    Fantastic price on this one! AOC has been killing it as of late. I'll be keeping my eye out for a 32" version of this monitor. Thanks Andy!

    From one UA-camr to another, THANK YOU SO MUCH for making an Nvidia LDAT alternative. I’m most likely going to be buying your OSLTT. If I wanted to test different Windows tweaks and in-game settings, that would be the better option over the OSRTT correct?
    I’m seriously considering doing videos on the OSLTT/OSRTT because not enough people know that they exist and the more people that test everything, the better we can optimize. What's the current shipping time to California from the UK after purchase? (I saw they’re hand made so even more props dude!)
    Also, PLEASE start using timestamps in your videos. I say that with as much love as possible as I just watched +5 of your videos where it could’ve been insanely helpful.
    In your descriptions just add the following separate from any text (example from my latest video):
    Timestamps:
    00:00 Intro
    0:15 Downloading & Installing 4,000 Hz Free Update
    1:50 Updating the On-Board Memory to Use 4,000 Hz
    2:40 Disabling Mouse Acceleration (IMPORTANT!!!)
    2:52 Updating the On-Board Memory to Use 4,000 Hz Cont.
    4:27 Gaming Surface Mode Updated
    5:02 Important Warnings & Realistic Expectations regarding 4,000 Hz
    6:01 Caution!!! 4,000 Hz = Heavier CPU Usage (potential frame drops/stutters!)
    7:08 Thanks for watching!!!
    Sorry for the long comment and thanks for all you’re doing, keep it up.
    (Liked and subbed of course lol)

    Is this monitor better overall than the g7 odyssey 28" G70B UHD? (they have the same price)

    • @mecke_dev
      @mecke_dev 6 днів тому

      Yes it is slightly better, having DCI P3 Colors range of 98% compared to 90% and it's brighter with 400cd/m² compared to 300cd/m²
      and this one has 160Hz compared to 144Hz, but that's not noteworthy
      THis Monitor has no Audio or Network Connections compared to the G7, but I never used either of that on a Monitor

    Hey Would you mind also posting measured gamma curve? Including each individual color channel versus the reference flat 2.2 or sRGB curve if possible (not sure how your software would show that, I'm just familiar with HCFR)
    In my measurement and usage of many types of displays I own (i1 Display Pro) I found this to be subjectively more important even than color accuracy.

    I've got the Samsung G70A (4k 144hz 28"). And it's great. Just got the MSI 271QPX and tbh it's awful. Games may be ok, but as an all round monitor it's atrocious - text is blurry, way too bright (and yes I played with the settings....). Way prefer my G7. Just need to find a high fps 4k IPS monitor and this AOC may fit the bill. Just looking for 160+ fps 4k for COD really (7900xtx).

    There are 2 variants of U27G3X has 2 variants - one is G3XM miniled variant which is substanially more expensive even not available here.
    Also 400 on basic vs 450nits on miniled is different in specs.
    Really telling ignore over shoot and rating monitor gaming by image sharpness? Isn't sharpness given rather by pixel density than panel response time?
    Maybe I am getting it wrong but exact naming monitor should be concrete part of review.
