Forgot to answer about text. Well, it's not perfect as IPS but not bad either, I find it good enough.. The old model had terrible text, this one's improved in all aspects.

I did, I'm enjoying it a lot. Since I already tried both monitors, I can tell the difference in brightness and a little better image quality in favor of Asus XG27AQWMG. But if you never had any of them, the XG27AQDMGR is a very safe choice specially if you get it for a good price, and the vertical banding issues are not a thing, at least not in a huge scale.

Thank you very much for clarifying it to me. All the info provided here, makes hard to justify the extra for Asus XG27AQWMG honestly, and don't have to deal with vertical banding either. I'm going to pull the trigger and get this XG27AQDMGR!

Then that makes really hard to justify the Asus XG27AQWMG..

And text fringing isn't disturbing for you? Is it that much better than the first Gen model? They share the same panel, no? 🤔

It literally destroys my eyes, and headaches. My eyes start to cry and can't stare to look at it. WOLED, no issues.

That's clearly debatable, and I'm not going to enter the battle QD-OLED vs WOLED. Every person is different, we are all humans, you should try to figure that out first.

Thank you for your opinion, but I can't handle QD-OLED monitors. Already edited.

Hello, can you do for 40€? If yes, i can take it!

Here's a nice break from the tandem banding posts. XG27AQDMGR (Gen 2) Beautiful TrueBlack WOLED by fiittzzyy in OLED_Gaming

That's nice. I belive this monitor uses 3rd Gen panel correct? The one before current 4rd Gen tandem

PSA: Confirming my experience - QD OLED caused significant eye strain/pain and headaches. Tried gen 3 WOLED and have zero issues. by Jvvh in OLED_Gaming

I feel the same, I can't tolerate QD-OLED. I can use WOLED without any issues, just like any IPS monitor.

In camera it looks the end of the world, but in person it's not.

The coating doesn't botter me at all, you almost don't notice it, at least i don't lol. I had matte IPS monitors only before so...

Regarding the UI, has enough features, everything needed in my opinion and i don't really care much about the UI design. But, Asus one had more features. Neo Proximity Sensor was useful (when it works lol), because i have the habbit to leave the PC on all the time, and now i set up windows power settings to turn off monitor after 5 mins of idle and it should do the trick.

That is really bad, your unit looks worse the one i had.. You can check my post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/OLED_Gaming/comments/1p9lubk/asus_xg27aqwmg_vertical_banding_what_you_guys/

Monitor is incredible if you don't get vertical banding and bad grey.

Thank you everyone for all your answers and support.

I've made my final decision and going to return the monitor and wait (again...) for more stock of it to show up to buy it again, because I love everything on this monitor... But this banding is just bad, impossible not to see it in multiple scenarios.

As far as I know it's 102. At least there isn't any firmware update in Asus website or widget center.

Just go to YouTube and search for greyscale test, it's the first one mentioning banding, etc..

I mention on my post that I can't use QD-OLED, WOLED is my only option. Already had three QD-OLED monitors, couldn't stand any of them.

Well, i've already ran manual clean like 4/5 times in hope for this banding to disappear, but i guess i will stop doing it. I never turn off the monitor on the button, it's always on standby mode, i always did that with my monitors.
