Welcome back Kramnelis ;) We missed you!

I have had the Acer X27 since inception (2018) and have it alongside my XG321UG. Only 384 zones but I still use it about 50% of the time (mostly for browsing/productivity while I game on the larger display) because the larger display can be too big for productivity for me. I am still astounded...

So the X27 had a fan and I was able to enter the service menu and lower the fan speeds significantly such that it was not audible. The temps were ok as well from what I remember. Likely you can do the same with the ASUS but not 100% sure. However, since yours is still under warranty that is the...

I compared an XG321UG to the AW32 OLED side-by-side. Check out this thread here: https://hardforum.com/threads/alienware-aw3225qf-32-4k-240-hz-oled.2032779/page-3#post-1045825212 After having used the AW now for almost a month with the XG I can confidently say the XG is superior in HDR and the...

Supposedly QD-OLED is supposed to mitigate this when compared to WOLED (white boost pixel) according to this blog article by Samsung itself. Kinda interesting read. How much of it is marketing hype? Probably some...

Yes you’re correct. My memory has failed me in my old age! (Made correction to original post above).

I don’t. When I first started up the monitor Windows recorded it as 8-bit. But then when I booted up later it stated 10-bit (before I posted above) so I may be wrong…I could not find the answer on Dell site. I know for sure however the previous AW34 was an 8-bit+FRC. The monitor comes factory...

No fan I can hear. I got mine yesterday. Side-by-side with my XG321UG. Preliminary thoughts after several hours testing: — General: 1. No fan noise audible so far. 2. Curve is very slight but it’s there. If you don’t like curved monitors (like me) it might be a turn-off, but it could be...

I would argue the only thing OLED does better than mini-LED is motion and lack of any haloes. Everything else a well dialed-in mini-LED does better: better brightness in simple test patters and complex imagery where average brightness is more important than just a highlight, and from this...

World’s first 5088 mini-LED partition by Redmagic. Review by Snowman. Summary: haloing appears to be improved, color gamut could be better, uniformity average. Response time avg. brightness high but has some ABL. worth a watch. Appears to be an AUO panel? I didn’t see this on any roadmap...

Agree. It is like buying a Porsche or Ferrari engine and chassis but then putting on cheap tires. The only part that contacts the road: “where the rubber meets the pavement” so to speak.

I have both (a 32 inch and 27 inch FALD). I bought my 32 inch to replace my 27 inch for gaming and general /work use, but I work at an office so mostly for the first two. A 32 inch is enormous compared to the 27 inch sitting on your desk: I had to adjust to the size and honestly sit further...

THIS is exactly right. The smaller the size, the harder it is to brighten because they use something called MICRO LENS ARRAYS. These are essentially small lenses that magnify brightness between pixels? Sorry, I don’t have an engineering background, but the assumption it is tricky to make them...

The biggest thing is the XG321UG either has passive cooling or a silent fan as there is no fan noise. It also has a more professional and less gamey look if that’s important to you. The PG32UQX had an audible fan, but some say the more recent models fans have quieted down a bit. Also the PG...

I had owned both at one time (though I have XG321UG- same panel as PG). I echo Bigmonitor above. One really big consideration is if you are going to be watching much media or console then PG all the way as the black bars on side and 1440p resolution was what ultimately had me return the OLED.
