    Upgrade to oled?

    I think you need to be really careful when considering OLED. Many people are comparing regular old backlit LCDs when coming from LCD to OLED. Sure, compared with these there is a significant increase in contrast; however, c/w mini-LED the difference is negligible and, in many cases, mini-LED...

    PG32UQX - Worth it in 2025?

    Opposite for me. I’ve had XG321UG for years and 32UPX since release- the QD-OLED has about a 10% usage of time. The ACR of the MSI is lower as are all OLEDs compared with mini-LED. I also find the OLED to be over saturated in red/orange, like skin color looks off in HDR like everyone is...

    PG32UQX - Worth it in 2025?

    I'm hoping they will trickle down this ProArt monitor announced at CES 2025 to a gaming format, as the PG32UQX was trickled down from a ProArt monitor before. It would be an absolute beast. Unfortunately it is not for sale yet AFAIK. It is also $8000! ...

    New monitor and monitor arm question

    I recommend getting an Ergotron. They are considered the best by far and though a little more expensive you will not be disappointed. I have the LX arm and can vouch for its quality. They have a handy arm finder search tool on their website: https://www.ergotron.com/en-us/

    Rant: switched back to IPS after being on OLED for a year

    Actually the PG32UQX is superior to almost all the OLEDs in color. Since it is IPS and not a VA panel, which has been seen in recent televisions such as the Bravia 9, color is one of its advantages. It has a MUCH wider color gamut than than the WOLED variants and even higher than the QD-OLED...

    4K 27" Mini-LED with good local dimming and 144+ Hz refresh rate?

    Honestly if what you say is true that is a pretty glowing review as mini-LEDs main downfall is blooming and motion clarity. The color issues can probably easily be sorted out with a calibration, if they are not already accurate as you say you are going by personal preferences. And the fact that...

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    I don’t know if this is common knowledge but I wasn’t aware of it..there is a 32-inch OLED variant which is even cheaper than the regular MAG. It sells for $829 but is limited to 165hz. The MSI MAG 321UP. An even more neutered version (and name!) of the regular MAG...

    Would you ever go back to LCD after experiencing OLED?

    Welcome back Kramnelis ;) We missed you!

    4K 27" Mini-LED with good local dimming and 144+ Hz refresh rate?

    I have had the Acer X27 since inception (2018) and have it alongside my XG321UG. Only 384 zones but I still use it about 50% of the time (mostly for browsing/productivity while I game on the larger display) because the larger display can be too big for productivity for me. I am still astounded...

    Anyone out there with too much money have experience with both the ASUS PG32UQX and the Dell AW3423DW(F)?

    So the X27 had a fan and I was able to enter the service menu and lower the fan speeds significantly such that it was not audible. The temps were ok as well from what I remember. Likely you can do the same with the ASUS but not 100% sure. However, since yours is still under warranty that is the...

    Switching from top of the line Mini-LED to 3rd gen QD-OLED?

    I compared an XG321UG to the AW32 OLED side-by-side. Check out this thread here: https://hardforum.com/threads/alienware-aw3225qf-32-4k-240-hz-oled.2032779/page-3#post-1045825212 After having used the AW now for almost a month with the XG I can confidently say the XG is superior in HDR and the...

    Alienware AW3225QF 32" 4K 240 Hz OLED

    Supposedly QD-OLED is supposed to mitigate this when compared to WOLED (white boost pixel) according to this blog article by Samsung itself. Kinda interesting read. How much of it is marketing hype? Probably some...

    Alienware AW3225QF 32" 4K 240 Hz OLED

    Yes you’re correct. My memory has failed me in my old age! (Made correction to original post above).

    Alienware AW3225QF 32" 4K 240 Hz OLED

    I don’t. When I first started up the monitor Windows recorded it as 8-bit. But then when I booted up later it stated 10-bit (before I posted above) so I may be wrong…I could not find the answer on Dell site. I know for sure however the previous AW34 was an 8-bit+FRC. The monitor comes factory...

    Alienware AW3225QF 32" 4K 240 Hz OLED

    No fan I can hear. I got mine yesterday. Side-by-side with my XG321UG. Preliminary thoughts after several hours testing: — General: 1. No fan noise audible so far. 2. Curve is very slight but it’s there. If you don’t like curved monitors (like me) it might be a turn-off, but it could be...
