what do you guys think of corsair monitors?

overpriced for what you get, but good quality if you can get it on a good sale.

I decided to wait until Spring 2025 before I buy my first OLED monitor. I am either going to do glass from Dough, or w.e MSI / LG release new in the Spring.

I am also considering Dell/Alienware OLED if they release a new model between now and Spring 2025, mainly because I have an IRL friend who had to use their return thingy, and they did one day shipping on his monitor replacement and was a simple process for the burn in warranty request. other companies don't even come close to that kind of support. so yeah, def considering that now.

While I'm browsing for monitor I found this Xiaomi mini LED monitor. It's cheap enough that I might buy this, specs looks decent!

I did read some reviews on this one and it is supposedly fairly decent. I believe there are some reviews up on Youtube, so watch those first before buying, but yeah it's a decent monitor from what I remember.

Seems good, 1152 zones for a 27" is something alright. Those are OLED level blacks without auto dimming BS.
I've used their 2K 27" monitor for a couple of years, and it had really good colours and speed, great ergonomics (lovely stand) and overall premium build feel. The only negative is the eye fatigue, probably induced by some low frequency PWM flicker tech.
Do check if this one is PWM flicker free on forums, reddit, as you won't see that stuff mentioned in any review.
