Finally a monitor to replace my Philips 42" beast. Well, I say beast, it's 4K HDR 1000, but it's only 60hz.


I can finally see what all the fuss is about high FPS games.

Still waiting for a 32" 4K OLED, 144Hz, VRR and a nice neutral design.

It's using the LG 42" panel going to assume here. Depending on price might be better off with that TV

The 42" LG C2 is glossy. Looks much better.

That depends. Gaming monitors have monitor features and DisplayPort. TVs don't. TVs also have auto dimming feature. It is uber annoying. I hope ASUS removes it from this monitor.

I'm pretty sure when in PC mode auto dimming is turned off.

I'm pretty sure when in PC mode auto dimming is turned off.

Maybe in a recent update. One of the advantages of QD-OLED (both Alienware 21:9 and Sony TV) was that they don't autodimm when you change the size of the white window.

Although all of those specs sound wonderful I would still go with 21:9 monitor. 4K is just too much for GPUs. And because height is roughly the same as 27" monitors you can play in 2560x1440p with black bars.

I have recently experienced PC gaming on LG C1. And OMG i have played WoW for 15 years and I haven't realized how beautiful that game is until I tried it on OLED. Tomb Rider with HDR... No comment. Gaming on OLED is just another level.

Now I am on a quest to replace every single display in my life with OLED. How and with what money I don't know. I just know I need to do it. MSI MEG 342C QD-OLED probably for my PC because I don't like G-Sync Module in Alienware. It is too restrictive.

If and when Samsung manages to make 27" 2560x1400p QD-OLED panels that are 144Hz+, and partners can make monitors for $400-$500 IPS and VA will just stop existing. As i have said this monitor sounds amazing on paper but no one can run 4K with proper graphics in high fps.
