That is a strange panel. TFTCentral has a really in depth review on it here. Sounds like a great monitor... but only for studio production use. That 60Hz only is kinda of a bummer imho.

Linus just did short vid on what would be Asus's miniLED competitor to that monitor...

Personally if I was working in a studio, I'd take the LG. If I was a YTer that also gamed on the side, I'd take the Asus. That light blooming, is not acceptable for really serious production work. But for the type of content you might upload to YT it would probably be fine and it's gaming performance is pretty decent.

I don't see why. We've had 1440P 165Hz monitors for years now. The price has gone down though which is nice, but that's just because it's not cutting edge anymore.

its affordable and has great color performance on top of that 170hz refresh rate. KVM switch and Free Sync Premium is also nice.
 
Don't trust marketing numbers on color production. Check some reviews! Those bastards lie left and right on that **** since there's "different" methods of testing it.

The KVM switch I had to look up. Seems like a very niche feature .. not one I'd ever use :lol:
 
Ratings and HU had great reviews on it. Being IPS, I think the only bummer about it was the contrast and black uniformity. Can live with that.
 
Yeah not much you can do about the blacks unless it's an OLED unfortunately. I'm spoiled by my TV .. I really wish someone would give us a damn 32-34" OLED already. That thing would sell like hotcakes.

for reals. A 32" OLED even if it is just 120hz, would be endgame. I suspect monitor manufactures know this and they are going to prolong the endgame as much as possible.

Ultrawide OLED is the dream

I'd take just 4k tbh.
 
You'd think LG, since they dominate the OLED market, would just blast everyone away with a 4K 120Hz panel (which they've been making for years now in larger sizes) and laugh their way to the bank. Quite frankly I think it's strange they haven't done that yet. LG could destroy almost every other panel manufacturer on the market, at least until MiniLED becomes affordable for us peasants..

Yeah I'm good on Ultrawide. Just give me 16:9 4K in 32". None of this curved nonsense. GSync module at 120Hz with the nearly non existent input lag of an OLED panel.. god DAMN I wish.
 
I hate how things are wider on the edges of Ultrawide. It's so noticeable to me lately on my 38". I do love the happy medium of 3840x1600, but god damn it that wideness thing it does is super irritating for some reason.
 
You mean the fish eye thing? 16:9 does the exact same thing, and so does 4:3 and 5:4. Only way you can fight it is a lower FOV. Go to low however and you start to get paper tube vision. I suppose a game could resolve the issue engine side with a little post warp filtering. But short of VR, which corrects for lens warp this way, I can't think of anything that does this.
 
It's not really noticeable on 16:9, or at least I never have. The issue I have with going low on the FOV is I get disoriented. This happened to me in Hell Let Loose.. thought I was getting motion sickness or something. I couldn't focus on the screen at all - raised FOV to 100, and worked great.
 
Yea I absolutely hate low fov games, I get the same thing as you. It's really common on console shooters to :(. Almost the first thing I adjust when tweaking my settings in a game is the FOV.

But then again, I am rocking a 32:9 screen, so I just got used to the fish eye effect to the sides when things get close in some games.
 
I love ultrawide, although I could happily use a nice 16:9 panel no problem.

I really want 2160p ultrawide next.
