About this deal

First the BenQ Zowie XL2566K which we would rate overall as being slightly faster than the LG, with a slightly sharper and clearer image. This becomes a little more apparent in certain situations like with scrolling text as well, but unless you were comparing them side by side it would probably be hard to separate the two for most people. If you’re after the absolute clearest motion for Esports and competitive gaming, then something like the BenQ with its 360Hz TN Film panel has the slight edge. Like most OLED panels, the display has extremely thin bezels all around, and the extra chin at the bottom is only to accommodate the IR blaster for the included remote control. Speaking of which, yes the monitor does come with a remote control, which might be odd at first thought because why would a 27” screen require that? But there is a good reason for it - there is not much space to fit the OSD menu buttons anywhere on the monitor. The panel is extremely thin, so that’s out of the question, and the bottom of the display is allocated to exhaust (which is extremely important for OLED technology) with space for just the power button. Hence, the OSD duties are relegated to the remote control, so you might want to keep it at a reaching distance at all times. dE colour accuracy – a wide range of colours are tested and the colour accuracy dE measured. We compare these produced colours to the sRGB reference space, and if applicable when measuring a wide gamut screen we also provide the accuracy relative to a specific wide gamut reference such as DCI-P3. An average dE and maximum dE is provided along with an overall screen rating. The lower the dE the better, with differences of <1 being imperceptible (marked by the green area on the graph), and differences between 1 and 3 being small (yellow areas). Anything over dE 3 needs correcting and causes more obvious differences in appearance relative to what should be shown. dE 2000 is used for improved accuracy and providing a better representation of what you would see as a user, compared with older dE methods like dE 1994, as it takes into account the human eye’s perceptual sensitivity to different colours.

The UltraGear OLED 27 has competitive games down, but it also has cinematic games nailed. OLED and the stellar HDR experience it brings means you can enjoy games like Cyberpunk 2077and Horizon Zero Dawnwithout missing out. There are 7 monitors using the same panel with different design, features, connectivity options, warranty and pricing. The 27GR95QE features a more traditional monitor-like matte anti-glare coating, as opposed to a glossy panel coating like you’d find on popular OLED TV’s including the LG 42C2. This seems to be the panel coating of choice for OLED screens aimed at desktop use, and it makes sense when you think about the typical use cases for desktop monitors compared with TV’s, and the fact that this type of panel coating has been used for many years in the LCD market. Reflection handling Regardless, these issues will happen over hundreds and hundreds of hours of playing the same kind of content, so don’t worry about it too much…just a little.For those who want to use the full wide gamut of the screen, we also experimented to see what the best we could get out of the screen was, with only simple OSD adjustments. This should, if nothing else, allow us to correct the overly cool default colour temp, and from there improve greyscale and colour accuracy somewhat.

Calibrating it reduced that dE average to an excellent 0.73, making it suitable for editing work. The monitor is used for editing and content creation in either sRGB or DCI-P3 formats, so it’s more than just a gaming display.

At 27 inches, the pixel density is excellent on the UltraGear OLED 27. Text looks super sharp, and images look vibrant thanks to the OLED panel. You’re spending more for fewer pixels, but that’s not really important once you sit down and look at the monitor. Jacob Roach / Digital Trends / Digital Trends The main downside of OLED panels is the risk of permanent image burn-in and temporary image retention. Asus ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM April 13, 2023 The new 27″ 1440p OLED monitor from Asus with 240Hz refresh rate, a custom heatsink and 1000 nits HDR brightness The fringing is not as noticeable as it is on monitors with a triangular subpixel layout, such as that of the Dell AW3423DWF with a QD-OLED panel, so except for those particularly sensitive to this, most users won’t even notice anything wrong with text rendering on the LG 27GR95QE unless looking at small text and fine details up close. This monitor supports the fastest refresh rate and respons
