I looked around for this issue and it seems like it is something that progressively gets worst based on this Reddit post. People with the 27 inch are also experiencing this. Yes maybe it can be fixed with a firmware update but I'm not sure if I want to count on it happening.
"Value" varies from person to person. You see the value in the Gsync module and DC backlight, I don't. Yes it has a short lifespan and that's kinda a moot point. I'm just gonna use it for a year or two then upgrade to something better.
If you think the Asus is far above and beyond that's fine I'm not here to change your mind. But it's not like the Asus is endgame or anything. Can it do 10,000 nits? Does it have 100% Rec.2020 or whatever? So even the Asus is just another stopgap to the next best thing anyway and I'm not willing...
PG32UQX is a great monitor but it's still not perfect in the end. Something better will eventually land and I'd rather just buy a cheaper monitor for 1/3 the price but offer 90% the performance to hold me over which is what the 32M2V is. Seems like he's having a hard time understanding that...
Yeah it's pretty good for what it is so for anyone who wants that balance the X32 FP still looks like the best choice atm, it just needs to come down in price. I still love me some good motion clarity but after thinking about it for some time that X32 FP isn't going to be competing with monitors...
It was through Windows HDR Calibration tool. I'm not sure how accurate that is but it seems to be a good ballpark because my CX will clip at 750 nits and that is typically the peak brightness of those OLEDs. The X32 FP did not clip until 1280 nits.
So I decided to order the InnoCN 32M2V. Will probably return the X32 FP because man the price difference is just way too big to ignore now that I've had some time to think it over. Yeah the InnoCN will be slower but it doesn't seem to be as slow as the PG32UQX based on the pursuit photos, but...
My phone cannot do ISO 6400, only 3200. And going to 1/4000 shutter it's so dark I can hardly even see anything. Here's the same picture with ISO 3200 1/3000 shutter speed.
It doesn't seem to unfortunately. I set the picture mode to Standard and disabled AutoHDR in Windows. Firing up an HDR game, the game doesn't recognize the monitor as being HDR capable and will stick to SDR. As I mentioned though there isn't much drawback to just permanently leaving Windows HDR...
Like I said I haven't seen firmware issues....yet. If I do encounter stuff like in those videos then this monitor is going straight back. Yes it's not the brightest monitor but I'm seeking a balance between HDR performance and speed. My LG CX may have the speed but HDR performance by 2023's...
Ok so after spending a few hours gaming on the X32 FP here's my initial thoughts, feel free to ask questions and I'll do my best to answer them but keep in mind I'm no professional monitor reviewer like RTings or MonitorsUnboxed:
Motion clarity is great. They fixed the massive overshoot problem...
My local Microcenter says it has 1 Acer X32 FP in stock so I decided to place an order for it. Will go pick it up tomorrow and see how it does against my X27. Don't know why it says UHD 3440x1440 though lol.
Review of the 32M2V in Japanese: https://chimolog-co.translate.goog/bto-gaming-monitor-innocn-32m2v/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Couple of dealbreakers with it:
The Acer X32 FP might end up being the better choice then since it's the only 32" FALD IPS so far that...
That INNOCN monitor really has the potential to change all that. Here's a review of the 27 inch version in Japanese: https://chimolog.co/bto-gaming-monitor-innocn-27m2v/
TDLR: It strikes a good balance between speed with it's fast IPS panel, HDR performance with 1152 dimming zones, and price...

Stumbled upon this while checking out r/monitors earlier. Looks interesting but I have no idea who INNOCN is or how good/bad this thing is or will be. I'll try to find out more googling around. If it becomes available and at $999 or...
PG27UQ/X27 really were future proof monitors, I have zero regrets buying one at launch and holding onto it to this day. Honestly if the X32 FP has all it's issues fixed then I will just get one if it ever drops to that $999 price point since it does improve upon the X27 in every metric (576...
I believe the real scene brightness is dimmer vs test patterns but I don't own the monitor so I can't give proper input on that. Anyways I also find it both hilarious and sad that here we are in 2023 and are looking forward to a monitor that was announced 3 years ago at CES 2020. The mini LED...
4090 is an incredible performance uplift even over the 30 series! Sadly I don't think Nvidia will be able to pull this off again going from the 4090 to 5090.
The Acer X32 FP has been discussed here already. There is a review of it in Japanese as well some user experiences of it on Reddit:

During the previous gen of the 6900 XT Vs RTX 3090 where the latter was not even 10% faster on average and ray tracing had yet to be a major selling point in games, spending the extra $500 to upgrade wouldn't have been worth it. I would say this time around the story is different in that the...
Yeah I'd say the general rule of thumb that LCD's need roughly 1.5x the Hz to match OLED clarity is about right. Here's the Samsung Neo G7 at 165Hz vs the LG C2 at 120Hz and although the G7 does win out, I would say it isn't by much and certainly not a day and night difference. Slower LCD's...
120Hz OLEDs won't be competing with the fastest 240Hz/360Hz/500Hz LCD monitors in terms of motion clarity unless you use BFI at 120Hz which is the other way to mitigate blur besides increasing the Hz. Problem with that is only the LG CX and C1 have 120Hz BFI, the C2 removed it and all OLED...
Right. When it comes to OLEDs though these are plenty fast that they will be able to take advantage of any extra Hz probably all the way up to that 1000Hz mark unlike LCDs which will have problems with response times as you go higher and higher Hz. 120Hz OLED is great but when I also had a...
I agree but just give me 240Hz instead of 120Hz. The whole 1000Hz thing seems like a neat idea but it's only going to be achieved through fake frames whereas 240fps can be realistically obtained without any interpolation/amplification trickery. I'm still interested to see how it looks in person...
It sucks that things move so slowly but on the bright side I guess it means display purchases will last much longer. I'm still using an Acer X27 from 2018 and an LG CX from 2020 and I'm 99% sure I won't be upgrading either of them this year yet again. This is the longest I've ever had my monitor...
Just got this firmware update last night. It's great that LG has continued to give the CX support to this day but I think at this point we should expect nothing major with any future firmware updates. Most of the big issues were already fixed within the first few months anyway which is already...
Not really. The Samsung Neo G8 exists and went on sale for $1000 not too long ago. Not sure how much an "OLED tax" would add on but I don't think it would be too much more.
Youtuber Dawid also mentions that the AR coating on the 27" 240Hz OLED is also disgustingly "too matte". Seems like these 240Hz LG WRGB panels went for a heavier matte coating compared to the Asus PG42UQ.
2 years also isn't very long when we are talking displays that start at nearly 4 figures and can go well past that. I'm sure most people dropping that kinda money would want their display to last a while, maybe 5+ years. We know that the CX holds up well after 2 years of heavy office use but...
I would also be willing to upgrade if we got a significant boost to brightness/color saturation like say a 1000 nits QD-OLED at 49" or an 48" LG G3 with heatsink + MLA tech to push 1200+ nits given the larger sizes are capable of 1600 at D65 whitepoint. Unfortunately we got neither of those...
