this review sucks... this china monitor reviewer " @user-cl4bf9cn2f " much pro than him...
i don't even see the monitor in his link.
Dude, I love how you put both monitor on different desk.. and still manage the color harmony.
good for ps5 only ? help pls
@@scufnino9153 overkill but if you can afford it why not
9:14 I guess weird sub-pixel layouts are just going to be the norm for OLED monitors. Microsoft REALLY needs to update Cleartype to account for all of them.
Microshit will never update it
@@GewelReal very funny
@@GewelReal ofc they will. Microsoft love doing useless shit in os to make it run even worse.
Yes even the Alienware oled 21:9 that HW Unboxed reviewed had the same layout, and it wasn't optimal for text clarity.
the weird thing is, LG uses normal RGB OLED panels for their professional monitors but opted to use their wrgb tv panel tech for this one
The quality of this video was incredible. Thank you for spending your time on this.
so stoked to see OLED breaking into the mainstream gaming monitor market, will be excited to pick one up sometime later this year. great review as always man!
dont this one is garbage. wait until others are released
@@Blox117 Agreed. This is the first wave. I would definitely wait till end of year and re-evaluate.
Agreed. , personally ill wait for black friday sales, way too expensive atm at least here in Northern Europe
@@Blox117 this is for competitive fps, not for content creators
@@rarinth it fails at that too
I love how you brakedown every single value,downfalls and specs. I don’t know if anyone do it better. Your channel is my go to every time when I’m interested in staff like this. Great work! 🏆
good for ps5 only ? help pls
breakdown buddy, keep that English in check!
@@scufnino9153 Overkill for ps5. Ps5 can get you only to 120 fps this one have double that. More for PC enthusiasts
I’ve had the Alienware QDOLED for almost 5 months now and I couldn’t imagine going back to an IPS display. It completely changed the gaming experience.
Any burn-in?
@@ou1814 Burn-in takes YEARS to develop.
@@triniplayer6172 there are some people who have burn in with this monitor but they all have the brightness maxed out or use the monitor in hdr for desktop use. There is just no getting around this fact and I own 3 OLEDs including the Alienware - any OLED panel must be used carefully to maintain longevity- in desktop hide icons and taskbar, use black background and keep brightness under 50% and only use HDR when watching Fullscreen movie or gaming and use the window settings to lower brightness of desktop graphics when in hdr. If you don't want to do this then don't buy an OLED get MiniLED or wait for MicroLED
@@ms3862 bro that sounds like torture
honestly IPS glow and backlight unformity issues added onto the dogshit contrast is what makes the jump SO big. OLED panels are so much more consistent in their presentation and dark scenes actually are pleasant to look at.
With every new vid of you I'm always amazed by the increasing volume of your hair and you never disappointed me even once.
haha I ctrl+f for "hair" and sure enough someone already commented on it
Most anticipated video for sure, thank you so much for these.
Update: the overshoot is no longer anything above 0.4% average, they put a firmware update about 7-8~ish months ago! Cheers!
Really looking forward to your long time use update. The risk of burn in is pretty much the only reason I am holding out on buying an OLED monitor.
Bro there is hardly any risk. It’s super super rare
@@guy5140 Trust there are still risk. I own an oled myself..
@@guy5140 well bout monitor i donno but on mobile the screen burns and get yellower day by day as material is organic
Especially if you use this monitor at 100% brightness like him, you'll have burnnjn in no time
@@califorupha1574 I own 3 OLED tv's and I've had 0 issues with burn-in the past 6 years.
1 of them is my LG C9 which is running the same news channel all day long in my office .. There is NOTHING to see at all.
Same goes for my CX and C1.
Man, that Zowie is still really something.
I just went from 1 month use of the Zowie and switched to this OLED today and immediately I noticed how bad the perceived motion blur on this OLED is compared to the 360hz Dyac. The difference is night and day. I feel like every FPS game has motion blur on but it’s just the absence of Dyac on this OLED that makes me feel that way.
I think 240Hz OLED is clearer.
360Hz 2566 is smoother. right?
and I have a Q.I have a pg27aqdm. And I feel that 240hz is not enough. In that case, do you think I should give up the response speed and move to DYAC 360hz?@@mosesbrambila
Thanks for pointing out color mode C1. I was just using HDR mode for everything since it has better colors.
Hey Ali, I think you forgot to leave the settings you're using in the description. As far as I can tell, you need to turn energy saving off, enable gamer profile 1 and set colour profile to C1? Were there any other settings you changed that you didn't go over in the video?
did you figure it out?
If you're coming from a +5 years old 26", 1080p LCD Panel the jump is mind blowing!
Finally the godfather of panels! Thanks Optimum for finally posting! As always well done and much appreciated!
4k 240hz oled will be my next screen, i want to be able to play in 1440p 240hz esports but also 4k variable refresh RPG
Only 240Hz??
Crying at 60 hz and full hd 😭😂
Wht game was he playing
The time and effort that you put into each video and review is like no other. I do wonder how these two monitors compare to the Samsung Odyssey Neo G8? Keep up the great work!!
I have both. Just depends Neo g8 is better when it comes to brightness colors look better sometimes. Playing at night lg is the goat there.
Great review! Im waiting for the ASUS version to come out but also curious if we'll see 4k 27" and 32" OLEDs this year. Hopefully not friggin curved.
It will be the 2nd half of 2024. 4k brightness at 27, 32 pixel density is not at an acceptable level as of now.
@@5ean5ean22 1440p on 32"+ is perfectly acceptable
Whats the asus model?
@@mitsuracer87Haha, no.
I've been waiting for you to review this for so long. Amazing video!
Another amazing video! Can never go wrong with an Optimum review!
This is what I’ve been waiting for!!! Mine should be here soon, thank you! Coming from Asus 1440p 270hz OC version.
Always super high quality content from you, nice work.
I was waiting for OLED 27" panel for 1440p res for years ! ! I'm so happy this comes out. Can't wait to see the market comes with ASUS alternative and Viewsonic !
Ali always dropping the prettiest and most colorful tech videos !! keep em coming !! thank you :)
Nice review as always! Looking forward the 500Hz reviews, the IPS Dell Alienware AW2524H vs the TN Asus ROG Swift Pro PG248QP
I love how you have all this different sensors to test precisely 🔥
i was desapointed about the montion blur, but all the other things look flawless.
That’s just beyond crazy to me. Especially coming from an Oled panel
@@califorupha1574 No it's not. Most people just misunderstand eye tracking motion blur. Eye tracking motion blur is only reduced by shorter persistence = displaying the image for shorter time, which happens either by strobing the image or increasing refresh rate. Even if the 360hz LCD transitions more slowly and has more overshoot artifacts, it still reduces persistence by changing the image more often.
You should do more monitor reviews. Love them!
Amazes me how monitors and technology in general gets so thin but manages to look so good
I enjoyed this video so much. There was so much depth. I simply love to learn from this man. He's knowledgeable.
OLED is just OLED. If you've ever owned or used OLED, you know what I mean. The sheer snappiness of them is crazy, along with the mind-blowing blacks and just the overall superior visual experience.
I remember when my girlfriend first saw it, she was blown away by the quality and to this day she's now so spoiled by our 77" OLED that any time she sees pretty much any other TV it's "meh".
The review that I've been waiting for. Now will wait for the review and comparison between this LG and the Asus PG27AQDM. As always, great video!
Leider wird der Asus keinen HDMI2.1 Anschluss haben und das finde ich total unverschämt für 1200€! Ich als ps5 Besitzer benötige hdmi2.1 ansonsten brauch ich keine ps5. Und deshalb freue ich mich auf den LG Monitor wo für mich günstiger und deutlich bessere Anschlussstellen bietet!
@@babopalabo7897the ASUS is only better for brightness which PC users will prefer over HDMI 2.1
This guy puts every tech reviewer to shame amazing content
just bought it, its so great! A game changer for gaming. The pixel arangement rarely bothers me during browsing and the gaming experience is amazing!
Hell yeah I just bought too!
@@deadboyayep8188you play on console ?
@@deadboyayep8188oled burn ins easy? Or nah
They are using that awful 8500K whitepoint to get more brightness, it's a scam. Because once you use the correct 6500K white point the max brightness also decreases.
😂😂 good one bud
@@ThisIsExile91 That's literally why they do it, try it on your own monitor. Change the whitepoint to something low like 2500K and use 100% brightness.
good for ps5 only ? help pls
@@scufnino9153 if you’re asking if this monitor is good for ps5 then I’d say no it’s a bit overkill and would be better if you saved your money for something better suited.
@@scufnino9153 maybe an asus rog XG438Q ? It’s 4k and 120hz
Been waiting for this! Great review as always.
just got this monitor and man what a difference. Gaming looks so crisp and clean on it, and i know this is gonna be a weird thing to throw out, but anime look absolutely amazing with it.
I've been reading some negatives about anime on oled, where the quick responsetime will cause stutter on low fps content. I should get the refresh on this monitor later today and I'm a bit worried, did you change any settings for better viewing experience in the past three months?
@@renegeeder i havent noticed any of the issues.
What are your display settings?
@Reyeston007 sorry swap it out for the MSI 4k OLED so I can't remember. Try looking at Rtings, that's where I normal go for monitor settings.
Youre by far the top gaming monitor reviewer on the internet. Its not even close.
yay new episode
I pre-ordered back in December hoping because the white sheet was amazing! I was not disappointed, super happy.
I have this monitor, my only complaint is indeed the subpixel layout causing general text reading to feel odd. I've been using Windows ClearType to mitigate it, but it still isn't perfect.
Oh, also, where are the monitor settings in the description?
For me text hasn't been an issue really...
Yep, sent my aw3423dwf back due to this. It sucks.
Maybe you've meant something else? ClearType is exactly what causes that and it's enabled by default already (but disabling it probably isn't an option either -- pixel density is too low).
Thanks for your Info. Is it More noticeable in Microsoft word? I usually do lots of writing stuff.
wish the ultrawide was higher res but man OLEDs are finally making an appearance in high refresh desktop monitors
I picked up the XG27AQM about 2 months ago and it's been unbelievable so far compared to my old 1080p 120 Hz xbox graphics. Haven't been able to fully utilize the 270 Hz overclock yet because RDNA 3 drivers are kinda mid still, but this OLED looks unbelievable side by side with the IPS. OLED for gaming scares me because of the constant HUD potentially being burned in, but if they can really hammer down on it to keep that from happening, I might make the jump next year and sell my IPS...
I mean with things like pixel shift and pixel cleaning and dimming; I can't see how there will be much burn in unless you just play games all the time and always the same ones.
@@Jimster481 Kovaaks for 3 hours haha
Top tier production on these videos every time.
Well I can't complain about my LG OLED C1 with under 1ms response time! Could keep that my whole life time.
7:24 look at his biceps that make me want to the gym 🔥
Dude i was thinking in morning when you going to upload video?
Insanely high quality video, thanks for the testing work!
This new oled panels look so amazing and so crisp, I can't wait to get my hands on one of those displays and play CSGO at 1280x960 4:3 stretched with all settings on low.
Why then even bother to use an oled if your gonna play on that resolution. There are far cheaper IPS panels that runs great. But hey if u want it then purchase it 👍🏻
The CRT's are back in the Modern way.😍
Solid review. Pretty much covered all the important bits of information all the stuf i wanted to know. Thx!
man i hope they start making better 4k monitors
there are already excellent 4K monitors
@@GewelReal yeah but better ones
first world problems
like 27" 4K oled 240Hz MONITOR
@@zet7914 this >>>
Amazing video, loved the tests and graphs. Top quality and extremely informative :)
Seeing stuff clearly with that OLED panel is way more of an advantage than gettin 1ms of response time.
Diminishing return from 240 to 360hz refresh rate isn't as good as the upgrade from IPS (or other panels) to OLED.
I will be buying that LG monitor in the future for sure.
Wait. Expecting more qd oleds to come this year
@@anuzahyder7185 Yeah, pity they are all going to be bullshit curved ultrawide as Samsung doesn't plan other monitor screen sizes for this year. Nothing to wait for then.
@@RJ-vy4yd I want 27 inches MAX, not curved and minimum 240hz.
Let's see what the market will offer this year.
for 1080 yes, its wiser to aim for more specs, but bigger means more reso that also different experience in gaming and video playback
The OLED has 0.28ms of response time…what are you talking about? 🤣
Glad you mentioned the text - I hope the improves soon.
i wish one day i can update my 60hz monitor to smth like that, amazing
I know CES is a month away but I snagged this monitor for $719.99 usd. Not really interested in 4k since im running a 4070ti but 1440p 240hz seems like the sweet spot.
Hey is this monitor working with ClickMonitorDDC ?
I constantly change my brightness during the daylight and at night time.
I don't want to hassle with OSD. I can just hover to brightess icon at system tray and adjust it with mouse wheel.
Was thinking of ordering one of these? would you still recommend it after having one?
@KyleKhaos for the price ingot mine for? Yeah definitely. The hp omen 4k 240hz monitor looks nice but no price targets for it yet. I'm assuming all these new monitors will cost 1k plus and I don't think it's gonna be hundreds worth more than this monitor from lg that's already out.
LG OLED is really good and next year it will be better especially the brightness and pixel layout.
wow bro all these tests blowed my mind great job
Damn this is promising. Can’t wait till the 4K version comes
The level of quality in your videos is on another level. You are my go to for tech info on new stuff
In SDR I have like 25% brightness on my LG C2 OLED, 100% burns my eyes.
In HDR its 80%
really liked the shots where you color matched the lighting of the map with the light bar 3:41
Really appreciate how much effort you put on every single video like after watching the video do i have any questions no not at all, all the points you make and explain is just so perfect, it's been around 2 years now since i am following you.. and every single video is just so knowledgeable and high quality, it just satisfying to watch for me.. thank you for sharing the passion with us
The HUGE problem of OLED displays is flickering. They use PWM to control the light brightness and not DC dimming so many people will feel nausea, headaches, and migraines and more. Even thoose that deal better with that will have their health affected in other ways.
Damn your monitor reviews have become SO GOOD!
9:25 It's actually an RWBG sub pixel layout(same as the LG 42 C2 OLED), meaning Red, White, Blue then Green.
Just ordered this bad boy. Should be here friday. Will be paired with my rtx 3080/5900x. Last time I gamed on an oled was with my lg c1 before I switched to PC. Very excited!
I have the older non oled version of this monitor (32” 1440p 240hz), and it’s hands down the best monitor I’ve ever owned. Can’t even imagine how good this oled version is
7:25 Ali exhibiting high resolution bicep gains.
What scaling mode in the LG monitor OSD did you use when testing monitor delay? (full wide/original/just scan), full wide felt more responsive for me
GPU or display scaling in NVCPL?
Was VRR/adaptive sync enabled or disabled?
Are you using HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort? Is DSC enabled, and what colour depth are you using in NVCPL?
Thank you
Wow I’m exactly where you were, full wide favor as well. Did you ever figure out the perfect combination?
Gaming OLED monitor was my dream monitor, finally is available
OLED is harking back to crt roots almost where you get this 'natural' depth in the picture.
Bro you are so smart I just realized this
@@rashadvsyou gamers understand you see lol
Top notch review!
This will definitely be my next purchase, thanks! 😎
Best review of this monitor ive seen thus far. Cant wait till my local Microcenter gets it in stock
you can try fixing the subpixel layout problem by tweaking cleartype
no u cant
It doesn't help much
how would you go about fixing it?
Once Oled panels can do 240hz at 4k ill make the switch until then I'll stick with my 240hz 4k Mini Led Samsung . I feel like we are close though so I'm excited!
so you gonna play eSports games are 4k res ? GL
Where’s the setting you said you would leave in the description?
I'm watching this from an lg oled gaming monitor and let me tell you everything is superb
If you play an eSports title with uncapped frames, would the LG OLED still beat out the 360Hz IPS in terms of overall responsiveness?
Nah. The image response for the 360hz Zowie is king but the LG is definitely incredible in quality.
You forgot to post the settings you were using for the monitor!
10:10 ...I like how the OLED crosshair actually stands out against the background while the IPS crosshair just seems to blend in.
I was afraid of his conclusion. I have both of these atm and it's a hard choice for sure
First gen OLEDs monitors are looking very promising, but I will wait for 2nd/3rd gen monitors.
Also I don't want to go back to 1440P so it's 4K and above.
4k for gaming is shit, too low fps
You know, funny thing is I just watched your video of you being excited about testing this out😊
LG considers burn ins as improper usage and their warranty does not cover it.
Read manual and think twice before buying it.
are you going to review the ASUS PG27AQDM OLED 27 1440P 240hz soon to compare/vs with this LG one?
Still waiting for the triple platinum
1) OLED
2) 4K
3) 240Hz
Ali, Solid camera work as usual. Appreciate the dedication for our well earned currency
I'll wait for the 4K version of this. I'm still happy with my Samsung G7 1440p 240hz VA Panel. I'm not upgrading to the same resolution lol
your testing are next level!
Hopefully some 32in options come out, as I'm looking to get an upgrade from the 32gp850
samsung neo g8 oled will be 32'' 240hz.
however dunno bout the quality and I don't go above 27'' at all
Really glad you mentioned bad text because I definitely need extremely good text quality.
Loving this monitor so far, I get its preference but didn't understand why so many people hated the matte coating.
Matte coatings typically blur the image slightly and decrease color saturation.
yeah nothing to worry bout on this monitor, its great with the matt coating!
You should check out the QDOLED monitors from Samsung/Alienware
what are the setting for the monitor ??
Great review. Thanks! Looking forward to your "after x hours this is now my impressions" video like what happens with burn in.
Lol, what you said around 7:35 😂 - you're so right!
I have the PG27AQN and play with power saver mode on and have it set to 0 brightness! So, the OLED panels are most definitely bright enough even without the solar flare strength that the Asus monitor has, haha.
200 nits full fill brightness doesn't sound great, but trust me on LG OLEDs. If you use HDR, it is STUNNING. The reason for this is because you're only lighting small sections of the screen, so those sections are much brighter than 200 nits. It's jaw dropping.
200 nits is 200 nits, who you wanna cheat?
yeah I was like bro just turn on HDR, OLEDs are designed to use it
200 nits is only the limit when the whole screen is fully lit. Individual pixels can peak at 1000 nits
Ah I see, thanks for the info.
My display got brighter over the first 2 weeks now it’s very usable during the day and I keep it 90% max and I’m happy with Cato
