Published 2024-06-09
ASUS has claimed to have released the “world's first gaming monitor to feature a glossy WOLED display.”, and if you’ve ever seen an LG C series OLED TV, you’ll know they have glossy coatings which not only give excellent clarity and vibrancy, but unlike QD OLED they do not light up magenta when hit with ambient light, but the question is, is this new glossy coating as good as their TVs, is it better than a matte coating, and is the monitor actually any good… Well today we're gonna find out just that, and to do so, let's take an in depth look at the brand new ASUS XG27AQDMG

I had a Asus ROG PG27AQDM 240hz Matte OLED and upgraded to this Glossy version and the difference is pretty noticeable. Definitely worth it for me.
-
Getting mine tomorrow, can't wait, mouth is literally watering watching this video...
-
Love the coverage of matte versus glossy and sample and hold blur! I sought out an LG CX/C1 last year specifically for their advanced hardware based rolling scan BFI, which works beautifully. 300Hz or more equivalent in terms of motion resolution. Such a shame LG discontinued rolling scan option. I run it for everything even office stuff. A big plus was the C series glossy panel. Puzzling that there would be grain on this new screen?
-
I really don't understand why asus wouldn't go balls to the wall with the glossy finish when its the entire selling point of the monitor?
-
So how do you clean a QD-OLED if it's not easy to clean, what materials do you use?
-
Wait, you have the Innocn 34M1R but haven't reviewed it?
-
I'm certainly hoping to see a glossy OLED in the 35-39" range, eventually. For my scenario/setup in my semi truck, that would be the sweet spot. Come November/December I'll be building a new system, so I can retire my old laptop. It still holds it's own for the most part, 9700k & RTX 4080, was top of the line like 5 years ago. Looking to step up to a 2k or 4k setup on a MATX build. Just waiting for all this next gen hardware, cases, peripherals, ect.. to hit the market.
-
I think when you showed the qd-oled next to this monitor, the light bar actually looked way less noticeable on the qd-oled.
-
hey display guy i want a 45-49 inch ultrawide gaming/productivity monitor for my setup please guide me to the best monitor
-
I got the 27 g6 oled 699 after a 200 amazon gift card. The matt coating not bad at all and its 360 qd oled. Highly recommend that monitor, glossy is not for me too many reflections.
-
Someone should build a 32" 1440p/4k +100hz CRT. Everything would be great, except the huge footprint and weight.
-
Was waiting for this! All said & done, QD-OLED TV/monitor continues to WIN in light controlled room. WOLED TV when one cannot control for light. QD-OLED be my display tech of choice moving forward until gorilla glass becomes the norm.
-
Is it coming out from LG like this or is Asus putting something on top? 🤔 Kind of weird it's still slightly hazy but maybe applying glass is expensive?
-
What's your opinion for alienware 32 inch 4k oled or this monitor /dough spectrum black in terms of resolution clarity and actually being able to run smooth at close to the 240hz refresh rate? Is the trade off worth it for 4k can your eyes Instantly tell the difference or is it not such a drastic difference now with the better coating? I hope I made sense
-
How are you determining the "total system latency"? 24ms seems wayyy too high for a 240Hz OLED gaming panel.
-
Ye I much prefer glossy. The only time I think a mat Finnish is better is if you have a bright light source within it's reflection angle
-
Please compare sdr and hdr brightness to lg 27gs95qe-b 🙏
-
it's funny how Dough is just a meme brand but surpasses everyone when implementing tech
-
thanks
