    As others gave already mentioned, you have created a great objective cover of the 2 panels, which makes it A Lot more simpler for usual folks to make up their mind, whilst others just go on and on about subjective matters and never simply the most basic points for the observer, instead they just complicate comparisons even more where people then continue to watch more comparison videos to find an answer... and luckily, you are that person to provide the answers that people are looking for.. Great job man. plus as a side note i would recommend adding affiliate links to these panels from USA, UK and Europe, in that way you could also benefit from the advice and content that you have helped others in making a decision with to.

    it's funny how everyone claims this LG to have an excellent matte coating, while a known monitor reviewer (not mentioning names but most people will know who I mean) says it's absolute garbage. just looks like that person has a grudge against matte coatings in general, can't really take it serious anymore when literally nobody supports that claim once they saw it in person. great review, btw make sure to not export the video as interlaced next time, there are line artifacts everywhere. this would fix it.

    • @peoplez129
      @peoplez129 4 місяці тому

      It's not a bad matte coating. It's better than the 144hz IPS/VA panel it replaced, which was actually similar, and that was an $800 monitor several years ago. From a steep side angle, the coating is glossy enough for a mirror reflection, it really only looks matte from straight on, and gets glossier looking the steeper the viewing angle. The oily look to it is there, but it's really only visible if you're like 6 inches from the monitor with a bright solid colored background, so my guess is people are simply sitting too close. Same with the text crispness on WOLED....it's not bad, and I don't even really see the fringing unless I put my eye up to the screen, and even then it's pretty minimal.
      Personally I like the white subpixel in WOLED. If you do like your monitor relatively close up, the white has an attribute no other screen has: It comes out white at the subpixel level, compared to RGB that needs to create white over a whole pixel that must blend at a distance to look like white. This to me makes the white on WOLED look much purer, especially for closeup viewing, where with a typical screen you get close enough and you'll definitely see the RGB of the subpixels as a kind of chromatic aberration. WOLED looks better both ways, whether it's black background and white text, or white background and black text, because the black always looks pure and the white does too, no matter how close.
      WOLED will ultimately beat QD-OLED, because you're literally getting 30% more subpixels, which does ultimately add more detail to an image at the subpixel level. The reason why WOLED has brightness issues is because that single white subpixel has to do the work of 3 subpixels....now imagine when they do get it to where it can have more brightness, it's simply going to be unmatched.

      I was in this exact same boat and tbh it is a tough decision. One of my friends is unable to play cs/val on the 32 inch. Now that I've gotten use to it I really enjoy it, but the 27 inch 360 hz will always be better for those titles.
      I can still play at a very high level on the 4k but playing against the best players can be tough with a lower refresh rate. But after using the 360hz and switching to the 4k, the visual difference is huge. Personally, unless you really want to play at the highest levels and compete, get the 32 inch. It is so much more enjoyable for every task and the refresh rate difference will be negligible! Hope this helps you get your dream monitor!

      Def personal preference but I went from 25 inch to 32 inch and I love how immersive it feels

      Ive been gaming at 32 inches for about a year now on a 4k panel and i really enjoy it. I play a lot of shooters like Overwatch 2, Escape from Tarkov, and Battlefield. No issues
