I really appreciate your content, esp on monitors. I've purchased several through your channel in the past, as well as several recommendations on PC related products, due to doing PC builds for myself, family, and friends. It seems that I'm always needing a monitor with these builds for some reason. This may be the only way I can show support for your channels. Thank you both for presenting these.
I have 2 34in OLED’s. The Alienware DWF from this video and the 34in LG UltraGear that has Anti-Glare(Matte Finish. Will say I like the LG more. Hate matte finishes, but something about this one I like.
Thats what I'm here for. I know my next monitor will be an ultrawide, but its still going to be awhile, so I want to stay up to date on whats best. Currently my pick is the MSI 491CQP, but curious if anything else has come out to dethrone my pick.
Yes, I’m waiting on his ultra wide video too. I’m eyeing the Alienware AW3423DWF and it’s currently on sale for $649.99 USD here in the states. So close to pulling the trigger…
@ if it helps, the AW3423DWF is the most popular QDOLED ultrawide (at least for 165hz). And is highly regarded and recommended. If it’s at a good price I’d say get it. Also he does have a few videos on the DWF. I’ve recently purchased the 240Hz MSI MPG341CQPX version.
@@carlosmolina292You can always return it if it has an issue, but it's IPS miniLED, it doesn't get any better. And the price is amazing, it's cheaper than AOC.
Will you guys ever tackle 43"? Got an ROG VA right now but the ghosting is downright annoying and have been wanting to change it for a while now. Don't care much for UW or OLED but a general roundup would be really appreciated. Well that's if you guys are able to get enough of them to test out.
Waiting for more miniled options is killing me. I want to use HDR so badly but I cannot justify buying an OLED while burn in is still a risk. I keep my monitors 5+ years minimum, and usually just give them to others after that, so I simply cannot trust an OLED to last that long without SOME form of damage.
Burn in is a non factor pretty much. Change a few habits and you'll be good. Most companies give 3 year warranty.. if you're that bothered, burn it close to the 3 year point and get a replacement
Almost two years ago, I managed to buy a brand-new monitor for the incredible price of €100 (including tax and everything). It's a SAMSUNG 1080p 27-inch CRG5. The specifications are: 240Hz Curved VA gaming monitor that also supports G-Sync and FreeSync. It was the last sealed box in a local store in the EU. They wanted to get rid of it in order to showcase the newer models. I still use it almost two years later and I'm still surprised I got it for this cheap. VA is a decent technology, but I still love how an IPS one looks. The next one will surely be an IPS
I would love a video about the ultimate monitor set up. I think a lot of us are balancing gaming, work and watch TV on our monitors, and it's rarely good for all tasks. A video showing the ultimate set up would be a cool video to watch.
The MSI MAG 271QPX was on sale for $530 recently. It's a great deal at that price, now that MSI added the ability for it to receive firmware updates. Especially for the large number of people who think 4K is trash for gaming (low FPS) and 32" is too big for a gaming monitor. 32" is MASSIVE - it's pretty annoying.
32 is too big if you seat close, you need more distance to see the whole 32 monitor at which point 1440p would be perfect for 32", i'm saying that but i have a 27" 1080p. As i don't seat far enough for a 32", i'm seating at 50/60 cm from the monitor
Just got my hands on the ASUS PG32UCDM, was thinking of the P model. But the M model went on black week sale. So that was my pick. And i am happy. This monitor is absolutely stunning
For me the AOC 25G3ZM or Philips Evnia 25M2N3200W were the target. Both with VA panel since I'm a casual 1st person / strategic gamer, and after proper calibration they were excellent. (Finally I chose the cheaper one, with 31.5% VAT in my home country, nothing's simple.)
The Dell G2724D is currently (November 19, 2024) on sale for $149.99 on dell's website. 27" 1440p 165hz measured by rtings to have acceptable contrast, backlight bleed, and good color accuracy. Usually $200. Hopefully, the sale goes to the end of the week.
Thanks for the review, Tim! I just got the (new?) Acer Predator XB323QK V3, it's a 32" (31.5" actual) 4K IPS, 160hz, and it's available right now on Newegg for $600. I'm pretty impressed with it's overall quality, and it'll do me very well for at least a few years until OLED has evolved some. The primary reasons I didn't go with an OLED are the non-RGB subpixel structure and the nausea-inducing flicker.. I'll add that I did have a ASUS PG32UCDP for about a month, and returned it for those specific reasons, though there were other annoyances too. I do wish the Acer had HDR (the Acer has the "not really" HDR that a lot of non-OLEDs claim but don't offer), but overall I'm ok with my purchase.
Thanks for another great video! What about us who needs low brightness? I know some models have high lowest brightness and some few have acceptable lowest brightness. Best regards.
i'm using the Skyworth H24G30F rn that i got for $94, 24" FHD 180hz with good color tuning and decent aftersales (atleast in Indonesia). i've been using this monitor for the past month and i'm loving it (switched from a crappy 60hz laptop display)
Managed to snub the dell for 230 euros actually just right now. I am very excited. My budget was just that. I hope I made the right choice. It was either that or the HP omen 27 for 180 euros
I'm not very knowledgable on tech so I ordered an AOC C27G4ZXU. It should arrive in a few days. I already have the Alienware DWF but I only use it for the "cinematic" gaming experience. I needed a monitor to do the static job with decent refresh, decent colors, doesn't burden my PC, and easy to move when I want to use the DWF. So I hope the AOC C27G4ZXU is good. EDIT: My current "work" monitor is an old Samsung S27D590CS with some burnt pixels.
I left a comment on the last video about the Agon pro ag276qzd thinking you didn't review it, then after you mentioned it in this video, I went and looked for it and not only found it, but I also found out that I've watched it already, anyways, the review answered my biggest concern which was that the monitor isn't dim enough, your review showed a minimum brightness of 2 nits, I'll definitely get this monitor or its v2 as there's only a 10€ difference between them
hey love your guys' content on here and HUB. not sure if you've answered this question before but why do you not examine cheaper off-brand monitors? these are usually, or sometimes exclusively, on amazon. I just did a build for my mom and I found her a 4k 27' 70hz ips for $190 and a 1440p 100hz ips for $110 (from "sceptre" and "ktc" lol). calibration, response times etc. were ok for price point. i thought that they're often working with the same panels, or is it the case that these monitors are unreliable trash not worth considering?
Philips evnia 49" 240hz oled for 1000€ for me. I don't see anything aproaching the value anywhere else atm. Minor cons because nothing is perfect, is reminder to refresh pixels every 4 hours (they should do it like TVs where it runs auto when going in standby so it would ask much less often) and the text is not 100% perfect for productivity, but it's fine and I can't stand my super crisp IPS next to it with its washed out colors and gray blacks anymore side by side, so I'll take it. Everything else is gorgeous, and the usb-c PD is really fantastic, I can plug my laptop and all my peripherals switch to it while charging it. Granted I push 240 only on old games with a RX6800, but the card is fine for 120 in modern games, you don't need a monster either.
Hello sir, would you mind making a list of the best monitors for PS5 PRO? MiniLed, Oled, VA, for all bugdets, thank you so much. Also I want to know if you can review the Xiaomi G pro 27i and know if that's enough for a PS5 PRO.
Thanks for the great content! I'm wondering if you will get the chance to review the MSI MAG274QRF-QD E2. It's currently selling in my region for ~270$ which is almost half the price for which the original sold, and I would love to see your professional opinion on it. It certainly has some interesting features, but also some aspects that leave me a bit wanting.
For those in the UK, you can currently get the samsung odyssey G8 34 inch ultrawide for cheaper than the alienware DWF if you get it direct from the samsung shop. So long as you dont fall foul to samsung's alleged QC issues its the more premium monitor and has more features including being a smart TV.
I was looking at the msi g274qpx for $330 but the lg27gr83q went on sale for $299. Do you recommend I pick that lg monitor up over the msi now that it’s under $300? Please and thanks!!
I was doing the same thing. If you check out the "Best 1440p Gaming Monitors of 2024 [November Update]" video, he says the LG is the one to get if both are the same price. So I thought it was a steal at $300.
The successor to the AOC Q27G3XMN, the G27G4XM, is out in China, and will probably get a global release date soon. It has all of the same features as the former monitor (1440p, 180hz, HDR1000) but upgraded to 1152 dimming zones and changed from VA to IPS, so hopefully black smearing and bad viewing angles will be less of an issue. I'd love to see a review on that when it comes about as it will hopefully be a pretty decent upgrade over the Q27G3XMN for around the same price. I'm holding on my monitor purchase until then.
12:12 Slight correction on the name shown on screen for the $1000 monitor. The MSI 321URX is "MPG" not "MAG" like the 321UPX. You DO get this correct in the video description links though. I only noticed cos I am thinking of buying this monitor. BTW, it's currently around £1200 (over $1500) in the UK and the ASUS PG32UCDM is very slightly cheaper.
I just started to search for a good 1080p 144hz monitor. Im right on time with this one! Only thing is, Im from the EU and evrything is like 10-20% more expensive
which monitor would you prefer for competitive gaming ,the AOC 24G2ZU/BK or the AOC 25G3ZM/BK. I havent decided yet because i am not sure about the 25G3ZM response time.
For competitive I would go with the 24G2ZU/BK is IPS VA has more ghosting normally which is not good for gaming, another option in 25 is the Asus vg259qm ips 240 hz, i had an lg 144 23.8 monnitor and i changed to the Asus 25 and was much better for me very happy with the asus.
I can’t decide between 1440 p 240hz and 4K 144 hz . I have a 3070 but plan on building a new system in 2025 . Probably 5070 range . I play both competitive and single player games but always just for fun .. thoughts ?
Would love to see some recommendations on even larger monitors e.g. larged than 32" & 34"UW. Personally im holding out for something like a 16:9 38" 4k OLED
Thanks for the video, great as usual. Can you please review MSI MAG 27CQ6PF ?? Its a very affordable "RapidVA" from MSI, and I'm super curious to know its actually works to eliminate ghosting and smearing. If so - it could be amazing options for budget buyers like myself. If not... well, MSI G274QPX it is, I guess - the only IPS with actually good performance and contrast, it seems. Or HP Omen 27qs? I understand its MSI's twin
The Asus Rog XG27AQDMG is on sale at Microcenter right now for $550 WITH a free asus mechanical keyboard that’s worth $99 brand new retail. Sweet deal if you’re lucky enough to have a Microcenter nearby . Picking mine up today !
Looking for a monitor $600 absolute maximum with the lowest input lag possible for competitive gaming only (no single player titles). Which would you guys suggest? Is there enough difference in input delay between say a $300 monitor and a $600 monitor to make it worth it? Bit of a noob here...
While 600 is alot for a monitor, My first IPS was near the same price and is now about 100.. Took a good 10 years but we'll all be on these in a few years.
Hi Tim, what do you think of the MAG274QRF-QD E2? Is it still the Goldilocks monitor where everything is just right, just like the one you reviewed 4 years ago?
This may sound like a dumb question, but do different panel types affect how much fps you can get in a game? For example, we know OLED is a better picture than TN, but will the fps displayed be the exact same?
I picked up the Lg 27GS93QE on amazon for $600 and am loving it. Has really high brightness and i feel like its better than the ASUS XG27AQDMG because of the 2.1HDMI support. Dont sleep on this monitor idk why monitors unboxed doesnt review the newer version with much higher peak brightness. Only difference between the LG 27GS95QE and 27GS93QE is that it doesnt have the LED lighting on the back making it much cheaper.
Would you be willing to look into what sort of 16:10 // 3:4 options are available on the market today? More of a productivity and/or secondary monitor focus than gaming.
It would be good if a review was done on the msi mag 32inch 323upf model . Even though it does have a couple of little issues, however it does come with KVM support and is still a not to bad IPS LCD monitor. Food for thought. It is currently going for around $850+ in Australia at some stores. 😎
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
For US right now at Microcenter: Acer Nitro V3bmiiprx 27 (ips 180hz) 2k = $159 (Down from $299) MSI G272QPF E2 27 2K (ips 180hz)= $179 (Down from $199)
I need advice on a monitor for a very niche situation. I play on my PC from across the room in a medical bed...so I need a larger display. I'd say what I'm looking for is 48-50", 4k, HDR, with probably somewhere around 120-144hz.
Which one do I get? - Gigabyte M27Q X for 265 Euro - LG 27GR83Q for 360 euro (±320 on sale) The MSI G274QPX isn't available here anymore, yeah for 500 euro's lol.
Not a huge fan of the $400/500 recommendations. I'd rather stick to 1440p for performance (5800X3D + 4070 TI). Also randomly jumping to 4k / 32" is a choice when the other cost recommendations go back to 1440p and 27"
Can we get a ultrawides updated video? There is very little recommendations out there for people who don't want to go OLED due to burn in risk when using it for mostly productivity reasons.
Great video! you have lots of monitors :D can you please barrow or get mac mini m4 and try it with 27 and 32 inch monitor to see if its possible to get 120 to 240hz ? i really wanna buy some good budget monitor that can offer 4k and high pixel density like retina display

hey love your guys' content on here and HUB. not sure if you've answered this question before but why do you not examine cheaper off-brand monitors? these are usually, or sometimes exclusively, on amazon. I just did a build for my mom and I found her a 4k 27' 70hz ips for $190 and a 1440p 100hz ips for $110 (from "sceptre" and "ktc" lol). calibration, response times etc. were ok for price point. i thought that they're often working with the same panels, or is it the case that these monitors are unreliable trash not worth considering?
The only amazing deal i've found living in EU is the Samsung Odyssey G60SD
Philips evnia 49" 240hz oled for 1000€ for me. I don't see anything aproaching the value anywhere else atm. Minor cons because nothing is perfect, is reminder to refresh pixels every 4 hours (they should do it like TVs where it runs auto when going in standby so it would ask much less often) and the text is not 100% perfect for productivity, but it's fine and I can't stand my super crisp IPS next to it with its washed out colors and gray blacks anymore side by side, so I'll take it. Everything else is gorgeous, and the usb-c PD is really fantastic, I can plug my laptop and all my peripherals switch to it while charging it. Granted I push 240 only on old games with a RX6800, but the card is fine for 120 in modern games, you don't need a monster either.
youp, I'm getting the Agon one for Black Friday! it's down to 500€ rn and I've been craving an OLED for over a year now :D
Hello sir, would you mind making a list of the best monitors for PS5 PRO? MiniLed, Oled, VA, for all bugdets, thank you so much. Also I want to know if you can review the Xiaomi G pro 27i and know if that's enough for a PS5 PRO.
Thanks for the great content! I'm wondering if you will get the chance to review the MSI MAG274QRF-QD E2. It's currently selling in my region for ~270$ which is almost half the price for which the original sold, and I would love to see your professional opinion on it. It certainly has some interesting features, but also some aspects that leave me a bit wanting.
For those in the UK, you can currently get the samsung odyssey G8 34 inch ultrawide for cheaper than the alienware DWF if you get it direct from the samsung shop. So long as you dont fall foul to samsung's alleged QC issues its the more premium monitor and has more features including being a smart TV.
Sometimes you can get refurb G80 32inch for like £750 too.
I would be interested in an esport version of this video with bigger focus on hz and input lag
I was looking at the msi g274qpx for $330 but the lg27gr83q went on sale for $299. Do you recommend I pick that lg monitor up over the msi now that it’s under $300? Please and thanks!!
I was doing the same thing. If you check out the "Best 1440p Gaming Monitors of 2024 [November Update]" video, he says the LG is the one to get if both are the same price. So I thought it was a steal at $300.
I really thought there would be more ultrawides on this list.
With the rise of new gaming tv's for lower costs, have you considered reviewing a few?
Out of curiosity why wouldn't you recommend the super-ultrawide monitors such as the G9?
Would you recommend OLED or WOLED or similar types if text clarity is important?
Text on OLED can be improved using Mactype

Thank you, it also makes it easier to copy/paste the names into a price screener website.
The successor to the AOC Q27G3XMN, the G27G4XM, is out in China, and will probably get a global release date soon. It has all of the same features as the former monitor (1440p, 180hz, HDR1000) but upgraded to 1152 dimming zones and changed from VA to IPS, so hopefully black smearing and bad viewing angles will be less of an issue. I'd love to see a review on that when it comes about as it will hopefully be a pretty decent upgrade over the Q27G3XMN for around the same price. I'm holding on my monitor purchase until then.
12:12 Slight correction on the name shown on screen for the $1000 monitor. The MSI 321URX is "MPG" not "MAG" like the 321UPX. You DO get this correct in the video description links though. I only noticed cos I am thinking of buying this monitor. BTW, it's currently around £1200 (over $1500) in the UK and the ASUS PG32UCDM is very slightly cheaper.
I just started to search for a good 1080p 144hz monitor. Im right on time with this one! Only thing is, Im from the EU and evrything is like 10-20% more expensive
Would the ROG Strix XG27UCS for 360$ be a great deal? How does it perform compared to M27U?
I picked up the GS27QA yesterday. IPS panel, 180Hz, Quad HD-I’m hoping it’s good. Couldn’t find any reviews on it, though.
No mention of the MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED? 🤔 Costs too much?
which monitor would you prefer for competitive gaming ,the AOC 24G2ZU/BK or the AOC 25G3ZM/BK. I havent decided yet because i am not sure about the 25G3ZM response time.
For competitive I would go with the 24G2ZU/BK is IPS VA has more ghosting normally which is not good for gaming, another option in 25 is the Asus vg259qm ips 240 hz, i had an lg 144 23.8 monnitor and i changed to the Asus 25 and was much better for me very happy with the asus.
Between a 4k mini leds or a 1440p oled, which is the better option?
I can’t decide between 1440 p 240hz and 4K 144 hz . I have a 3070 but plan on building a new system in 2025 . Probably 5070 range . I play both competitive and single player games but always just for fun .. thoughts ?
Thanks for the amazing video!
Do you plan to review the: AOC Agon AG276QZD2
It seems to be an "updated" version of the first model
Would like to see a similar video focused on 1440p ultrawides!
Would love to see some recommendations on even larger monitors e.g. larged than 32" & 34"UW. Personally im holding out for something like a 16:9 38" 4k OLED
Thanks for the video, great as usual.
Can you please review MSI MAG 27CQ6PF ?? Its a very affordable "RapidVA" from MSI, and I'm super curious to know its actually works to eliminate ghosting and smearing.
If so - it could be amazing options for budget buyers like myself.
If not... well, MSI G274QPX it is, I guess - the only IPS with actually good performance and contrast, it seems. Or HP Omen 27qs? I understand its MSI's twin
The Asus Rog XG27AQDMG is on sale at Microcenter right now for $550 WITH a free asus mechanical keyboard that’s worth $99 brand new retail. Sweet deal if you’re lucky enough to have a Microcenter nearby . Picking mine up today !
just bought the ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQDMG for $550 on black friday sale, 1 day before I saw it recommended here at $700! very nice
Looking for a monitor $600 absolute maximum with the lowest input lag possible for competitive gaming only (no single player titles). Which would you guys suggest? Is there enough difference in input delay between say a $300 monitor and a $600 monitor to make it worth it? Bit of a noob here...
MSI 271QPX QD-OLED $500 until 11/20
Do you have any suggestions for a 15-16in 1080p monitor?
While 600 is alot for a monitor, My first IPS was near the same price and is now about 100.. Took a good 10 years but we'll all be on these in a few years.
ive been on 1080 p for years should i upgrade to 1440 or 4k? probably going to get a 5090 next year
Hi Tim, what do you think of the MAG274QRF-QD E2? Is it still the Goldilocks monitor where everything is just right, just like the one you reviewed 4 years ago?
I would say that or the xAsus ROG Strix XG27ACS
This may sound like a dumb question, but do different panel types affect how much fps you can get in a game? For example, we know OLED is a better picture than TN, but will the fps displayed be the exact same?
I picked up the Lg 27GS93QE on amazon for $600 and am loving it. Has really high brightness and i feel like its better than the ASUS XG27AQDMG because of the 2.1HDMI support. Dont sleep on this monitor idk why monitors unboxed doesnt review the newer version with much higher peak brightness. Only difference between the LG 27GS95QE and 27GS93QE is that it doesnt have the LED lighting on the back making it much cheaper.
Could you test the Pixio monitors?
Would you be willing to look into what sort of 16:10 // 3:4 options are available on the market today? More of a productivity and/or secondary monitor focus than gaming.
It would be good if a review was done on the msi mag 32inch 323upf model . Even though it does have a couple of little issues, however it does come with KVM support and is still a not to bad IPS LCD monitor. Food for thought. It is currently going for around $850+ in Australia at some stores.
😎
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
For US right now at Microcenter:
Acer Nitro V3bmiiprx 27 (ips 180hz) 2k = $159 (Down from $299)
MSI G272QPF E2 27 2K (ips 180hz)= $179 (Down from $199)
I need advice on a monitor for a very niche situation. I play on my PC from across the room in a medical bed...so I need a larger display. I'd say what I'm looking for is 48-50", 4k, HDR, with probably somewhere around 120-144hz.
LG B4 48" 120Hz OLED ($650)
Dell 27 is on sale for 150 in US. Directly from the dell online store
Which one do I get?
- Gigabyte M27Q X for 265 Euro
- LG 27GR83Q for 360 euro (±320 on sale)
The MSI G274QPX isn't available here anymore, yeah for 500 euro's lol.
FYI Tim, the Dell G2724D is currently on sale for $150 on Dell's own website, a whole $50 off than what the video here says.
Can you please Test the Xiaomi g pro 27i? It is Mini LED with 1000+ dimming zones and ips for 300 Euros. There are not manny reviews on it
Not a huge fan of the $400/500 recommendations. I'd rather stick to 1440p for performance (5800X3D + 4070 TI).
Also randomly jumping to 4k / 32" is a choice when the other cost recommendations go back to 1440p and 27"
Hahaha, yeah at 27 unless doing graphic work or photoshop type work 4k is useless for gaming, and at 32 1440p is good for budget gamers.
Can we get a ultrawides updated video? There is very little recommendations out there for people who don't want to go OLED due to burn in risk when using it for mostly productivity reasons.
Asked this before but i would love to see you test the samsung 57CG952, its an absolute unit and would love to see how well it performs lol
Any recommendations for an OLED monitor for gaming that can also be used for programming?
Great video! you have lots of monitors :D can you please barrow or get mac mini m4 and try it with 27 and 32 inch monitor to see if its possible to get 120 to 240hz ?
i really wanna buy some good budget monitor that can offer 4k and high pixel density like retina display
Begging for a 5K 120Hz monitor. I'd love it to be QD OLED too but i want good full screen brightness with no brightness adjustment on normal mode.
