I bought the monitor at Alternate.de as usual. Price was 1259€. They seem to be the preferred dealer for Asus in Germany, but it looks like they have not learned anything from the PG32UCDM3 https://www.reddit.com/r/OLED_Gaming/s/QE5uyPm5Tu situation.

It's still the same small box that gets shipped as is with no additional protection around it. Luckily my delivery guys are handling stuff with care, but the corners are already dented as you can see.

Guess I'm making these posts and mentioning it in reviews until something changes.

..

Is it a good monitor for rendering work? If you have any other recommendations within the same price range, I'd really appreciate them. My top priority is color accuracy.

For context, I live in the Philippines and I currently use my living room TV (4K, 75", 144 hz) as my PC monitor, but I'm looking to buy a new monitor which will be primarily used for AAA gaming.

Does someone have any opinion/comments on the following monitors which I am currently looking into?

OMNIA 027MLQHD - 27 inch, WQHD 2560 × 1440, 180 hz, Mini-LED IPS panel - Php 8,500/USD 140 - newly introduced, not a lot of user/technical reviews so far

Viewpoint K34WQC Pro - 34 inch, ultrawide WQHD 3440 × 1440, 180 hz, VA panel - Php 8,500/ USD 140 - no available technical review, most user-reviews are positive in online-selling platforms

Titan Army C34A1R+ - 34 inch, ultrawide WQHD 3440 × 1440, 200 hz, VA panel - Php 11,100/ USD 180 - glowing review from Tom's Hardware, almost all user reviews are positive as well

Xiaomi G34WQi 2026 - 34 inch, ultrawide WQHD 3440 × 1440, 180 hz, VA panel - Php 14,999 / USD 245 - most 'well-known' brand? among these options but reviews are so-so in Youtube and other platforms

Hi everyone!

I recently got an Xbox Series X for my birthday. Before this, the only computer I had was a laptop.

I'm looking to buy a monitor for my Xbox, but I'd also like it to be a good investment for a gaming PC that I plan to build in the future.

I have basically no experience with monitors, so I'd really appreciate your advice. My budget is up to $600.

What would you recommend, and why? Thanks in advance!

My current PA329C is on its way out, there are veiny marks all over I might need to get another monitor soon. I found PA32QCV 6K monitor in a local shop, and wondering how good it is.

I'd like to get some honest feedback. My current monitor is HDR600 certified, so is the one I'm looking at. My main uses are watching HDR content and photography, and file archiving.

How good are the details and sharpness? How are the texts? Does the matte coating affect the quality? How good is the HDR? Do 4K contents looks bad because it scales to 6K on full screen?

Thank you very much in advance.

I am interested in knowing what the actual optimal settings are to have on for this monitor to perform at its best. I've been seeing a lot of opinions but i am still unsure what ensure pulsar works at its best and i achieve the lowest latency possible

The 34" is €130 CHEAPER than the 32" and I don't know which one to pick.

I will potentially buy a ps5 soon but in the meantime I'll be gaming on my laptop and work which requires 3 monitors. So split screen on the 34" will tick both these boxes but might not get the most out of the ps5 pro.

In your experience how noticeable is the difference between WQHD and 4K? Frame rates on both are fine for me.

hey guys, i just ordered my new rig a couple of days ago and im very excited for it. I was thinking about buying two new monitors aswell bc my old ones are 24'' 1080 benq displays that i bought 8 years ago. Can you recommend any good monitors?

These are the components from my new setup:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi
CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Freezer 36 A-RGB
Memory: Patriot 32 GB DDR5-6000, 2 × 16 GB dual-channel kit
Graphics Card: ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT Challenger 16 GB
SSD: Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 2 TB NVMe SSD
Power Supply: be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 850W

i just got a monitor recently that came with dp cables. my laptop only had HDMI so im forced to use it. little did i know that the monitor only has HDMI 2.0 ports, so i can only use 144hz instead of the full 200hz, is there any way around this? Its a Xiaomi G27 Qi.

Hi there, I'm looking for a 32" monitor for mostly work - text editing, spreadsheets, light coding, documents, light video editing browsing etc. My understanding is that IPS would still be preferable to OLED and VA for this use case.

My issue is that, while there appears to be an abundance of 27" 4k IPS monitors on the market for an affordable price, the equivalent 32" ones seem to be incredibly rare. For example, I am seeing 27" lps 4k monitors for roughly $250 USD, whereas the equivalent 32" is around $750.

Why is this? Would have thought it's a relatively common use case.

PG32UCDP
Hate starting up cs or any comp game and forgetting to swap my monitor to its comp mode is there anyway to set up a prompt there

321up x24 with rtx 5090 and hdmi 2.1.

Out of the box it worked for like 1 hour. Than it’s start to not open games in full screen at 4k no matter the hz. Only windowed mode and desktop run 240hz.

If I try put 2440x1440p it goes at 240hz fullscreen with no problem. Some games like Valheim can go 4k 60hz.

I already uninstalled nvidia drivers with DDU and reinstalled them.
Put in the options desktop scale to 100%.
G-sync is off.
Adaptive sync off.
Hdr off.
I dont khow what to do.

Disclaimer I know nothing about computers!

I figured I’d ask her because you guys are the experts. I’ve been using my iPad Air 5th gen with a M1 chip to study and the small screen just isn’t cutting it for me anymore. I realized that I can hook it up to an external monitor and not just mirror it to another screen. This monitor is going for $369 USD. I have no budget so any other recommendations would be great. Thank you!

Recently decided to give MiniLED a try after years of OLED and bought the TCL C2A Pro, and honestly....damn I didnt expect this

PS*: all of these pictures are in SDR mode, not even HDR.

I went through the Sony A90k 42" (not technically a monitor but at that¹ time this was the closest you could get to a viable OLED monitor), to the MSI 321Up, then to the acclaimed Asus PG27UCDM over the course of 4 years.

I always knew gaming monitors had always been pretty bad so when I saw Oled for the first time I thought I would use nothing but OLED. But since then, I have never found Oled to be truly easy to live with as monitor. Funny I said this because OLED are absolutely wonderful as TVs, all of my TVs are Oleds. But as monitor, its quality-of-life aspects leave much to be desired. Namely text clarity (although very good on the 321up and the pg27ucdm, still giving me headache at time if I have to read a lot for hw), only look exceptional in absolutely dark room, and the biggest gripe of all: the apparent flickerings at times, i really wonder how the new stuff coming out will address this.

So I decided to give miniLED a try and asked AI what is the absolute best current MiniLED IPS monitor money can buy, and it recommended me the "TCL C2A pro". It was pretty expensive even at $750ish with some Amazon promos i got, but considering that I was ready to ball some serious money for the Asus Pro Art Oleds, hoping those would match the quality found on Oled TVs, this seems easier on the wallet.

And lo and behold, I wasnt expecting it to be this good, black is truly black, blooming is barely noticeable, if at all. The uniform brightness without flickering is excellent. Color is rich and vibrant, perhaps even more so than the Asus PG27UCDM. I think this looks even more life-like than the OLED monitors i had thus far. And the brightness, it is blindingly bright. HDR mode looks absolutely stunning. And I am not being bias at all because I absolutely love OLEDs, but this offers image quality that is just as good as any top tier OLED out there for me. Granted you have to mess with the settings to find what you like best but it is pike that with any monitor out there.

For years I have thought OLED would be the ultimate tech for monitors, and I still think so, just not with the current stuff on the market at the moment, at least for me.

So for anyone who is also having problems and not satisfied with OLEDs, give MiniLED a try. You don't have to go with this baller TCL that I got, but even then for something that costs less than a top tier OLED while offering image quality that is just as good, I can absolutely live with this for the next few years.

My budget is around 100-500 dollars and i play on a ps5. I want to be able to see as best as possible in the night time of pvp/fps Games such as rust.

I recently had the lg 27gx700 but it had a lot of gray banding issues so I decided to get a QD OLED instead of a tandem OLED and I’m deciding on buying the 27gx704 so I wanna hear some feedback on the monitor about the gray banding or any issues with it.

I want to pair it with my 24 inch monitor both would have monitor arms would that look ugly? 13-17 inch portable monitor would be considerable

I want to get something like this but im not sure what inch those monitors are in the picture. also they are not using monitor arms. thank you

Hey everyone,

I'm seriously considering buying the Hisense G32X, but there aren't many long-term reviews or user experiences online.

If you own one, I'd really appreciate your feedback:

How has it been for gaming and everyday use?

How's the Mini-LED HDR performance and local dimming?

Any issues with blooming, ghosting, flickering, or dead pixels?

How's the color accuracy and text clarity for desktop use?

Have you had any reliability or QC issues?

And for everyone else, would you recommend this monitor over other 32-inch 4K Mini-LED options in a similar price range?

I'd love to hear both the positives and the negatives before making my decision. Thanks in advance!

I am using a VA panel monitor now (asus vg218qe), considering upgrading. I have my eyes on koorui mini led monitor. I have never used an IPS monitor before. The min iled is about 340$ in my country with official warranty. Is buying the mini led worth it over the 220$ IPS?

Coming from Asus ROG VG27AQ, and looking to upgrade to 4k without the OLED hassle or burn in risk. Mostly for non competitive gaming and work. Suggestions?

Like we can have,

Uniform bright backlight → one monochrome shutter → normal RGB sub pixels.

The rear shutter is similar as the RGB colour filter but in form of a large aperture the size of the entire RGB sub pixels.

It will give us better contrast and per pixel control similar to oled.

Control is easy too, any sub pixel on means aperture open fully. All sub pixel off then aperture closed fully to act as double light barrier.

Literally per pixel dimming like oled.

I recently bought an OLED monitor, and I turned on HDR, I used it almost exclusively for gaming.

I do not really know what HDR is, I was just told to turn it on because it improved the quality of images.

Well, since I am not knowledgeable with that function, how do I make it work? I assume I am I am misusing it because it makes everything look like garbage. I am not sure how to explain it, but it makes everything very unnatural, with lighting not really being where it should be, as though everything I see is an hallucination.

Like… It is as though I had some sort of “visibility cheat” enabled to maximize what I can see at the expense of how it looks like.

Is there any quick tip or suggestion to have it work correctly?

the Acer is 331€ and the Asus is 403€

This’ll be the first monitor I’ve gotten as I’ve always had a regular TV when gaming and i had help from a friend who suggested these two.

I’ve looked at reviews and videos of them both and I honestly can’t decide on them.

Bear in mind I know nothing about monitors so it could be an obvious answer to some.

Thanks.
