This was one of the most enjoyable experiences (overall) that I had in years! 240Hz and OLED? Sign me in!
OLED's are awesome. Ever since I got an LG C1 oled TV I fell in love with how good everything looks. Running an ultrawide Alienware qd oled as my main display. Its great
Man I got a LG 27 inch 165hz1080p monitor last year and it is va it sucks since I switched from a IPS 60hz panel it took me some time to get adapted to it but now you are a expert congratulations 👏❤❤❤
This monitor is not avalible in mexico, and if i order it from amazon usa the price goest to 1,165 us, what do u think about KTC H27T22?
Literally JUST was able to finished the MLID Broken Silicon Podcast that you appeared on. I recently started watching Broken Silicon, and I has happy to see your appearance on there, and would definitely like to see you return!
I loved the topic that was discussed on there, and once again, your English is impeccable, and is nothing to apologize for!
Thank you very much! Hope to appear there again as well
OLED for 650 is insane, even more when all the 27 inch 240HZ monitors use the same LG panel, actually good price (in comparison with tbe other tbag are like 900 o so)
on Amazon US you can get an extra 10% off, making around $550!
@@AncientGameplaysHow do you get the additional 10% off?
@@jonRock it was on amazon, it must apply when you go to purchase it I believe
Good video, keep going! I saw your review of the KTC H27T22, and I bought it. I'm very happy with it.
Glad to see I helped!
I got my Asus rog swift 240Hz Oled a few months back its also my first 240Hz experience.
I'm pretty sure it has the same panel as the KTC one and I'm just gonna say it's unreal everything feels like its three dimensional the depth is so good and seems like it's happening in real time and the colours and contrast are like nothing else.
my intentions at first was to have it as my main with the old 144Hz 2k IPS as a secondary monitor but I'm so blown away by the Oled that every IPS seems dull and grey, I can't stare at it anymore.
edit : I actually wrote this comment before watching the entire video, it's hilarious how ur experience is similar to mine xd
Indeed, OLED is another world haha
Just got this for $499.99 free shipping I’m so excited Ty for the coverage on it
$500 is a stel!!
Just bought one on Amazon. Have never had a monitor above 60hz 1080p. Cant wait to see the difference!
Will be huge!
@@AncientGameplays Finally received it and the monitor is amazing! Thanks for putting it on my radar!
@@coltonwhite6528how has it been treating you so far? I bet the jump from that 1080p 60hz monitor is huge! Once you go oled its hard to see regular lcd monitors the same
BTW good job with the long podcast/UA-cam video with the Moore’s Law is Dead channel.
Thank you
Using 55inch 4k 120hz OLED HDR as a gaming monitor + all the movies and series I am watching since 2019, 5th year going strong! never been happier... crazy good purchase that really changed my life. OLED is the way - only have to take a little care with the settings to protect it from burn in and you are having the time of your life.
damn how much did you pay for it ? had to cost like 1k atleast
@@sirjoesphjoestar8361 1300 at the time, which was a bit more than my whole PC at the time, but I would do it twice if I have to. Nothing else I have ever bought has been so good and used so much, its incomparable.
Thank You!
Thank you as well!!
Monitor boxing match is in full effect from everyone, and its awesome. Some killer monitors coming out, ... and with all the good competition, it just helps us all.
indeed!
Nice video as always , what site would you recommend buying gpus that ship to europe?
humm, you can try amazon I guess
The amount of money you've saved me when it comes to pc related peripherals since I've subbed to you is crazy. $667 for a 1440p 240hz 27 inch OLED monitor is mind-blowing. Mine comes in tomorrow and I can't wait to play around with it.
Great to hear!
How’s it been
Stunning monitor! The fact that it has speakers makes it better because I can't wear headphones because of my tinnitus..
I prefer anything over headphones sincerely haha
What has tinnitus have to do with that? If anything, headphones should help you better, this is coming from someone that also has tinnitus.
@@elporquito7680 By wearing headphones you are simply replacing the noise of tinnitus with your music or game sound. I dont wear headphones because after im finished from using them my tinnitus gets very loud
About a year ago bought an LG UltraGear 45" Ultra Wide 21:9 OLED 240Hz, its just another level of gaming, watching movies or making some work.
21:9 is a must nowadays IMO, specially if oled
More monitors need to implement KVM. It’s one of the main reasons I went with my Gigabyte monitor.
KVM is awesome IMO
These screws are propably for VESA mount. Anyway great monitor, i like how many features it has and it comes with accesories. I hope prices of OLED will start droping down and we will get some 500 Euro options... unfortunatelly manufacturers are artificially increasing prices by making it 360hz and giving it "premium" branding like AORUS or Alienware. All i want is 4k 120Hz for HDR experience and colour accuracy.
My VESA mount brought its own screws haha, but great
@@AncientGameplays It is probably not just screws but standoffs for the actual screws since at least from the video, the screw holes were recessed thus if you don't use the standoffs, you need to use the correct screw length and probably the Vesa mount plate will press itself to the body of the display which might not be structural.
Hey AG, great video as per usual! Off topic but for 1440p gaming between the 7900xt and soon to be realeased 4070ti super which of the two do you reckon is better card to get rn?
overall and with FSR3 getting into more and more games? Most likely the 7900XT, especially since it is considerably cheaper
4070ti super is already out and it depends. If you play a lot of new AAA games Nvidia is the better choice, otherwise go AMD.
Got it. Cheers @@AncientGameplays
xt, will last longer too as it has 2024 high end gpu VRAM amount...
I searched how bright this monitor can get and it can hit 900nits 1% window and 660nits 10% window, that is crazy for a monitor. I love oleds I've always wanted one but the only thing that puts me off the most is screen burn since I mostly do gaming. I wonder if this company offer a 10 year screen burn guarantee like lg does?
A good VA panel with a high contrast ratio will always beat IPS panels for blacks. VA panels are the second best for contrast. Only thing that could help black levels on a IPS set up is led strips behind the monitor, this helps with blacks a hell of a lot.
no way in any universe a tech company gives u a 10 year guarantee for such thing as burn in
even an ips will have burn in if miss used.
and from my experience with oleds i had a samsung note 4 for like 4 years in the past with 0 burn in before it broke and now I have a tab s6 since 2019 with a heavy use as a laptop replacement for college and as a media consumption it's like my go to to watch anything on the bed again with no burn in at all
my recommendation is if u want an oled have one but be extra carful with it as u are most likely gonna be with most ur expensive gadgets
@@jkeez959 I seen it a while back about the 10 year burn in warranty, one of my friend is oled obssessed and he keeps going on about this 10 year warranty for screen burn. Just done a quick Google search and seen lg does 5 year cover now and others are saying 10 years.
Yeah i mean that's why I'm a bit scared to go oled just with it being a fragile technology, the organic LEDs are so sensitive to heat so a lot of experts are saying not to max the brightness on the TV over long periods of time etc etc, 90% of content these days like netflix, Disney, prime is all hdr/Dolby vision which needs the brightness maxed for good hdr same with games, static images can also be an issue. My friend always says it has a pixel settings which helps with screen burn but if you look on rtings website even the latest oleds have some sort of screen burn after heavy use.
I've alway went QLED, they still have amazing contrast and the blacks still look amazing maybe not on oleds level but you don't have to worry about burn in etc, with QLED being va panels they seem to be immune to burn in plus lcd panels get insanely bright, oled not so much.
That's why I mention led strips for behind the TV, I've got the QLED Samsung Q80B and it turned the blacks from really good to inky black which insane, it definitely helps. Yeah I agree with IPS they can suffer from it too plus they have the worst contrast ratio and panel uniformity issues out of all TVs or monitors.
I've got a 165hz IPS panel and a 144hz curved va panel and it's night and day looking at them.
@@xwar_88x30 you are not gonna be using any monitor for more than 5 years before
you are most likely gonna upgrade it any way.
any new monitor is likely to have a function breaking hardware or software failure just as its likely to have burn in or for a gpu or any electronic in general is likely to just fail,
burn in is really overlooked.
u might search on google for ppl who have burn in in their oleds at the same time u will find tons and tons ppl with all kinds of new pc parts related problems
Oooo nice
I have a 270-280 htz 1920x1080 adaptive-sync ASUS monitor myself
Cutting down a few htz to switch to 1440p wouldn't be a bad idea, definitely gonna wishlist this!
and not only that, its the OLED experience. MUCH better image quality (contrast and colors)
@@AncientGameplays Yeah I never had an OLED monitor I think!
Not to mention it'll give my GPU some breathing room considering how much framerate it needs to pump out per game (280 FPS/Htz)
Just picked up a 240 hz OLED myself.
The LG version of this is $750 retail - a better deal.
And you can snag an open box for around $650.
This one is currently at $650 though haha (as shown) and you can't get another 10% off (amazon) :D
@@AncientGameplays I'd still pay that extra for the LG. The KTC looks really cheap compared and you get full 48gbps HDMI 2.1 with the LG so no DSC.
I got myself a 240hz qLED. Not quite as good as these but I'm stilly happy!
That's what matters!
1:51 Looks like to extend vesa mounts to get some space from wall mounts for example
So far i love this monitor! The brightness is more than enough for me and it breathes new life into the games i play! Also the matte coating does not bother me at all since i keep my room pretty dark. Once you go oled you cant go back!
Oled is top indeed
Any plans on reviewing some of the recent 4k 32 inch OLEDs ?
If ktc sends one? Sure
Sitting on 4k 48" 120Hz and can't wait till 240 and full bitrate arrive in future. 120 on an oled looks far superior to the same on IPS/VA and the sheer volume of pixels is a real game changer for me, like the 720>1440P jump over a decade ago lol.
And oled has much less lag/overshooting (almost none)
got it around black friday for $530. great monitor pwetty colors.
Its now at $550 with another cupon. Looks great indeed
damn 240Hz is cool, but I'm so used to a 34" monitor that I wouldn't want anything smaller, so I set my sights on the Philips Evnia 34M2C8600. Сongratulations on the update!
by the way, I fixed that problem with fps in games, I forgot that I locked the processor at a constant frequency of 4200MHz, I returned everything to standard indicators with normal turbo boost and everything was fine, and now with fluid motion frames it is absolutely a rocket
That phillips is nice, I just don't like the active cooling there. Glad you fixed your issue. Like I said time and time again, 99% of problems are user related
My first encounter with OLED was my cell phone lool and now I just have to buy a new monitor I won't get around it...I now have an MSI 32' 144hz VA PANEL
your voice is good for anime
@AncientGameplays You are using FPS limiter and you mentioned there are several ways how to limit your frames. I know these - rivatuner, in drivers or in game settings or config. Which one is the best way? Can one of these affect stuttering in negative way? I saw video about running GTAIV game today and there was something like "do not set fps limiter in drivers do this in rivatuner". So I'm curious about your opinion. Thanks 🙂
You can try in game, but i found FRTC and RTSS to be more stable usually
Prime day brought this to $569. Copped
Great!
It was $512 for prime day w that additional 10% code attached on it
Does it have the same panel as LG 27GR95QE-B ? Many people complain about anti glare matte coating.
Sheesh a 3x video streak within 24h, AMD Wizard FTW! \o/
Had this one made already haha
KTC still makes monitors for other companies too.
Of course they do, never said they stopped haha
@@AncientGameplays I know you didn't. I think the one new Coolermaster 27" is one of theirs.
@@TheCgOrion i believe so as well
Probably gotta wait a little bit more for the OLED to become really affordable
Finally 😂 some not gpu content. Awesome.
CPU content will start coming soon as well
My AW3423DWF was under $750. Just gotta look out for them deals!
Yeah, but this one is at $650 (but smaller). That one has active cooling though (which I don't like) and Is an older model or am I wrong?
Still, great value!!
It's a first gen Samsung QD-OLED but still performs at 165Hz 10 bit TrueHDR1000 after some tweaks from my end. The panel is good for up to 175Hz but I didn't want to push beyond max configured refresh rate.
Yes, it does have active cooling but the fan is completely inaudible at idle so you'd never notice it.
I personally prefer ultra wide and will pay a premium for it. Plus I really wanted the 3 year (burn-in included) warranty.
Really glad to see more OLED monitors break into the market, competition will only benefit the consumer :)
Eu comprei um da Dell , 1440p/360hz oled , estou esperando chegar , espero que de uma boa diferença de oled para ips .
O contraste é brutalmente diferente. E 360hz? Top
I recently got the LG 27" 1440p 240Hz OLED. It even has full 48gbps HDMI 2.1 so you can run 12bit with no compression! Gaming has never been so awesome, especially with paired a 7900XTX!
I can relate! Great choice!
Olá Ancient. Para um pc para edição de vídeo (não 4k) + Gaming (Fortnite sobretudo) + gravar, aconselhas o AW2725DF 1440p de 360hz ou AW3225QF 4k 240hz?
ou achas que tem alternativas melhores e mais baratas? como este KTC G27P6
Ultrawide para mim é muito melhor para editar e jogar
*When I saw the title I was expecting a lower price, nice to see prices coming down though however my broke ass can't afford this still* 🤣
Yeah, OLED is still very expensive, but $650 is defiinitely reasonable for OLED 1440P 240Hz as you see 34" IPS panels costing over $700 sometimes
im going from a $200 sceptre monitor to this one … I’m ready to have my mind blown
Of course we cant get the thing in the UK, I love how we literally get almost nothing in terms of monitors. Was hoping to introduce my brother to OLED as he wanted a nice new HDR display and this is perfect for him
Sad to hear they're not there
@@AncientGameplays happens a lot, a lot of the great mini LED options on a budget we dont have either, same as OLED. I was hoping it would allow me to import from poland as it did give me an option... Then said it cant. I really hope they can break into the UK market. Awesome vid as always
Doyou have any idea if this OLED from KTC have more brightness than this other current OLED monitor s in the market ?
The max brightness is quite high. With the normal mode I had to see the brightness to 50% of less, otherwise it would be too much
Any idea why I can't enable 10-bit mode? I'm using DP with a rtx 4070. Also is there a way to get that firmware update you mentioned?
Humm, try enabling dsc, should do it
Thank you mens@@AncientGameplays
Can you make a 2024 amd adrenalin software best settings video please!
Yeap, one more month and I'll so it 💪
@@AncientGameplays Ty! With the introduction of AFMF I'm sure some settings must've changed
please make a overclock/undervolt video for 7900XT. i tried using the 7900xtx settings on the 7900xt and the screen goes gray occasionally on some ames and the system crashes. 7900xt oc/uv video please
Tweak your settings dude...
Did the ABL issue get fixed in a firmware update? or is the Reader mode still the only workaround?
So far yes, but at normal brightness abl isn't really noticeable
@AncientGameplays Thanks champ, going ahead with the purchase on this.
About the text clarity problem not all oleds have that problem and has nothing to do with being oled but rather just LG oled sub-pixel choice...
Samsung QD-oled 4 example is fine and probably all phones\tablets oleds are also not WRGB since the very begining.
WRGB also ruins the color volume sadly cause on bright colors content theres a white "alien" sub-pixel that should never have been there but Im guessing LG did it for longevity but nowadays it probably hurts more than what it helps ☹️
ALL (and I repeat) ALL OLED have worse text clarity than good IPS panels. In 2024 we'll have better text clarity not only from LG, but also from Samsung gladly!
But yes, WRGB can be annoying in some cases, but from my testing in gaming and content consumption it is simply great
@@AncientGameplays some current models have good text clarity tested by monitors unboxed. Also on phones and tablets even though they use strange pixel arrangements also look pretty good despite not being the best...
Anyway some day we might get much cheaper true RGB oleds with inkjet printed ones which they sadly keep delaying.
The problem with fringing is caused by how text is rendered. So the blame is 50/50 with how ClearText works on Windows.
Smartphones use AMOLED panels which is a different technology and it is true RGB but it is not suitable for large panels. To this day W-OLED panels with MLA offer a better reproduction than QDOLED, according to people who calibrate monitors for work and not UA-cam. The problem is how much they cost.
The only QDOLED display looking better was a Sony TV and Sony this year is dropping the ball with QDOLED because of its costs, which is a shame. Apparently there is a lot of defective panels and it's easier to have image retention with QDOLEDS.
So, summing up:
- All OLEDS have problematic text clarity because Windows lacks the software support for it (with macOS the fringing is almost non existent compared to Windows)
- It's not always true that W-OLED == loss of color volume, but it is true that some QDOLEDS == gain in color volume but loss in brightness and shitty coating
- QDOLEDs still have the same issues of first gen, smaller pixels and new software mitigations make them better but they're still not suitable for "office work" while W-OLED seem to have done zero progress from last year in that department.
In my opinion a good IPS with MBR and at least 165Hz is a better option for office+game until all of these things are sorted out, especially the software support from Windows...there is almost certainty to experience image retention or subpar clarity until then which is unconceivable in 800+ euros worth of monitor.
@@or1on89 not all phones use Amoled... Both my tablet and phone are non Amoled and in fact in the case of my phone from TCL I believe they are using their own first Oled panels since it's already getting old.
About the text clarity some models have good text clarity, not the best but still very usable unlike the WRGB...
The MLA really did improve it but I actually think before LG was talking about it TCL was already talking about similar stuff for their mini-led TVs with the lenses on top of the LEDs so the MLA in theory is just a general thing that would likely improve things whether its LCD or Oled.
The QD-oled still looks pretty amazing and has very nice colour volume but I agree that their coating sucks but in terms of longevity the latest Samsung gen of it tested by rtings is massively better than I ever thought even before they ever shown the 1st gen cause the Oled that burns fastest by far is blue yet they really did improve the Oled ingredients that lately even Samsung blue longevity is pretty good.
Anyway for my TV I went for Hisense U8K but on phones and tablets I'm never going back to LCD and if I could buy a good Oled monitor of 1440P 27inch with good text clarity and non intrusive ABL for 500eur I'd buy one right away, for 1000eur or anywhere close they can shove them in some place cause LG Oled 48inch "C" version have already been in promotions for 899eur so why would I pay 1000eur and sometimes more for a damn 1440P 27 inch oled with even like 80% of features cut...
Ps: when they go much more down in price I'd totally move to OLED and never go back to IPS.
the only thing that sucks is that color temperatures reset to normal when i turn it off on mine. maybe theres a fix for this?
Never had such thing happening, and had mine tweaked since day 1. Very odd, have you reached KTC support?
@@AncientGameplays yeah ive tried contacting them multiple times. no response unfortunately.
@@alexandern5296 Let me see what I can do. Send me an email so I can redirect to them
I'm thinking into getting one oled like this one coming from a cheap LG NanoIPS monitor but oleds come at 650 850 euros at least. I'm not sure if the "jump" in quality is worth the price
Humm, it depends. A good IPS ultrawide panel with high refresh rate would be a good spot to me.
Or oled 1440P uw 34"
@@AncientGameplays Thanks for the fast reply! I already had an iiyama 34 ultrawide 1440P ips but sold it because it was so big for my desktop. Then i went back with a cheap used LG 27 inches IPS but i'm tempted with proper HDR and more than 144hz. Price is the only thing that is holding me back...
I just bought it for $580 on Amazon with $50 coupon and additional 3% coupon. 😎
awesome!
How’s it been
We lost him to OLED bois)) Now we're not worthy with our silly IPS' and VA's. I'm not even starting about TN's. :DDDDD Just kidding, congrats bro! Wish they sold these monitors in my country, I get the silly Samsungs and the overpiced LG's here only. Do you know if this monitors has some sort of protection from burn ins?
My main is still IPS haha
Yes, it does auto refresh from time to time
Awesome! Would like to see a review after a couple of months of usage too!@@AncientGameplays
I want to buy a new monitor but I can't decide, I was thinking about to get one of those OLED monitors but I don't know if I should buy the monitor or upgrade my GPU to a RX 7900 XT or 7800 XT, I am still on a RX 6800 but my monitor is 75hz
Having those cards with a 75hz is not great. Get a new monitor, its the best usually
@@AncientGameplays Yeah, I am planing to get the Asus Rog Swift OLED : 3
Please tell me how do you think this monitor is Titan Army P27A6S
that monitor is not OLED though
@@AncientGameplaysThanks for the feedback
Fabio, we need to talk.
That cell phone wallpaper should be of Our Holy Lady Dr. Lisa Su.
Looks like your faith and devotion to our lady is failing.
Joke aside, I wish that tv manufacturers would start including at least one DP port on their TV's, especially after the HDMI forum made sure that their current specification is hostile towards open source .
Yeap, I don't even consider HDMI as an option anymore...
Where can i download or find the firmware updates??
will possibly be on their website pretty soon. Do you want the reading mode, is that it?
My son has this monitor and actually looks way better than my 27c omen 240hz 1440p monitor, I was blown away how cheap it was I had a coupon on Amazon for 40$ dollars off 😊 so that was nice but the quality is nice
Oh my bad it isn’t oled it’s a 165hz curved but it’s super nice
And when LG improved their subpixel layout (it will be in some months with the new monitors) it will get even better
@@AncientGameplays but even the monitor you showed is cheaper than the omen 27c monitor , I bought it when it was 650$ now it’s like 400$ but the colors on my monitor are very washed out , especially the dark colors
I see @@AzSureno
Amazon has a few OLED 27” for $500
This one in amazon goes as low as $550. Also, this is 240Hz, passive cooling, with speakers
Oled gives such great image quality. But am I just a weird person if I'd like to see Samsung and LG produce UWFHD (21/32:9 at 1080p) oled panels as well? Or 32/21:10 at 1200p ultrawides panels as a middle ground before 1440p/4k.
These monitors look enticing though with this tech.
nah, too low pixel density. 34" UW at 1440P is bare minimum for me
For 1440p UW definitely.
But since I wear glasses 1080p UW 30" would be my max. There arent a lot of 30" 1080p UWs high refresh rates on the market anymore.
Damn, even 27" 1080P looks bad to me haha@@gkirmathal
@@AncientGameplays I meant for ULTRAWIDE 🙂
An 29.5" 21:9 2560x1080p is similar in pixel density to a 24.8" 16:9 1080p panel.
As a 34" 3840x1440p pixel density is similar to a 27" 16:9 1440p panel.
@@AncientGameplays Yeah, unfortunately high PPI isn't a high priority from manufacturers. The new LG OLED 32" 4k 240hz monitor would be much more appealing if it was 27" to 24". I find it hard to stay focused on the game with anything over 26".
so is this the new gen oled or is it gen 1/2?
I sincerely don't know, the newer gen (in some months) will be considerably better in terms of text clarity, but also quite more expensive
Folks, I need help. I am experiencing screen flickering (blinking) while browsing and completing other simple tasks with my 6700xt sapphiere card. Also, my monitor screen is turning off sometimes for no reason and only replugging the monitor power cable helps. I tried switching from hdmi to DP, changing radeon drivers but nothing helped. Turning off the MPO didn't help too.
humm, that might be lots of things, maybe your monitor needs a firmware update. have you tried disabling freesync?
@@AncientGameplays not yet, I will try it
Is compatible with VRR on PS5?
Vrr yes, so should work with ps5
Hi can we have the file tp update firmware us?
Those screws are "stand-offs" they are used as spacers for mounting the monitor
Ohhh I see, interesting, thanks!
@AncientGameplays No problem friend!
will buy oled when its below $400 😊
will never happen. Will get discontinued before that. At $550 with promotion on Amazon though
Too bad that Amazon doesn't sell this in my country (Australia).
too bad indeed... try maybe another website?
Looked right after I wrote that comment man. Can't seem to find anything. Oh well it is what it is lol. @@AncientGameplays
Dammit. I just bought the LG Ultragear with the same panel, but much higher price...
Damn, let's hope it is slightly better at least!
@@AncientGameplays I wish I could say it was. But, I may need to registry edit/ fresh install windows. I can only get 240 on desktop. In game it insists 75Hz is the cap.
4K 27" oled 144+ would be endgame for me. Still waiting for oled 27 4k.
4K I would go for 32" though
4k at that size is pointless as you can't resolve the pixels. only really starts to be useful in upper 30-40" range
European price: 750-800 EUR. How they will compete with the big brands, I have no idea.
They're still a "new" brand with only 3 years in the gaming market. They need to get things done smoothly. US prices are already great.
@@AncientGameplays The geekbuying link you put up shows Poland as shipping location, but it doesn't say if the prices are even including sales tax. So it might even be +21%
Jesus, the back plate just says 'LG'😂
oh, it's your own monitor, my mistake😂
loooooooooooool
😞 The sad thing is that, as I read in the comments, so many people cannot afford this monitor and consider it relatively expensive. We are in the 21st century, with great technologies, and $600 is a big problem. 🙋👍
Well, a monitor is something that lasts you years ans years and is the best investment you can make
@@AncientGameplays We receive content through the monitor, it can be said that it is almost the most important for our comfort.
that's what I believe yes@@rafmc6053
How good is HDR on an OLED?
Great, pretty much the only reason to fork up extra cash over an IPS.
It works well for sure, but these "lower" end HDR models are still not there in terms of HDR performance
wish it was ultra wide. I don't know whats up with me with ultra wide these days
I believe KTC will release an Ultrawide soon as well!
Is it available in 34''?
no
Not that I know, but ktc will release one I believe
Ok I wait 2 more year for monitor available in my country
Damn son!
Haha... yeah. affordable. 800$!
I'd say personally affordable is under 400$ for a well speced monitor. Though its nice to see the price climb down this far.
Hopefully it continues downwards.
it's $650 with the coupon my friend (as stated in the video) :D
if only it was 32inch and curved!
Msi just announced their OLEDs with relatively reasonable pricing. Gigabyte should release soon, too. Want to see how it affects the market, including the monitor in this video. I was looking at this monitor on Amazon today.
Interesting, need to lay an eye on it
So no text heavy games?😢
Text will be fine on games usually haha, just no on windows
Mahito? Really? Hahaha no hate. But man this screen leaves me wondering if I should spend more on an alienware ultrawide oled, get an lg oled tv for a bit less than that, or just get this. The trade offs are wild lmao.
Just wait because in some months we'll have way better oled monitors!
Expensive then my whole pc
Hmm 700$ it's a start I guess but still too much to pay for a monitor imo.
Its now at $650 with a coupon. For OLED 240Hz? Great value IMO
Wish it was glossy $600*@@AncientGameplays
@@AncientGameplays I do know it's a great "value" ofc, it's just the price itself that's still too high. I'll put up with VA and IPS until OLED becomes truly affordable.
I would argue oled is never going under $600 the cheapest oled you can get is the LG A2 and that one does 60hz.
Yeah my PC is only $1000. No way I would spend 700 on a monitor.
Muito barato em países desenvolvidos com o salário local, no Brasil, é teu rim no mínimo 🤣, um semelhante é 1225 dólares e não é OLED, com a renda média de 660 dólares em trabalho formal (minha cidade)
está tudo louco hahaha
It's still not 1080p for the competitive crowd. Waiting eagerly for one!
1080P is dead, why would you want a lower resolution with already 240Hz?
@@AncientGameplays You're absolutely right, but I like the smaller 25" 1080p panels for the competitive edge they provide, especially with how nice OLED is for motion blur. I know I am definitely in the minority here, though. In any case, awesome video as always!
1440p goes up to 480hz anyway higher in next few years 1080p oled monitor wouldnt look good just lower gpu settings wont change overall performance @jimmat686
just checked our local market and the cheapest offer is 900 USD. eh.
You have amazon.com. it was $550 last week
@@AncientGameplays i don't. they don't ship to my country
Mahito wallpaper... Omg poor Nanami...
True...sad
Ugh... Still no affordable 16:9 32" OLED... 😞
True
Does anyone have this monitor for a few months now and can vouch for it?
Still working well here
When 800$ became affordable?
When you got to Amazon.com and have a 150$ coupon, plus 10% discount, making it around $550...
@@AncientGameplays yeah now that you put it like this ok
not in eu like sweden
EU prices are different, but yeah
Going from 4k 60 hz to 1440p 240hz g7 was a big mistake i cant accept the quality loos for me is to much
you're going to lower pixel density, that's why.
Don’t go any higher than 27 inches at 1440p. If you have the 32 inch 1440p version you will definitely notice a massive clarity loss. 1440p at 27 inches looks really good.
@josh8oh8 that's why I bought 27 inch version but can tell that my old monitor 4k was 24 inch and was 185 ppi , this is massive difference for me
@@josh8oh8 This. I used a 27/1440 for over a decade and also a year or two on the 16:10 version of that screen with same PPI. It's perfect PPI.
I now run 48" 4K 120 and at correct distance the PPI is very similar to my old 1440. You can't see individual pixels unless you have very good eyesight.
Glad Nvidia has superior high refresh rate support with their G-Sync technology which puts AMD to shame. RIP AMD🎉
dude, you're out of this world xD
not availaible in india rip
sadly....
We have different definitions of affordable
$550 after discount? For oled? That's cheap
@@AncientGameplays if you want oled then maybe but a 144hz monitor at the same resolution is the better value even if it’s an IPS panel. Acer for example has a 1440p monitor for $200 on Amazon in the US at least. Yeah oled is nice but that price is still steep considering you gotta have a pretty beefy system to push 240 at 1440p
1170 US dollars cause import charges XD
Damn import charges haha, can't you make it reach your home other way?
Its the same price as the other ones....799
you need to watch things properly. Its $650 with amazon coupon and $550 if you pick the 10% brand discount in the checkout
So Fabio has not really looked for the issues when using the windows dark mode then? I would not recommend any "computer nerd" ie us that cant use any light themed os an woled because of the issues they have with gray/dark gray shades. the gray/dark gray shades, ie shades just before it gets pure black are looking "dirty". To me it looks like black "interlaced" lines we had on crt monitors but a bit thicker in those shades, definitely a deal breaker for us dark mode users(what else would a computer nerd use"
Until that issue is fixed no woled should be recommended as a monitor, that is if u are not only 24/7 gaming on it that is.
to spot the issue just open up an folder and then u might see the issue on the empty space of the folder, for me it was darker horizontal lines, and it is present on all the woled based monitors.
Sincerely? I didn't really notice those "issues" especially while gaming. On Windows it was also fine for me. It isn't perfect with gray shades but far from bad, and I never noticed it besides windows.
i do need to test more OLED monitors to make sure of things though
@@AncientGameplays It is an issue that not many reviewers actually talk about, sometimes they mention it, in a passer by way so to speak, just for a sec and then they dont talk about it more during the review, but it is such a big issue to me and from the looks of it some users as well that they returned their monitors, including me.
If the shade is not solid it is a nope for me, heck no lcd monitors of mine, including my VA panel that can have this issue display it.
Was such a let down in this regard but I was at least much more competitive with the oled compare to even my 390hz acer. Wish current oled already were 360 or 480hz and no issues with darker shades in desktop use though.
Those aren't present on my LG, you can't take your experience and apply it to everything.
@@drdaddy777 had lg as well, then Asus rog, people reviewing their woled monitors on the story sites rhe they them from purchased talk about these issues and it seems to be brand agnostic, there is just how much of it u can spot/see ie if u are sensitive to it.
Had an Asus flip x 13" laptop and it used a "proper" rgb panel and I never saw the issue at all and it was brighter as well, it was the best screen I ever used. But such screens are small so different way of producing those and different cost as well.
@@Pillokun each monitor has a weakpoint/downside. OLED is far superior in every metric and worth it for any perceived grey issues. I don't see grids on my LG 48" C2, because I'm not sitting right next to it. It's such a non-issue and I'm the sort of guy that sent back multiple LG IPS based monitors in past for dust contamination.
I've seen pictures of the smaller monitors with it and it's bad, but not all WOLED IPS suffers from this, because at correct distance with a 4k panel, it's basically invisible.
Our idea of affordable or great value, differs greatly. $700 for a 27" anything, is not affordable nor a great value unless you are living in a high income situation. An affordable and great value 27" monitor would be in the $100-$150 range.
Id you saw the promotions in US, it goes down to $550 which according to salaries accross the globle and considering it is OLED, yes, it is affordable.. a $150 monitor is a cheap monitor, i consider affordable something that's priced very well for what it brings to the table
@AncientGameplays $550 for a 27" is not affordable, it is, however, absurd. Screen burn-in, shorter life, stupidly high price =terrible value. I'll die on this hill. Clearly, you're being paid to push this absurd agenda. Anyone who pays $600 for a 27" monitor is either rich, an idiot, or both.
@AncientGameplays wow, you deleted my comment? What a jerk
@@Im2Old4ThisShite i deleted no comment whatsoever, yet you're here calling me a jerk...grow up kid
@Im2Old4ThisShite $500-700 is great value for a OLED monitor, u do know oleds usually go for 1k right?, no oled monitor is gonna be $100 💀 + they are high priced for a reason its the latest technology and burn in only happens if u keep ur pc on for 24/7 for years, do ur research instead of throwing a tantrum
