Help me decide..........OLED monitors

[Paridian]

Hey all,

I've decided I'm finally going to upgrade my monitor but I just cannot nail down what to upgrade to....

The current options I've whittled it down to are:

- Alienware 32" 4k QD-OLED - AW3225QF
- ASUS ROG Swift PG32UCDM 4K Ultra HD 31.5" QD-OLED
- MSI MPG 271QRX QD-OLED 360hz
- MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED 240hz

I just can't decide. May I have your opinions/experiences with any of them so I can make a more informed decision. I spend upwards of 12 - 15 hours a day at my desk for work and gaming.

I'm currently rocking 2x ASUS ROG Swift PG279QE 27" and they've served me well but it's about time I went full throttle. Games wise I play a lot of JRPG and Adventure. Ya know....big open world games. I do play some FPS but nothing mega competitive. Battlefield my go to usually. My current CPU/GPU combo is the Intel Core i5-13600KF 3.5 GHz and Geforce RTX 4070 TI.

The main concern I have is the choice over 4k or not 4k. Is the jump from 1440p to 4K really that good? I'm not looking to upgrade my GPU anytime soon so will a 4k panel be too much for GPU to handle at this point? Also the reason I've listed both variations of the MSI is I'm not sure if the jump in refresh is worth the extra coin. What's peoples perception of that?

Is there any other monitors that I've overlooked and should check out?

Hit me with it. Hopefully look to buy it before the day is out.

Cheers in advance.

I think first and foremost, you need to narrow down your options by settling on a size. We cannot decide for you if 27" is right for you, or if 32" is a better (or worse) fit for you.

I know for me, my desk (and keyboard tray) and chair determine the distance the screens of my monitors screens sit away from the tip of my proboscis. And my desk determines the height my monitors sit above the floor. My chair, based on the length of my legs and my torso, determine the height my eyes sit above the floor and in relation to the monitors.

Then factoring in the flexibility of my neck, NO WAY do I want 32 inch monitors. I would be rubbernecking left and right, up and down all day long to see what is going on. There absolutely is such a thing with monitors (and big screen TVs too) as "too big". So for me, 27" is the biggest screen I would want.

You need to decide what size is best for you - then go from there.

Most of the QD OLED panels and WOLED offer the same picture quality, same HDR, same refresh rates, most deciding factor should be price.
Wouldn't worry about 4K performance, you can always use DLSS and the pixel density on 32 inch 4K is very good, helps a lot with text clarity on OLEDs. And in game image quality is stunning.

I bought Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2 couple of days ago, went from LG 42 inch C2 OLED and I'm liking the smaller size and higher refresh rate. Deciding factor was price it was 975$ including VAT, which would be 750$ without tax. Prices of those screens vary a lot by region for whatever reason, but all the other options were over 1000-1100$, it's also QD OLED 240 HZ 4K screen. There is also P model of that screen but only difference is addition of DP 2.1 port. Didn't need it though as for me DSC does not make the image quality worse.

Having owned an ASUS pg27aqdm (27” 1440p 240hz) since release, as a mixed use monitor in your case, I don’t think OLED is a great choice.

I run black wallpapers, no desktop icons, and autohide taskbar, yet I still have some mild burn in and medium gray windows make it even more apparent (dark mode web browsers/ui). I run the pixel cleaner as advised, and use all of the protection features on top of that.

If you’re going to be using it for extended periods of work with static elements/ui in productivity based software, I again strongly recommend against going OLED.

4k is also significantly more difficult to run well and without lots of upscaling/fg, and will only get worse without a significant GPU upgrade to go along with that. 27” 1440p is generally a good compromise imo.

I’m personally looking to swap my monitor out for mini led in the near future, as long as some of the new IPS based variants in Q2 don’t have any significant issues.

 

[phanbuey]

I have the Alienware for mixed use -- it's good a few issues:

- The VRR flicker in HDR is pretty bad especially in games like STALKER that don't have the worlds stablest framerate to begin with - fine if you turn off HDR.
- The monitor self maintenace messages are a little bizzare and sometimes will tell you to contact dell because some anomaly was detected on older firmwares.

Otherwise the monitor is awesome -- great colors and I love the subtle curve on 32", that to me was more important than HDR.

4K with oleds is a MUST for mixed use or you text will look like crap. The sub-pixel layout it not as good as IPS and it's not that bad if you have the PPI to hide the issues, if you don't your text will just look awful and nothing you can due about it due to the layout of the subpixels.

I would honestly even go as far as recommending a 27" 4k for that issue alone.

If not oled what else is there? VA got terrible smearing and IPS edge bleeding.

You should go after QD Oled 27 any brand would do.

ps. send £2m before summer... im a busy man

IPS based mini-led, not to mention good IPS are fine regarding bleed. There aren’t many good options aside from an ACER panel afaik, and I’m vary of them atm.

MSI has one or two around the corner. In the case of 12+ hours daily of mixed work and gaming, I’d still avoid OLED personally.

Don’t get me wrong, the response time, blacks and colors are great, but burn-in and the horrendous VRR flicker at times with OLED are more than enough justification to look at potential mini-led options in my book.

It has to be a compromise - you can not have all perfect device but oled monitor almost is. Strange thing is our mate want to replace fine monitor with something better - not sure he will see any meaningful difference.

Most things are a compromise. OPs use case of 12-15 hours of work/gaming is going to run an OLED into the ground. I said my peace so no value unless the OP wants to entertain the idea of mini-led further.

No they aren’t, they’re using 27” 144hz ips panels.

sorry i havent look properly...well...it looks like we are all poor...

 

[Paridian]

Apologies, I should have clarified....I'll be keeping one of my current ASUS ROG Swift PG279QE monitors and use that for work and use the OLED solely for gaming.

After further research and watching/reading MANY reviews, I think I'm going to go for the MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED 240hz

My reasoning....while it would be nice to have, I don't think I'll need the 360hz. I enjoy FPS games now and then but I'm hardly a competitive player, so the extra 120hz would be wasted on me...especially with it being £150 more expensive too. When it comes to 27" vs 32", I just think with my current GPU I'll get more out of a 1440p than I would a 4K. Maybe in a couple of years when I upgrade to a 60 or 70 series I'll upgrade to a 4K monitor.

I think first and foremost, you need to narrow down your options by settling on a size. We cannot decide for you if 27" is right for you, or if 32" is a better (or worse) fit for you.

You need to decide what size is best for you - then go from there.

My desk is 30 inch deep with one monitor wall mounted and the other on a bracket mount. Don't think 32" would change much in terms of being less comfortable.

I have the Alienware for mixed use -- it's good a few issues:

- The VRR flicker in HDR is pretty bad especially in games like STALKER that don't have the worlds stablest framerate to begin with - fine if you turn off HDR.

Did look at 27" 4K options but they were either on back order in the UK or out of my budget range. I think I'm going to go for the MSI for now then upgrade to a 4K further down the line when I get round to upgrading my GPU....but thank you for your input.

That Alienware you linked looks sweet....not available in the UK till April it seems and and then I guess it will be scalped.

as a mixed use monitor in your case, I don’t think OLED is a great choice.

I run black wallpapers, no desktop icons, and autohide taskbar, yet I still have some mild burn in and medium gray windows make it even more apparent (dark mode web browsers/ui). I run the pixel cleaner as advised, and use all of the protection features on top of that.

This makes no sense.

First you say as a "mixed use" monitor, OLED is not a great choice.

Then you say if using it for "extended periods with static elements" (the opposite of mixed use), you don't recommend OLED.

Why don't you just say, if using the monitor for anything, don't get OLED?

I get you don't like the performance you got out of your monitor and certainly are entitled to your personal opinion. But your anecdotal example is just that, anecdotal. More and more users are moving to OLED, and are happy with OLED because for them, they perform beautifully. And this is not just about the gorgeous displays but also due the advances in the technologies implemented in the latest generation OLEDs that minimize and mitigate burn-in and retention issues of the past for the vast majority of users.

Heck, I still get complements about my 8 year old LG OLED TV which is on at least 6 hours every day with its brilliant colors (including blue), white whites and black blacks, no shadows and no burn-in/retention problems.

The reality is, for mixed use, OLED is an excellent choice. And I note @Paridian said it will be used for a variety of games and work tasks - thus "mixed use".

And the truth is, folks need to stop spreading this old, outdated, inaccurate misinformation and get with the times. As seen in this March 2024 report, burn-in is not a problem with the latest OLED technologies, with either traditional OLED (WOLED - white OLED) or QD-OLED with normal use. Note in regards to burn-in, it says (my bold underline added),

Now, it's worth pointing out that our test is an extreme case. Two months of runtime on our test is the equivalent of watching about four hours of CNN per day for about eight months without ever changing channels or watching anything else. As long you watch varied content and don't leave static elements visible on the screen for long periods, you shouldn't have any issues with either panel type.

is going to run an OLED into the ground

This is FUD!

It should be noted that even in those torture tests where monitors are subjected to abusive use, all monitors (OLED and LCD) suffered maleffects. These tests intentionally abuse the monitors well beyond what any normal use involves. In the below test, they ran a 24/7 CNN news feed on each display at maximum peak brightness - continuously for 10 months.

Note this report (again, my bold underline added),

• After ten months of torture testing (equivalent to roughly four years and two months of real-world use), every OLED TV has started to develop some form of permanent burn-in. It's worse on some than others, though.
• While OLEDs are the primary focus of most people's burn-in concerns, testing with LCD TVs has also uncovered some serious issues with LCD longevity as well. Distracting zebra stripe-esque degradation to uniformity has developed on every LCD TV, with far more severity than what's happening with OLED TVs in the same testing.
• The OLED monitors show very little signs of image retention, even at month 6 (simulated 2.5 years) of torture testing. This is promising but also arguably necessary, considering the nature of PC work and gaming having many static elements.

So if you are going to crank up the brightness to an unrealistic, maximum intensity, put on CNN 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 10 months straight, don't use an OLED monitor. Or a LCD. Or a CRT either.

For the record, later this year, I am doing a new build for me, and I will absolutely be getting a pair of OLED monitors - not sure which ones, yet.

 

[sneekypeet]

Maybe what I am reading is panel based or something, but my OLED in specs has been a beast.

I run mine at full brightness, with HDR, and I have yet to see any burn in or shadows, with well over a years use.
Coming from older gen gear, there is a pop of color, the blacks are impressive, and gaming is much more enjoyable visually, of course, your results may vary.

I liked asus for other things, like updating firmware more often than others, as well as downloadable ICC profiles to get the most of your purchase.

Also, usage is 12 hours a day easy, I dont let the monitor use the dimmer, and have yet to run a pixel cleaner.

 

[Jtuck9]

I'm not sure if it's standard practice but the Alienware I linked has a 3 year warranty "which notably includes coverage for burn-in"

For the record, later this year, I am doing a new build for me, and I will absolutely be getting a pair of OLED monitors - not sure which ones, yet.

I'm keen to hear which ones you choose!

How on earth do you pull something like that off? I've been using my LG G3 an average of 12h/day since I got it in Sept 2023 and it's at 4487 hours right now, all I did was leave the mitigations enabled and turn it off when I'm afk with the remote - that's it. There is zero image retention to this day and I'm fairly sure my Genshin UID would have been seared onto this panel by now.

Sure, I run brightness on lowest setting, but it's bright enough to be uncomfortable at times even as it is, I wish it had an even weaker setting

If you’re working with software for a normal 8 hour work day, in even 2 hour stretches without breaks, you absolutely are susceptible to burn in without slamming brightness and using oled care software functions.

Nothing I said was inaccurate, if you wanna argue semantics take it to a PM.

My panel is living proof you can experience burn in with all protections in place and I don’t even use it for work. Simple 2-3 hour sessions of gaming 3-4 times a week. My sleep timer is even set to 1m.

 

[remekra]

Before newly bought Aorus QD OLED I had LG 42C2 for little over two years. Ran it at full brightness, as it was pretty dim in SDR game mode, only OLED protection I used was pixel shift. I work remotely on my work screen but that OLED was running right beside it with YouTube turned on for 8 hours daily and still no sign of burn in.

You can also look for a screen that has burn in warranty covered. My current one has 3 years coverage.

Tbh after using OLED screens, even with the risk of burn in (which I think is pretty low) I'll take that over LCD anytime. Response times, contrast, colors and HDR performance are just too good.

I have LG 65C1 in my living room running TV all day and also no sign of burn in and that is an older panel tech.

 

[Bill_Bright]

How on earth do you pull something like that off? I've been using my LG G3 an average of 12h/day since I got it... . There is zero image retention to this day

And this is fairly typical. Same with SP, remekra and with I have seen too.

Nothing I said was inaccurate, if you wanna argue semantics take it to a PM.

Yes it was. You claimed OLED is not for mixed use, then you said it is not for extended periods with static elements. That is not a matter of semantics (so don't PM me about it!). Those are total opposite scenarios that, in effect, are you saying don't use OLED for anything.

I am sorry your monitor is not treating you right. And I am sorry you are convinced your sample-size-of-one experience renders moot the whole point. But it doesn't, as evidenced by the comments from sneekypeet, Dr Dro, remekra, and my own experience - not to mention the links I provided.

Again, you are entitled to your opinion, but as noted in my sig, not your own facts. So please, stop spreading this FUD.

I'm keen to hear which ones you choose!

Me too! When I complete the build, it will become my primary computer and so I will update my TPU System Specs with that information then. My problem is, my computer desk has a hutch that limits the height and size of my monitors. 24" monitors are ideal now as they fit under the hutch nicely with the center of the screens slightly below eye level (where I like it) while still giving me room for my surround sound speakers and the speaker control box. But I've yet to find any 24" OLED monitors. I worry even 27" monitors will be too cramped.

 

[Space Lynx]

If you plan to watch a lot of movies/tv shows, and have access to 4k netflix plan or other 4k content, I'd recommend 32" 4k" variants.

if its just going to be for gaming, then 27"1440p high refresh is def easier to run.

Hearsay and opinion from users isn’t proof. Not only that but my specific proof is evidence that you can experience burn in ideal condition's with minimal usage (software protections in place, no icons, black wallpapers, hidden ui, non-max brightness, 1m sleep timer).

The point being if some intends to use this primarily as a work monitor for extended periods (12-15 hours as the OP stated) you absolutely should take into account that this is the worst case scenario for an OLED monitor. Sorry I don’t want the guy to destroy $1800+ worth of hardware without any additional input and or options.

Nor was it/this absolute statement that “all oleds are bad and will burn-in”, the OPs use case is just the worst possible use scenario for the tech. Get over yourself.

 

[Todestrieb]

Oh, the 32" vs 27", 4K vs 1440p and "is OLED ready for prolonged mixed use" debacle. That's a lot of subjective question...

My brother runs the MSI MPG 271QRX (27" 1440p 360Hz QDOLED) with a Philips 27" 1440p IPS. He bought the QDOLED at launch week, so it should have been used for ~11 months. At ~200nits. It looks awesome, and text clarity issue is not very noticeable. No burn in issue, but AFAIK he has been taking care of the monitor, and he doesn't put non-gaming usage onto the QDOLED side very often.
His main usage is shooters. Many different shooters. And some racing games.

I have a very strong opinion of wanting double 27" 4K for myself, just because I want to stuff as many pixels in my limited physical space (no way my desk can do double 32") and I have gotten used to one.
The monitors I'm considering are both 27" 4K QDOLEDs that are not launched yet, namely ROG PG27UCDM (very likely, because it looks superior in features) and Gigabyte MO27U2 (just because it is Gigabyte), to pair with a Gigabyte M27U (27" 4K IPS) that I'm running. Like my brother, I intend to put the M27U for more of the non-gaming usage.

---

With that out of the way...

4K or 1440p? -> The MPG 271QRX is awesome enough, but because I'm the bigger brother I want mine to be more awesome. If you don't hate DLSS, it is useful to relieve the load of 4K. It shouldn't be that heavy with DLSS.

If 1440p, 240Hz or 360Hz -> IIRC some shooters like Rainbow Six Siege can go way above 240fps easily. And you have enough money. So, 360Hz. But there were 240Hz options that were very very price attractive on the last...whatever holiday sale. And one might easily argue that 240Hz is awesome enough.

27" or 32" -> Do you have enough physical space? Like, do you have a big enough desk? Can you accomodate a slightly longer viewing distance for a 32"? I can't, but If you can, and you feel okay with a bigger monitor, then sure why not?
FYI, the difference between 32" and 27" in terms of width is ~4" (~10cm).

OLED or not? -> I'm sure I want an OLED, but double OLED is probably a nope for me, because I'm fine running two different monitors.
I have re-read the OP many times and failed to get if you want to replace both monitors with 2 OLEDs. If you want multi-monitor setup, keeping at least one of your current monitor, or buying non-OLED monitor to match whatever your new 32" OLED might be an option. Just saying. EDIT: welp, didn't see OP's followup post.
Alienware and ASUS should have 3yrs burn-in warranty. Not sure about others.

Side note: The main display on the iPhone 13mini is OLED. I bought it on launch week for my region ,so ~40months, have it gone through an average of at least 14hrs of usage per day, with lots of lots of them on the same result screen of the same game (partly because the game is light enough that I run it while working, partly because I may fall asleep while playing, leading to hours of the same result screen with the same static UI elements in moderate-to-high brightness, and I'm talking one game here). It took a lot more abuse than most desktop / TV screens, but it still looks like new. No burn-in at all. Really.

 

[Bill_Bright]

Hearsay and opinion from users isn’t proof.

Not only that but my specific proof

Huh? Are you really that ate up with yourself that you don't see the irony in what you just said? How sad.

So everyone else in this thread is spreading hearsay and opinion, but not you! Wow.

Nor was it/this absolute statement that “all oleds are bad and will burn-in”

Nobody said that.
