    Alienware AW3926QW Glossy 39" 5K2K 165Hz w/ RGB Stripe

    I just cant imagine a OLED monitor with current tech that gets that bright lasting beyond a year of heavy PC related used. Works great as a occasional media consumption display like on a TV with a lot more surface area to dissipate heat but no chance as a desktop monitor.

    Samsung G8 G80HS 6k @ 165Hz dual mode 3K @ 330Hz priced at $1499 anyone interested I am considering it and comparing it to my samsung neo g9 57''

    This is garbage for anything but the Apple freaks who live and die by the term retina and only evaluate a display on PPI and how well it scales in MacOS

    Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" 7680x2160 super ultrawide (mini-LED)

    I've had non stop issues with this monitor running DP 2.1 since like Q3 of 2025 after some Nvidia driver update (5090). It wouldn't wake from sleep, it would turn into grey static with purple vertical slices when launching some games with RTX HDR, etc. I was ready to throw it out a window. All...

    Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" 7680x2160 super ultrawide (mini-LED)

    The TCL 32 R84 makes this monitors local dimming look like absolute trash. I've been comparing them side by side for a few days now and have gotten to the point where I refuse to use the Samsung because of how crappy its dimming algorithm behaves.

    LG 45″ OLED Ultrawide 5120 x 2160@165Hz 45GX990A and 45GX950A

    I don't think the EDID is reporting anything incorrectly, the same thing occurs with all of the LG WOLED models (some kind of internal tone mapping maybe). Calibration app matches what the monitor does on a 10% window. Doing the above CRU edit blows out highlights. I think overall I just much...

    Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" 7680x2160 super ultrawide (mini-LED)

    This monitor will burn in just as the 49 before it did. Heat causes the quantum dot layer to wear which is why there are many reports like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/1aywmdb/g9_neo_49_miniled_image_retention/ You can avoid it by not using the desktop at 400nits+

    Is the Asus PG32UQX still the king of Mini-LED displays?

    Yeah this monitor behaves the same. Here's a good review with some comparisons to OLED monitors. https://chimolog-co.translate.goog/tcl-32r84/?_x_tr_sl=ja&_x_tr_tl=en#TCL_32R84%E3%81%AEHDR%E6%80%A7%E8%83%BD%E3%82%92%E3%83%86%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88

    It drops chroma to squeeze 120hz out of the ancient HDMI port.

    LG 45″ OLED Ultrawide 5120 x 2160@165Hz 45GX990A and 45GX950A

    I tried this monitor but was unhappy with it's HDR performance as well as the horrible grey uniformity of my unit. The vertical streaks were visible on even non grey content after 40+ hours and many pixel refreshes.

    Is the Asus PG32UQX still the king of Mini-LED displays?

    The newer ones are much better. Better FALD tuning and also slightly better overdrive tuning. It's not the bloomfest the early launch versions were where people posted videos of crosshair bloom.

    Is the Asus PG32UQX still the king of Mini-LED displays?

    Yeah I've stuck with the 57 because everything else I try just has no where near the versatility or overall balance. It's not the best at anything (other than immersion) but it does everything well enough. I don't think the TCL matches PG32UQX's color volume. It's actually quite a ways behind...

    Is the Asus PG32UQX still the king of Mini-LED displays?

    It took basically 4 years but I'd call the PG32UQX dethroned: https://www.walmart.com/ip/TCL-32-R84-Series-UHD-HDR-Curved-QD-Mini-LED-Gaming-Monitor-32R84/17397056558 Pretty bizarre but I got mine from Walmart of all places (thought TCL doesn't sell monitors in North America?). It's slightly...

    I'm still using this monitor and enjoyed the BF6 beta.

    700nits on a test slide. In actual content 10% highlights land in the 450nit range which is why this monitor looks so much more dim than the 42 C4/C5.
