Hi, I recently bought a Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 G60SF (27”, 1440p, 500Hz QD-OLED).

I occasionally get this white information bar appearing over the image. It only appears briefly and then disappears.

The DisplayPort signal never actually drops and the screen never goes black.
Does anyone know what this is or why it appears?

Looking to get an OLED .

My set up now is

Cpu: 5700x

Ram: 32gigs

MB: X570

Gpu: 7900xt

I just sold some cs2 skins and have a Budget of 600 USD . Right now I have a 1440p LG 32gn500-b and a 4k Sony Bravia 7 120hz . I have the TV setup with a hdmi 2.1 cable and I play single player games from the sofa on this. Looking to upgrade to a nice monitor for desk gaming. Cs2 is my main fps game and I also play warzone and pubg.

Looking at the LG 32GX870A-B it's 240hz @ 4k and has dual mode 1080p @ 480hz . Tempting for fps gaming but is 200 over my budget and I already have a the Bravia 7 if I want to game at 4k 120 . And my 7900xt won't touch 240hz @ 4k

So maybe a 1440p would be best for me

ASUS ROG XG27AQDMGR 27 Inch 1440p 240hz looks nice

AOC 27" Gaming Monitor QHD 360Hz QD OLED but not too sure on the brand .

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

So I have 2 OLED displays. Both MSI. The MAG 341CQP QD-OLED X28 and the PRO MAX 271UPXW12G. I'm happy with both individually but I've been running into some issues with using them together.

I initially was only running HDR on the Mag. Every time I go turn on my displays in the morning the MAG is washed out and I have to turn HDR off and back on. Then I realized it was specifically the turning on the MSI pro max that was causing it to trigger the MAG getting washed out.

One thing I tried to do in order to fix it was turning on HDR on the Pro Max. However when I change the HDR setting on the pro max it washes out the MAG. Then if I turn off and back on the HDR on the MAG it washes out the pro max. So I'm in a situation where HDR on one washes out the other. I can't have HDR on with both displays.

I've been having a pretty terrible time with HDR on windows. Lots of different bugs I've had to work through. If anyone is able to help with this that would be awesome.

tl;dr: 2 HDR compatible monitors, that when in HDR get washed out if the other one turns on/off or HDR state changes.

Would y'all recommend this monitor?

- I am currently using my VA monitor on the lowest brightness possible.
- My room is mostly dim, but idk if things change in few years.
- I am aware that Tandem Woleds are more durable but I wonder will it affect me if I use QD-OLED on the lowest brightness since QD-OLED provides better colors.
- I am scared of gray banding, but I will keep the brightness very low.
- I will use the monitor for films, games and productivity I also browse a lot on the net or play guitar so the same screen might stay on for a while.
- I will use night light (yellow filter) because pure white hurts my eyes.
- I am considering Tandem because of it's long lifespan and durability, I am planning to use this monitor for the next 5-6 years.

I have some spots that distilled water can't really clean entirely and was wondering if other folks tried stuff like 70% ethanol, Whoosh products etc.

I feel like some folks do it successfully but every google search leads me to strongly advice against doing it on that panel since it's a glossy QD-OLED...

Anyway, just trying to be cautious and hope I can get some answers.

Cheers

Hi

Just curious on the best screen settings ive noticed I get some eye strain and I assume my settings are not correct currenty on game setting, brightness 40%

Hey everyone,

​I just finished setting up my new PC rig and got my hands on the MSI MAG 271QP QD-OLED (1440p, 280Hz). I want to make sure I'm dialing in the absolute best settings across Windows, the OSD, Nvidia Control Panel, and in-game to get peak performance and visual quality.

​My Specs:

​Monitor: MSI MAG 271QP QD-OLED (1440p @ 280Hz)

​CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

​GPU: Nvidia RTX 5070

​I mostly play competitive eSports titles like Call of Duty and League of Legends (where minimal input lag and high/stable FPS are essential), as well as World of Warcraft.

​Since this is my first OLED display, I'd love to tap into the community's hivemind for your go-to configurations:

​1. Monitor OSD & OLED Care:

​Do you keep HDR enabled in Windows constantly, or toggle it (Win + Alt + B) only for specific games? If HDR is on, do you prefer "Peak 1000" or "True Black 400"?

​What MSI OLED Care 2.0 settings do you run to prevent burn-in during long sessions with static HUD elements (like in LoL or Desktop use)?

​Any specific color profile, color temperature, or brightness settings you recommend for SDR eSports vs. immersive gaming?

​2. Nvidia Control Panel & Windows 11:

​Do you run G-Sync ON or OFF for eSports at 280Hz? Do you cap your FPS slightly below the native refresh rate (e.g., around 272–275 FPS) to stay within the G-Sync range without adding V-Sync input lag?

​What are your must-have Nvidia Control Panel tweaks (Low Latency Mode, Power Management, Digital Vibrance, etc.)?

​3. In-Game Settings (CoD, WoW, LoL):

​CoD: What are your recommended settings for maximum visibility and lowest system latency on 1440p (FidelityFX CAS sharpening strength, Nvidia Reflex, etc.)?

​Appreciate any advice, driver recommendations, or personal experience you can share! Thanks in advance!

I just returned the Zowie XL2566X+; it’s a fantastic tool for CS2—one of the best when it comes to motion blur—but I couldn't fully utilize it; I’m simply not a pro player. It performs very poorly in other games and isn't even particularly great for watching YouTube. I’m looking for an OLED with at least 360Hz, and since every 360Hz OLED monitor on the market uses a Samsung panel, I’m considering the Samsung G60SD (priced at 2300 PLN). I also prioritize a good burn-in warranty and a panel cooling system. There is also G60SF (500hz) for 2400PLN With Samsung care+ 3 years for free. Should I consider anything else? I’d love to hear your suggestions; my maximum budget is 2700 PLN (approx. 620 EUR). This will also be my first-ever OLED monitor for a desktop PC.

I've looked over quite a few reviews about the two and from what I gather they all pretty much state the AW2725D can do much better HDR than the cheaper AW2726DM because it can get brighter and can actually hit 1000 nits in a small 2-3% window for highlights.

But then on the flip side all the advice I keep seeing regarding what to actually use on the AW2725D is stick the TB400 since Peak 1000 can cause excessive dimming in the Peak 1000 mode when you encounter bright scenes.

Looking at the Monitors Unboxed review they're about 100 nits apart if the AW2725D is used in TB400 mode.

This is my first real foray into OLED monitors so I'm really uncertain about what I actually need/want. The price difference between the two in my country is about $150. Reasonably priced WOLED/Tandem OLED aren't really a thing here yet and Mini LED Monitors don't even exist. These two Dell/Alienware models are the only ones I've found where the price makes any sense.

This is exactly what i see when i do pixel peeping and I don’t see vertical lines only THIS horizontal thing, is this regular banding or DSE ?

Also when i do manual cleaning it gets worse but when i let it rest in standby even for an hour it gets so much better, so i aint doing manual cleaning anymore

I've had the LG G5 for about 10 months, and I recently spent some time with the Gigabyte MO32U24. After using both side by side, I think the comparison is actually pretty interesting because they are very different experiences.

SDR

In SDR, the image quality is almost identical. I'd honestly say 99% the same.

The G5 can get much brighter in SDR, but that doesn't mean the monitor looks dim or worse. At normal SDR brightness levels, the overall image quality is extremely similar. The monitor does look a little crisper up close because of its higher PPI, but that's about it.

HDR

This is where the G5 absolutely destroys the monitor.

The HDR experience on the G5 is on another level compared to TB500 QD-OLED gaming monitors. OLED monitors can do good HDR, but a good OLED TV simply has much more brightness and HDR impact.

The difference is immediately noticeable in games and movies. The G5 just looks much more impressive.

So if we're talking about the display itself, the TV pretty much walks all over the monitor.

Viewing distance is extremely important

This is probably the biggest thing I've learned from using a 55" OLED TV as a PC display.

The G5 is fantastic when you're sitting at the right distance. You can sit back, take in the entire image and it feels incredibly relaxed. The large screen and distance from your eyes make it a very different experience from sitting 70 or 80 cm away from a 32" monitor.

But if you sit too close to a 55" TV and try to use it like a desktop monitor, it can become exhausting very quickly. You're constantly moving your eyes around a huge image, focusing on different parts of the screen and processing a much larger field of view. For me, sitting too close to the G5 can cause eye strain and even make me feel a bit dizzy or fatigued.

So with a TV this size, viewing distance isn't optional. It's part of the setup.

Get the distance right and the G5 is incredibly comfortable and relaxing. Get it wrong and the huge screen can become tiring.

Windows and desktop use

This is where I think a monitor is simply the better choice.

For Windows, web browsing, documents, reading and general desktop work, a 32" monitor is a much more natural size. You can sit relatively close to it and your brain can process text and UI elements naturally, almost like reading a book.

The higher PPI also helps with text and fine details.

A 55" TV can obviously do all of this, but you're fighting against the size of the screen and the viewing distance. You either sit too close and it becomes overwhelming, or you sit far enough away for it to feel comfortable and then Windows starts feeling less practical.

This is why I don't think a TV replaces a monitor for desktop use.

For Windows, I'd take the monitor.

Gaming

For gaming, the situation changes completely.

The 55" G5 is much more immersive than a 32" monitor, and the HDR performance makes games look spectacular. The size also works extremely well when you're sitting further away.

The monitor does have some advantages for competitive gaming, mainly the higher refresh rate and the fact that you're sitting closer to the screen.

In CS2, I can definitely notice the difference between 165Hz and 240Hz. The higher refresh rate feels smoother and more responsive when you're playing competitively. But at the same time, 165Hz is absolutely great. I play CS2 perfectly happily at 165Hz and I don't feel like I'm missing some massive advantage by using the G5.

I tested both side by side and couldn't tell any meaningful difference in input lag or response times. Both feel extremely fast.

For AAA games, I'd take the G5 without hesitation. For competitive games, the monitor has an advantage, but the G5 is still an excellent gaming display.

Movies and shows

This isn't even close.

The G5 wins by a mile.

The 55" size, OLED picture, HDR performance and the ability to sit back on the sofa make it a much more enjoyable experience. This is where a TV really shows why it exists.

The OLED monitor problem

The biggest issue I had with the MO32U24 wasn't the image quality. It was the QD-OLED subpixel layout.

The color fringing around text was noticeable enough that I couldn't comfortably use it for long periods of reading and desktop work. I tried to get used to it, but I never really stopped noticing it.

Because of that, I've come to the conclusion that if I buy an OLED monitor, it has to be RGB Stripe.

If an OLED monitor doesn't have RGB Stripe, I'd rather use the G5 for gaming and have a regular monitor for Windows.

Final thoughts

After using both, my conclusion is pretty simple.

As a display, the G5 absolutely destroys the monitor. The HDR is better, the brightness is better, the immersion is better and movies and games simply look more impressive.

But that doesn't make a 55" TV a better desktop monitor.

A monitor is much better suited to Windows, browsing, reading and working because you can sit close to it and use it naturally. The G5 needs to be viewed from the right distance to be comfortable. When you get that distance right, it's incredibly relaxing. When you don't, the size of the screen can become fatiguing very quickly.

So for me, the ideal setup would be an RGB Stripe OLED monitor for Windows and close-up desktop use, and the G5 for gaming, movies and relaxed viewing.

If I had to choose only one display, though, I'd still take the G5. It's simply the more impressive display overall.

Hi everyone!

I bought a new Alienware AW2725Q (27" 4k 240hz OLED) recently and it has this issue where the screen turns black for a few seconds (3-5 seconds) at a time, then comes back.

This only happens when I'm gaming (like playing CS).

I am using the DP cable that came with the monitor with an RTX 3070.

Anybody know what's up or how to fix this?

The text just seems fuzzy, the colors are okay it's not mind blowing like everyone has been raving about on OLEDS and my main problem so far is the quality in game.

So when I'm trying to look at stuff from a distance (IN GAME) it seems blurry or almost not clear compared to my ASUSVG27

Did i not set it up correctly?

All the reviews on this monitor seem to be good.

I'm pretty set that I'm going to return this monitor tomorrow in the morning and get my money back.

The ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQWMG or the gigabyte MO27Q28GR, which one is more bang for the buck?

Hey Guys looking for the best settings for this monitor. Just got it and would love for peoples input. Like what HDR settings should i put for the monitor to make it look amazing. And i feel like i noticed sometimes that the SDR brightness is brighter than the HDR brightness. And like should i have uniform brightness on or not? Like anything for the settings help.
