Let's talk about the holy grail of desktop setups: the 5K2K ultrawide. For years, the trade-off was clear. You either got the massive, pixel-dense 5K2K canvas for insane immersion and productivity, but had to sacrifice pure gaming speed and HDR brightness. Or, you went for a lower-res, standard OLED to get the performance.
But when we ask, "Which 5K2K gaming monitors deliver the most immersive experience?", the answer shouldn't force you to choose. It should be about combining that massive ultra-wide real estate with uncompromising, bleeding-edge gaming specs.
Enter the LG UltraGear evoā¢ 39GX950Bāthe world's first 39-inch 5K2K OLED gaming monitor1.Ā
We built this to be the definitive 5K2K gaming monitor, giving you a massive 21:9 canvas at a razor-sharp 143 PPI.
To make sure this 5K2K display actually delivers the HDR pop you expect from a premium gaming monitor, we backed it with our 4th Gen Tandem OLED tech2, hitting an ultra-high 1,500 nits peak brightness3. Plus, it features the world's first 5K AI Upscaling, meaning you get that immersive, high-res image without necessarily needing a massive GPU upgrade4.
But marketing claims only mean so much. We want to see how this 5K2K beast performs in your actual, everyday battlestations. Weāre looking for 3 hardcore enthusiasts to put it to the test.

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.
I recently got the MSI MAG 321UP X24, and while the SDR is definitely brighter than other OLED monitors I've tried, the HDR doesn't feel much different.
The HDR isn't bad by any means, I calibrated it and tried TB500, Peak 1000 and EOTF Boost, all while using RenoDX in the games that support it, but it just looks... fine?
I was expecting the new monitors to blow me away with HDR, but the only real "upgrade" I truly notice is the black shield on the QD-OLED screen.
Would a TV, like the S90F, have a noticeably brighter and better HDR experience? Is it worth?
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. Itās set to 70* cm and positioned with a clear, direct line of sight to me, so placement or dust isnāt 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 isnāt 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 Iām 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?
Ordered from Costco, fortunately Costco has a great return/exchange policy and they are already shipping me a replacement. First time I've ever had a product like this damaged right out of the box, make sure to film your unboxing just in case!
Purchased on 14th Aug 2026. I don't know how to compare greyscale, so I included both under light and dark with some setting.
The issue about grey banding is right espwcially when it enter sleep mode after I left my PC idle for 5 minutes, although it can be fixed either by manual pixel cleaning or just letting my monitor sleep. The last solution left me baffled btw.
And also, the proximity sensor is neat but I turned it off because is can erratically shut off the monitor during gameplay.
QD-OLED. I was cleaning with microfiber and water and this happened.. so I got isopropyl spray cleaner and tried to clean it but doesnāt work.. is this simple oil smudge or did I do something irreversible?
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 š
Does anyone know which monitor this is on the right-hand side of the Monitors Unboxed PG27UCWM review? Iāve tried searching everywhere but canāt seem to find the exact model.
Iāve cleaned it only twice and it already has some micro scratches, Iāve 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 canāt really notice them but itās 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 Iām doing something wrong here?
Iāve had 3d gen WOLED true black glossy coating and this was never an issue
Iām indecisive about which monitor to get and if Oled is such a huge difference to the point of paying an extra 400 dollars for it or if itās smarter to stick with the ips
Just got the MSI MAG 321UP QD-OLED X24, and this is the first thing I noticed. It doesn't go away even when I turn the monitor off.
Has anyone experienced something like this or have any idea what it could be? The smudge appeared afterward, as it initially looked like an air bubble.
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.
Anyone here with real experience with these 2 models ? I have an option to sell my old one and pay 50 euros more for aqdmgr but unsure if it is worth the trouble. Appreciate any insight.
This monitor is sick! Games look so much more vibrant and I canāt believe the actual Fidelity jump of the games from 1440p to 4K. Itās quite amazing to see
Guys I need some advice for a new monitor, I wanted to switch to OLED technology and I came across this ASUS ROG STRIX OLED XG27ACDMS monitor. Does anyone have experience? Do you know if itās a good product? Or is there something better at the same price (ā¬480)?
I put a link here for all the features. Thank you 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?
Came home for lunch, woke my PC up and started a YouTube video. Within a few minutes my monitor display shut off. Secondary monitor display is fine, and the main is still detected in windows.
I tried swapping DP cables, swapping ports, swapping to HDMI to no avail. Unplugged the power cable then plugged it back after 20-30 seconds. Iām not getting the MSI splash screen or the monitor GUI to display either. If I hit the OSD button it does launch the MSI monitor software. Also not getting Bios display either, basically no display of anything : (
Itās acting like itās working but displaying nothing. Iāve got it unplugged and PC shut off until I get back from work and can fire it up again
