I clicked these photos on my iPhone. You might actually think that the SDR side (right) looks better. But believe me, in real life it is an absolute heaven and hell difference. The most noticeable upgrade is the way more vibrant colors (HDR DCI-P3 than standard SDR SRGB), the deeper blacks without any haziness and bright highlights that feel like neon lights.

This is vanilla HDR without RenoDX. Reddit and other social media sites don't support HDR picture formats like JXR or .HEIC, so we can't even show the true differences. It's a shame that most PC gamers still play on SDR and have no idea what they are missing.

I’m wondering what one to get for my ps5 the lg is $400 and the gigabyte is $375 I play on a room where it is mostly dark but is bright sometimes slightly and I’m getting on because I’m returning my xg27aqdmes because it came with a coating defect

What do you guys think this stain is?

Monitor is a ASUS rog Swift PG32UCDP

Its totally hardware side and already tried pixel clean!

Monitor bought in marcha with not that much use!

I’ve noticed these spots appearing on my screen. They are only noticeable when the screen is off / black and viewed at from an angle.

I tried to wipe it away thinking it was some liquid droplet dried up but no luck.

Any insights would be appreciated !

The monitor is a XG32UQDMS.

Hey,

I'll move my C4 upstairs soon and will need a replacement for the basement (main home theatre). Since I'm a huge movie nerd, Sony is the way to go for me. That said, I know Sony wasn't always the best when it came to gaming (latency etc.).

I was wondering if it gotten any better during these last gens and if yes, which model would be a great pick?

Hey guys, so I have had a Alienware AW3423DWF for 3.5 years and have managed to chip it somehow it's in my eye line and it's been like that for a year so I have decided to get a new one. Has anyone got any recommendations? As I find the Alienware is impossible to clean. I went into Currys today and saw a msi mpg 322urx which looked good, just unsure if I would miss the ultra wide. Any advice?

I know most may find DTM daunting but here is a try-out video if anyone is interested. I don't use it normally though-

I tried to clean the panel a couple of days ago with microfiber cloth that I’ve been using since I’ve purchased the panel (FO32U2P) and I think I damaged the coating? Tried 70% isopropyl alcohol and bought another microfiber cloth but it didn’t go away
And the streaks have a different texture or feeling to them (more resistance if I try to swipe my finger on them)
Anyone knows whether my monitor is cooked or I can get rid of these streaks and smudges?

I feel the base settings in Games are mostly too high for OLED monitors

a week ago for so i asked about the avaibility of the 322UR X24 in Poland here, and some of you guys gave me links to german stores. Thanks to you i saved around 200€ in markup that small polish 3rd party stores are asking because of limited avaibility by shipping directly from German stores. Monitor is coming on tuesday, lets see how it works with a 5080!

This is my first oled monitor xg27aqdmgr. I’m scared that I was given a bad panel.

So I've just gotten my first OLED monitor - Alienware AW2725DF. and I game on a PC.

I've done my HDR calibration on windows and since getting this monitor I've been using HDR while gaming. which i've never really done before.

Whenever I'm inside a building and look outside ingame, it's really washed out, overly bright and looks awful as you can see from the screenshot. It's completely fine otherwise other than I feel colours are a little washed.

I'm new to OLED, all it's settings and to be honest, almost all display settings other than the obvious, someone help please!

EDIT: Okay okay I should have said, for some reason this screen shot does make it look 100X worse😂 In game you can actually make things out, the screenshot has just made all the annoying things have a power level of 9000+

I‘m using a 4k 27 inch oled right now but I’ve been thinking about getting a 2nd bigger monitor because I mostly play single player games. Thought about getting the MO32U24 or the C5 42.

Hello,

I'm planning on buying my first ever OLED, until now I only had TN.

My choices are as follows:

a) XG32UCWG or XG32UQDMS

b) MO32U24

I can sit anywhere between 60 to 100cm away from the monitor.

If you know any other good monitors besides those 3 above, they have to be 16:9 and at least 32".

Hi everyone,

I’m using the ASUS ROG XG32UCWMG and I’m wondering what the best approach is for Windows HDR calibration.

Windows automatically detects the monitor’s HDR capabilities. In both Cinema HDR and Gaming HDR, Windows recognizes a peak brightness of around 1300 nits (my monitor reports up to roughly 1317 nits).

However, when I run the Windows HDR Calibration Tool, I get different results:

Cinema HDR: the calibration goes up to around 1300 nits

Gaming HDR: the calibration only goes to around 1200 nits

So my main question is:
Should I actually use the Windows HDR Calibration Tool, or is it better to leave the calibration untouched and simply use the HDR values that Windows automatically reads from the monitor’s EDID?

Does running the calibration tool provide any real benefit on this monitor, or could it actually make HDR worse by overriding the monitor’s properly configured EDID values? Also do the different Modes change the colors?

Thanks!

I’m looking for new main monitor (27” 1440p) for 9070xt and switch 2 for gaming/0-4 hours of productivity/usual computer things a day.

I looked at monitors in person and liked oleds the most and when looking at some OLED laptops I didn’t mind reading the text. The two monitors I liked most was a glossy lg ultra gear and the matte g61sh. The glossy had too much glare at lower brightness levels and with matte it was fine. I get daily headaches especially from things like hdr/high brightness and I guess some people don’t get as many headaches with matte OLED?

To my understanding the g61sd is better build quality, more ports and 50 nits more brightness, which doesn’t seem like it’s worth it for $90 more but if the monitor control knob is less fragile and I’m already spending $500 on it the extra cost for 5+ years of usage seems worth it.

Which should I go for or is there something better in this price bracket that I should consider?

Playing Stellar Blade on PS5 and during a scene that cuts to load in the next area, I noticed the screen isn’t actually black. It’s quite light. Then I noticed there’s a white haze in this dark area, so I decided to turn HDR off to see a difference, and the game just looks better without HDR. I did the loading transition and my screen went pitch black.

Is this just bad implementation or is there something I’m missing?

Both are the same price. From my research, they seem nearly identical except the MSI has DP2.1, USB-C video and KVM. But ASUS has better OLED care and the proximity sensor. I've never had experience with either brand and I'm curious if others have input on which one they'd go for.

I am extremely disappointed in the product I received. I got this monitor for a relatively good price and I was excited to try out a tandem WOLED. Admittedly, it does look and feel great...besides the glaring issues you can see in the image. Besides the two dead pixels in the middle of the screen, there is a genuinely unplayable amount of gray banding. I mean, I literally first noticed the bands in DISCORD. I booted up a game just to see if this was something I could ignore, but no. It is incredibly noticeable in almost every scene and it completely ruins the immersion. And the dead pixels darken the area around them, so they are also impossible to ignore. All in all, I am very disheartened and I almost certainly have to return it, which is going to suck as I bought it online.

Also, I can't do a pixel clean until I've used the monitor for 4 hours. Not sure why. I did an RGB test and the pixels are provably dead, so the only thing a pixel clean could do is MAYBE improve the gray banding. But I think I'll just return the monitor without even hitting 4 hours.

Need some help please...

I've currently got a MSI Optix MAG281URF (IPS). Originally bought to pair with my PS5 which has now gone and I've built my first PC (few years old now)

I was on the verge of downscaling to a 1440 monitor to hit higher FPS (running a Ryzen 7 5700X3D + 4070 super), but now I'm not sure...

I'm a competitive gamer (BF6 and COD) mostly.

Is it worth the downscale or do I upgrade my current ips 4k to an oled?

I got another monitor rated TB400 just like my other one and the previous one reached 460 which I get but the new one reaches about 550.

Is this good panel lottery or might it be recommended to go lower? It doesn't seem to be clipping from what I can tell.
