LG 27" 1440p 240hz OLED Ultragear 27GR95QE

High Hz on OLED produce excellent strobeless motion blur reduction with fast GtG pixel response. It is easier to tell apart 60Hz vs 120Hz vs 240Hz on OLED than LCD, and more visible to mainstream. Includes WOLED and QD-OLED displays.

Do we have any info if the monitor is pwm free?

I have the Zowie XL2566k now. I like it. Its bright with low blur and low inputlag at 320 nits.
This monitor has 200 nits: if its not bright like the Zowie, but has better blur reduction and lower inputlag, I am still not going to get it.
Don't forget ABL behavior. CRTs have under 200 nits too when displaying a white screen.

Few white pixels = the pixels are brighter than the world's brightest BenQ

Many white pixels = the pixels fall to 200 nits

Reviewers will need to benchmark ABL behaviours (1%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100% white window sizes).

This will depend on the monitor model; but you will encounter OLEDs capable of 400+ nits at 1% but 200 nits at 100%. Different vendors will unlock different brightness-windowing sizes of the Automatic Brightness Level (ABL) algorithm.

OLED displays do this for many reasons (burn-in, power, picture quality, power supply, etc). Plasmas and CRTs did this. Some of the OLEDs I'm using don't dim as much as an average plasma or CRT during sudden big-bright-window moments, but your mileage will vary depending on the OLED and OLED model/year.

Peeps who were born after CRTs golden years -- may not be familiar with ABL behavior.

I am also worried about the SDR ( 150 nits ) vs HDR ( 1000 nits ) behavior. Is this monitor going to force me to install Windows 11 for the auto HDR functionality?

LCDs currently display consistent brightness levels regardless of white pixels? There's no fluctuation, even small? Assuming these OLEDs bottom out at 200 nits and are most of the time in general use are brighter, this should be just as bright or even brighter than what I use my IPS at (223 nits according to TFT central), which is plenty bright at night. In fact, a white screen in my dark room has an eye squinting effect when opening a page that isn't in dark mode lol. Maybe the ABL adjustment will benefit me there :lol:.

I'm super excited for reviews to come out on this monitor and the ASUS/Acer models. It's good to hear you guys are involved with 240Hz OLEDs. Any idea when we'll know which one?

If the limiting factor for brightness is heat, a $1000 monitor really should come with whatever engineering solution is necessary to give it best-in-class brightnss. Heatpipes, nice copper heatsink, the works

Yes, generally for the majority of LCDs -- for non-FALD LCDs.

(Full array local dimming may or may not have ABL behaviors)

Anyone else get their monitor today? Still trying to figure out what settings to use for this

Long time lurker and first time poster that's looking for some advice. Sorry if i go a bit off topic.

So I am looking to upgrade my monitor as I have just upgraded my setup with the latest generation radeon CPU/GPU.

My old monitor was a Zowie XL2540 which I've had since 2018 I think. (Non dyac but 240hz) I was looking to upgrade my main monitor. I mostly play competitive games so CS:GO, Valorant, Overwatch then a bit of DOTA, WOW and DAYZ PUBG ETC. (CS:GO is my goto game out of all of these)

What I am trying to say is that I am not playing the latest AAA titles but i do play a variety of games. I float around lvl 5-8 faceit and LEM to Global in CS:GO to give you an idea of my competance level (IN EU) so i aint the best but i don't suck.

I play CS:GO 3:4 stretched but the native version so 1440x1080 now.

Would i be better to go for the LG OLED which i think looks monster and I could get some decent frames with my new setup or should i upgrade my zowie to the latest XL2566K 360hz version with DYAC etc? (I'm really torn)

This forum is amazing and a great source of knowledge and the science but i get a bit lost in the sauce if I'm honest so thought i'd just try and ask for some feedback.

I do work from home on the PC and have found it pretty okay with the 24.5 monitor for productivity so that is maybe something else to think about. I work in finance so mostly spread sheets etc. I don't need super accurate colour representatiom etc.

Thanks in advance for any advice/help

I just got mine yesterday. So far turning off energy saving mode and vrr is what I did. Left others at default. Using gamer mode 1
