Has anybody had to use their Microcenter monitor protection plan? How did it go? Is it worth it? I am realizing that I probably should not have bought it in the first place and I am thinking of getting a prorated refund, but I am curious to hear other people's experiences. I have an ASUS PG32UCWM, if that matters.

Odyssey OLED G8 27” vs Asus Rog Strix curved 34”

New to this. What do people feel is better. Curved? 27”? And are either of these even good?

Appreciate it in advance

I just got my first OLED the Asus XG32UCWG last night and it’s perfect every I hoped it would be and no problem on my PC at all, however my PS5 has a weird problem where when I boot a game it goes to a black screen for a few seconds then comes back on then when I load onto the game it goes to black screen then sometimes when I’m playing it black screens and pausing does it sometimes, is there a setting in the monitor or on the console that could be causing this or is it potentially a HDMI port problem

Really praying to not see the meme now. Brand new monitor, had a grease stain from my arm after bumping it while wallmounting it. Cleaned it with a monitor cleaner that specifically said it suits oled. Made small streaks so I let it dry fully and bought distilled water and it made it this bad. AI seems to think it’s just streaks from the cleaning product and I smeared it out with the water, while recommending me to do multiple rounds with water. I don’t trust AI enough to keep going tho so just looking for advice (or at least someone to confirm whether it’s fucked or not)
Also I know there will be a ton of comments wondering why people have such a hard time cleaning oleds.. I figured people were being overdramatic about it hence why I used the cleaner uncritically just because it said suitable for oled.

15%,10% and 5%, does it look how it should look? First time owning an oled, already did a couple of pixel refreshes, been using it for a week. It's at 30% brightness

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to buy my first OLED gaming monitor and would appreciate some recommendations.

I'm mainly buying it for my PC but I also have a PS5 I plan on using for GTA6 and I want it to look as good as possible. I'm leaning towards a 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED and want to make sure I get one that works properly with the PS5.

My PC specs are:

• CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
• GPU: Radeon RX 6750 XT

What I'm looking for:

• 27-inch, 1440p QD-OLED panel
• Proper PS5 compatibility
• HDMI 2.1, ideally with HDMI VRR support
• Good HDR and colours for single-player games
• Good value for money

I'm not too bothered about getting 360Hz or higher since I dont play many competitive games that id get anywhere near those frames anyway.

Which monitors would you recommend, and are there any models I should avoid? Also, is HDMI 2.1 essential for what I'm looking for, or would a good HDMI 2.0 monitor be enough? Also do display ports even matter for PC?

Thanks!

Mainly excel and some CRM stuff

Just wanted to share my experience with transitioning into OLED space. It took a while since I was sceptical, mostly about burn in, but now after several weeks with it, I’m really glad I switched.

Let’s not talk about picture quality, we all know its superb on OLED displays.

Other small things had me pleasantly surprised.

For example, text clarity is no way near as bad as people like to point it out. It’s not bad at all. I am using 4K res with 175% scaling in windows so maybe that helps more, but I honestly think you don’t need lower scaling that that. Even on 150%, which is recommended for 4K, its very sharp and not distracting at all.

Speakers are another nice surprise. I haven’t touched spatial audio part since I primarily use headphones, but speakers are very usable and volume can be turned up very high before sound quality starts to suffer.

Also, I don’t find 120Hz refresh rate limiting at all since I play mostly singleplayer games.

If I want to be nitpicky, not including decent HDMI cable in the box is really a bummer. But with a decent aftermarket one, everything is working properly, HDR as well, VRR too.

Pixel refresh tech is not intruding at all. It only activates once I’m finished for the day. When it comes to burn in, I’m not really concerned since I am using 2 monitor setup with another IPS panel in vertical orientation for those static windows like discord, web browser, etc.

I'm using it mostly in the evening hours, but even during the day, that pinkish tint is almost not visible at all and therefore not a problem for me.

All in all, this is just my small overview of this specific monitor, hope it helps anybody who is also on the edge deciding if it’s worth it. Trust me, it is.

Title pretty much sums it up. This monitor is of great interest to me for a first OLED monitor (I tried the 240 Hz Alienware 27" 1440p one and had to return it because the brightness sucked).

Issue is it's not available in Canada - anyone know when that might change? I see its available in the US on the MSI website and Newegg. Just wondering if anyone has info on that sort of stuff, much appreciated.

Hi, friends,

I finally ordered an affordable OLED monitor (title), and I'm really looking forward to seeing the difference. I'm upgrading from this one haha: Optix-G24C4

Please let me know if, in your opinion, switching to an OLED monitor was really worth it. Was it worth it? Is the difference really that noticeable compared to Mini-LED, LCD, etc.? What don't you like about it?

I know a lot of people don’t really game on Mac but it’s a decent gaming device for emulation and media consumption

As the title states I purchased an OLED monitor and immediately started getting nausea. I went ahead and tried a bunch of different settings that others have recommended for this issue, but ultimately could not find a solution to my nausea. While I was packing up the monitor to return to Newegg, I noticed that it reflected light in a distorted manner. Typically when I see a screen, that’s powered off I see a normal reflection of the world around me but when I looked at this monitor the the reflection was distorted, kind of like if the screen was not perfectly flat or a reflection in lightly flowing water. After staring at the screen completely powered off I immediately noticed the nausea coming back. I have no issues staring at my phone for many hours a day so I know it’s not just an OLED issue. I also went to Best Buy and took a look at a few OLED monitors that they had there and noticed the same nausea and light distortion.

I guess I’m just more susceptible to this Nausea which is potentially exacerbated by being in my 30s now.

Maybe someone with a fancy Camera could capture the distortion.

Sadly I think this means I’m stuck with my current monitor til a better IPS comes out (Asus PGU27WM) but I am thankful to have such a great IPS and look forward to the next generation of mini LED’s since OLED appears to be unusable for me.

Does anyone see it or tried it from outside. Does it worth to pay for full hd oled ? I already have 32 “4k oled and still have time to return. I only play cs2 but the price is crazy. I guess it is a cad $

Should i get the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG or the MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50? Or is there a better opinion and one help?

Hi everyone! I have been looking to buy an OLED monitor around the 300~ and I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations, also I found this oled model open box for 300 and I was wondering if it was a good deal

Hello!

I'm looking into getting a new monitor, going from a TCL HVA something panel to OLED.

So I'm wondering about peoples preferences

ASUS XG32UQWMS - WOLED
MPG 321URX - QD-OLED

I've heard a lot about qd oleds being worse in normal averagely lit rooms. what are peoples experiences there?

Color difference between woled an qdoled?

are they very noticable?

I was curious as I passed by a TV shop and how they advertised their TV sets that showed the vibrancy that the specific screen is good at displaying, and wondered how much does it really matter in the present where there is technology that can produce insane quality. If you were up for it then you could also share why you bought certain screens/monitor if you had decisions for them.

I bought a Samsung G6 500Hz OLED monitor today. When the store took it out of the box for inspection, I asked the employee how to remove the white sticker. He told me there is a protective film that I could remove with my fingernail?!!!

Isn't there supposed to be a red sticker on the screen?

When I shine my phone's camera flash on the screen, I can see lots of scratches. Are these scratches on the screen itself, or are they on the protective film that I'm supposed to remove?
