It's crazy that we are ACTUALLY seeing year to year advancements in monitor tech. FINALLY we are observing progress again. Last 5 - 8 years it was really cumbersome and slow. All very incremental improvements. 75-100-120-144-165-180-200-240... And they all had huge issues with artefacting/overshooting/incredibly slow pixel response. But finally we are observing some insane advancements. Insane motion clarity, pixel response (literally no overshoot/artefact). Year to year advancement in refresh rate (240/360/480...). Also HUUUGE range of display variants. 27-32-34... ultra wides/ super ultra wides... And we have 2 competing OLED technologies... WRGB and QD-OLED and both kick ass. AND THEY'RE NOT OVERLY EXPENSIVE! Man i'm finally getting excited over monitor techs.

I read a while back, that if you deactivate windows clear type it becomes much better. Clear type optimizes for a specific pixel layout which results in worse than standard text with OLED

I think it is also on mac.. 1440p on Mac doesnt look super sharp to begin with. But let me know if you have any sources that state the contrary.

@@tr4nnel752 Completely incorrect. Not an issue on Mac.

@@Techfanatic73 That is just bs. Mac has the same issues with text clarity on 1440p. If you have a 4k oled panel, the issue isn't as noticable, both on Mac and Windows.

The problem on windows is that individual applications are able to do their own layout engine (idk what the name is), so even if Microsoft were to make windows better at handling non-standard pixel layouts, you can still run into issues with programs like chrome, photoshop etc. It would be a step in the right direction though.

Link?

@@Mechanomaly-NB It's the one about the oled black depth.

so msi is bad?

@@kakashi99908Not at all what the comment suggested. Any qd-oled gets considerably raised blacks when in a bright environment, but besides I don't think oleds are well-suited for a bright setup anyway.

@@kakashi99908 all qd-oled are bad for gaming unless you can spare cash, they get burned in faster and the black isn't that dark, so get the woled if you are short in cash.

Yeah it’s about damn time. Jesus Chris

it’s also gonna be year of optimum 😎

it really is!!!

The year of OLED Now all we need is a 24 inch 1080p OLEDs for the masses and LCDs will be officially dead

Well it stagnated so badly for years now... Bout time finally

if there is light shining on the monitor, yes, otherwise it is black. Source: I own aw3423dw

im with @@userblame632 i own the g8 oled and have perfect inky blacks

It's not the polarizer, the quantum dot layer it's on top and they absorb light and shine, a little like those construction vests.

Be ready for it to burn in just a few days after warranty is overdue

​@@SG-tx1fzburn in schmurn in, OLED is established tech at this point, not something you need to worry about

Mine too, if warranty checks out because ultimately it's still OLED and if you intend to realistically use the 360hz most of the time, it means you are playing multiplayer FPS games with HUD (CS2/Valorant/OW2 etc.) for multiple hours a day, and HUD is very likely to cause a burn-in. He mentions how he played Overwatch for 600 hours and no burn-in so far, but if you want to play, let's say, 4 hours a day, 600 hours is not even half a year, it's kind of meaningless. With Alienware's 3-year warranty it's decent, but it's still quite expensive compared to LCDs as most people wouldn't want to replace their ~$1000 product within 3 years. It's a sick product, but it's still quite premium. But if you have money and aren't bothered with replacements via warranty it's godlike for sure.

@@TheCabIe I have just bought this screen due to the reviews. The burn-in issue today is not a worry. I have had three OLED TVs since the 4K tech has been around. My LG B7 was stunning. But suffered from really bad burn-in. The Panasonic HZ1000 had no problems at all. I have that TV running still. With family on you tube and icons on TV channels, its 5 years old now and no burn-in to be seen. I then bought and still have an LG G2 WOLED. Two years old now, and no issues. Xbox SX and PS5 have not harmed this screen. It's due to the extra pixel they have added. There were 3 colours but now there is 4. Plus, an heatsink on the panel. Burn-in on OLED TV's is not like on and old CRT. It just a pixel being driven harder than the others. Red and yellow OLED colour was a massive problem. The colour is harder to drive. But with the extra white pixel, the problem is now mute. LG give a 5-year warranty on its TV panels. Don't worry about burn-in. Watch HDTV Test. Vincent put a 50% white square in HDR and leaves it for 4 hours. It marks the screen with image retention, but he runs the pixel cleaner, and it goes. Enjoy your OLED screens. BTW on my G2 TV I also have logo dimming turned off. No problems after nearly two years.

And now you can never downgrade from 240hz or oled! xd

@@keppycs lol

​@@keppycsNo need to. In 5 years we have newer OLED tech and all gaming monitors will be 240hz+

I went from a 175hz OLED that I was using for over a year to a 240hz OLED and I can't feel a difference at all, literally zero difference. Kinda disappointed to be honest. I'm doing everything I can to convince myself I feel it, but I just don't.

@@ronniekregar3482 In game, lock your eyes on any object (I prefer looking at a corner of a wall), move your mouse left and right at various speeds, so that the object moves back and forth on screen. Now toggle on and off an fps limit. For me, this test made the difference easily distinguishable.

Im going for that dual mode 4k 240hz/1080p 480hz oled.

@@RealLordShaxx I hope there'll be a 1440p 360hz mode as well, making it triple mode. Should be possible through a firmware update, as the panel's tech is there.

that just isnt how pixel scaling works. it's 4k/1080p because they're both 2k resolutions, 1920x1080 is a perfect multiple of 3840x2160 2560x1440 is a 2.5k resolution yes it's possible, but it certainly wouldn't look good@@filip9587

​@@filip9587Yes and no. A 1440p mode would effectively be quite a bit worse image quality wise because you can't integer scale the image anymore (1080p->4K is 2x on each axis).

@@trixniisama Thanks for the clarification. I suppose it's not a technology problem, but more of a physical maths problem.

theres no oversaturation. theres just the outdated extremely limited CRT colorspace "sRGB" holding everyone back.

Unless you have both side by side, I’d say both are good

and it is easier to double the resolution than double the fps. and scaling down resolution work much batter than lowering fps. so we really need 4k 480hz soon, frame gen starts at 200fps i would say, so you need 400hz display to get those extra frames.

There are no reasonably sized (non-productivity) 4k oled monitors currently available. He'll review the upcoming 32" 4K oled monitors closer to launch.

I'm hoping the same too, I had a quick look at the market and there's almost nothing in the 32-34" space, it's all 40+ inches. 4K at 32-34" size would be nice but I'd be happy enough with my current 1440p. There's a Philips and Samsung model, and an upcoming MSI, but they're all 3440x1440 ultrawides for some reason

4K at 27 inch is useless

@@fu928 maybe for you. I have 4K screens of various sizes, including 27”, and they are very useful.

People usually replace monitors in 3-4 years and using it daily for 4-5 hours will get burn in after 3-4 years with these current oled technologies.

You’ll be waiting YEARS for OLED monitors to reach “budget” pricing.

@@sermerlin1 No they don't. Lol. Gamers maybe. Most people don't even replace their computer every 3-4 years. Especially if it's a desktop thats powerful.

More like 8 or more years to replace a working monitor

3-4 years is crazy… But I’ve stopped doubting people lol

Oh it will be. The factory calibration on the AW2725DF is insane! That’s the main advantage over the MSI but the passive cooling solution is MSI’s advantage.

@@andrewmorris3479Oh crud, does the Alienware not have passive cooling? I'm not a fan of fans!

It has active cooling based on the onscreen menu, you can test it. I can't hear it though so all good.

do you like it

@@kanontf2 Best monitor that I ever owned. I did return it after 3 weeks though. When I would play Warzone in HDR I would suffer from what felt like car sickness. I would just start feeling dizzy. I tried sync / no sync, loweing the Hz doqn etc.. but I just kept feeling sick. I switched back to my 170hz IPS and I stopped feeling sick . Maybe OLED wasn't for me. IPS looks like crap after using OLED though... But I like not feeling sick more.

Yeah exactly. An endgame monitor like that you'd ideally want 5 years with, minimum. Minimum. And the warranties covering 2 years is a bit concerning because that means they know failures jump up after that time frame for the average user

@@richardcheese9152 This is exactly why I'm so conflicted. OLED TVs have been around for a while now, but the Windows interface always displays. Also, there are far less 1440p 240hz IPS options which pushes you towards OLED.

@@richardcheese9152Alienware offers 3 years if that's any consolation.

Need to disable static taskbar and enable a short sleep setting. Not sure if pixel orbit is still a thing but could do that too. And make a habit of closing blinds and turning down the brightness. Should be okay if u do those things

@@fercon9892 It just doesn’t fill me with confidence that I even have to take these measures (even though I know it’s things I should also probably do with my IPS monitor)

What you want to look for there is subpixel layout, I believe monitors in Q2 and beyond will fix this by shuffling subpixels around e.g. RWGB (or something or other) to RGBW or whatever. Point is they address this later on in the year As for your second point, DP is still sufficient depending on your use case (console gamer?) and an argument about throughput is made e.g. 2.0 is perfectly sufficient, forget the exact details

dp 1.4 + dsc is perfectly capable of doing 480hz 1440p 10bit color without any perceptible difference... also... the latest 4090 does NOT have DP 2.1... so it would be useless anyways! the color fringing I agree tho... Also... the BIGGEST concern with Oleds is their real desktop usage brightness... which has been lacking.

There will be a gigabyte 240hz 4k oled and probably 360hz 1440p variant with dp2.1 if you really need it. Though it's not needed as dsc works fine

Aorus new OLEDs will have dp 2.1, not sure when they release tho

​@redacted1776 i heard only the 4k one has dp2.1

That’s why u should NEVER buy ANY product based on a KZfaq channel’s recommendation. These guys get sent free stuff and get paid 5, sometimes 6 figure checks to shill products on their channel. Even when you think they’re being “transparent”, they’ll never rate any product in a negative light if they’re getting paid for it. It’s better to wait for the product to release and get real-world opinions from actual users and not just people on KZfaq.

@@AlmightyEye You’re not wrong. I at least thought Optimum was one of the better tech reviewers

This is one of the main reasons, I will never buy an OLED monitor. I don’t want to pay a premium price and then having to worry about it when using it like a normal PC monitor. For example, many people use their PC for desktop usage or leave their PC on for many hours and that’s gonna be a problem with OLED. to me, it’s like having a sports car but you gotta be wary of not revving up otherwise it might break I hope you will get that burn in sorted soon man!

@@andrewgreen8383LG 27” OLED? Guess I don’t have any burn in or such, but did you get it from BestBuy with a 4 year Geek Squad plan?

I have had the same monitor but only for about a month so this is quite worrying to hear. The other thing that bothers me in this video is that he says there's virtually no difference between the matte and glossy coating when in reality the matte coating has quite a horrible grainy look on white or near white images that I'm sure moving to glossy would solve. Bit of a hit to his recommendations for me unfortunately. Also, no reviewers seem to say/care much about just how bad the dirty screen effect is on darker grey images. I had to return my first one because it was disgusting. Even my second monitor was only acceptable after running a compensation cycle.

I thought I wasn't able to use a 27 inch OLED but when I got it I adjusted to it it's alot easier on the eyes than my various 24 inch LCD panels I owned.

@@manicniceguy2341 I'd love to get 27", but the issue for me is desk space, I run triple monitors, and with speakers on the desk too I doubt I'd be able to fit 3 27" monitors comfortably. With 3 24" my speakers are slightly hanging off the desk.

Let 24" die. It's the new 17".

Oled burn in barely happens… use the built in care features and it’s fine! I’ve had my oled tv for years with daily use. Zero burn in.. clueless people

@@Tricendo "? Lame excuse for not being able to afford one lol" They're not expensive, and how stupid some of you look trying to make this about money.

@Hirnlego999 sony panels has always been dogshit samsung and lg has always pushed the boundaries and been innovative for the past 2 decades.
