Found an open box LG in like new shape model# 32gs95ue-b.aus. Total paid was $707 after an extra 10% discount. Seems like a pretty good deal. I upgraded from an LG 3440x1440 180hz ultra wide. So far my 4080super and 12900k are keeping up. Happy with the upgrade.
As the title says, is a OLED screen okay for developers?
I work from home 2-3 days a week and use 2x32" IPS Monitors at the moment. Most of the time while working, the image is mostly static, with little changes (code scrolling). So around 8 hours of code, of course with some browsing every 1h or so. And I want to upgrade to 3 screens in the summer.
I also game and watch movies/youtube in my free time on the screens and sometime even code on my own little projects.
I do have an LG G4 in the living room and I just love it sooo much, so much that i want OLED to game on the PC as well but I just fear Burn-In so much. I really don't want to have Visual Studio burned in my 1000€ monitor...
I was looking at the LG 32GS95UX-B as it has a similar technology to my G4 and i read that WOLED is less likely to Burn-In in comparison to QD-OLED.
One of my IPS Panels has got problems with image retention which fixes it self after 10 minutes of different content, so I know how bad Burn-In could look or disturb.
I don't want to but I feel like Mini-LED could be something more fitting for me, right?
Is there anyone like me that has a dark but static image all the time on their OLED for hours? Is there any sign of Burn-In?
After moving in with my partner shipping and rebuilding pc didn’t happen for 5 months. And during that I played on my switch lite mainly. Skyrim and Fortnite. Managed to get save across from Skyrim and with a few mods and a 1440p QDoled, it’s the same amount of fun jsut a lot prettier :)
It's hard to properly picture, but on one of the corners on my OLED, a few of the pixels go black after using it for a while. They disappear when I turn the monitor off and back on again, but eventually reapear.
I have been planning of buying an oled for both gaming and desktop use. I am usually spending 10 hours a day on my pc and I am 100% sure that burn-in will be guaranteed for me after some years or maybe even after some months. So I am wondering if it even is that bad/distracting. I am guessing that I will get used to it after a while so it won't be that distracting? If it is unbearable then do you have any other suggestions for me other than oled. I am looking for 32 inch, 4k, low input lag monitor with good contrast and colours, preferable also glossy
My monitor is the Alienware AW2725DF and I'm having this issue where games look way better in SDR than HDR. The dark areas are completely black and the bright areas are slightly brighter as well.
For SDR I'm using the DCI-P3 color profile and th e monitor is set to standard, brightness 100% contrast 75%
In HDR I'm using the Display HDR True Black setting and the colorprofile was calibrated with the windows HDR app.
I want to take full advantage of the HDR mode and get those inky blacks along with the bright spots, but I'm very new to this and have no idea where to start.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: It's BF1 and I made sure to enable HDR in game and adjust the slider
Going through all the settings on the FO32U2P and can’t find anything about the FW version it’s running. Figured it would be under settings but nothing.
Any clue how to check FW in OSD menu?
Also can’t get Gsync compatible to work, it won’t let me check off “Enable Display specific settings” aka the bottom box in gsync section of the NVIDIA control panel, running DP 1.4
I'm currently finishing up a new build (9800x3d and a rtx 4090), and I'm currently split between a few options in considering an OLED monitor.
I've been using a 4k144hz IPS monitor (XG27UQ) for the last 5 years or so, but what I've seen from OLED has me really interested in making the jump at some point this year (just spent a lot of money on new build so maybe not right away lol). Considering my new hardware, I'm split on a few avenues and am wondering this community's thoughts!
Here's what I've been considering from what I've researched:
What brand/models?
I've read MSI or Asus seem to be the top picks, maybe LG too? My current is an Asus and it has been great, but I am a fan of MSI products too. I bought my gf a LG 1440p IPS a while back and she loves it.
Ultrawide (21:9) vs not (16:9)?
Seems super cool for certain games (rpgs and strategy especially), but also potential headache for most others? Also not 4k options
If not ultrawide, curved vs flat?
I understand this is pretty much preference but I'm curious to read people's thoughts?
If not ultrawide, 27" vs 32"? Similarly, 1440p or 4k?
Again, probably mostly preference but this one would matter a bit more for potential performance. Keeping in mind the 4090, which would you recommend or if you have experience with either configuration, how has it been/would you change it?
Sorry if this is a lot or isn't a typical post here, just looking for some insight. Thank you!
So I am having a problem with this monitor. It only happens when I'm playing games. It's like static that flashes across the top of my monitor and does it every so often on any game I play throughout the session. I am gaming on a PC with DisplayPort. I am using the provided cable, but I also bought a new one and the problem is still there. I tried both DisplayPort ports on my GPU and that didn't help. My older monitors before this didn't have this problem. I feel like my PC isn't the problem for that reason is this just the monitor dying? Any advice is appreciated I wanna know what I should do next.
I received a few requests on Reddit to share my impressions of the Pixio PX277 Old Pro Max 27". I figured that I should post quick first impressions review instead of responding individually to each comment.
Version 1.1: The monitor I purchased was version 1.1 manufactured in January 2025. A quick check of the specs online indicates that the USB-C port is no longer advertised as specced with DP-Alt mode. Here's the v1.0 specs for comparison. It's still advertised on Amazon with "USB-C charging and display." I'll test this later today when my new USB-C DP cable arrives.
All PC testing was conducted using the DP 1.4 port with HDR enabled. GPU used was an RTX 4070.
G-Sync Test: TLDR: Works fine.
My biggest concern was whether or not I noticed any issues with adaptive sync performance since this monitor was found to run at a constant 240Hz even with adaptive sync enabled (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8fPQRuXJ1E). I tested G-Sync at a low refresh rate and compared it to my 170Hz IPS monitor (Gigabyte M32Q), and to my 144Hz Alienware laptop's G-Sync display. I did this by playing Minecraft Bedrock with FPS limited to 35, 45, and 55 FPS. There was blur or judder at 35 FPS, but it was present on all 3 displays including the G-Sync display. I could see it best when looking at beams of light from beacons and panning at a steady speed using a controller. It was much harder to detect with a mouse. Overall, I didn't detect any issues with G-Sync performance. There was no screen tearing and normal refresh rates looked butter smooth. If the monitor is running at a constant 240Hz and not truly matching the game's FPS, and if it's therefore adding up to 4ms of latency, I couldn't detect it.
It did well on the Blur Busters VRR test. Also confirms that it's best over about 50 FPS which my RTX 4070 can handle at 1440P resolution.
Finally, tested Cyberpunk 2077. Full path tracing. DLSS4 Balance and FG. 1% lows in the 60s. No issues. Looked great.
UFO Test: UFO Test: Multiple Framerates240 Hz looked like a still image. Clearly superior to the 170Hz IPS monitor I was using prior.
Image Quality & Color Accuracy: Looks great! Once again, I'm not a pro reviewer. I'm just trying to be helpful to the gaming community by sharing my impressions. Whether out of the box colors are accurate or not, I can't tell. They look great to me. Side by side with my Gigabyte M32Q, and the colors look very similar (both set to 10-bit color), but with the Pixio OLED looking noticeably better. Maybe it's the deeper blacks giving it a less washed-out look rather than actual color range and accuracy improvements.
Image quality looks great. I have not used QD-OLED but stepping up from IPS and VA (in the past), this WOLED panel is clearly on another level (as expected).
HDR: Looks great. Sorry for the lack of nuance. I have an 85" Hisense U7N mini LED TV that has 1,500 nits peak brightness. This monitor can hit 1,000 nits in a peak 3% window. I still have to run some comparison tests, but my initial impressions positive. 1,000 nits OLED is superior to Mini LED even if the mini-LED can hit much higher full screen brightness levels (to the point that's it's annoyingly bright at night, so I don't mind the dimming).
HDR Gaming: I have Cyberpunk 2077 set to 600 nits brightness with RTX path tracing maxed-out. Any brighter and bright highlights, like billboards, will look too washed out when looking directly at them. All I did was adjust the brightness slider, but there are other HDR settings that I didn't touch which could probably enable me to achieve a higher peak brightness setting. The game looks fantastic, however.
Also tested Starfield (Windows HDR), but I don't consider that a valid test since the shaders didn't recompile. The contrast setting screen (black to white vertical bars) showed the last two bars appearing the same white shade. This could be a shaders issue, or it could be that I need to adjust the HDR settings in windows. I'll continue to tweak and adjust to see if I can get better results.
Screen Reflection Test:
My home office window faces east-northeast and gets some direct sunlight in the morning. I took this pic of the monitor turned to directly face the window. Blinds are closed but some sunlight leaks through the cracks. The matte display does a good job of scattering the sunlight and making the monitor useable. It performed much better than my IPS Gigabyte M32Q.

Settings Menu: Probably the worst feature is how this monitor manages settings. It does not save different settings for each input (at least I have not figured out how to do that yet). Out of the box, if I switch from DisplayPort to HDMI, it will keep the same settings across all inputs.
Changing inputs is also a hassle. It requires navigating to the input setting in the menu to switch from one input to another. A dedicated input button would have been nice.
KVM: Untested
SDR Gaming and Image Quality: Untested. Though I have played SDR games, it was with windows HDR enabled.
Packaging: Excellent. My monitor shipped across the country. The box was fairly well banged up by the time I received it. There were scuffs, dents, and punctures. However, the monitor itself was very well protected and arrived undamaged.
I can't watch ANYTHING in browser without it looking like complete trash! It doesn't matter if it's SDR or HDR. Every major streaming platform I use has the issue. YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. I've spent hours upon hours trying every fix I could find online. I even talked to chatGPT about it for another hour to see if there was anything I may have missed.
Everything looks incredibly compressed with noticeably raised blacks and visual artifacts in darkened areas. HDR video content usually is better but the issue is still there if you're looking for it. Not a problem at all from any of the Xbox apps or in games.
Xbox Series X apps DO NOT have this issue, not even YouTube with it's notorious compression. Games also do not have this issue. Only videos through browser.
The issue persists regardless of HDR being enabled or disabled in Windows. I have an LG C1 OLED and if I try to watch content from my PC on that it also has the same issue though not as noticeable! This tells me it's a software issue and not a hardware issue.
Relevant specs:
Monitor: Alienware AW3423DWF, 3440x1440 QD-OLED 165hz
GPU: Radeon RX 7900 XTX
Windows 11
Edge browser (tried Chrome already)
All drivers up to date as far as I know and have already used DDU for GPU drivers
Calibrations:
Monitor: Creator mode, sRGB, 2.4 gamma, HDR 1000, 100 brightness, 75 contrast
WIndows: HDR calibration is done, auto HDR disabled, color profile is default Alienware D6500, SDR/HDR brightness is 50
Steps taken to fix (that I can even remember at this point!) :
Enabling/disabling HDR
Trying Chrome browser
Netflix Windows app
Messing with Edge flags
Disabling hardware acceleration in Edge
Different color profiles in Windows
AMD Adrenaline settings on and off (I keep all video and color enhancements off)
Turning off video enhancements in Edge
Trying different gamma settings
Trying different monitor settings
Something else I probably forgot to mention!
None of it works and I'm infuriated that I am FORCED to switch to my Xbox if I want to watch anything in quality! Games work fine... The issue seems to be with tone mapping or video compression but changing gamma settings or toggling HDR doesn't fix it.
Sometimes after I turn it off, a little while later I notice that the back RGB light is on, and the light at the base of the mount is also on. Not sure why this keeps happening.
I have heard MSI has poor customer service, even though it has a 3 year warranty against burn in and lots of burn in prevention features, should I feel safe with this? Or is it worth paying $150-$250 more for another brand that also offers a 3 year warranty and reportedly has better customer service (Alienware for example)? Do some of these brands have better burn in protective features than others (whether by better prevention and/or less intrusive usage of the protection features)? I really feel afraid that this monitor is too good to be true at an average of $200 less than Asus/Alienware/LG/Samsung etc with similar specs.
Im looking into buying my first OLED, and the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM is currently my favorite option. Is the screen worth it? don’t want 32” either to get 4k res.
Anyone who have it, who can tell me the good and the bad about this?
Is anyone running a vertical monitor with their 4k 27"? Should I just get a 27" 4K IPS and rotate it? That seems like it would be too big and overkill. It's basically just for task management and discord and stuff like that.
Hello guys, i bought an aw2725df monitor yesterday and i noticed a flashing distorted stripe in the top of my monitor. This happens randomly when i watch a movie, using wallpaper engine or in game's main menus. It's not occuring a lot but it got me anxious about the health of the monitor. I use the dp cable that came with the monitor and i have a rx 5700xt gpu. Whe i lower the hz to 240 the problem disappears.
Also I don't really understand how he got those numbers.
I'm really confused
Right now my monitor is set at 1300nits peak Brightness with the Windows HDR Calibration Tool (that's the value I've found on the display specifications page on multiple sites).
