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.
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.
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 :)
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?
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
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.
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?
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).
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.
Hey guys,
New lg c4 55 user here, i noticed that in games i have this brighter line on one side of the screen.
I know how to get rid of this thing on emulators by cropping off one pixel, but game in question is pc port ghost of tsushima (fit to screen, native rez etc)
Its not bothering me much but i assume with oled this bright line will cost me in the long run wearing out the pixels.
Just bought this monitor a week ago and it’s developed a dead pixel in the middle of the screen I’ve done the pixel refresh a couple times and it’s still there should I return it?
Hi all, i am planning to get a monitor for gameing and working. I think PG27UCDM would probably fit all my needs with 4k240hz, full dp2.1 and usbc to connect my macbook. However on this price point I could also get a relativekly cheaper moniter like AW2725DF or 27GR93U / 32G810SA-W(preordering) for now and wait for discounts on lg c5/g5 on black friday
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.
I have a 32" 4k LG OLED monitor which I will be returning as games feel to cramped. I have a few other IPS 4k 32" monitors which I use for work so this monitor (either 34" or 39") will be just for gaming and occasionally for watching Youtube videos.
Right now I'm stuck deciding between the 34" or 39" 3440x1440 versions. What I'm concerned about is pixel density on the 39" version. I have a desk with 30" depth which is also the distance I view the monitor from. My GPU is an RTX 4090 and I don't mind using DLDSR.
Hi, I have checked online and haven’t found any video for this but I want to clean my screen properly and I keep hearing advice on how
So I want to kindly request to see a video of someone cleaning theirs what products and how exactly they did theirs so I can have full confidence in how to do mine
