Do you have any issues with eye strain with this monitor? I ended up returning my MAG 271QPX today. It makes me sad because it was the most beautiful monitor I've ever used. Amazing colors, black levels, motion clarity, refresh rate and responsiveness. But anytime I would use the monitor for more that half an hour, my eyes would start to get so unbelievably fatigued. Been using the monitor nearly every day for about a month and the eye strain just kept getting worse and worse, and it's felt like the eye strain has been hurting my vision even outside of using the monitor. Unlike any sort of eye strain that I've experienced before. I switched back to my LG-GP850 IPS monitor today, and I can instantly tell that the eye strain issues aren't there. I was just curious if you had any opinion / input about this.
That's a bummer, and I am sorry to hear that. I did notice a little eye strain, which is why I decided to decrease the brightness in sdr mode and also in gaming settings. I chalk it up to me getting old. I'm 47, and my eyes are definitely more sensitive than they used to be. I wish I included this in my video because I am sure there are many people in this situation than i might expect. Maybe people will see this comment and can be better informed of this possibility. Perhaps I'll do a follow-up video and cover this topic. At the end of the day, I think you did the right thing. If it bothered you that much, you are better off with the LG. Thanks for watching, and I appreciate the support. Cheers!
Seen user's of gen 3 panels (32"4k240, 27"qhd360) had eyestrain, but not on gen 1 qd-oled (34"qhd175). Maybe it has something to do with coating, because PWM behaviour is the same between all of them.
@4ikibrikivdamk3 I'll have to keep my eye on that. Just finished a long session. Not sure if it was from this post but my eyes definitely feel a bit he tired. Not sure if it is more than normal, but something to think about. I have a first gen qd oled. I may do a test to see if there is a difference.
@@Slyclientthetechdad i had eyestrain even from normal IPS monitor, so before blaming monitor, is better to optimise lighting conditions. Eyes don't like bright monitor, and complete darkness behind it, eyes don't like high contrast in dark room. So optimise lighting conditions in room to make back of the screen same brightness as monitor. PWM - interestingly it shows itself the most in dimmer brightness level - meaning higher the brightness, less PWM, less eyestrain.
hey I'm also experiencing this in my 4k 32 144hz Asus.... already adjusted everything but it's seemed I get fatigue faster. my temporary solution was to wear yellow anti blue glasses worked well for now... (edited) also using this eyedrops.. Neostigmine Methylsulfate Ophthalmic Solution
Worried about burn-in? Make the desktop taskbar auto-hide, set your wallpaper to be a dark animated screensaver-type background using programs like "wallpaper engine" (On steam) or "lively wallpaper" (in microsoft store), and set your PC to turn off the display after 20-30 minutes of inactivity. Should help ya feel a bit safer to own an oled. :)
Great video dude. I've got this monitor right now and I love it though I do prefer the 4K 32-inch model because I'm a ggraphics snob when it comes to gaming 🤣 And don't worry about the video quality, I'm also starting out in UA-cam with my iPhone and so I know the struggle. But you're already doing so much better than me so keep going
Thanks so much, I'm loving mine too. It's such a good panel. As for the channels, I'm sure if we both keep at it, good things will happen. I'm already meeting and chatting with some genuinely nice people, and that includes. Expect a sub from me. Cheers, and thanks for checking out my video.
@Sail0rGooN Nice! It's so cool that MSI provided that. I hear that the screen is basically the same. Good stuff, man. Thanks for taking the time to watch My video, I appreciate it.
Hi I am looking for a monitor like this to connect up to my Asus Rog will this work connecting my Asus up to the monitor? Also what equipment are you using behind your monitor please.
Hey thanks for watching. Does you can fefinitly hook an asus rog ally up to this monitor. You will need a docking station to do so to connect the Ally via usbc to the dock. From the dock you can connect an hdmi cable to the monitor. That's really all you need. JSAUX makes some really good ones designed to work with the Ally. You should check them out their website
Awesome, and congrats to you! You will love the MAG! Everything I've heard about it is that it is amazing as well. Also, thank you for the feedback and I appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Good luck in doing your research. I found the process fun. But When I saw the price of the MSI, KVM Switch, Full functioning HDMI 2.1 ports for gaming consoles. it made the choice easy for me. Even if I don't plan on using these features, it is nice to have. If you think about it, keep me posted on what you decide to do.
I feel the same way. I literally waiting for six months, hoping a 24 inch Oled would pop up. Once this came out, I had no choice to pull the trigger since 24 inches doesn't seem to be a priority for manufacturers these days.
That looks so good! But the constant worrying and maintenance about burn in is holding me back from getting an oled monitor. Especially playing an mmo wherein there are a lot of static icons on the screen is probably gonna burn it in even faster.
Hey, thanks for watching. As long as you make it a habit to do the maintenence and be proactive about it, you will be fine. If that isn't something you want to incorporate into your routine, I'd say pass. In my opinion, it's worth it but everyone's use case is different.
I've been using OLEDs since 2019, I stopped babying my TVs and monitors after 2022, I haven't had any of them burn in as I never have the same static image on them. Like another user suggested, you can hide the task bar, and change the wallpaper to a solid color for peace of mind. Having said that, nice video! First time seeing one, very enjoyable, gotta show love to us old timers lol. I've been thinking about getting this MSI, current set up I'm using an LG 27' OLEd 240hz and an Alienware curved oled 32 inch 240hz, but a 27inch 360hz for sweaty FPS shooters sounds delicious tho lol. Ugh.
@fkscreennames US old timers is right, brother! LoL Yes, there is so much chatter about burn in that I'm sick of it. Just do everything you just said and take care of your stuff, and you will be fine. Thanks for watching. I appreciate the support, man. Cheers!
They all use a similar screen. However, the thing that separates this one is the KVM switch, 90W power supply ports for charging your laptop or phone while the monitor is turned on. But I think the biggest separation is HDMI 2.1 ports. It supports full hdmi 2.1 capabilities for conne ting an Xbox and ps5 at full bandwidth. Many of the others you mentioned do not have these things.
@Warcity93 I'm usually ok, I only use it max 2 hours a day a night but others have mentioned that Oled does creat eye strain. There should be some others that commented on this topic below in the comments. Have you had this experience or looking to purchase your first OLED?
@@Slyclientthetechdad I am interested in having my first OLED monitor, but according to my logic I think that it will hurt my eyes more because of its saturated contrast and colors, I think this tires my eyes. I now have this IPS monitor ua-cam.com/video/3rS9H1USmBI/v-deo.html
@@Slyclientthetechdad **UPDATE** Yooo Unc I just got this mf for $599 off Amazon (the last 1😭🙏🏾), it’s new w/ a few minor scratches on the screen is that a W or L??
@@KAGUTSUCHIIIII think it is a big win. However, use it for a week or so to see if those scratches bother you. If they dont keep it. If they do, send it back
Yes indeed! The hdmi 2.1 port utilizes full bandwidth, unlike this monitor's competition, the Alienware AW2725df. These are the best two 360hz monitors at 27 inches. The hdmi 2.1 port on the Msi model is where it separates itself and becomes a better buying option. Plus, it's cheaper.
Great video, finally someone showing gaming and movies on screen in real time. Thank you, I've been looking at this monitor for a bit. I like how you got the GN coaster in there
@Dude3ro Thanks for watching. I noticed that lots of other reviewers never include movie footage. Thanks for the feedback. If I do more monitor reviews, I will be sure to include it.
My LG G4 came in the other day and I’m loving it; now looking to get an 27” OLED monitor for my PC setup and I believed you just convinced me to go with this one. Great video Slyclient!
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to watch. unfortunately no. I do plan on doing a follow up video on this topic. Most of my testing has been on games that are graphically demanding games. I plan on testing other games and dropping the panel's refresh rate down to 1080p and playing around with the settings. Perhaps I'll play some COD Warzone or CS GO on lower setting to see if we can get to that 360HZ. Id be surprised if any game could get up to 360 unless it is an indie title. Could be wrong though.
@joethelocator1161 usually between 120 and 200. That's for games I've been playing like Cyberpunk, and Returnal. Even higher with games like Doom Eternal. I tell ya, you're giving me some great ideas for new videos. LoL I needed to get this one out, but there is clearly more testing to do with it and the Dock and 4090. :)
@joethelocator1161 Mostly High settings. I usually feel like in most games you don't get your bang for the buck running at ultra but I will try that setting out too.
Hi there, thanks for watching. There are a variety of different settings in MSI Intellegence software that you can use with this monitor. There are many presets but you can also make adjustments to the brightness and contrast and all of the other typical settings. I usually just play with the settings and adjust to my liking. No real hard settings. Hdr mode you are limited on what you can change though.
Do you know how to uninstall firmware update I downloaded the 0.10 fm and now I can’t get 360hz and no hdr if there is anyone who can help it’ll mean a lot as I’ll be returning monitor if it can’t be rectified
@@Slyclientthetechdad yes I had the msi intelligence software but I deleted as it made it worse and wouldn’t save presets when I downloaded the gi is there no way where I can uninstall software
@@Slyclientthetechdad yes I am it all went down hill when I downloaded the firmware update everything seems locked I have tampered with settings and I can’t find any solution their is no video on yt showcasing how to uninstall firmwares
You need to use the MSI Intellegence software. You cant do it directly through the OSD button. To use intelligence, you need to connect the USB B port to your pc connected to the monitor. That's how you upgrade the firmware as well.
Im use to 4k but 1440p looking good at least by watching it through my tv.. i put youtube resolution on 1440p. Have u tried upscaling to 4k then downsampling back to 1440p? If so do u think that's good enough for even more immersion in single player games?
Hey, thanks for watching. Yes, I do that all the time. When I do it, it looks so good on this display, and the immersion is fantastic in single-player games. Sure, we all know 4k is more detailed in the structure of the picture, but this Qled Panel definitely makes up for it. It just pops off the screen. If someone were on a budget and couldn't buy a 4k model, this MSI is no slouch.
@@Slyclientthetechdad I appreciate the response.. I have a 4k MSI IPS monitor but want to upgrade to a qd oled but also was thinking about a 1440p which I know would be amazing for competitive but was concerned on whether or not it would be a perfect balance for the best of both worlds for single player games too.. BTW did u have it upscaled to 4k in this particular video?
@@504Trey Oh no problem at all man. I can chat about this stuff all day. LoL this video was filmed in 4k but all the gaming was set in game to 2560 x 1440. Still looks great right? That's why I've been blown away. In my opinion, I think this is definitly an option for you especially since you already have a 4k display, which I'm sure is still great. You could get a QD-OLED, enjoy all the benefits of the Oled experience, then, if you're like me, upgrade the 4k in a couple years. LoL However, if you can't wait, you can always go right for one of the 4k QD Oleds I don't think you need to. To be honest, I use it everyday, and the only time I think about it is either when I get question about it, or a friend brings it up. QD Oled no matter what the resolution is sick!!! Plus, not sure what system you are running it on but it's much easier to drive depending on your video card or console
@@Slyclientthetechdad I have a 4080 Super so gaming at 1440p native would be great when I'm playing competitive shooter games to take as much advantage of those 360 hz as possible & then when I play single player campaign story games I would plan to upscale it to 4k & downsampled to 1440p.. I may give that a shot.. U gave me the most feedback than I could get from any other channel so I can make my decision.. I know the bigger the channels are the harder it is to give a response to everybody though but some channels have less subs than u & still don't answer people lol.. I subbed to your channel & will watch more of your other content 👍🏾
@@504Trey Nice, that's a sweet card. I'm even more confident about your potential choice. Frame rates would be so amazing in those fps games that you won't even care about it not being 4k. LoL If you think about it, let me know how you make out. I starred this channel for fun. Just glad you think my advice could potentially help you at some point. Until then good luck to ya. Cheers!
The deciding factor was this monitor full bandwith hdmi 2.1 ports. Unfortunately, through my research, the Alienware model does not. It's advertised that way, but some other reviewers have done testing that proves it is not. I also liked that it had a KVM switch. Being able to use the monitor with multiple devices by just hitting one setting was huge for me. Are you planning on buying one? Both panels are basically the same. Just a few features that vary differently. You can't go wrong either way.
@@Slyclientthetechdad yeah bro, I thought it was only the Alienware with the 360hz oled panel.since your mentioned the kvm I might get the MSI instead, I have an acer monitor with the kvm and it comes in handy. Thanks for the reply.
@mart182003 No problem, anytime, I'll admit, I'm an Alienware fan. I wanted to buy their 360hz so bad. The MSI just offered a bit more. Good luck, and thanks for checking out ny video
@@Slyclientthetechdad enjoy this one, i heard you like collecting monitors but stick with the one you like the most using, msi gpu on msi monitor would be a great experience
I have this monitor arriving on Monday and I’m starting to get second thoughts about wanting 4k instead. It’s really a pain trying to find a decent 4k HDR monitor that isn’t an oled though. A $1200-$1300 4k oled just isn’t within my budget at the moment.
Nice, glad you were able to get a hold of one. At the end of the day, we all would like the highest resolution. However, this is one of the few products I've come across that will make you forget about that aspect. Your fps and color production from the display will male you forget about the lack of 4k. I hope you enjoy it. Cheers!
im still not very sure about the burn issues , OLED looks like an unfinished technology and all youtubers keep pushing it , its cool if your only gaming on it , otherwise , it is a waste. in six months getting burnings and calling for a relacement is not ok. my point. enjoy .
Thanks for chiming in. The Tech is definitely still in the early stages. If you are someone who prefers a prefers finished complete tech, I wouldn't get OLED. Although there are ways and best practices to minimize issue, burn in can still happen. I've owned them long enough to feel confident that it won't happen to me based in use case. But for someone like you who most likely would prefer it not be an issue, I would avoid it. You will just drive yourself crazy worrying about it all the time. I know this to be true because my LG C9 that I bought years ago drove me nuts when I was a new adopter. Cheers to you and thanks for watching my video
@@Slyclientthetechdad yes I agree , talking about oled all mostly depends on the use case as you say . In my case I work 9 hours straight on windows (coding , editing ) then study another 2 hours or so . Maybe thinking on the Apple studio display and keep my old 2k led for occasional gaming .
@@Slyclientthetechdad yes sir! I got the lg 34gs95qe-b. the MSI was locked with no firmware updates which was a deal breaker after I bought it. Love the content king
@shani9andri11 I returned the LG. It was not bright. Completely useless HDR. I could not see well playing Red dead online. Thinking about getting this MSI or wsit for the new 27" ASUS OLED with the glossy screen.
Brother you sound like 2008 Facebook videos, please buy a microphone for 20 $ , I could not sustain more than 30 seconds of it. Sorry and I wish you luck.
@zi9a Awesome! You won't regret it. Good timing, too. A new firmware just dropped improving the already great response time. Good luck, and if you have questions once you get it, give me a shout!
I have heard the same but I find it not to be be very noticeable. When playing story driven games I could care less. Competitive games are a different story. I have been playing a lot of Xdefinant and can't notice it there either. I don't have proper equipment to test it but to the naked eye, I don't see it as an issue. Keep in mind that there could be new firmware updates to this monitor as well. On of the biggest benifits it has over the MAG version. If there are issues, they could very well be resolved in future updates.
@@Slyclientthetechdad yup! I want a QD-OLED 4k monitor but its super hard justifying dropping $1k or more on a monitor, i do have a 4090 and a IPS 4k which looks okay but i paid $700 like 4 years ago which was also wayyy too expensive i just wanted to game at 4k
Do you have any issues with eye strain with this monitor? I ended up returning my MAG 271QPX today. It makes me sad because it was the most beautiful monitor I've ever used. Amazing colors, black levels, motion clarity, refresh rate and responsiveness. But anytime I would use the monitor for more that half an hour, my eyes would start to get so unbelievably fatigued. Been using the monitor nearly every day for about a month and the eye strain just kept getting worse and worse, and it's felt like the eye strain has been hurting my vision even outside of using the monitor. Unlike any sort of eye strain that I've experienced before. I switched back to my LG-GP850 IPS monitor today, and I can instantly tell that the eye strain issues aren't there. I was just curious if you had any opinion / input about this.
That's a bummer, and I am sorry to hear that. I did notice a little eye strain, which is why I decided to decrease the brightness in sdr mode and also in gaming settings.

Seen user's of gen 3 panels (32"4k240, 27"qhd360) had eyestrain, but not on gen 1 qd-oled (34"qhd175).
Maybe it has something to do with coating, because PWM behaviour is the same between all of them.
@4ikibrikivdamk3 I'll have to keep my eye on that. Just finished a long session. Not sure if it was from this post but my eyes definitely feel a bit he tired. Not sure if it is more than normal, but something to think about. I have a first gen qd oled. I may do a test to see if there is a difference.
@@Slyclientthetechdad i had eyestrain even from normal IPS monitor, so before blaming monitor, is better to optimise lighting conditions.
Eyes don't like bright monitor, and complete darkness behind it, eyes don't like high contrast in dark room. So optimise lighting conditions in room to make back of the screen same brightness as monitor.
PWM - interestingly it shows itself the most in dimmer brightness level - meaning higher the brightness, less PWM, less eyestrain.
hey I'm also experiencing this in my 4k 32 144hz Asus.... already adjusted everything but it's seemed I get fatigue faster. my temporary solution was to wear yellow anti blue glasses worked well for now... (edited) also using this eyedrops.. Neostigmine Methylsulfate Ophthalmic Solution

Great review
Great video brother.
With the Win Mini connected and using the 4090 docking station hooked up, are you steadily getting the 360HZ at 1440p?
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to watch. unfortunately no. I do plan on doing a follow up video on this topic. Most of my testing has been on games that are graphically demanding games. I plan on testing other games and dropping the panel's refresh rate down to 1080p and playing around with the settings. Perhaps I'll play some COD Warzone or CS GO on lower setting to see if we can get to that 360HZ. Id be surprised if any game could get up to 360 unless it is an indie title. Could be wrong though.
@@Slyclientthetechdad What refresh rate are you hitting steadily on those high demanding games? And I imagine you are playing on high or max settings?
@joethelocator1161 usually between 120 and 200. That's for games I've been playing like Cyberpunk, and Returnal. Even higher with games like Doom Eternal. I tell ya, you're giving me some great ideas for new videos. LoL I needed to get this one out, but there is clearly more testing to do with it and the Dock and 4090. :)
@@Slyclientthetechdad Glad I can be of help 😊
Are these 120-200Hz refresh rates that you're hitting while you are playing at max settings?
@joethelocator1161 Mostly High settings. I usually feel like in most games you don't get your bang for the buck running at ultra but I will try that setting out too.
How did you calibrate the colors of the monitor, thank you
Hi there, thanks for watching. There are a variety of different settings in MSI Intellegence software that you can use with this monitor. There are many presets but you can also make adjustments to the brightness and contrast and all of the other typical settings. I usually just play with the settings and adjust to my liking. No real hard settings. Hdr mode you are limited on what you can change though.
Do you know how to uninstall firmware update I downloaded the 0.10 fm and now I can’t get 360hz and no hdr if there is anyone who can help it’ll mean a lot as I’ll be returning monitor if it can’t be rectified
Are you using the included usb B port on the monitor along with msi intelligence software?
@@Slyclientthetechdad yes I had the msi intelligence software but I deleted as it made it worse and wouldn’t save presets when I downloaded the gi is there no way where I can uninstall software
My guess is that if it is possible, you will need the MSI intellence software to do it.
@@Slyclientthetechdad yes I am it all went down hill when I downloaded the firmware update everything seems locked I have tampered with settings and I can’t find any solution their is no video on yt showcasing how to uninstall firmwares
@x-fableog-x416 does it allow you to revert back to the previous one? I'm not hone, but I will check later
Ok play Fifa to show us
how do I turn on rgb light on the monitor?
You need to use the MSI Intellegence software. You cant do it directly through the OSD button. To use intelligence, you need to connect the USB B port to your pc connected to the monitor. That's how you upgrade the firmware as well.
@@Slyclientthetechdad Oh thank u so much
@@boringgames87668 anytime, thanks for watching
purchasing this bc of your review thx
Nice! You're going to love it! Thanks for checking out my video.
Im use to 4k but 1440p looking good at least by watching it through my tv.. i put youtube resolution on 1440p. Have u tried upscaling to 4k then downsampling back to 1440p? If so do u think that's good enough for even more immersion in single player games?
Hey, thanks for watching. Yes, I do that all the time. When I do it, it looks so good on this display, and the immersion is fantastic in single-player games. Sure, we all know 4k is more detailed in the structure of the picture, but this Qled Panel definitely makes up for it. It just pops off the screen. If someone were on a budget and couldn't buy a 4k model, this MSI is no slouch.
@@Slyclientthetechdad
I appreciate the response.. I have a 4k MSI IPS monitor but want to upgrade to a qd oled but also was thinking about a 1440p which I know would be amazing for competitive but was concerned on whether or not it would be a perfect balance for the best of both worlds for single player games too.. BTW did u have it upscaled to 4k in this particular video?
@@504Trey Oh no problem at all man. I can chat about this stuff all day. LoL this video was filmed in 4k but all the gaming was set in game to 2560 x 1440. Still looks great right? That's why I've been blown away. In my opinion, I think this is definitly an option for you especially since you already have a 4k display, which I'm sure is still great. You could get a QD-OLED, enjoy all the benefits of the Oled experience, then, if you're like me, upgrade the 4k in a couple years. LoL However, if you can't wait, you can always go right for one of the 4k QD Oleds I don't think you need to. To be honest, I use it everyday, and the only time I think about it is either when I get question about it, or a friend brings it up. QD Oled no matter what the resolution is sick!!! Plus, not sure what system you are running it on but it's much easier to drive depending on your video card or console
@@Slyclientthetechdad
I have a 4080 Super so gaming at 1440p native would be great when I'm playing competitive shooter games to take as much advantage of those 360 hz as possible & then when I play single player campaign story games I would plan to upscale it to 4k & downsampled to 1440p.. I may give that a shot.. U gave me the most feedback than I could get from any other channel so I can make my decision.. I know the bigger the channels are the harder it is to give a response to everybody though but some channels have less subs than u & still don't answer people lol.. I subbed to your channel & will watch more of your other content 👍🏾
@@504Trey Nice, that's a sweet card. I'm even more confident about your potential choice. Frame rates would be so amazing in those fps games that you won't even care about it not being 4k. LoL If you think about it, let me know how you make out. I starred this channel for fun. Just glad you think my advice could potentially help you at some point. Until then good luck to ya. Cheers!
Is there anyway where u can make the monitor go down to eye level as mine is stuck on the top view
It does take a little force for it to move up and down. If that doesn't work, try unattaching it from the mount and remount it.
@@Slyclientthetechdadworked perfectly was skeptical at first
What’s the reason you choose the msi over the Alienware oled 360hz?
The deciding factor was this monitor full bandwith hdmi 2.1 ports. Unfortunately, through my research, the Alienware model does not. It's advertised that way, but some other reviewers have done testing that proves it is not. I also liked that it had a KVM switch. Being able to use the monitor with multiple devices by just hitting one setting was huge for me. Are you planning on buying one? Both panels are basically the same. Just a few features that vary differently. You can't go wrong either way.
@@Slyclientthetechdad yeah bro, I thought it was only the Alienware with the 360hz oled panel.since your mentioned the kvm I might get the MSI instead, I have an acer monitor with the kvm and it comes in handy. Thanks for the reply.
@mart182003 No problem, anytime, I'll admit, I'm an Alienware fan. I wanted to buy their 360hz so bad. The MSI just offered a bit more. Good luck, and thanks for checking out ny video
Thanks for this great review!
@@TG-Maverick22 No prob, O appreciate you watching. Cheers!
there is a time you have to charge your phone when you are gaming
I usually use the usb c port to charge my laptop
@@Slyclientthetechdad enjoy this one, i heard you like collecting monitors but stick with the one you like the most using, msi gpu on msi monitor would be a great experience
I would love to check out more MSI Products
So what makes this one better than the Gigabyte fo27 QD OLED that even has the speakers built in?
Nice Video! Thank you!
Maybe try my music techno house the only thing thats not fake
I have this monitor arriving on Monday and I’m starting to get second thoughts about wanting 4k instead. It’s really a pain trying to find a decent 4k HDR monitor that isn’t an oled though. A $1200-$1300 4k oled just isn’t within my budget at the moment.
Nice, glad you were able to get a hold of one. At the end of the day, we all would like the highest resolution. However, this is one of the few products I've come across that will make you forget about that aspect. Your fps and color production from the display will male you forget about the lack of 4k. I hope you enjoy it. Cheers!
@@Slyclientthetechdad1440p is good
Enough the 360fps is by far better then 4k 240hz and its oled…
Did yours come in yet?
I completely agree! @x-fableog-x416
@@Slyclientthetechdad mine will come Monday I wanted aw27 1440p 360hz but out of stock this was 2nd best thing and has better dcpi I think
Great review man, keep it up
@@leninvanhee7532 Thanks man, I appreciate hearing the feedback. Thanks for watching it. Cheers!
Keep up the good work!
This was amazing🥰
im still not very sure about the burn issues , OLED looks like an unfinished technology and all youtubers keep pushing it , its cool if your only gaming on it , otherwise , it is a waste. in six months getting burnings and calling for a relacement is not ok. my point. enjoy .
Thanks for chiming in. The Tech is definitely still in the early stages. If you are someone who prefers a prefers finished complete tech, I wouldn't get OLED. Although there are ways and best practices to minimize issue, burn in can still happen. I've owned them long enough to feel confident that it won't happen to me based in use case. But for someone like you who most likely would prefer it not be an issue, I would avoid it. You will just drive yourself crazy worrying about it all the time. I know this to be true because my LG C9 that I bought years ago drove me nuts when I was a new adopter. Cheers to you and thanks for watching my video
@@Slyclientthetechdad yes I agree , talking about oled all mostly depends on the use case as you say . In my case I work 9 hours straight on windows (coding , editing ) then study another 2 hours or so . Maybe thinking on the Apple studio display and keep my old 2k led for occasional gaming .
Where you get this twin
Newegg, I'm not sure if they are back in stock, but fefinitly check. Adorama has them, too.
returned mine, i think woled is better
Good to know, I've never used woled. Hopefully, I can get my hands on one to check out one day. What you looking at? LG?
@@Slyclientthetechdad yes sir! I got the lg 34gs95qe-b. the MSI was locked with no firmware updates which was a deal breaker after I bought it. Love the content king
@shani9andri11 Thanks bro!
I have the woled right now, iam thinking to get this QD oled, because i hate abl dimming
@shani9andri11 I returned the LG. It was not bright. Completely useless HDR. I could not see well playing Red dead online. Thinking about getting this MSI or wsit for the new 27" ASUS OLED with the glossy screen.
lg ports out back of the monitor
The AORUS F027Q3 got this beat
your might be right. I haven't researched that one much. what's better on it?
Brother you sound like 2008 Facebook videos, please buy a microphone for 20 $ , I could not sustain more than 30 seconds of it.
Sorry and I wish you luck.
No worries, I appreciate the feedback. Thank you. Most people would t say anything. Glad you did.
@@Slyclientthetechdad I changed my mind and watched the whole video.
I order the monitor because of you, thanks for the review brother.
@zi9a Awesome! You won't regret it. Good timing, too. A new firmware just dropped improving the already great response time. Good luck, and if you have questions once you get it, give me a shout!
How is the input lag in 120 and 240hz? I saw reviews and says very slow on those hz.
I have heard the same but I find it not to be be very noticeable. When playing story driven games I could care less. Competitive games are a different story. I have been playing a lot of Xdefinant and can't notice it there either. I don't have proper equipment to test it but to the naked eye, I don't see it as an issue. Keep in mind that there could be new firmware updates to this monitor as well. On of the biggest benifits it has over the MAG version. If there are issues, they could very well be resolved in future updates.
It is so bad :( on ps5 and pc .Not acceptable hate it
Sorry that you don't like it. Works great with my XBOX Series X.
@@Slyclientthetechdad Your pc not anymore?
1440p come on bro, the time for 4k has arrived...
Nah 1440p Masterrace
Haha, I already got that. 55" 4k LG C2 OLED. I'm slummin' in style on my this MSI display :) JK Not about the C2 though . Lol
4k monitors are still expensive AF i hate that
@@Anthony-Soprano Agreed, plus you have to have an insanely powerful GPU to push them.
@@Slyclientthetechdad yup! I want a QD-OLED 4k monitor but its super hard justifying dropping $1k or more on a monitor, i do have a 4090 and a IPS 4k which looks okay but i paid $700 like 4 years ago which was also wayyy too expensive i just wanted to game at 4k
the problem is that the monitor is not 4k, other than that it's a great monitor
