    I have just purchased the AOC AG276QZD today. I got it for $964 AU ($658 US) due to a friend's staff discount. I am upgrading from a 6 year old 1080p 60hz IPS display, so I think the difference may be noticeable to a trained professional. This is $631 AU cheaper than the ROG Swift PG27AQDM, so I would consider it to be the right choice for me, since that would be out of budget anyway. This is going to be paired with my first ever PC build, and I am beyond excited.
    You and Steve have been a tremendous resource for figuring out what to buy as a beginner and I am sure you will continue to do the same in 2024! Happy New Year!
    For anyone wondering, I am intending to pair a 7800X3D with a 7900 XTX inside a Lian Li Lancool 216, but I am waiting until after CES to buy the GPU, just to be safe. I doubt Nvidia will change my mind, but I would rather be safe.

    this year I purchased a Gigabyte M28U based on your review. Excellent monitor for coding. My other systems are using 2K monitors and I didn't think 4K would make much difference, but I was wrong. 4k makes it easier on the eyes reading walls of text or code.

  • @davidgiles9751
    @davidgiles9751 Před 6 měsíci

    Recently, I've been leaning towards the LG 42 Flex. Yes, it's last years design, but looking at it in person is amazing. I like the versatility of going from flat to a 900r curve, plus it's ability to project the full 42" 16:9 ratio screen down to a 32" or 27" monitor, or a 21:9 (~38") ultrawide. It's been on sale a few times now on both Amazon and at Best Buy for just under $2,000. I know that ultrawides have gained in popularity for gaming, but the 16:9 ratio on the 42 Flex makes for a good combo of productivity plus use for flight simming (MSFS2020).

  • @ChristianSlagter

    Great video. I also like ultrawide and have the Dell alienware aw3423dwf. What I don't like is the high pitch coil whine and fan noise. Also I can't work with the text fringing, i do a lot of writing and some gaming aside. I'll look into your suggestions!

  • @shonen84

    I just bought the Samsung G8 OLED at Black Friday. I love the understated look and I find the Smart features are actually very useful. Text is also not an issue for me, I am working on a PhD so I use this for productivity at home, and I see no fringing. I personally think this issue is overblown, but YMMV. No coil whine for my recent unit either. I run Pixel Refresh feature once a week, just to minimize the (unavoidable) risk of burn-in. Very happy!

Also revisiting monitors after firmware updates like the situation with the NEO G9 would be interesting to see. BTW Samsung dropped another update back in October.

    38" Ultrawide is my favorite size and the 12:5 (24:10) ratio of 3840x1600 is chef's kiss for me. I use two 38" UWs in a vertical stack, the bottom being a 144hz AW3821DW mainly for gaming/media and the top is an older Acer CZ380CQK for everything else. Super happy with this setup and would love to see 38" OLED versions in the future.

    Don't forget guys, if you on occasion have a use case where you want higher refresh rates on your ultrawide, you can set scaling to GPU and play games at 2560x1440. With OLED's it's nice because the black bars are solid black and don't have that haziness to them.

    Thanks for a very interesting video. I was planning on buying an OLED monitor for my PC, but as I'm not a gamer and it would be used only for everyday internet and office work, it's clear I need to stick with a standard IPS monitor.
    Like you, I don't like 60Hz monitors and 75 Hz is hardly an upgrade, so looks like I shall have to find a suitable 144 Hz model. My biggest problem is space, which really limits me to 24 inch, without a major reshuffle of my office space... which could become excessively expensive, as well as inconvenient. Hey Ho! Happy New Year.

  • @Tomiply
    @Tomiply Před 6 měsíci +21

    1:05 I'm personally switching back to 16:9. I've had so many issues with games not supporting ultrawide correctly or even glitching out when trying to run, so I have to set the desktop to 16:9 to make the problem go away, then switch back to 21:9 for new games that actually support it. I guess it's not a problem if you mostly only play new AAA releases, but I play a TON of old games and new indie games, and a lot of them don't support 21:9, sadly.

    • @TheHanleyProject
      @TheHanleyProject Před 6 měsíci +2

      This is why I ditched my 21:9 monitor. It's just a pain when the games don't support it, and even setting it to display a 16:9 picture and leaving black bars on either side just doesn't feel as good as playing on a native 16:9 display.

    • @PREDATEURLT
      @PREDATEURLT Před 6 měsíci +2

      Yes, I am using 21:9 for few years and every second game have problems and even some AAA in 2022-2023, wasted countless hours searching for modifications, that work, don't work or make set of new problems. 32inch 16:9 looks good instead of 34inch 21:9. And people talking about that "immersion", I not that long ago had opportunity to play on 55inch TV and PS5, and immersion is on another level its not about 21:9 its about overall size of the screen.

    • @PetrSzturc
      @PetrSzturc Před 6 měsíci +2

      Similar: I am thinking of going from 21:9 to 16:10 for gaming because it is just better supported, though I havent had game breaking issues. And I am using same 21:9 for about 8 years for work as well. Where I need it, so I am kind of blocked. :)

Weirdly good despite being VA and cheaper than most in the bracket.

    Agree that the 38" format, with the 3840x1600 resolution, is a much nicer experience than the 34" displays. I hope that the 38" will be more popular in the future, making way for better gaming monitors. I use a 38" monitor as my primary monitor today, and would love a gaming QD-OLED version, if it could be used for work as well.

      "It depends" A lot f poeple want to run the 57in at max refresh rate. If you are ok with 120hz or 144hz, then it is easier to drive. But no one is going to spend 2k on a monitor who doesn't also have a decent computer to drive it.
      Really, the main issue with the 57in is the TN panel. The view angles are rather poor, hence the curve. Lacking Thunderbolt 4 input is a miss as well. I get that it is a gaming monitor, but at this point I think all monitors should offer a USB-C connection + power for laptop connections. @@drunkhusband6257

    I don’t know if it’s a gap in the market or a gap in reviews but when I went to replace a 12 year old professional display it was very difficult to find options with high refresh rate and pro level color performance. Finally ditching my 50hz (!) refresh rate is astonishing but it’s hard to find a display that can also give me the color/uniformity performance I need for photo and video editing.

    As far as I understand by using the CRU software you can enable 1000 nit peak brightness on the OLED G8 with AMD GPU. At least for me the Windows HDR calibration tool clips at 1000 nits with G8 & 7900 XTX.

    I switched from the Samsung G7 32inch to the Samsung oled g8 this summer. Fantastic monitor despite som faults like the monitor going to sleep then later wont recognize the pc, so i have to restart the whole system to Get it to work… despite that the monitor is for me a wow experience, i have visited tons of older games aswell as new just to see how they look. The Motion clarity and response time combined with g sync is fantastic. The only thing that bothers me is the vrr flickering related to oled monitors and massiv fps drops. (Vrr control works but for me as a very sensitiv person i find the input lag to increase a bit and stuttering so i wont use it) Thank you for all youre fantastic videos this year as every year. Very happy with my purchase despite som faults.

    The review of the G274QPX showed that the response times of the monitor are subpar, one could say the response times are too slow for the 240hz refresh rate (Refresh compliance?). Why do you keep recommending the monitor, honest question? Does inverse ghosting or overshoot not really matter when playing high fps competitive games?

    Yall really sleeping on the Odyssey G6 240hz 1440p VA. Lower response times than most ips panels and 4x better blacks.
    Cons being the viewing angles and curve if you don't like it. But if you're sitting withing 20 degrees of the center of the monitor the g6 is the way to go for 240hz 1440p. It's the perfect middle ground between lcd and oled with great blacks, good peak brightness, excellent response times. The Odyssey g7 240hz 1440p are also fantastic.
    Persoanlly I'm staying away from oled monitors until burn in after 12k hours at 50% brightness is negligible(I've had most of my monitors for a min of 5 years)
    These reviewers can afford to churn through a new monitor every 3 years so longetivity is not a factor for most of them.

    • @fafski1199
      @fafski1199 Před 6 měsíci

      I bought a Odyssey G6 back in February and honestly, I cant really fault it when it comes to high refresh 1440p gaming. Having 240hz, nice blacks, good colour's, good brightness, a great response time and smart features, is just pretty hard to fault for the £420 that I paid for it. For such a cheap monitor, it also handles HDR surprisingly well. I also use it's smart features (Tizen) far more than I first thought that I would. There's very little in the way of downsides to it, TBH. The only ones that I've found is first setting it up, which takes ages trolling through menus, doing firmware updates and setting up all of it's smart features. There's also a very slight bit of light bleed in it's lower right corner, but that's mostly unnoticeable even in a dark room and very occasionally it's "game mode" just flips out for no reason and has to be reset. The curved screen can also take a few days to get used to, if like me you where used to flat screens. But once you get used to it, you simply don't notice the curve anymore and actually find that it's more immersive in games (especially in first person games). Viewing angles although not fantastic are decent enough, as long as you don't fidget or move about in your chair too much. Honestly, it's the best monitor that I've owned and I've never regretting buying it, unlike several monitors that I've owned in the past. It's just a great affordable mid-range 1440p monitor, which I can barely fault except for a few very minor niggles (a 9/10).
      Strangely, I don't think the G6 was ever reviewed on this channel by Tim. Which is a shame because like all the Samsung Odyssey's, it's just a great monitor (although it's often overlooked).

    I’m still really happy with my OLED G8, but it does have a couple of bugs. If I turn the display off for a few hours with my PC still on, when I turn it back on sometimes it would say that the resolution isn’t supported. The only solution would be to unplug and plug the display cable.
    Similarly, it would sometimes be overly sharp if I turn it back on. I have to adjust the sharpness, like go one below then go back to my setting for it to return to normal. Really weird and annoying.

    I use the M27Q from the Dec 4, 2020, review. I bought this year (2023) back in February. I have it set to 120Hz and man how smooth is it from 60Hz. I had in the box for months still using my 60Hz 24in. (fit on my desk) Till my dad's kicked the bucket, we had to wait a week for a monitor (researching and purchasing). I gave him my 60Hz to use (what he was running at) I pulled out the m27q and was blown away at the move from 1080P and 60Hz to 1440p 120Hz. Even older best monitors (Hardware unboxed) are worth buy if cheaper. I paid $299USD +tax on amazon (I live in the US) Yet I prefer Hardware Unboxed reviews over others. (Edit: If I had to go back to 1080p 60hz for gaming. I assure you I would be kicking and screaming all the way and complain every hour.)

AND the peak brightness setting (which is effectively the 1000 nit mode) goes off all the time. If you're gaming and want it on high, you have to constantly check and turn it back on. and when you turn monitor off and back on, it frequently goes back to off.
