[SUMMARY] Gaming Monitor Recommendations

coil whine meaning? very noisy?

Most comment was loud high pitched noise direct from behind the monitor

If only there’s white version. Hais. The cables (even the dp to mini dp one also hard to find high quality and in white) are so troublesome to find.

We are lucky got 1 local seller selling this already haha

Wa nice, this type of connection port so rare lol.

I did as much due diligence as I can for me to possibly purchase oled g8 haha.

Hopefully the price goes down below 2k.

Found another one

Seems like this is more convincing with 47 reviews

Nice, let’s wait for more reviews. I’m leaning towards lg 45gr95qe. Looks so good lol

Many thanks for sharing the experience.

For the dead pixel do you not consider return and ask for replacement since Amazon can be quite flexible on this ?

I am not sure there is an exchange policy with Amazon. Usually you can only choose to return and they will refund.

Used the 27M2V for almost a week, here is a quick summary:

Gaming
I play almost exclusively Dota, which doesn't really benefit from local dimming. The whole experience was sharp, colours are fine in SDR. Moving from 1440p to 2160p isn't noticeable unless I look out for it.

Work/Productivity
The high DPI is difficult for me because I use multiple screens of multiple resolutions (plugged into a laptop), and Outlook looks funky when doing that. I keep all scaling to 100% for my laptop, which is why it isn't the best experience.
That being said, I appreciate the extra windows I can now fit in smoothly.

I switch local dimming off because the movement of the mouse causes blooming, which is distracting

Movies
This is where the screen shines. HDR + Local Dimming is awesome, and I really enjoy the deeper blacks even compared to my VA panel (S3221QS). That being said, I sit away from my screen when watching shows, so the resolution isn't that noticeable.

Verdict
Depending on the games you play and the usage, you will get a different experience.

Mostly productivity and FPS/MOBAs, don't buy.
HDR games and movies, sure!
Do note I had some dead pixels - doesn't bother me, but it's there if I look for it.

In my opinion, if you don’t care about HDR, then really no need to spend this sort of money. A good IPS monitor is likely half the cost. For productivity, I would still recommend an ultra wide 1440p monitor as it gives you more screen estate for 2 applications/ documents side by side.

When using an external monitor together with a laptop, you can keep the 100% scaling on your laptop, while maintaining a different scaling on this monitor. For me, it will be 150%. No way I can see anything on 100% scaling because it will be too small.

Had a Samsung tech come to replace the panel and associated motherboard for my G8 Neo today. Same old issue still have scanlines, he told me another customer had the panel replaced 2-3 times and it still had scanlines. Not a good look at all.
Flicked them an email hoping they will let me refund or pay the difference for a G8 OLED instead, considering I did raise the issue with them the same week I received the monitor which was within the return period. They were the ones dragging on the entire issue for almost 2 months.

Got 50% chance I may get Alienware aw3423 Dwf. Now waiting for comparison vs lg 45 gr95qe.

So far there are only comparisons with the 27 inch lg oled, not the 45 inch one.

Yes standard warranty is different from burn in warranty. From Reddit quite a number of people are saying that their Lg representatives told them that there would be no burn in warranty.

Opps apology, you are right i got too excited saw the stock in now.

I check the LG warranty page very unlikely to cover burn in for this OLED monitor, only the high end TV G2/Z2 are covered.

Yeah if never cover burn in will be a deal breaker for me. I intend to use the monitor for productivity work too. Such an expensive monitor and never cover burn in, ridiculous lol.

ya could be deal breaker for many, I guess for 3 years coverage is better than many other country even HUB mentioned they only got 2 years coverage

I saw this condition written on the right hand bottom corner red underline which I guess might mean differently with american defination.
