The screen goes dim and bright all the time when you open or switch between windows of different brightness levels, by far not covering full screen, in the 2 games i tested so far it is extremely dim. No matter what setting i try this is unacceptable. I will send it back if there is no solution. I am thankful for any advice in this matter. ...Expand

@Keivzlast year Great review. Ive had this for less than a week and here are some of my thoughts:
1. The matte screen doesnt bother me one bit. I have a cx id="hidden24"to compare it to.
2. I have an nvidia card and i havent encountered the 120 hz bug, but i dont play valorant. I did have an issue where vrr refused to engage in fh 5 when i set the game to 4k (downsampling looks great on this thing) but setting the actual monitor resolution to 4k fixed that.
3. Havent noticed any flickering myself with vrr. The nvidia control panel says the monitor is not g sync compatiable when using hdmi oddly and i feel like g sync works better with dp but that may be placebo.
4. You can lose the remote. There is software you can download for windows to control the monitor with and it works nice and provides you with more options than the remote does (mostly)
5. I wonder what the input lag is like with das off (it goes off in vivid modevivid is a tad too cool but gets brighter than the other modes)
6. Dts x is a really nice perk. I think it sounds amazing and deserves a mention. ...Expand 13

@Spinelli__last year Well implemented backlight strobing such as on the omen x25, dell s2716dg, asus pg278q, pg278qr, pg278v / pg278vq at just 120 fps/hz absolutely, totally sample and hold tech is why oled, with a mere fraction of the pixel response times as even the fastest lcd panel' s pixels, still doesn' t have anything even close to the motion clarity of a crt or of even a 120 hz strobed monitor. Now if you comparetech totech, of course an oled @ 240 hz will easily have better motion clarity than even the fastest lcd @ 240 hz and probably even 360 and possibly 480 hz. In fact, i believe oled' s superiority in motion clarity (at equal refresh rates) over lcd will increase as refresh rate increases because the higher refresh rates will mean that thetech being the weakest link will contribute less and less to the motion clarity and therefore will get in the way less of the oled' s incredibly low pixel response times to really shine and " do their thing" the pixel response times of fast oled gaming monitors is being severely held back and not being utilized to anywhere near it' s fullest due to the combination oftech and 240 hz.
we either need oleds with black frame insertion (and without adding much input lag) @ at least 120 hz, if not 240 hz, and well implemented (some strobing monitors don' t have it implemented well and therefore don' t improve much on the motion clarity compared to non-strobing mode, the samsung non-neo odyssey g7 is a good example) or, non-bfi oled @ 480 hz. I bet a very fast pixel respone time oled monitor without bfi but @ 480 hz can get fairly close to strobing / bfi / crt.
i had a dell s2716dg (144 hz, fast tn) asus pg278v / vq (165 hz, even faster tn, it' s basically a curved & brighter pg278qr) and a samsung odyssey g7 (240 hz, va, about the fastest va around) all at the same time, and the motion clarity of the samsung absolutely destroyed the other 2 despite the ultra-fast tns having either equal or faster pixel response times. ...Expand

@NeetLurkerlast year The overshoot is disappointing for me as i was looking for a monitor for a variety of games, not just high fps competitive games. I hope the asus won' t suffer from this issue.

@user-kb6pr3sp4xlast year No pros for matte-film cover, when you had a deal with glossycoating. Manufactures continue putting matte-film, as they used to do this, not to hear some user shoutings. You cannot put coating on matte finish thus matte always has greater index of reflection. Matte also add shity-crystal effect. ...Expand
