I'm about to buy this monitor, because after 10 years, my monitor has broken down.
>OLED
>1440p
>360 Hz
>900 bucks
Should I do it? The alternative is the MSI MPG 271QRX.

I have the AW3423DW and I'm very satisfied. I don't think there are really any "bad" QD-OLED monitors on the market, it just a matter as to whether any given one fits your particular needs well. Just make sure it's G-Sync Ultimate or FreeSync Premium certified according to your GPU so you can enjoy HDR and VRR simultaneously.
Yes, both the AW and the MSI monitors I mentioned have that FreeSync Premium feature.
I don't know much about HDR, but do you need to manually activate it using the windows key alt b shortcut or does it automatically turn on when you boot up a game?
Also, what about the pixel refresh? How often does it occur and how long does it take? It would suck to be in the middle of a game and your monitor is just unusable for like 5-10 minutes
I take it you have an AMD GPU then.
I'm on Windows 10, so I can only toggle HDR from the display settings panel. I don't know exactly how it works on 11, but my understanding is that there's that keyboard shortcut and some sort of auto HDR setting that can be flaky.
The pixel refresh interval is about 4 hours and the refresh period is about 5 minutes. You can delay the refresh if you want to finish a match or get to a good spot to pause. There's also a longer pixel refresh that lasts maybe 15 minutes or so that I've only seen a couple of times in the year and a half or so that I've had it and only trigger when turning the monitor on. The monitor I have also usually wants to go through it's pixel refresh when turned on for the first time in a few hours, so I've gotten in the habit of preparing my drink and snack and taking my dog out while my monitor "warms up". I don't know if this is common to other QD-OLEDs and/or conventional OLEDs or is just a quirk of this model.
what the frick is this shit, man? how is this the best monitor technology around?
The "warm up" period is a little annoying, but I don't mind the monitor prompting for a refresh after four hours because it forces me to get up and do something else for a while.
i had that and it burned in pretty seriously in under a year
replying to shill thread btw
if you're a gay that only buys things once a decade buy an ultrasharp.
I never saw a reason to upgrade my monitor, but I want to go all out now. I realize I've been using shit for far too long
What's an ultrasharp
360hz is not reasonable to pursue and i say that as someone who has used 144gz and 240hz. you're not going to notice a difference going from 240hz to 360. even 144-240hz can be very difficult to ascertain in many cases, and that's assuming you can get >240 fps
These new QD OLED panels only have 360 Hz.
alright. guess it doesn't matter as long as you aren't paying more for it and you're going to get one that just coincidentally has 360 anyway
do you even have a gpu that can rub 360hz
you don't NEED more than 60hz THO
people who are playing old fps can get 800fps+. but even if i had 800fps in ql i would not pay twice as much to get a 360hz monitor over a 240
120hz is the BARE MINIMUM in 2024
fricking stinkpad poorgay
Yeah, I wouldn't get more than 240 Hz unless it doesn't cost anything.
I don't care so much for text clarity as I only really game on my PC. I don't work on it whatsoever. Just game and watch YouTube videos and movies. I've also read some reviews about these QD OLED panels having acceptable text clarity compared to those OLEDs that came out a year ago.
The monitor that I have that broke down was 60 Hz. I played a game for like 3 hours at a friend's house who has a 180 Hz monitor and the difference was fricking dramatic. I went back to my 2nd monitor (60 Hz) and it just looked choppy as frick
Very problematic resolution, because you cannot just 2x integer scale 1080p content.
>>OLED
QD with weird subpixel layout? Bad text clarity, especially at this meme resolution.
if you want one to last another 10 years don't get a fricking OLED, check into MiniLED. There's some pretty good options already and even better one coming soon.
>MiniLED
Any specific recommendations? Do you know what the best MiniLED is? I have a 1000 dollar budget.
INNOCN 27M2V
Chink brand but great reviews and a great score from rtings. Very satisfied with mine.
Alienware monitors are unironically pretty good. Mine (AW3821dw) has been flawless for about 1.5 years now. It had a stuck pixel a few months ago but that disappeared on its own.
Checked. Their all in 1 PCs are horrendous and overpriced, but then again, you shouldn't ever buy prebuilds to begin with. Their monitors are some of the best yes and reasonably well priced
it sounds like a good monitor, youd be happy if you got it. oleds great the first time you see it
Buy a SAMSUNG 49” Odyssey G9

Nah, way too wide and probably has shit support in most games. Having to look for fixes is a nightmare and implementing them, even if it's not that hard is a headache
>Only drawback seems to be that since it is only HDMI 2.0, it doesn't support 4k 120hz mode on a PS5
I don't have any console and I never plan on getting one, so I don't really care. The alternative that I mentioned is MSI MPG 271QRX does have proper HDMI 2.1 if I understand correctly.
That monitor is as good as it gets for OLEDs so far, enjoy
Only drawback seems to be that since it is only HDMI 2.0, it doesn't support 4k 120hz mode on a PS5
I have the LG 45GR95QE-B, OLED is very good, make sure that:
>you don't get a ultra wide
>you have a second monitor
>you have the correct desk and a monitor arm
My monitor has been on for 2700h with no burn in yet. If you can, go with 4K and make sure the brightness is good enough, in some game I need to push it to 100% or it just look bad. But once you try oled you will not be able to go back.
>>you don't get a ultra wide
You have an ultrawide and from your experience, I should avoid it?
>If you can, go with 4K
Not worth it for me, because I do not possess the hardware, nor do I think there is any hardware out there, that can fully take advantage of 4K & 240hz, which is what a lot of 4K OLED monitors are nowadays. High framerate is crucial for me, and because of that I will take 1440p over 4K any day.
>You have an ultrawide and from your experience, I should avoid it?
yes, in truth it really depend on you use cases but so many games and medias are not compatible and having two massive black bars will create uneven wear. watch : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa7V_OOu6B8
Enjoy your burn in.
Do it.
Without reading a single other comment in the thread, I will now accurately predict what they are:
>gayming monitor
>nooooooooooo buy this minimalist piece of shit from 15 years ago instead
>>not using a crt [image of a still frame from some 80s anime OVA]
>noooo you don't NEED anything more than 1080p60
>muh integer scaling (does not matter)
>c-c-c-c-CONSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMER
what about the posts which point out how quickly they burn in and limited RMA policy where they send you used monitors as replacements?
