    hope to see that budget Rapid VA next. MSI MAG 27CQ6PF. :D
  • @GeordiLaForgery
    Enjoying these oled reviews, especially the effort you put into text clarity comparison, OSD menu and min brightness. Hopefully they'll be affordable for majority someday soon. P.S nice small stand, other manufacturers take note!
  • @Dragonytez
    thanks for showing the dimming with peak brightness!
  • @j3m638
    Good morning from here in NZ bud. I hope you & the fam are keeping well! I'm happy enough with my 32 inch/240Hertz Samsung Odyssey for the time being, But some of these OLED's are really impressive. Thanks for another excellent heads up review!
  • Thx for the review! I‘ll probably wait for 27“ 4K WOLED. LG Display is supposed to start production at the end of next year. So in two years it could be avaiable. 32“ are to big for my desk and I got so used to 27“ 4K with my Sony Inzone M9. I stick with it. I only do console gaming and office work on the monitor. Also got a LG C1 65“ OLED TV. So I‘m fine. Hopefully 😅
  • @wesleymofo
    nice video! have u ever dealt with ANY kind of vertical banding on this monitor?
  • @juanblanco7898
    Aw yiss! I've been waiting for these new OLEDs to get featured on your channel. Thank you! May I ask about the tools and methodology you employ to test input latency?
  • @Alex-qg5dk
    Do you recommand msi 271qrx over the aorus fo27q3? Which is better?
  • @stitchyrichie
    Is there any way where u can make the monitor go down to eye level ?
  • @AG_Da_Gamer
    I got the MAG271QPX great monitor even without firmware updates dont see no issues so far
  • @h7142R
    Sir, have you reviewed the TUF Gaming VG249QM1A Gaming Monitor? I want to know your opinion about the monitor sir
  • @taskmaster5437
    I got the FO32U2P cuz none of the other 4k/240 Hz panels were available other than the Alienware 😭
  • @bergdk237
    I'm still waiting for a 24 inch 240/360hz - 1440p QLED/OLED/IPS monitor, And a affordable pricetag to go along with it
  • @Stoogie
    i cant use oled due to PWM oled flicker sensitivity which 10% of people have, the pulse x modulation must not enter the high area in the iee standard for example 240/360hz x 10-20 modulation, until they create 3000+ pwm, or BOE 1920+ then i cant use them due to migraines and eye pain
