To me, this video feels extremely low-effort. For a typical user, simply stating which HDMI version a monitor supports is not very useful on its own.
The relevant question is what that means in practice. Can the monitor actually use its full capabilities through its HDMI port, or is it limited in some way..
That would be the useful information. Instead, this mostly comes across as reading the spec sheets without explaining the practical implications. I don't need a YT video for that.

I had the AW3423DWF & AW3225QF since its release and loved these 2 oled monitors. Never had an issue with the 34DWF but this have a defect on the 32QF, but their warranty process is so clutch, they sent me a new one right away. Now I pair these 2 and its such an amazing setup. You guys cant go wrong with either of the 2!

Any thoughts on the $140 " LGLO M-27 Z1A1" ? Viewedge - 24 Inch Gaming Monitor 4K 60hz? Why is it so inexpensive compared to all the models you showed?

BTW, I have an old laptop , but i understand the GPU can output compressed dual 4K video (3840×2160 at 60 Hz) via USB3 to a Docking Station DL-6950 (ex.WAVLINK WL‑UG69DK1 , Plugable UD‑6950). Would love to find two 4K monitors to replace my two 19" 2K monitors! crua CR320QC?

Hello... In your opinion, for playing story-driven games (some with HDR and others without) and occasionally FPS games like CS2, what is currently the best dual-mode OLED monitor available for achieving the best possible image quality?

I recently bought an LG UltraGear OLED 32GS95UV-B, but after only 2 days a vertical line appeared on the screen (barely noticeable), and I’ll probably end up returning it. Now I’m a bit worried about buying another one and running into the same issue again.

I’d really appreciate your help.

Sorry if this isn’t helpful for anyone, but last year I got the ASUS ROG Swift 34” curved 3440x1440 240hz OLED, and the only reason I bought it was because the 4k OLEDs were brand new, and very out of stuck. I used that monitor for about six months and was able to get my hands on a 32” 4k 240hz OLED from LG, and I MUCH prefer the colors of my LG. The ASUS colors are a bit too much. Not sure if that’s the case for all ASUS and LG panels, but just be aware that the colors are…. a lot, on the ASUS. Hoping this LG panel lasts me a while because I absolutely love it. I’ve tried to go back to the ASUS monitor several times and I really don’t care for how saturated the colors are.

To those of you eyeing the XG32UCWMG, I went through 6 of these new through my microcenter. 3 had dead pixels, banding lottery is insane. Blue tint on the side is pretty bad and overall QC is terrible. I don’t plane asus but LG’s panel. Some are worse some are better but all of them will have it. At $950+ new, I got tired of returning it etc and just bought the PG32UCDM3

2026 4K OLED Monitor Buying Guide - ASUS, LG, MSI, & Gigabyte

If your looking for a new 4K OLED monitor to buy this year, this video is for you. I break down the best 4K QD OLED & WOLED Monitors in the 42", 32", & 27" sizes in the enthusiast range down to more budget models including monitors from ASUS, MSI, & Gigabte.

What are you even linking for the PG32UCDM3? It’s never been available on Amazon and definitely not at best buy lol only place to buy it is new egg and ASUS website

Intro - 0:00

Enthusiast Monitors - 0:18

Buying guides like this are genuinely useful right now because the 4K OLED market has moved so fast in the last 12 months that a lot of older recommendations are already outdated. Anyone picking up one of the panels featured here should do a proper black level and uniformity check before the return window closes. We put together free screen test utilities specifically for OLED if anyone needs them.

I think if you have the space, getting a pulsar monitor for competitive and a small OLED TV for single player HDR might be a better overall experience for almost the same price. These 4k Oled monitors are good but they don't really excel at anything.

Why 4k? the mayority of gamers have a Nvidia´s 60 series, 70 series, for 4k you need at least a 4090, 5080 or 5090, and those are super expensives.
