Sony used the cheapest and slowest HDMI 2.1 standard with DSC(there’s confusingly multiple 2.1 standards).

2:19 According to its product page, this monitor is VESA 100, so it's less that it can't go into portrait, and more like the included stand won't allow it. A minor but important detail if one is going to be dropping 1000 bucks on this.
That was my thought too "Throw away the monitor because you cant put it into portrait mode" like what? you can just not use it in portrait lol. I've never put a second monitor into portrait mode haha.
@@hoofhearted4 Personally, I do. I have an old 2K monitor I daily drive before I got an ultrawide. Now it's on the left side of my main ultrawide and in portrait mode. But here's the thing: I use a monitor arm to hold it up, and the oem stand is in the closet never to be used again. Some would not buy another monitor arm (heck, my monitor OEM stand does support portrait mode) but to me it's not a huge deal breaker like the host of this video said.
@Sheaksa No prob, I just thought it was weird that of all the features, they'd leave off VESA mounting. Conceivably any monitor with a VESA mount can be rotated 90° and put into portrait mode. It's just going to depend on the model. There are even kits that support non-VESA monitors that'll allow you to do the same thing.
This is maybe a dumb question, but should we also talk about how text documents look in monitor reviews? Like, even a gamer will be reading a document once in a while, and some gaming monitors don’t do a great job displaying text.
You can check out old reviews from when the first wave of 34" OLED monitors hit - text doesn't look great due to windows not properly supporting the sub-pixel layout and nothing's been changed since then. I have an OLED for gaming and it's not completely horrible, you can occasionally read just fine, but I wouldn't use it as my work monitor.
@ Yes, exactly! If you’re going to review a gaming monitor, and if you’re going to add the step of showing HDR video, you might as well also add the step of showing a text document. Is the monitor “tolerable” at text.
Not only that, they should also mention how the resolution+screen size combo matches different UI elements, with different zoom settings on Windows. For example I use 5 different monitors everyday, all at 1080p. One 24" 144Hz perfect for FPS gaming; one 15.6" laptop with external 24" for browsing and working on home documents; one 14" laptop with external 27" at work. The 14" inches is really really bad, especially with a 27" at 1080p. It would help people to know what size/resolution combo is better for them, especially if you spend a lot of money and if you do work on these products.
In fairness, there are no OLED 24" FHD 480 hz monitors. I doubt LCD 540hz models look as good as this one Still wouldn't recommend using this feature 😬

Properly spinning 360 degrees is pointless. The reason you have to turn them back to the front to rotate them to the other side is that in real usage you have cables. Can’t make a monitor beyblade with cables plugged in.
@@deuswulf6193 My Sony G520 CRT is still my main gaming monitor, modern games are absolutely gorgeous on it, better colour volume than my Sony RGB-OLED BVM, and 1:1 perfect motion resolution/clarity, doesn't hurt that anything from 480p to 2880p (it's max resolution) looks stunning on it, so I can always enjoy super silky smooth FPS, these OLED's are getting good though, when we finally get 8K Tandem-RGB-OLED with native rolling-scan (like my Sony BVM-OLED has) so we can enjoy great motion clarity as low as 60HZ/FPS, but also crank it up to 600Hz+ for faster FPS, my Sony G520 might finally have something that can compete or surpass it.
i feel like every one of these panels have roughly the same performance. What interests me is the sustained brightness. Weird that they didn't test that.
Although the panel is really flat, the box where the electronics are in is pretty big. Couldn't they put the power supply in too instead of that huge brick.
Windows HDR is so shit, that I can't use it with my local dimming MiniLED (1100 zones). It dims everything that uses Dark mode UI (white text on black bg) so much that text becomes unreadably dim.. simultaneously, everything bright becomes eye-searingly blown out in comparison, and somehow leave brightening halos beyond edges - not local dimming halos, but some other effect, because it spreads through several "layers" of the surrounding local dimming looking like a gradient. This bright halo effect does not affect HDR video playback, and games that use white text on black BG also work perfectly fine. Sadly, many games don't recognize an HDR display when Win HDR is disabled. Microsoft should make a "fake HDR" or "game HDR" setting that shows desktop in SDR, but reports HDR to games that use it.
I have the LG C2 42 inch TV as a monitor now for about a year and super happy with it. But I would love more than 120hz. The 42 inches I got used to really fast and wouldn't change the size, however the 4K resolution means the ppi is quit low. Not bad image quality obviously but for a step up I would want 5K 42inch 240hz, that would probably be my sweet spot.
What’s your opinion on getting this for the ps5 pro? I’ve been wanting a monitor forever for FPS games and when I saw this come out I was excited but been hesitant with the price point
I literally cannot wrap my head around the 24 inch mode. I was so distracted for the rest of the video after he turned it on trying to figure out why. He even started the video by bringing it closer because it was too small. Like, if it's too big close up, then just put it back further away. The only way I see it being useful is if you had a desk that was too small to put it far away and you had no choice but to sit way too close.
Plouffe told that this display has micro lens tech. I don't find anything about that. Is it those small lenses above OLED layer to "aim" light which makes the display "look" brighter. This was someones patent locked couple years back, but I can't rememeber who's. Is the patent yet lifted?
My very first gaming monitor was the Benq Zowie XL2730 it had a dedicated navigation puck for the OSD. Ever since Ive move on from that monitor using a navigation nipple has been super uncomfortable. I hate it. I wish more monitor manufactures took notes from Benq and ship their monitors with a puck

10:02 For a monitor with esports collab, you guys should put SDR peak brightness apl. HDR is useless to what it is marketed to. If you put hdr results on it,why not test response time and latency on every refresh rate option no? Vrr and vrr flicker even. Put up some objective measures not just saying "barely"
The number of people that have told me they don't like HDR or that HDR is a gimmick or it makes things look bad, and it turns out it's because their first exposure to HDR was on a $400 75 inch TV or an edge lit monitor without true HDR capabiities.....well, that number is extremely high. I gave up on the battle to convince people though. Everyone thinks what they want these days and you can't change minds
The stupidity of some people, my 27 inch monitor is too big it needs a 24 inch mode! Now it's too small, let me move it closer so it takes up the same amount of my vision as a 27 inch monitor further away.
It’s ok gramps. Just take a look at any cs competition in the past 15yrs to know why it’s useful and probably not for you. Your CRT will work just fine ya know.
I don't really get the 24" mode. Does it somehow retain the same 1440p (I don't see how that would be possible)? I'm more than willing to be educated. But from where I'm standing it sounds like it's just using a smaller part of the screen (as well as a smaller subset of the pixels). Is it just better because it's easier to drive and actually hit the 480Hz? Or am I missing something crucial here?
@@SangaPommike Since it also occupies a smaller area of your range of vision, it may be easier for some to see/notice things that are happening near the edges of the screen
@@SangaPommike24 inches is the standard for esports. If you’re planning on using the monitor for more than just esports, the smaller display mode makes it easy to use as a multipurpose monitor. Usually you’d want to practice on the same size display as what you’d be using in a tournament or whatever and this makes that possible.
@@SeaIify Sure. But why would you have a smaller number of pixels closer to you compared to a larger number of pixels slightly further away within the same field of vision? What's the benefit? The only one I can think of would be that it's easier to drive the lower number of pixels. But surely there must be more to it than that.
So let me get this straight: You review a 1000USD monitor which isnt even 4K and you recomend people to DECREASE the screen size to make it look better???
Esports players exclusively play on 24 inch because they like to stay close to the monitor and keep everything within peripheral vision such as mini map etc.
these OLED gaming monitors tests are so funny now cos like panels are almost the same level of perfect, so what do you test until some new generation comes out
I tried to like Sony. I had the previous version, the Inzone M9--beautiful picture, and the worst firmware of any monitor I have ever experienced in my life (worth mentioning that I work in IT and have played with hundreds of different monitors in my life). Returned it right away and got an Alienware 32 inch 4k OLED, which has made me very happy for gaming and films.
Before I get too far in. I'm taking a stab that it's 1440p but nit 480hz at 1440p....if so they need to make it less confusing because the marketing on the box makes you think it's a 1440p 480hz monitor
every stand should come with at least plus minus 5 degree of pevid ( so you can ajust it to be perfectly level. specially if you have 3 side by side and your dest isnt perfectly flat ) p.s. wish monitors took a trick out of smartphones ( like my xiaomi 14 ) so they can get as narrow bezel all the way around as it have ( even if the controles have to be on the back )
It is literally impossible to go back to SDR after experiencing calibrated HDR on a high end panel. If you say otherwise, you simply haven't seen properly calibrated HDR because there's no way there's actual real people that prefer SDR after seeing real HDR.

Buddy a little over dramatic about the lack of portrait mode on the stand. Product page says it's VESA compatible so just get a new stand, no sweat.
Does it really make wense when a g6 360hz can sometimes be found for half the price?
so how do i get this in aus?
i knew about this last month but yeah
I thought the colour was off on my LG G4 but it was just a lack of tan lol
5:54 Wildest VRR take I've ever heard.
Wish OLED/QLED can drop in prices soon, it's so damn expensive.
They did drop a lot since release, you can find 27" 240hz ones for a good price
Lg 27gs95qe 240hz, 27", 1440p, 0.03ms gtg, for $650 USD on amazon right now
Planned on getting this one when it's around $800. Even if that takes like 3 more years.
Plouffe: owns a monitor
Wow Sony made a really good PC monitor, not a name I'm used to for high end gaming monitors.
Looks nice. How in the world is it not falling over lol. That stand looks like it would fall over. Very cool.
2:40 bad tech tip, just get a 30$ monitor arm from Amazon instead. That will pivot just fine
WOW what a nice design. SONY at their best. Reminds me of those Bang-Olufsen TVs.
That stand is amazing
Hopefully they add black frame insertion with an update
It doesn't work well on oleds so it's pointless
Plouf has a display, but Sony has an even better one.
So let me get this straight: You review a 1000USD monitor which isnt even 4K and you recomend people to DECREASE the screen size to make it look better???
So the question is, do I drop size and resolution from my AW3225QF to increase frames and refresh rate with the M10S? Anyone that could compare the 2?
Why is it beneficial for it to reduce the screen size. Is it just for periffial vision. I play cs but I think that is just unnecessary
Seems like a useless feature. 27inch is small why would i want smaller?
on top of the fact they’re highlighting a feature which promotes reverse burn in without stating that fact
Smaller screens are better for high level competitive gaming. You can see the whole screen in your field od view
Esports players exclusively play on 24 inch because they like to stay close to the monitor and keep everything within peripheral vision such as mini map etc.
Standard tournament monitors are all 24.5” as well, so keeping in line with that as an option
these OLED gaming monitors tests are so funny now cos like panels are almost the same level of perfect, so what do you test until some new generation comes out
i don't understand the appeal of Pivot. All the fonts look so ugly when monitors are pivoted
I tried to like Sony. I had the previous version, the Inzone M9--beautiful picture, and the worst firmware of any monitor I have ever experienced in my life (worth mentioning that I work in IT and have played with hundreds of different monitors in my life). Returned it right away and got an Alienware 32 inch 4k OLED, which has made me very happy for gaming and films.
Sadly this one doesn't allow 4k signal downscale on Xbox
what is the bitrate of the 2.1 Uhbr20 80 gb port display?
I have found my perfect monitor; the 21:9 LG OLED 240hz 39inches. I don't know if I can ever go back to regular ratio ever again.
I would consider this if there was an option without the stand that knocks some off the price. I won't use it so it would just be a waste.
can sony sponsor one of me these monitors too?
Before I get too far in. I'm taking a stab that it's 1440p but nit 480hz at 1440p....if so they need to make it less confusing because the marketing on the box makes you think it's a 1440p 480hz monitor
It is 1440p at 480hz, you got confused
$1000+ and couldn't add a full bandwidth HDMI
every stand should come with at least plus minus 5 degree of pevid ( so you can ajust it to be perfectly level. specially if you have 3 side by side and your dest isnt perfectly flat )
p.s. wish monitors took a trick out of smartphones ( like my xiaomi 14 ) so they can get as narrow bezel all the way around as it have ( even if the controles have to be on the back )
It is literally impossible to go back to SDR after experiencing calibrated HDR on a high end panel.
If you say otherwise, you simply haven't seen properly calibrated HDR because there's no way there's actual real people that prefer SDR after seeing real HDR.
does it get burnin?
Every OLED eventually does
What possible application is there for a 360 degree display rotation? Why is that a selling point?
Idk why that was repeatedly pointed out. No one is spinning their monitors around like that with the cables plugged in
No BlurBuster test? I look forward to the frog and the UFO on these HRR monitors.
Complete non issue on oleds
Clear as crystal 0.03 gtg is no joke (I have a WOLED display, and it's a serious difference)
