If you want to avoid test frigging then bestbgo 4k resolution as most 1st and 2nd gen still have text fringing atb1440p

if i get 4k 32inch me will still set the size of text to 125 or 150%. text to small for my eye.

i will test when dell shop or any shop that let me adjust some setting their monitor once the new model ultra wide is here

The new dell 34in wide is still using gen 1 panel in the review.

Hey Yongkit, are you still using the Samsung 27-inch G81SF 4K OLED monitor? If so, I have a few questions.

1. How much did you spend on the monitor?

2. What games have you played on the monitor?

3. Have you ever felt frame rate limited? (I assumed you're using a 7900XTX)

4. How is your overall experience with the monitor?

Thank you.

Hey Yongkit, are you still using the Samsung 27-inch G81SF 4K OLED monitor? If so, I have a few questions.
1. How much did you spend on the monitor?

Hi,

I got it S$1,772.28 at launched with 20% discount.

2. What games have you played on the monitor?

since i got it mostly try on FF16, RDR2, RE4, FF7 remake & Stellar Blade, Forza Horizon and occasionally COD fps

3. Have you ever felt frame rate limited? (I assumed you're using a 7900XTX)

most of time i turn off overlay if game is smooth and no real felt on frame rate limited except ff16 running at 4k is too demanding i need to use FSRAA + FG. Yes still on 7900XTX

4. How is your overall experience with the monitor?

Overall i have very good experience it over the LG 1st gen OLED, the screen uniformity is better and color is more vibrant, and i also try Apple TV on both LG & G8.

G8 with better streaming because of native 4k high ppi and also utilised better with HDR10+ on Apple TV.

Previously just 2 months before, Edge and Chrome was lack of HDR supporting given me the resort to choose beta Edge & Chrome to stream HDR 4k on Netflix, now the updated Edge & Chrome have better HDR & 4K ultra streaming without need to use the BETA Edge & Chrome for Netflix and getting close to Apple TV.

main reason i choose this over other 27 4k OLED was the matte screens (personally prefer matte only which is why i waiting so long to get this 27in 4k matte) & flexibility in monitor menu even when HDR is enable the setting is just as flexible as in SDR control which other monitor have the limitation to adjust example below setting are normally locked in other models:

Brightness, Contrast, Shadow Boost, Gamma, Color Temp, Power Saving

if you curious do i regrest getting this unit? my answer is 100% no.

if it is better then LG WOLED 1st Gen ? Yes definately especially no text fringging from every angle based on my close to 2 months usage now.

4k 240 27 inch how much now??

4k 240 27 inch how much now??

Depends what model you wanna buy. Aw2725Q I bought for 1k.

thinking of getting either one of these to replace my 42C3:

PG 27UCDM for 1.6k
PG32 UCDM for 1.7k (sale period)
Upcoming Asus 32 inch true black Oled monitor.

Now thinking whether 27 or 32 is better, I have AW3225QF too, and 27 inch 4k 240hz is very sharp and responsive.

Dell have 2 models below $1k

i think on HDR color Dolby Vision is very colorful compare HDR10 seems you have 2 out of 3 are dolby vision capable.

i now more towards HDR10+ instead for game and movie on pc and apple tv

lucky you, my company start implementing policy that only windows pc is allowed because mac users always raising incompatibility issues with software that needs to be used.

kena saboed by them, soon even own window device cannot use, need use company one
