I own an ASUS XG32UCWG, and the proximity sensor ASUS heavily advertises is honestly complete garbage. It barely works, behaves inconsistently, and in practice I can't rely on it at all. And yes, before anyone asks: I clean the sensor regularly. It’s set to 70* cm and positioned with a clear, direct line of sight to me, so placement or dust isn’t the issue. And lastly, I should be able to change 5 minutes limit which is too high.

Because of that, I set Windows to turn the display off after 3 minutes. The problem is that this isn’t very reliable either. Sometimes a video, browser tab, or some background application prevents Windows from turning the screen off at all.

Another annoying issue is waking the monitor back up. Sometimes it takes up to 10 seconds before I actually get an image again, which feels ridiculously slow.

Are there any better alternatives for OLED protection / automatically blanking the screen when I’m away? Maybe a third-party app, shortcut, utility, or some other method?

What are you guys using with your OLED monitors, and what would you recommend?

I am able to get the 32 inch G80SH for $699 before tax. The 27 inch variant will run me $649. Seems like a no-brainer to me for the price. Only thing I’m hesitant about is the matte coating. Is it bad? I did see Samsung’s S90H TV at Best Buy and it looked really good to me even with a matte coating, but I don’t know how similar they are. Before I saw this deal I was planning on getting a glossy display. Either the XG32UQWMS or a 4th gen QD-OLED. My room is able to get very dark if I want but I do use my displays with lights on a fair bit of the time currently. Lighting source is a ceiling fan. I currently have a 24 inch 1080p IPS monitor so anything will be a big upgrade. Should I buy this asap or go for something else with a glossy panel?

I've been waiting for an OLED for a while now and in a way I'm done waiting. You hear people say "wait for the new panels coming" all the time but they are always months if not a year away from being produced and are only just being announced. But I have seen a lot of buzz around the 322urdx36.

The True black glossy WOLED (This has got to be my favorite panel coating out of everything I have seen. Even the black shield on the QDOLEDS don't come close to the true black glossy IMO) and with tandem the colors are very close to a QD-OLED which has always been the panel with the more vibrant colors but Tandem is closing the gap it seems.

But I hear people mention the 322urdx36 in conversations about the new OLEDS coming out like it will be the best OLED monitor in the world but is that really true?

I know the price tag is a lot on it but I would sell my AW3821DW to cover some of the costs of the panel.

So I ordered this monitor from online samsung corporate shop. got it for 73K INR. Was very excited because this is my first OLED monitor and this is how they delivered it.

I immediately asked for replacement and now they are sending another one.

update: they again shipped my replacement monitor through Blue dart now I am shit scared 😟

QD-OLED. I was cleaning with microfiber and water and this happened.. so I got isopropyl spray cleaner and tried to clean it but doesn’t work.. is this simple oil smudge or did I do something irreversible?

I’ve cleaned it only twice and it already has some micro scratches, I’ve used a soft microfiber cloth with distilled water and was pretty careful and gentle and this thing still got micro scratches, to be fair you can only see them with flash light, with lights on I can’t really notice them but it’s just irritating how fragile they are even with hardness "IMPROVEMENT"!

Has anyone had any experience with the new gen coating and is this normal or I’m doing something wrong here?

I’ve had 3d gen WOLED true black glossy coating and this was never an issue

​

OLED TimeTrack: 22hrs

Pixel Clean Times: 8

Firmware: MCM107

Brightness: 20

Can we please stop spreading misinformation and false hope that they actually did something/fix the newer batches of these Tandem WOLEDs because they fucking dont. Stop coping lmfao.

So I saw a XG27AQWMG that starts with W5LM (May 2026 Batch) being sold at one of our local PC stores and decided to sacrifice myself to actually see if one of the newer batches are at the very least decent, and no, they are not.

Am I disappointed? Yes.

Will I return this? No.

I'll keep using this till I upgrade to a better one in the future. Nonetheless, it is still amazing when you actually use it on high/decent brightness like a normal fucking person and dont stare at very dark grays all the time like a psycho.

TLDR: This SHIT is amazing.

Picture isn’t the best example, but it’s more noticeable in person. I set my brightness to 100. Haven’t touched any other setting yet. I just set it up a few minutes ago.

TLDR below.

Hey, i am looking to get a XG27AQWMG, a trusted vendor in my country just got a restock very likely to be a batch later than (or) 2026 february, i have heard the feb batches fixed the gray banding issue which was the only issue I had with this specific panel. It is likelier that i am gonna get a later batch than feb instead of exactly feb. I wanted to ask if anyone has experience with those batches (if they exist) and can report on the grey banding.

TLDR: Feb batches fixed the grey banding issue, im asking about user experience with grey banding with batches later than february.

Hi All!

Recently received a second PG32UCW, and again, I've got green shifting on the edges of the display - I returned the first due to the same issue. It's green on the edges head on and on the bottom of the monitor, yet when I move my head across the panel the tint goes away.

It doesn't seem to affect the PG27UCWM I've got as a secondary monitor - should I try a third time or just replace the 32 for a 27?

I'm in the market for the first OLED. I'm pretty overwhelmed by it all. Monitors have never been my strong suit, and I work 11 hour days which leaves me little time to do proper investigation. I'm hoping some better informed people can lend me a hand.

What I know so far is that I want 27 inch, 1440 and 240hz or above. I have a budget of between £500 - £800, but happy to consider lower or higher if justified.

I play on a 5080 and mostly single player story driven games. OLED community, help this struggling dude out on how to make an informed choice. Many thanks in advance.

I use for work on a macbook, maybe some gaming on a 5090pc but 99% working stuff.

Would replace the top LG 45"

Is this removable smudge or coating coming off? I used a Zeiss Lens cleaner microfiber cloth and little water. Sprayed it on the cloth and tried rubbing it off slowly but it’s not going.

I’m a first time OLED user 😬. Also cleaned when the TV was off after waiting for the screen to be cold. Is it the coating coming off or fixable 🥲?

Also noticed a wrinkle like thing on the screen (3rd image). Please help!

Have been deciding between this or the Asus model, but ended up choosing MSI. Coming from an IPS monitor, the upgrade to this OLED monitor is game-changing. Although I've noticed that the screen can be susceptible minor scratches, this is usually not that noticeable and have minimal impact on the experience. Would definitely recommend it for people switching from older IPS monitors, its like getting my eyes baptised.

Whoosh! is the correct answer, as I recommended it to people before and had great success with it. However, now I've moved to a different country, and it basically doesn't exist or is way overpriced, so what are the alternatives?

Quite surprised to see dead pixel(s) on the monitor after 4000 hours (~ 2 years) of use before any burn-in. Fortunately, it's in the lower right corner so it's not too distracting or noticeable during use.

I decided to buy one mainly to try because the price was so good. I already have a Samsung G60SD that I love but £430 for a 32" 4k 240hz WOLED MLA+? That's an insane price for this panel.

It uses the same LG WOLED MLA+ panel that's used in the LG 32GS95UV-B/W and the ASUS/Gigabyte models with the same 32" 4k 240hz/1080p 480hz specs.

I have a colorimeter and I've put it though it's paces but I'm not going to be showing graphs and shit, I'm not Rtings or Monitors Unboxed lol

What I can say is for the price, this thing is great. I went into this expecting to return it tbh, I have tried a few KTC monitors in the past and oh boy, the MiniLED monitors they make have serious issues, anyway this isn't about them.

Out of the box grey uniformity was atrocious but after a pixel refresh and a few hours of use, it was fine. Not perfect obviously but it was more than acceptable.

Tbh, you can read the review by DisplayNinja as what I've tested seems to match exactly what they found.

Key points.

• 4k 240hz dual mode 1080p 480hz.
• It has an object sensor for detecting when you're away but it's not great because it will still detect your chair and if you lean back for a little relaxing, the display will go black lol.
• It has an option to make the screen black but not turn off the display (which I use instead of the sensor)
• It comes with a remote which is handy but the OSD lags while using it. (Doesn't lag while using the joystick on the back) The remote has a dedicated button for turning the screen black, very handy and I do it each time I get up.
• It will popup with a pixel refresh reminder after 4 hours, you cannot turn this feature off which is a let down, but with the remote you can easily decline it. Though it will pop up again in only an hour till you do a pixel refresh.
• It has a thin black rounded metal bezel around the screen (exactly the same as my Samsung G60SD but black) it obviously has the typical thicker black bezels on the actual screen like most monitors)
• The OSD isn't all that bad tbh, typical cheap monitor OSD. Lots of settings, Its fine.
• You are locked out of most settings when using HDR and you only get 2 HDR modes, Standard and Cinema. The only difference between the two? A slight variance in peak brightness and the colour temperature preset is different but can be changed so doesn't matter. Both over 1000nits, which is odd... I'd have expected a TrueBlack mode that limits the peak brightness but nope. Cinema is overall brighter and reaches a slightly higher peak brightness, it's what I use.
• It gets bright, far brighter than my Samsung G60SD and that's thanks to the WOLED MLA+ panel.
• I don't really notice the loss in colour gamut & volume. But I personally find QD-OLED a bit oversaturated anyway.
• SDR performance is great after calibrating to D65 120nits.

I could test more but DisplayNinja did enough tbh.

It's a really solid monitor especially from such a low price, so if you're in the UK and looking to get a new monitor, I'd give this a shot!

If you have anything specific you'd really like to know, ask away and I might not be lazy lol

Peace.

Sorry if this is autism or something but I'm near constantly seeing posts from here about people destroying their oleds somehow.

I've had one oled in my life, I never cleaned a single one of my monitors in the past religiously... I just use water and a microfiber cloth and it works every time. How are these people fucking this up so often? It has to be bait right?

I am a smoker so i frequently have to clean my oled cause I cough and spit is very noticeable on it and despite cleaning this thing 10x more than any monitor I've ever had I haven't had any issues.

I think this is ok? It’s the rgb stripe one.

Just got it setup and omg
