The smearing of white text on black background is the VA panel. That will not go away. The Light Bleed you may be able to get a better monitor, but its hard to know for sure, its a edge lit panel so its likely you will always have some light bleed.

Thank you for your hands on impressions! Solidified that I will have to find a way to make the 48" OLED work.

Hmmmmmmmm. I can deal with the slower pixel response times easy enough, I'm not super sensitive to that. The noise though. That is a big bummer for me. I might have to reconsider a LG OLED.

HDR is a complete marketing gimmick unless its a OLED panel, or has a FALD (Full Array Local Dimming) backlighting solution. Pay absolutely no attention to any monitor listed under HDR1000 (note many HDR1000 monitors are bad too, but that's where they cross over from bad to ok). As to the base...

This monitor looks absolutely fantastic, but I have one concern with it - the speed of its FALD when gaming. I know that the Nvidia GSYNC Module is specifically tuned to help with processing for very fast FALD, and I am interested in seeing how slow it is without that.

Any luck yet gettting a Macbook to drive 4k 120hz, or is that ship sailed?

What is the depth on that desk?

I am super interested in seeing how the heck they got a 1000 nit brightness with a direct backlit display.

Anyone ever find a mount for this TV (wall or desk) that works well with a standing desk that has up/down positions?

I think we can be pretty sure its the same panels used in other announced monitors: 32" - Same panel as Asus PG32UQ 43" - Same panel as Asus XG43UQ 48" - Same panel as LG CX 48.

Given the size of the monitor we can be sure its not using FALD, so its essentially the Gigabyte version of the PG32UQ. Id guess ~$1200?

Yes, do not run the voltage refresher often. I would actually recommend you never run it, as the TV will run it itself from time to time, and thats usually enough. Turn the OLED off and give it some time. I highly doubt 18 hours of static content caused permanent burn in. Leave it off, let the...

New mini IPS FALD with triple the zones will hopefully help with that.

Anyway, to your point about the 60hz version having slow FALD - that is my worry with the 120hz. If it has the same FALD speed its straight up my dream monitor with HDMI 2.1 and USB-C, but I'm doubtful it will.

I believe you are thinking of the PA32UCX, a 60hz variant, , not the UCG. The UCG is not out yet, and is the same 144hz panel used in the PG32ucx (these names man).

What do you guys think about the ProArt version of this monitor - https://www.asus.com/us/Displays-Desktops/Monitors/ProArt/ProArt-Display-PA32UCG/ I need to use this monitor for: 1. PC Gaming. 2. PS5 Gaming. 3. Work. The ProArt version has a Thunderbolt connection for connecting my work...

Yes, and that really sucks. But if I had to choose between a crappy IPS edge lit panel at 144hz or a OLED at 60hz (with VRR) the OLED absolutely has a chance. The image just looks that much better.

Honestly, I dont even need 120hz. Its wonderful, but I can function with 60hz. But I cannot go back to the days of VSYNC. I absolutely require VRR. Just a small 40-60fps range and I would strongly consider the OLED monitors.

The PG32UQX will be noticeably better than the PG27UQ with halos, but noticeably worse than the LG How is IPS glow on your PG27UQ? I have heard proper FALD IPS have much much less than normal.

Unfortunently I’m starting to think not till 2022.

I had the same experience. Absolutely amazing monitor that blows everything else out of the water, and works great for controller gaming. But I could just never get mouse and keyboard to work. What I ended up doing was buying a TV stand that fit right behind the desk - this one - and that gave...

Yes, it can. I’m mostly interested in a MacBook Pro Intel truthfully, but any data is good data!

IPS glow we will have to see, but it’s older smaller cousin PG27uq could achieve good contrast, and the ProArt version of this monitor can do the same. Good FALD can help a lot.

Update on the PG32UQX. Looks like it might actually hit its April rumored release: https://www.tftcentral.co.uk/blog/asus-rog-swift-pg32uqx-with-32-ips-panel-4k-resolution-144hz-g-sync-ultimate-and-hdr-1400/ I might actually get it if it doesnt suck. $3k is absurd but Im tired of having either...

Yeah, if they enabled this they would just get bombarded with complaints about audio lag. I’m sure it’s easier for their support to just disable this.

I hate curved screens, but won’t a 32” flat VA have aweful color shifting?

What monitor? Most likely it will work fine, as most monitors use alt DisplayPort for video out, but there are a few that wrap the video in thunderbolt 3.

Do you happen to have a MacBook nearby? Curious what resolutions it supports, specifically with a program like switchresx

Its the best 120hz "monitor" you can buy. Exceptionally low ghosting / response time, no overdrive. You could maybe argue a 240hz+ monitor is better for hardcore competitive gaming, but I won't make that argument.

The problem is OLED picture is so much better than everything else I can almost justify just buying a new one every 2 years.

I have no evidence, but I expect the 42" to sell for the same price as the 48". LG has no competition in the market for that size and quality, I am not convinced they wont squeeze out as much profit as they can.

It works fine with the 4k downsample. PS5 sends out the signal at 4k no issues. It looks fine. You cannot notice any downscaling artifacts or the like. If you can deal with IPS black levels (which I thought I could, but apparently cannot anymore) you will love the monitor.

Literally instant buy. Hell Ill drive down to the docks to pick it up from the container ship myself and tip the crew $20 each.

Just got mine! I am coming from a LG CX 48" (it was just too large...) and first impressions are: Man this is a downgrade. You get so used to OLED you forget just how great it looks. But it was too big, so it is what it is. I was initially afraid that this monitor would be too large and was...

Do you have a Costco nearby? This is a good UltraWide under $500: https://www.costco.com/lg-34%22-class-ultrawide-wqhd-hdr10-ips-monitor.product.100571108.html

Do any monitors just push the video signal through the 40gbps thunderbolt? I actually thought it was always DisplayPort alt-mode.

Can anyone with this monitor confirm if it accepts a 4k input and downsamples the image (such as, a PS5 can be hooked into it and it will accept the PS5 4k image and downsample to screen res)? I read the manual on the LG website and it seemed to imply it could do this, however am looking for a...

Can anyone confirm this monitor does not support 4k downsample? IE I plug in a PS5, it will not accept a 4k signal from the PS5 and internally sample it to a resolution that works? The LG does this, so that's a point against this for me if so.

It will entirely depend on the resolution you are trying to drive. You will be limited by the HDMI 2.0 spec. At native resolution you will only have 60hz, yes. If you reduce the resolution to 3440x1440 you can get up to 110hz.

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is the difference between this and 38GL950? it seems that while this lacks the gsync model, it gains: HDR 600 Usb-C PD and native MacBook support. which is rather have than the module anyway.
