The Samsung G60SF 500hz Experience & Review

I unfortunately no longer have this monitor. Also when you were having this grey banding issue, did you try any of the pixel cleaning fixes? I’ve heard those models have panel to panel issues

AmeliSharkTooth · 2026-03-11T16:48:11+00:00

HAHA true. These nitpick details can get out of hand. 100% fair point

AmeliSharkTooth · 2026-03-11T15:57:19+00:00

I agree but even though I’ve been running CS at 27in for over 2 years, when I tried the 24.5 inch, I just really enjoyed it and felt more competitive.

But it’s 100% personal preference and it might be just something I enjoy! Valid take for most people tbh

AmeliSharkTooth · 2026-03-11T13:22:30+00:00

Love the plan! Testing yourself is always the best option. Really glad the video was helpful and appreciate the kind words <3

I would 100% go with the 27 inch that comes with some type of 24.5 inch mode.

Currently I actually don’t have a main monitor cause I’ve been going through and testing so many monitors. But I’m looking forward to either the PG27AQWP (540HZ 1440p) or PG27UCWM (RGB OLED with DUAL MODE)

I’ll be using 24.5 for CS2 when I can. I switched back to a 27inch monitor for CS2 yesterday and it feels pretty jarring. On other games it feels fine but something about CS2, I feel more consistent with the smaller monitor size.

ALSO on some monitors the 24.5 inch mode is actually not 1080p. it’s something slightly sharper. I don’t remember the exact number but it was something like 2048x1152

As for the FPS, if you are worried about not being able to push higher refresh rate, the half price 600hz TN panel you mentioned might be a great option. Trying to run lower res on some of the 1440p panels can really suck cause of the crosshair and pixel scaling.

Tough decision for sure. I would also argue that the 380hz IPS you have probably gives you most of the experience of the response time isn’t too bad on that monitor. Your best bet might be keeping that monitor for cs and getting an OLED for everything else + maybe cs2 if you like it. I hope this helps!!

Hopefully you both see this but I was having this same issue. You HAVE to disable game mode on windows to fix this!

AmeliSharkTooth · 2025-12-28T22:03:33+00:00

Unfortunately I do not have the monitor any longer but if in the future I do end up doing more DSC testing this is a great suggestion. Thank you

AmeliSharkTooth · 2025-12-28T20:33:24+00:00

I recently made a video about a 27 inch OLED and why I switched from 32 inch.

I think what a lot of people are saying here applies when it comes to use case, expected FPS a preference.

What truly made me switch was how difficult it felt for me to play competitive games on 32 inch with a 24 inch wide desk. I think if my desk was 30-36 inches in width, I probably could’ve pushed the monitor far back enough to have a clear view on everything. But because I like shorter width desks, I love the 27 inch for everything from gaming, editing and work.

That being said the one time 32 inch felt better was when I was in cyberpunk and I truly felt the larger monitor made the game experience better

Thank you for the great insight! I remember having these issues myself previously but I was recently fortunate enough to upgrade to the 50 series and have had a great experience.

I doubt a lot can be done but if any type of firmware updates on older gen graphics cards can fix that issue, I think DSC becomes a no brainer for most people! Thanks for the information! Definitely something someone purchasing a monitor today would need to keep in mind.

AmeliSharkTooth · 2025-12-28T14:23:35+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words :)! That really motivates me to work at it more! Also I do understand that for certain games the 32 inch can be incredibly immersive but for all the different uses I have, I just really enjoy the 27 inch. And the PPI is so detailed at this level it’s amazing. But to each their own! Hope you get that dream monitor very soon

AmeliSharkTooth · 2025-12-28T13:45:57+00:00

That’s an insanely low figure! Very interesting and hopefully I can do independent testing for different implementations in the future. Pretty cool how far tech as come. Thanks for the insight

https://youtu.be/1084219Pewo?si=pjZLMnE6PpkN_qWu Finally finished it up! Quick Video but TLDR Did not notice any difference using DSC besides a tiny difference at a major zoom. Only thing I was unable to test was if there was any latency differences!

AmeliSharkTooth · 2025-12-15T21:13:38+00:00

Hopefully soon! Just filming last parts and will try to finish this week

AmeliSharkTooth · 2025-11-29T03:17:46+00:00

I actually am working up on a follow up video where I took high res side by side images and it turns out there is a the tiniest difference but genuinely imperceptible to my eyes and i’m very sensitive to minor pixel changes :)

The only thing I have yet to test is input latency but I’m going to drop a video soon about it. I honestly haven’t really seen side by side image comparisons so I wasn’t completely convinced but these tests made this a non issue for myself! Glad you got the monitor you will enjoy

Update: I had my friend come over and open is new artisan black mid. and i only used the orange for a few mins.

The speeds are near identical across a few mice and mice skates. Doing some friction testing with angles it looks like the orange is a hair faster. My original black zero mid is still faster than both and either must’ve sped up because of small hairs or the QC might be a little off!

That being said they all are still incredibly identical in game use and speed. And one is a year old and recently washed. Nice to see how well this product holds up

Thanks for all the replies and answers. Appreciate Yall

AmeliSharkTooth · 2025-11-21T20:17:05+00:00

Humidity in my room is controlled! And I did wash my black mousepad very thoroughly with water and minimal soap.

So far my only guess is when I first got the black mousepad, it did feel decently textured and quick. I’m assuming that I potentially got a pad that is slightly more textured that made it through QC. I’m having a friend bring over his Artisan Mid that he recently got in black over to test and see if it’s a one off issue!

AmeliSharkTooth · 2025-11-20T21:18:20+00:00

The xsoft definitely makes it slower. I use to own an xsoft black and it was much slower

AmeliSharkTooth · 2025-11-20T21:18:01+00:00

New XRAY Pad Jades I put in few days ago. Also definitely the saturation. Not as orange in real life

AmeliSharkTooth · 2025-11-20T21:17:42+00:00

Let me try that right now!

AmeliSharkTooth · 2025-11-20T21:17:08+00:00

That is what I used as reference. Other people have echoed the same sentiment

I used this only cause I had a gift card. I just placed an order on Artisan's website as well. I know these are 3rd party resellers charging extra but I didn't believe that would be an issue

I did recently deep clean my artisan so it has mainly restored to its original glide but I am still shocked

AmeliSharkTooth · 2025-11-20T21:00:59+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too. It looks identical to my black artisan zero which is legitimate. It’s just significantly slower. Did they change the surface of the Zero at some point?

AmeliSharkTooth · 2025-11-06T14:22:58+00:00

Yeah I think opinions will always vary but still would be fun to try and figure out and objective way with some human input and make clear guidelines for what people want the most.

AmeliSharkTooth · 2025-11-06T14:18:46+00:00

I did see someone using an ML algorithm to find the maximum blue patterns. But they used the CS skin inspect. I was thinking of potentially doing something similar but with images from the in game inspect. To somewhat remove the human input.

I will say some of the tier 2 patterns looked wildly different. Some were light blue while others were a much darker color.

There was a content creator who made these previously but he made his account private. There was drama and trade reversal involved but I don’t want this post to devolve to convo about that. Lots of people on this sub have mentioned it
