I just got this monitor. I use on Windows 11 with auto HDR. It's plenty bright enough, and it's an absolute beast in terms of in-game performance.
Most people seem to misunderstand HDR. It's not about pure brightness, it's about the *_INCREASED DYNAMIC RANGE,_* which is extreme with the infinite contrast ratio of OLED panels.
The only exception being use in brightly-lit rooms, as he demonstrated here.
Can't wait for it to release globally and to see it against the ASUS ROG model! Exciting.
exactly how many people have studio lights on to game? this reviewer is ridiculous
High power though 74 watt max 94 watt. Even my LG 32 inch VA 2k 144hz 65watt.
@@akaChriss4L on paper it looks like the asus will dominate but of course we will see irl
appreciate the honesty bring on more tech details :)
Many thanks for the sincerity. you are a very informative channel and also impartial keep it up
Huge thumbs up for the UFO test at the end! :D
Blurbusters test was awesome to see, can’t wait for mine next week!
bro thats a great review, i am suprised you havent 500k+ subs
Damn good first impressions "review," man. 'Preciate it.
Can’t wait for your review
Thank you! I was waiting for this review. What is your opinion about this monitor compared with the LG Ultragear 32GQ950-B 4K 32inch monitor? Is the 32GQ950-B better buy for you? Thanks for answering the question.
That monitor is beautiful, I hope I can buy it soon
You can turn SDR brightness up in the display settings in Windows 11 I know for sure. When I got mine I almost sent it back, then I found the slider on 20% lol Turned it up to 80% and it's incredibly bright now. It made HDR brighter too.
How is the oled performance though after doing this like does the colours look bloated and do you still get deep blacks?
Do u like the remote control and thick bezels? This is anti PC gamers, Idk why LG do this. The reason why I dont want C2 because I dont wanna turn on turn off using a remote.
This is a bullshit work around that ruins the colors and only works in SDR. Don’t believe the hype.
this is good to know
@@fynkozari9271 theres a power button on the monitor, and remotes exist so it wouldn't be as a hassle to change a setting
Got mine monday & i love it !
How long did it take for yours to come in because I purchased mine from the LG website on Monday
Mine hasn't even shipped yet wonder what's taking so long smh
It looks like the edges are thick but its actually more screen for the pixel shift. So the screen can move around but you dont actually lose any picture.
The larger bezels allow the screen to shift around to help prevent burn in.
Knew it wasn't going to hit the brightness levels I would need/want from the moment they announced 150 nits full field white without calibration. My AW QD OLED gets about double that, and I wouldn't mind more still, though I've had it for ~8 months, so I obviously find it acceptable. Don't think I could deal with this though.
Wanted this so bad after buying my lg c2 42 but no regrets now love my glossy screen and 4k 120hz. Good enough for me
Really gotta appreciate the honest raw impressions.
I second this. Love the honest first impressions.
The problem with first impressions is you don't even know how to use it lol so now you risk spreading false information and it makes you look dumb later.
Is he using Vivid mode in the OSD menu? Is he on Windows 11? Is his Brightness level set to max in Windows? He never checked or mentioned any of that
@@ThisIsExile91 LG themselves have rated this panel at 200 nits. That's not bright at all..no windows settings can change that.
@@CrystalNinja07 I have the monitor. It's more than 200 nit using the wrong modes
What's your experience in gaming at 4k 32 inch like the LG 32GQ950 compared to 27inch 2k? especially Single player games if you have tried some
glad i bought the XB283K you reviewed
Hi, have you ever tried the lg c2 tv? If you have, would love to know how you feel about the brightness
Tnx for the video! Did u use windows 11? I heard the hdr on win 11 is best
When it coming to Australia!!! Been searching everywhere but nope
For sure buying this bad boy.
So after the review I’m definitely changing my mind. I think I’m gonna just go with the Alienware oled.
Hello, can you review the LG 27GP95R ? :p
Hey, If you had the choice to only use this, or the GQ950, which one would you keep?
I like the hybrid finish & a 3 month recap
bro you have it on energy saver mode i have the screen and use vivid option its pretty bright
Thank you for honest review dude.
Idk if it is because of yt compression, but while you was playing the game, the visibility of players looks terrible.
hi bro...can we feel we are playing in 4k monitor with this 27grt95qe? can you see any pixelation on the game? what are the monitors with 27 inch 4k 240HZ?
Need to turn off the eco mode for the screen to get brighter. However, it doesn’t fix the awful matte film on top of the panel.
In the settings there must be an option to increase the brightness of dark places. LG OLED TV has it.
Have you done a best brightness monitors review
well thats dissapointing. whats the second best monitor 1440p 240hz for picture quality? i wanted to buy that but after ur test no more. what other monitor can you recomend ?
Also I have the same monitor but it doesn't allow 240 hz in Fullscreen mode seems like a bug does your display do the same thing.
for the monitor brightness, i heard u can turn off power saving mode or performance something like that and the brightness will be fine have you tried that? my 2 biggest problems with this monitor preventing me from paying 1000$ is the brightness and the matte finish.
HOw did you hook up from the monitor to your PC? What cords?
What are those keycaps you are using on the keyboard
I am waiting for this monitor to come in a 24.5" format same specs w/ glossy display!
I always play in the dark so hopefully it’s bright enough for me
i dont like that the remote can turn off my other LG monitor, i have the 27GN95B-B as my 2nd monitor and have for some time and it turns them both off sometimes lol. i found setting the monitor to vivid looked a lot brighter vs default gamer 1 and i generally keep my room darker. the colors, visual clarity, and smoothness is still top notch. a game i play called smite i can go into the game files and increase the fps cap from default 150 to whatever i want and going from 150 to 240 was more noticeable on this panel vs my pg279qm i took off my desk for this. i can tell the difference in refresh rates in general but it was never more noticeable till now.
I did not see you turn off the default eco option which you must do to get the max brightness.
I took your advice and got this monitor on Amazon and it just came in today I was so excited to open it... It didn't come with the remote and it doesn't work😩
Does the Monitor or Powerbrick gets hot while using?
you know why that monitor has a slight jiggle? it solves the issue of rigidity. could make all the difference with a small enough but potentially damaging panel bump or boop
Coming from a 32 inch 4K here - do you feel the 1440P is a noticeable downgrade from 4K in gaming?
Did you turn off energy saving mode? That will disable the luminosity algorithm so it doesn't auto dim
+1
Yeah this sucks made it alot better when i turned it off
I turned it off and it still dims. Also will still dim full screen games and even change the color profile.
I paid $350 for LG32gk650f in 2021, VA 1440p 144hz. Idk if $1000 a good price oled 240hz 27 inch. Thats triple the price for a smaller screen 96 extra hz. I know its oled but thats just too much. Even the big 42 inch C2 under $700 in 2022.
Your always paying a premium price for high hz
Did you use a Hdmi cable or Display port for this?
Please compare it with Alienware AW2723DF. That’s also a 240hz (OC 280Hz) display
Nice i pre order the lg 27gr95qe and it looks great but it wasn't enough brightness for my taste at 200 nits. I end up buying the lg 32gq850-b and I love it. I guess I'll wait when realese a 32" oled 240hz .
Honestly might order the GQ850, It's a good value right now, Plus it can do 4k 120hz which is nice.
For pc gaming what would be the better port display port or hdmi 2.1
Think we should w8 for QD Oled monitors. They are brighter.
The search for the perfect monitor continues
you can turn up the brightness in windows settings
Anyone know who makes the desk seen in the video?
When I switch my monitor to HDR, I also have to turn up the brightness because SDR in HDR have their own brightness settings on the monitor itself.
good first impression, I think I'll wait for the ASUS model, the heatsink will really help this panel though it will still be matte
Do you know when the ASUS model releases?
Are you using the hdr calibration app supported by windows 11? For me it’s made all the difference. I have the dell s3422dwg, as per your recommendation. I switched from windows 10 to 11 and so that I could set the monitor in auto hdr and with the calibration app the hdr experience is night and day from what I was getting on windows 10 with just the slider. I always leave it in hdr mode now even though it’s just a basic va panel. Idk if it can do much for the brightness but it's worth a shot.
have the same monitor and it is perfect with hdr in windows 11 too! briefly had the aw3423dwf and sent it back because it had coil whine and the text was very hard to read.
Wow I have to check that out I have the same monitor, but just purchased the LG 34gp83a so I can return the Dell s3422dwg I'm on windows 10
@@korn2040 get windows 11, the windows hdr calibration app and set the saturation to max. You can put the monitor in desktop hdr and keep auto hdr on. I've found that max saturation makes sdr content just look more like normal sdr content instead of washed out and everything looks better and the hdr is much more impactful this way as well.
@@michaelpalomba2820 I just returned the s3422dwg for the new Alienware qd OLED it's amazing and I switched to windows 11
@@korn2040 oh man I really want a qd oled... I might have to sell the s3422dwg and switch over
So I was on reddit earlier and someone said that by upgrading from Windows 10 to 11, the brightness got a lot better. Not sure if youre already on Windows 11 already but might be worth a try.
@TheHebrewHammar ,
I prefer Windows 11 but most things are basically identical.
I was kind of disapointed to see your review... i was expect "more". I have a 27GP850, worth change for AW2723DF? Like a lot your review about it. In my country cost 630€
This would have been a perfect review if you reviewed on console (PS5). I love that you tested in BF42 and not some racing game.
Is anyone having trouble with the sound on this? If i plis in my headphones I Can hear, but I can’t hear sound externally on the monitor. Help
What keyboard is that? 🔥
If only they did a glossy version 😔 gave up with waiting for what I want and just got a 42 inch c2
I dont know what you mean by LG doing a better job by their coating elsewhere. I have had multiple of their 27" 4K monitors and they all looked like Vaseline was smeared on the screen. You could see it on a white screen. It's so trash.
No surprise this can't get bright. It's still a woled panel.
Waiting for asus one i guess they have a custom heatsink to drive up the brightness
What about text clarity in Win? Does the anti-glare coating have a big impact? Can PS5 use 4K 120? How effective is it?I have an LG 42C2 and SONY M9, how does it compare to the M9 in terms of gaming?
The text clarify was already not great because of WOLED so it looks blurry and there’s fringing, but the anti glare coating adds salt to the wound.
@@iKayorei
is there a hdr 1000 mode?
I am thinking the lg 48GQ900-B 4K 138hz or this I dont know.
Staring anemometer for long periods of time during gaming sessions is hard on my eyes so I personally don't mind the dimness.
You can fix the Brightness in Nvidia control panel, done. Amazing monitor the most fluid experience I have played on. Hes right if you care about performance 10/10 zero lag input delay feels. Quality is phenomenal but hes right out of the box it did feel a bit dim 8.5/10. Some pc adjustments can fix that issue though.
When you raise the brightness in the nvidia control panel is also degrades the image quality by a huge margin. It's not the same picture you get as if you were just raising the brightness on the monitor settings itself. I have this monitor and have decided to return it due to no work around with the display being so dim.
Man that lack of blur at 9:27 is absolutely bonkers.
At 8:55 in battlefield settings, why didn’t you put the brightness at 100 ? Thanks for the review !
The setting you're referring to is only a setting for battlefield, this doesn't cap or control the actual display's brightness. More of exposure control than brightness.
Pretty valid point seeing how most of your experience in the video was playing a game that had its brightness set to 50% while complaining that you couldn't see anything. Battlefield 2042 is notoriously dark in some areas of the maps so I'm looking forward to your full review testing it out on some other games as well!
@@Cielinky True. He should have tried different games. Battlefield can be a bit dull in some area's. Also windows 11 might help alot with brightness issues. BTW, I have seen alot of reviews about this monitor and brightness wasn't that big of a deal for them, he really hates it. Then again, he has seen and tested ALOT of monitors, so i get that his standards a a bit higher, but for the casual players the brightness should be good enough imo. This monitor is a fucking beast, the only this is the matte finish.. Im not a hater and no LG fanboy, but I just hope that people shouldn't jump to conclusions by 1 reviewer. Thoughts?
@@daanradi4659 brother i have really important question i am not a gamer at all. What i love to do is watch movies 🍿 so my question is should i buy this monitor for movies?
Shouldve turned energy saver off which is on high by default, brightness jumps a shit load.
Does anyone feel like the response time is higher then .09ms at 60hrz . My c1 as far as response time and input lag , blow this out of the water . Feel like I’m stuck in glue, switch back to my c1 and my movement and response time was out the roof compare to this monitor .. returning it & buying the c2 .
How about burning in windows??
Appreciate the honesty and not just another reviewer going gaga over their first Oled...
This is where QD-Oled is much better especially for brightness and colour saturation...
Let's bring on 32" 16:9 4k/240hz QD-Oled's
And 27" 4K QD-OLED
@@Shadowsmoke11 27" is just way too small for me personally and 1440p is sufficient at such a small size...
4k at 32" is much more appreciable
@@Shadowsmoke11 I currently have the AW3423DW and that's about as small as I would want to go especially as a gamer who uses a controller primarily...
If your hunched over point blank with K&M I guess 27" is good but even then I'd be squinting..LMFAO
Do you know if turning on local dimming for ips monitors increases the response time?
no it does not increase the response if anything it will cause more delay that was my main reason for sending the coolermaster tempest gp27u back
That overly bright room isn’t ideal for a OLED. Not surprised that it looked great once those lights were off.
100% agree. I got my pre order and I sent it back because I’m not paying $1000 for how dim it was and 1440p fuck that shit. Give me 4k and double the brightness and I’d consider it. With how it was I was not impressed call me crazy.
**edit** before any shit talkers come around I did use it on windows 11 sdr and hdr. Using the windows slider for brightness as well which ruined sdr. I also used it with a MacBook Pro M1 Max and same situation. Not for me and I assume it’s to avoid burn in situations.
Hey there! I have been using this monitor for the past 2 days and have noticed on full screen games, it's SUPER DIM. When I put the game into windowed mode, or windowed full screen, it gets way brighter.
I am running HDR, and full brightness and it's very dim and disappointing.
Let me know if you have the same issue with the full screen/windowed mode issue with the brightness.
Some have said turning off the energy saving mode in the menu fixes it, but it did not for me, and you can only do this in SDR regardless.
I'll definitely test that out, thank you for the info!! And same during the unboxing, turning energy saver off didn't change anything, at least in the moment I turned it off.
@@TypeCTechReviews Of course! Please let me know how the full screen/windowed mode changes things for you. Also forgot to mention I noticed the brightness increasing when I turn adaptive sync off. I've boosted the default brightness on the nvidia controls to ~65-70% (+15% from default) and it looks great until I open the game in full screen. Looks beautiful in windowed fullscreen or windowed, but not ideal because I don't run competitive games like valorant at native res (I run at 1080p @ 240hz full screen).
Additionally, I've tried to connect this monitor to my macbook for work, and the colors are HORRIBLE and I've tried every setting possible.
I'll probably returning it and re-purchasing an XG27AQM (at full price because I bought one during Black Friday but returned because the LG OLED was announced) to use for both gaming and productivity. Super sad this monitor was an awful experience for me and others.
@@dylenh4597Do you like the XG27AQM? I‘m Looking for a 1440p 240Hz (or higher) Monitor But don’t know Which i should buy.
@@lukiohearn173 Yes! the only issue I had was it was switching between inputs laptop vs PC when both were plugged in at the same time, other than that, great colors when you mess around in the menu a bit, and you can overclock to 270hz. Super solid. I'll be switching back to it.
@@TypeCTechReviews Turn HDR on in Windows then open HDR options and move the SDR/HDR slider all the way to 100%. That will max out the brightness on this monitor.
In 1-2 years oled moniters are gonna be great
This is a very honest review. How do I know? I pre-ordered and have this monitor. HDR or not this monitor is comically dim. It got me thinking about all the tech purchases I’ve made in my life and I honestly think this is the most disappointed I’ve ever been in a product. You spend $1000 you should be blown away and if you’re blown away by this it could only mean one thing: LG gave it to you for free. I will be returning this immediately, do not buy this monitor.
I'm kinda impressed he can review the monitor while casually killing ppl in Battlefield
Thanks for the honest review, I had it on my shopping cart already just about to order it, then I saw your review, thanks
I will pass, I just need one that won’t make my eyes tired, haven a big issue finding for writing and photography, currently using a sceptre nebula , I know is cheap 400 bucks,
Thanks again 1k is lots of money I don’t do gaming, someone say an oled monitor would not hurt the eyes
Finally, someone who did a UFO test.
At this price point It sucks that it doesn't include USB C. I have both a gaming PC and a MacBook Air that I connect to a Dell USB-C 4k monitor.
I know most haven't tested OLEDs on PC before, but trust me dont buy into the WOLED hype because its in suitable sizes.
I tried the LG C2 42, woled, and the AW3423DW qdoled, immediately got my money back from the C2 because of the brightness.
The QDOLEDS will come rolling in, be patient, the difference will be worth it. WOLED brightness is disgusting at around 150-180 nits full screen.
360p only??
The brightest is a big deal, but adding that to a matte finish, that's a hard pass for me.
Which is your favorite monitor at the moment ?
Does anyone else have a problem with grey colors having really bad stripes showing and also bad uniformity?
them using a power brick is pretty disappointing. i could understand if the back was super thin, but its not
That is what I was afraid of. I mean in single player games it’s fine but to play fps games it’s just to dark.
No sound?
I don't care about gaming, I just want the color dynamics and black to be black. Have had the OLED TV now for 7 years and it still amazes me. My 2 year old Nano IPS gaming monitor not so much. Except the 144Hz G-sync looks smooth in games of course.
You lucky son of a....! I'm from the Netherlands so still not available :'( Does it support 1440p at 60hz too? My 1080Ti is perfect for 1440p60 so yeah. Hopefully if I'm lucky, I'll be able to snag a 3080, depending on the price.
Should definitely be upgrading your GPU before buying a $1000 monitor!
Imagine how awesome this OLED monitor looks in real life… it would be like eye candy.
The only downside is burn in.
burn-in is nonsnes - I say this from a 2016 OLED (2nd gen oled) a $10,000 TV which has been used hours every day with static images and zero burn-in
@@cje7004 You’re comparing a 10,000$ TV to a 1,000$ monitor…
@@cje7004 I’ve heard that it can be with luck, if you’re lucky you get a good quality OLED that’ll never get burn in but if you’re unlucky you’ll get a badly built OLED that’ll get burn in after only a few years or even months.
I‘ve seen OLED TVs in the stores wich start at like $1,500 and the videos on them looked exactly like real life.. I can’t imagine how your $10,000 OLED looks like.
god i love reviewers that arent afraid to speak their mind, looking forward to the full review
Why did he disable Nvidia fps counter? I wanna see how much fps hes getting.
@@fynkozari9271 Apparently 240 since he reffered to the smoothness being due to it being 240 hz lol
The matte finish was way way more aggressive than I thought, it’s actually worse than my cheap budget monitor like why did they use such a low quality coating on oled, it’s disgusting. The text fringing is noticeable too, this monitor is good only for purely gaming.
Is there a VA or IPS version? Not a fan of oled for gaming monitors.
