screen coating the same grade on both ?
Yes identical. Compared side by side too
@@tftcentral Thanks.
Hi, could anyone tell me if the Asus also feature CPC (Convex Power Control) like the LG does? This causes heavy vignetting, making the LGGS95UE I just bought absolutely unusable for visual work ( like CGI, Photo Editing etc..). The LG, even with Peak Brightness Off (so max 270 Nits with no ABL) will still create massive vignetting anyway!. It's brutal in my opinion.
Thanks to anyone who can answer.
No it doesn’t suffer from that. You can turn it off on the LG via the service menu but it forgets that each time it’s powered off annoyingly
@@tftcentral THANK YOU !! :- ) I know of the service menu, but even Sleep resets it.. and that's no way to function daily.
It's crazy I never see this mentioned, but I tested in 3dsMax, Photoshop, etc.. in all these software I only use "Framebuffer" that covers 25perc. of my screen, and the gradient isn't just in corners, it's like 70perc. of the screen.
I know this is gaming monitor, but still.. the LG cannot be used for any visual work. I am so disappointed in this product.
I'll wait for the LG meta 2.0 display
Meta 2.0 is a suite of technologies really aimed at the OLED TV space. Some of those technologies like MLA+ for instance are applicable for monitor panels. But “waiting for META 2.0 displays” doesn’t really make sense for monitor panels

Just got the asus one and the setting for oled anti flicker is grayed out when using hdmi 2.1. But when i switch to DP 1.4 its accessable? Using included cables and a 7900xtx.
Strange maybe something to do with it thinking you’ve connected a console over HDMI. Just use DP 😀
@@tftcentral It's a head scratcher for sure. I'll try another cable as I've already done firmware updates and changing settings etc.
@@tftcentral No change after swapping the cable. Either Asus has blocked the OLED anti flicker setting for the HDMI 2.1 ports or I am the single crazy user who attempted using the HDMI ports. I know this is a new monitor but there is ZERO mention of this issue anywhere.
Anyone know when Asus PG32UCDP is coming out in UK?
It should be pretty soon but we’ve not been given a firm date from Asus
@@tftcentral ok, thank you :)

@@omdwillieturnip8840 yeah I've managed to get one already from Chillblast, they had them first in UK I think
My 3090Ti will cry once I connect it to this monitor.
IO HO UNA 3080 !
Really appreciate your videos. As always my go to when in need of new monitors. Damn i can really really not decide between the PG32UCDP or the Odyssey G80SD. I have the LG27GR95QE-B and i wish to go bigger and 4k and preferably fan less. Matte coating is a must for me. I would like the colours to pop more than my current monitor so that points toward the Odyssey but i am however not really a gamer and only sitting in a dark room 50% of the time. Sometimes with lights turned on in the office and it really worries me that the black can turn grey/purple if its not a dark room per se because i dont want to exchange better colours in some situations for blakc turning grey/purple instead so that however points me towards the PG32UCDP.. Hmm how the hell do i decide? :-D
You’ll find the Asus more similar to your current screen and it feels like that’s probably the safer bet considering your lighting conditions tbh
@@tftcentral Yes that is definently true. Will the colours seem to "pop" more now it is 4k compared to my LG 27GR95QE you think? Or would i need to go to the QD-OLED to experience this? Also one last question - Is there no ambient light on the back of the screen like there is the G80SD and LG 32GS95UE?
The image will be sharper and clearer because of the better pixel layout and higher density but the colours won’t pop any more as the colour space is very similar to your current screen. Although it also depends what mode you’re using your current screen on!
Yes there’s an RGB lighting feature on the back. The Asus Logo bit
@@tftcentral Thanks a lot you are always a big help. I am curious about how much light is needed in a room to affect a QD-OLED matte screen like the Odyssey G80SD. My room isnt super bright it just isnt blacked out but it would really annoy me if the colors started messing up
@mathiasweinreich1100 it depends on the position of the light source too, but in general I’d say it is fine in a moderately lit room, but blacks do start to look more grey if light sources are in front of the panel and the room is brighter
Definitely UCDP team
ASUS wins in my book. Ive owned both. lg cant use vrr while using 480hz mode. ASUS can use it. Also, aspect ratio is a nice feature on a monitor. Asus also has some neat AI features. Better monitor in my opinion primarily for the settings and features.
Did you return both? If yes why?
@@tivtag I kept the pg32ucdp. Kept it for the reasons mentioned. One of the biggest reasons I kept the ASUS zero VRR flicker even on loading screens.
Im planning on buying this Asus this weekend, does it worth it?
I can't buy the Asus because the stand and the Logo Lip are horrific, I wish these manufacturers would do away with 'gaming' aesthetics. There is nothing like making a £1000 monitor look like something of aliexpress. Whelp, I'll have to wait for LG stock if it ever comes

Where can I find your review Asus XG27AQDMG?
We haven’t reviewed it fully, but we tested the most interesting aspect of that model which is its glossy coating tftcentral.co.uk/articles/glossy-vs-matte-oled-panel-coatings-compared-including-the-asus-rog-strix-xg27aqdmg
@@tftcentral It worth reading.
Does this mean Lg doesn't have a heatsink and just a fan for active cooling?
Correct as far as we know
A glossy version would have been perfect. Poor decision going with matte coating on what should be a gaming focussed monitor with WOLED (best experienced with hdr and in a dark environment). Leave the productivity features for cheap lcd monitors that wont burn in...
How is the input lag at 480Hz?
It mirrors the 240Hz performance
@@tftcentral dumbass reply and incorrect. 480hz mode results in the same input lag measurement as the 500hz alienware 24.5'. Rtings tested this.
same performance as 500hz alienware 24.5
You shouldn’t believe everything you read at rtings 😀 their lag result at native 240Hz of 2.9ms should tell you something isn’t right 😉
If you want to continue to be able to comment and post here maybe don’t call people a dumbass
So both monitors offer 240hz screen, but cant handle above 120 hz at 4k? Am I misunderstanding something?
you are. they do 240hz with dsc.
Compare to Alienware Asus really not worth it :)
Its Asus disble gsync in 480hz dual mode?
You can disable Gsync in any mode, it’s not locked on in the OSD afaik, and you can always disable it from your NVIDIA control panel too
Nice to see Asus include ELMB 120hz mode and fan less w 3yr burnin in coverage but that price ouch.
Also weird it only does 60hz 4k w/o compression but I feel sorry for anyone that buys this and can’t run it at 120+
