Yes, LG's RGB OLED monitors (not W-OLED) is on the roadmap for 2025. That should completely fix the issue with LG's text clarity or desaturations of colours due to the white LED.
The Gloss VS Matte argument always goes as follows "They are both great, I cant barely tell the difference. I really like the Matte but if I had to choose it would be gloss" It is always leaning towards gloss just being better lol unless work in a brightly lit office building. But any average home can accommodate a glossy screen.
Completely agree. WOLED should have a glossy option as I would have picked that. One thing I would add though is that no one really talks about the raised purple blacks of qd oled. I only saw it in probably the worst case scenario of the first Alienware ultrawide qd oled in best buy under very bright lights. But the purple was incredibly obvious and in my opinion worse than lcd/ips raised blacks
I would only choose glossy if it was the LG TV glossy coating and not the sensitive semi-glossy coating that the QD-OLED monitors have. I definitely prefer the matte coating of my G80SD (QD-OLED) to the semi-glossy one.
I have very similar experience with this monitor and it's highly recommended. Text clarity seems better, if not the same, compared to my previous 27" LG 27GL850-B 1440p IPS monitor. I have HDR full time in Windows, I suggest you run the Windows HDR Calibration app from the Windows Store, to get accurate brightness and color. To fix the slightly muted colors in games, I use Nvidia control panel and increased the digital vibrance from 50% to 56%. This display has built-in speakers, a highly underrated feature. I normally wear headphones while gaming, but will sometimes utilize the speakers when playing casually or watching a movie or show.
my main issue is PQ EOTF and monitors not being bright enough/dimming down after a while. IMO OLED tvs are half a decade ahead in terms of tech. Monitors need to use the heatsink used in TVs like the Sony A95L or the LG G3. And use that without looking to just increase brightness but rather to improve heat dissipation so that the image can be bright enough for longer without unnecessary dimming down.
@@kaiserfakinaway5909 EOTF tracking was fixed on the firmware update released last June. This monitor doesn’t dim down during normal use, as far as I can tell.
@@mrcivster I haven't seen any videos on the firmware thing so sorry didn't know. And damn, if it doesn't dim then it's a huge plus! Btw i'm talking about HDR mode usage in a static-ish scene like House of The Dragon's dark scenes or a FIFA game.
1:08 - two different highlight colors were used to compare the quality of the displayed text... This also affects the perception of the sharpness of the text edges.
That's a clip taken from the Monitors Unboxed video. The differences in color are likely due to the inherent differences between QD-OLED and WOLED and how that is captured on camera.
Amazing channel, top tier quality!! Quick question is it worth to buy this one for graphic design/ 3d lookdev? I am afraid of getting burning since I usually tend to spend 6-8 hours daily inside the same program with the same layout. Thanks again!
Thanks so much! I'm going to do post an on my burn in status near the end of the month, but so far it seems fine. That said, for a productivity only use case I would not recommend an OLED.
I almost bought this monitor but ended up with the 57" Samsung Neo G9 since it is 7680x2160, and is the best blend between productivity and gaming Sadly not OLED, that's the biggest concession
i got this monitor for two days now, how come the hdr always show off it won't turn on, also the joystick sometimes comes up as cribbles lines, not sure why have to turn off and on
Have you tested the sRGB performance for color work in your videos? My Alienware 3423DW spoiled me with awesome color accuracy and im struggling to adapt
I have and out of the box calibration was very good on my panel. It has hardware calibration as well which is even better as the calibration would be applied universally and not depend on an ICC profile but unfortunately my calibrator isn't supported by LG's software.
I want the Asus glossy Oled so bad but the only downside for me is the logo. It's so noticeable for me and irritating. For this reason I find it difficult to choose between the LG and Asus :(
I haven't, no. From my understanding RTX HDR is better but comes with a performance hit. Personally I would prefer playing games in their "intended" look. Mastering for HDR should have some intention behind it, I think.
The fan noise is am absolut turn-off for me. I returned several 27' GR versions and a GS version because of the exact same fan noise. I'm just going to wait around for the ASUS PG32UCDP to drop in price and be available 😢
@@EIGAtech I actually got the monitor setting in front of me now (LG 32GS95UX-B.AEU), which is a German only version - I'm not sure what the difference is tho. I did notice the fan straight away, but that is mainly when I browse on the internet, without anything running in the background. I'm going to give it a chance for the next few days, since I got this at a 15% discount via Amazon. Oh ye and it fits my LG ergo monitor arm I had from my previous 27' monitor, which is perfect 👌
@@mogensen84 It's the same monitor, this is why I referred to it as the LG 32GS95 in my video. I am not aware of any differences between UE and UX. Let me know how you find it after a few days.
@@EIGAtech I actually got a new one today (not a replacement) and I can still hear the fan, but the first one was slightly louder. I ended up paying 33% less than the ASUS model, which honestly is a great deal - so I think that I'm going to keep this unit for now. Cheers for sharing the setting tho 👌
I hate that this monitor has a fan it it, it would have been perfect otherwise. I'm not buying it just because of that. The problem is that the fan is cheap and has crap bearings. It's no Noctua in there let me tell you. Replacing it will be almost impossible and its just a matter of time (say 2 years) before it will start to rattle and become annoying. For this price it is not acceptable.
It's interesting actually, I am pretty sensitive to that, but with the OLED I actually prefer near total darkness, but I do keep a very faint backlight on most of the time.
@@EIGAtech what I meant is that, you're gonna have a better experience I believe cus Tim is trying to push the reasonable limits and you're going to be using it like a normal person without intentionally trying to check the limits yk So I think your burn in checks would be cool for an average user I think even if you use it for longer hours.
Glossy on my Oled Odyssey G9, is perfect, but the text clarity kills the beauty of the display unless you are using it for purely gaming or watching a movie, this should of been dual 4k display & the text clarity would be crazy sharp and beautiful.
I think a "dual" 4K ultrawide will completely kill framerates. I've had a 1440p ultrawide for a while but I couldn't get used to the lower pixel density coming from 4K, and I could not get used to the curve either as it made every other flat screen I was looking at look distorted 😵💫.
Use ribbons screen saver - why? Because if you simply turn monitor off, only specific pixel's in specific places are wearing, while if you use suggested method - pixels will burn in more uniformly.
Pixel degradation is cumulative, the ribbons screen saver would do nothing unless it could magically know which pixels to avoid, that’s sort of what image cleaning does (but by adjusting voltages).
@@EIGAtech nope it helps in same way it helped CRT monitors, instead of having only static image on screen you mixing it with dynamic image wich wear's whole screen, so essentially your burn in effect is less pronounced. It's like using your monitor for work only, and for work and multimedia - in second case burn in will catch you way later. I found out that trick from daniel owen channel, he uses his OLED like you - for everything. He uses that specific screen saver.
I’m sorry but that’s not how it works, CRTs suffered from image retention which is different. All you are doing with the ribbon screensaver is adding extra wear in top of the existing wear. Even if it worked the way you describe, pixel cleaning already does exactly that by adjusting voltages of individual pixels to maintain uniformity.
Fans fail like 90% more often on me than any other hardware component. I wouldn't be surprised if the fan started making strange noises in a year or two.
@@PvtRinzler Oh, I could definitely hear the fan as soon as I turned the monitor on. The coating was also very grainy, even compared to my matte IPS panel. I'm now using the Samsung G80SD.
@@PvtRinzlerI dont know what u guys are talking, i have the Lg and the Msi qd side by side now. I dont see any grain, and the colors, hm maybe 5% better on the qd, barely noticable. But what i notice rly bad is the detail loss in dark scenes on the qd oled, if there is just one lightray somewhere in the room.
OLED Monitors have sold really well this year so it’s very likely we are going to see upgraded models next year with better performance.
