What do you look for in monitors? What is your ABSOLUTE most important feature besides price? With that said, what is the most you are willing to pay for a monitor? Also, thank you for the call out on my inaccurate claim that 1440p OLEDs are new, that's an important piece of information that I got wrong as I have only been keeping tabs on 4K panels, with that said, I'll have to start paying better attention!

The Alienware 27 inch blows this thing out of the water for the same price, it's also doing 360hz.

This panel tech is a year old at this point there are 360hz oleds out now for a lower price than this. This product seems to have missed the mark massively and it's disappointing that you are promoting it instead of pointing out how bad of a value it is, I was kind of expecting this to be a cheaper option based on your initial enthusiasm but it's actually just a terrible product all around, if it was $400-500 then it would be worth talking about but it's $900 and MSI has a 360hz for $750 msrp, and the LG version of this with the same panel is going for $730.

What do you mean one of the earliest 1440p 240hz oled panels on the market? Corsair, Asus and MSI have theirs on the market for almost a full year now and they are very good.

1440p 360hz OLEDs from Alienware, ASUS, MSI, and Gigabyte have been out for months at this point

Had to double take thinking g I clicked an old video. As other have mentioned, there have been multiple 27” 2K Oled monitors over the last year or so.

is this video filmed in 2022?

Keep it up Jay, I’ve learned so much from you that I began building my first ever pc with a budget of 4k and was very impressed on results, I hope others take advice from you as much as I did! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I've fallen out of PC Building after 10 years. The past 4 years have just been disappointing pricing for products with disappinting products and I don't see that stopping anytime soon. I've gotten bored and fed up with this entire industry. I love the content though and will always continue to watch and support you.

Jay a lot of your opening talking points and your read on OLED monitor technology is about a year behind. I had to double check if this was an older video or not. 1440p/240hz OLED at 27" was a huge release in 2023 with both WOLED and QD-OLED variants from more than just Corsair and LG. Looking forward for the rest of 2024 and early 2025, 2023's 1440p/240hz OLED spec got a price drop and we're seeing more 360hz/4k options moving forward, along with newer QDOLED/WOLED panels.

The Alienware DWF is Oled and 1440, VESA mount, 34". You forget Alienware exists Jay?

I reviewed the AOC AG276QZD in December, which is a 27" 240 Hz 1440p OLED, and it's just £849 which is highly competitive.

You should do a full desktop setup makeover whether it’s for yourself or someone else, I enjoy those types of videos and would like to see your version.

I with you Jay, I have two 42" LG monitors that I purchased early days of Covid and they are awesome.

Holy smokes jay is getting big!

at this point jay is more of a mascot than a reviewer earliest oled monitor is this video taken last year

I am using 2 24" panels, but also have used 2 27" at the office. The 2 27" setup was ideal for work where I had to rely upon high definition of multiple data sources, and plenty of copying and transfer done manually. I believe this set up would also be great for coding where one monitor is mainly the dev side monitor and the other is testing the app, and maintaining your Git repository

I personally own 2 Viewsonic Elite monitors. I've had them for a little over 2 years and my experience with them has made me never want to buy another Viewsonic product ever again. I had to RMA them at least 6 times, maybe more, and the issues were never resolved.

I've been using the Samsung G8 34" ultrawide curved OLED and absolutely love it...upgraded from the Odyssey G27 Curved.....can't wait until someone finally does a 34" 4K 240hz ultrawide curved monitor..then it will be perfect!

I have an LG: 27GR95QE. It's crazy how good value some of these new panels are. Love the addition of USB C type connectors.

Viewsonic in the 90s was reaaaally good at monitors

Umm. This 27" 1440p 240Hz W-OLED panel has been out in multiple OLED monitors for well over a year now (LG, ASUS, Corsair, Acer, AOC, KTC, Cooler Master...). Funny how you present it like it's something new or not so widely available. LG has actually released an even newer refresh of it already and has a 480Hz model on the way. Also, 360Hz QD-OLEDs are out.

Nice box looks like They got it at Walgreens.

I'm excited about this product, not because it looks good, because I definitely think it can be done better, but because I've wanted this for a long time as a 1440p enjoyer, and this gives me hope that a good one will come out.

The panel is not edge to edge due to pixel shifting so if there is burn in ever happening, it will smooth the burn over an area rather than a static pixel row

You should do a video showcasing your favorite chassis/cases, you know the ones that just stand out for the little quality of life perks and unique features.

I actually got that Corsair 45" after watching your review video, going on 5 months of ownership and it's been absolutely amazing. Glad to see other manufacturers are starting to get into the OLED game. I know burn in is a concern but if other manufactures pick up Corsair and LG's retention systems, I think we'll start seeing a boom of these.

I Always hide the task bar... it's so much better. Thanks man

I have the alienware dwf and love its size and performance. Gen 2 oled looks good but I don't think it justifies upgrading what I currently have

Excellent Video Jay - I have an HP Omen Transcend 2024 and it has a 1440p OLED 2880x1800 Total game changer!

27" monitor is the perfect average size. Its the medium most of us love. Especially up close to your face.

Nice monitor!

Jokes about plaid are simply not okay. Far too many lines get crossed.

is that base stable enough? just saying person might bump into the table / desk or what you have it on. feet on it look small

Vertical positioning is also good for working with documents, and it's a good place to keep your terminal open.

I have a 1440p LG 32" IPS 165HZ i paid 525 (cad) for it when it was on sale. IMO in my current set up 32" is perfection. The way i have my windows setup it adds "productivity". I can't complain, I love it and in about ten years time i'll finally make the jump to 4K

Does Jay really not follow monitors? This is no were near the first 2k oled monitor to come out. There has been a new model coming out from some company since at least January. /Facepalm.

@jayztwocents could you give me your opinion on the MSI G274QPX? It was my first 2k monitor, and I got it for less than $300. I want to upgrade to 4k once I go from 3060ti to a 40 series card. Any recommendations on a 4k monitor are greatly appreciated. Thanks for the awesome videos!

I was excited at this at the beginning. But then definitely mid by midpoint.

You know that new Cougar case you just reviewed?! This would look AWESOME with a build in it along with a white keyboard and mouse!!!

I got ViewSonic 32" 120 hertz 1440 monitor, which was not curved to begin with. I left it near the window which is a sun spot and it is now curved outwards. Picture is brilliant. I have two iiyama monitors which I am currently using, which tilt and turn round vertically. Though don't see the need for that. I think ViewSonic should try to up the size of this monitor to at least 32", as it may lesson the bezel.

I was really excited at the beginning of the video thinking this would be my plunge to oled, but I was expecting it to be a little cheaper. And if I'm spending that much on a monitor, it better be basically flawless.

The "little dimples" in the screen may be infrared detectors for the wireless remote. Mayhaps

I'm definitely in the market for a 1440p OLED monitor. Thank you for doing this review. I will keep waiting and watching for other panels to see what peaks my interest enough for me to buy. I just don't have a need for 4K when I'm sitting this close to the screen. And I'd rather up the quality then sacrifice it for 4K.

Hey Jay! I just got the Odyssey G7 neo 43 inch TV/monitor. I got it for $600 on sale and I was wondering if you would consider this a good monitor for gaming. I have bad eyesight so having a large screen is important to me, but I’ve been reading a lot of bad reviews about this monitor. Maybe you could do a video on it? Or even your input through reply would be much appreciated! Keep up the good work on the channel!

For 1440p, 27" feels like just the right size. 32" is a little large. 32" is the smallest I think 4K screens should come in. $800 is entirely too much money for a monitor.

If they make a 32 inch panel I would consider buying one.

I found when using a tv as a monitor to get the best response you need to turn off all the "TV" features, anything that uses the TVs onboard processing power will increase lag, things like white balance and hue even make a difference imo...

When you're windows is in darkmode also the taskbar is there less a problem with burnin or does the brightness dosen't matter?

I remember my first 17” monitor. Of course it was a CRT so it was huge!

Cool to see more OLEDs, even faster ones. I wonder about BFI many lack that. Though I'm waiting to see that 4K DFR Asus one.

This monitor is ACTUALLY only 190 nits typical brightness (Max 100% windows size brightness)...and PEAK 450 nits (for a very small window size box for the 450 nit peak brightness)....just to ensure that info gets out there. Also, it does have only 1 OLED care feature that is not listed in any documentation...and only confirmed by Viewsonic itself via email ... it is: "As far as OLED saving features, the XG272-2K-OLED does have a pixel maintenance function that activates when the monitor is powered down that runs for 10 minutes, after which it will shut off completely." Viewsonic also confirmed that it also has the following: "The monitor will also have an auto dimming function that activates after detecting a set period of inactivity (5-10 minutes) to preserve the panel. Once activity is detected, the monitor will resume at full brightness. " Hope this helps!

Doing dual 48in LG C1 with a 32in MSI 321URX. Even the 32 seemed tiny when I first setup.

Hide the taskbar when not being used 😊

I like that 1440p OLED is now a thing for gaming monitors I just hope more brands get on board so we get a good range of choice as I feel this will be where I go for my next monitor but personally I would want 32 inches

I went with the Alienware AW2725DF QD-OLED 1440p 360hz. This thing is just gorgeous and not like some other manufacturers, it’s able to update its firmware lol. It also comes calibrated out of the box with a calibration report.

I am sure (I have not looked), but I would bet a lot of people must have mentioned the KTC 27 Inch OLED Gaming Monitor, QHD 2560 x 1440, 240Hz, 0.03ms, Type-C 65W, KVM, Built-in Speakers, G-SYNC & FreeSync, HDMI2.0, DisplayPort1.4, USB-C 3.0, G27P6. I purchased this monitor in Nov 20, 2023 for exactly $599.99. It is also a great monitor (though there is a bit newer version). While I know you are showing a different version (and I guess they are all different), it is good to see there may be lower price models for those of us that are retired but still love to game. Thanks so much for you shows!!!!!

7:06 That little cup looks like it could store the remote.

I love OLED for gaming. Though I opted for the G9 OLED for that extra immersion. But once you calibrate the OLED for HDR, it's a game changer. Makes a huge difference (as long as the game's implementation of HDR is good).

My 42 inch LG C2 Oled 4k TV I meaured 2.5 ms input lag with a time sleuth lag measure device. That is basically zero. About 1/7 of 1 frame at 120 hz

Seeing how sharp the UFO image is at 240Hz, I instantly went "I want this!" That's the sharpest moving image I've ever seen on any screen, it's insane. I also like the white casing, and no "red because gamer" bullshit. The bezel is kinda annoying tho, but I imagine you'll get used to it pretty quickly and won't ever notice it again

Edit> Just found out that Blur Busters have actually verified this monitor, it may actually be the first OLED monitor to get that Blur Busters badge (a massive deal and if they have verified it, that means it's good), interesting, it's such a shame then that it uses ABL and is matted, otherwise this may have been the best OLED gaming monitor releases so far, what a shame. Viewsonic could have stood out from the crowd with their OLED gaming monitor and shipped it with their amazing PureXP strobing tech, which is one of the few Blur Busters approved motion clarity methods so far, BFI is great though, but not on par with PureXP, such a missed op as PureXP is what makes Viewsonic displays special, this is just a very sub-par PPI OLED display with software driven BFI (so not even hardware accelerated BFI).

Has all the specs i would love, minus one. The price. I am happy to see its on its way though. I very much cheaped out on a monitor when building my computer. Lots of ghosting haha.

4K 32" OLED is my next monitor. Currently have a 2K 27" LCD 144hz

Has Jay travelled back in time? There are a number of 240hz WOLEDs now...

I'm running two 27" screens. The big debate I'm having in our house is what the next monitors will be. 32"? 4K? OLED? Ultrawide? Those big boy 40" TVs as a monitor? Or just push on with these?

Or vertical for coding love that setup. I want to go back to at least one 24" monitor.

Very similiar to the OMEN 34c. Nice.

I still use my Viewsonic VG2021m monitor from 2006.

Looks cool, but I am so used to my 34" Ultrawide I could never go smaller!

Ktc has one as well not a famously known brand but from my use case good quality I have a 1440 mini led monitor from them and it's really good

Yeah, like samsung and LG main OLED monitors have been 2k for the past 2 years. Contrary, it has been really hard to get 4K, at least in 32" or smaller format.

I have a TV now that is 4K 10bit 144Hz over HDMI and it works completely fine. It makes a great monitor.

I have been looking at OLED monitors for the past week. Weighing the pros and cons to decide whether I really NEED one or not. I play a lot of space based and exploration based games. So, the black levels really do it for me, but I am still undecided.

Got the LG27GS95 oled coming from Best Buy open box excellent for about $600 after cash back reward. Can't go wrong with that. 3rd gen w-oled 1440p 240hx hdr400 black whatever that means

Is better then the LG for 700 or the g9 oled or the 4K ones which aren’t that more expansive ?

I liike the design and the color. white monitor is going to be my next monitor 😀

I'm using 3x 25" IPS at 60Hz and its perfectly fine imo.

This is almost perfect for what I'm looking to pick up this year. I want speakers built in for when I'm casually youtubing, as a comfort thing, so that's the main potential downside to me (there's not a lot of nice looking panels, with decent speakers, and high refresh rates).

Specs seems good. Function seems good. Looks for the sides? Okay. But so 900$ I’d be looking for something around that strength but something I like to look at.

Here in Brazil we have a 1440p OLED from Dell under Alienware brand, but its a curved ultra wide.

Haven’t seen a full G-sync OLED panel yet. I’m assuming that OLED can’t get the picture quality standards good enough to be certified?

I wonder if jay will get an LDAT(that nvida tool linus used to test monitor latency a while back)

It may not be this exact panel but now i know i want a 1440p OLED

What are your thoughts on the Sceptre Curved 24.5-inch Gaming Monitor 240hz for $140 on Amazon vs the viewsonic?

I'll keep my 42in 120hz LG C3 Oled TV. Cost the same, and it's 4k. Very happy with my purchase.

Do u think overclocking monitors is safe?

I have an MSI monitor and I have the same issue with the bezel, the bottom is fine but there is about a 1cm border around the sides and top. Even after having it for about 2 and a half years it still catches my eye every now and again and it still pisses me off. I would have rather they had just made the plastic frame cover the part of the screen that doesn't get used.

Seems like Frodo its gonna have a new top one monitor for games now.

Stuck with huge price. Indeed and that's both to procure the screen, and then run it too Im on 1440p with my 7800XT so i am listening even if not replacing fairly new screen.

7:40 - Oled sheets in factory are designed to be cut at larger sizes for big TVs and have minimum waste , if the factory desire to cut small screen size ( rare case because small oleds are not mainstream atm so they dont produce sheets exclusive for small screens) they waste to much material so smaller sizes oled panels are cost more compare to bigger ones ( inch to cost ratio)

27" 1440p is the sweet spot. Waiting for lower prices and one of this will be mine

If it has a 0.02 response time, is Vsync still relevant?

Agree completely, 27" is a little on the small side, would prefer a 32" 1440p myself. Haven't owned a Viewsonic since my 19" monitors.

To clarify something: Input lag or latency on a TV is not good unless using certain modes or settings including auto low latency modes. This is not related to pixel response time. Every OLED has a sub 1ms response time which is what is being advertised as a 0.2ms response time while some companies market nanosecond response times for OLEDs. This is not latency. There will still be processing resulting in probably around 8-16 ms click to photon latency. This is the same for all digital displays, while a very low pixel response timer reduces motion blur and improves motion clarity.

I remember when I was a teenager and a monitor bigger than 20" was huge.

I have had a 1440p 360hz oled gaming monitor for about 9 months now

@7:15 Nice ring. Meteorite with gold inner sleeve?

I edit video on a 32 inch 1440p monitor and at just over arms length I don't see any lines or individual pixels. Since they are gonna read the comments, I only paid $135 for my LG monitor and it has 165hz refresh and is much better edged to edge and no big bar at the bottom, other than than the same size plastic they have on that one. It has and LED ring on the back just like that one. I have had this monitor for 2 years now, and yes it has HDR, but I think with it on it's to bright.

What are the USB ports used for?
