Product Information

You can save money by going with a non-OLED model like the Gigabyte M27Q X, but you’ll lag behind when it comes to pixel response times and visual quality.

In terms of their actual gaming performance, they each have a fast response time, but the LG has less black smearing behind fast-moving objects. Without the firmware update the monitor in many games will divert to 120hz in full screen mode locking you out of 240hz .This has been a landmark year for monitors, ranging from the awe-inspiring Samsung Ark to the glorious Alienware 34 QD-OLED. The small and stubby toggle under the centre of the display to access the OSD is best left alone because it’s quite difficult and aggravating to use. Clarified text in Compared To Other Monitors to specify that the Dell Alienware AW3423DWF offers better picture quality for a slightly higher cost.

LG deceives and imposes Vignetting effect on the image, causing the edges of the screen to be darker than the center. These include Screen Move, which shunts the entire display around by a few pixels, the self-explanatory Screen Saver and the more invasive Image and Pixel Cleaning, which take 10 minutes and one minute to run, respectively.

Both curved displays introduce new technologies to LG's consumer lines and provide unique experiences for users. I left it off because I would much rather play with good color on a darker screen than be too bright and blown out. DTS HeadphoneX 3D audio passthrough This LG may lack built-in speakers, but the DTS HeadphoneX output through the audio jack is impressive if you have a good pair of wired headphones.
