LG 27" Ultragear™ OLED Gaming Monitor with 240Hz, 0.03ms GtG, nVIDIA® G-SYNC®
This screen is the best screen I have ever owned. OLED differs significantly from other panel approaches. However, since this is the first generation of the technology, the screen has a few hiccups. Personally, I don't mind, but it's important to note.
1. The maximum brightness of SDR is about 200 nits. That works fine for me, but if you're in a room with lots of natural light, this can be an issue.
2. Some games assume the screen signal is 4k and get stuck at 120Hz in full screen mode. I was very concerned about this issue but luckily after switching to infinite frame rate in the game that was having this issue the issue was resolved and it was running at 1440p 240hz. Besides adding Windows gaming improvements in Windows 11, this should also allay concerns about extremely slow input add-ons. Still an issue for me, but something to be aware of.
3. The default settings aren't great, the white point is extremely high, and there's a weird auto-power dimming feature by default that's annoying. But after improving it it is no longer a problem for me. But it's annoying that a product of this quality is so poorly calibrated by default.
Now that the bad is behind us, I'd like to point out some really powerful benefits.
1. OLED/1440p: Quite simply, I noticed a lot of small details in the game that I hadn't seen before. Even at low/medium settings, almost all games look sharper and more detailed, which is amazing.
2. HDR: For HDR-enabled games (such as Overwatch 2, Spider-Man Remastered, OW2), it looks absolutely stunning. The display's HDR implementation is impressive, ranging from 200 nits of peak brightness to 1,000 nits in HDR mode. All the advantages and disadvantages of the OLED form factor 10 times better in HDR The level of detail and color contrast in games that support it are truly amazing. However, I do not recommend using HDR all the time, I only enable it in games that support it.
Overall, while the negatives are significant and require individual attention and attention, they are mostly mitigated, but also issues that will likely improve with the next generation of OLED screens. So if you're hesitant to switch to an OLED display, it might be worth waiting for a brighter/cheaper panel, but if you're as impatient and curious as I am, it's a very satisfying and fun route to go. Screens are now a great entry point into OLED/HDR.
