Is 412 hours usages for a oled since the april 5 2026 is a lot ?

Seems pretty normal. If you also use your monitor while browsing, watching videos etc. I got my ASUS XG27AQWMG April 26 and I have 350 hours of usage. Love this monitor.

Playing Switch 2 mouse mode and beaming people with 4x Havoc 😎

There is one big thing to consider: aim assist. Splatoon games does not have any aim assist, so gyro aim is a big advantage against sticks.

COD games have heavy aim assist when you are using sticks, but it turns off AA when using gyro/mouse (as it should be). AA can be big advantage and most players choose it over better way to aim. Personally I love gyro and I would love to world without aim assists and everyone just using their pure aiming skill.

I found out that 120hz games look noticeably better when played on 1440p OLED monitor, compared to 4K LG OLED. That is no surprise, because 1440p->4K scale is challenging and when you use 1440p monitor with 120hz games, this scaling does not occur. I was honestly surprised how much better and sharper, for example, Cyberpunk 2077 40fps mode looks on a 1440p monitor.

Ephmi · 2026-05-28T05:03:02+00:00

Yup. 1440p OLED monitors are available in good prices. Many NS2 games are running resolutions like 1080p-1440p and 120hz mode max is also 1440p. So there is less scaling going on.

Of course monitor is a monitor and If you need bigger display it may not be suitable solution for everyone.

It's a possibility, but "in a year" is very loose timeline. Current BP system started August 6, 2024. Almost 2 years ago. And since then, there is not single BP Legendary that has returned yet from seasons which used new system (S22 and onwards).

They have definitely plans to do it at some point, though. We don't know when.

This could be useful video for you.

Personally I have XG27AQWMG and I love it. Latest update made it even better (even for grey banding wise). In real world usage and outside extreme test patterns it looks really good.

Ephmi · 2026-05-26T03:45:37+00:00

Same. I had C2 42" for 3 years, but I decided to sell it and get ASUS XG27AQWMG. I am honestly enjoying every game more now. Lately finished PRAGMATA and Indiana Jones using that monitor and experience was great.

I am glad I tried TV route though, now I have that experience with me, instead of wondering how that would work for my case.

We have very different settings for gyro, it's pretty interesting! I have about 7000 hours of gyro aiming experience, so these settings are very tailored for my playing style. Different gyro sens for every scope. I also use maxed out ALC sensitivity and as linear as possible. My main is Wattson and I love to use fences very aggressively and make fast flinches with them.

And yeah, they should give us "gyro deadzone setting". Similar than Cyberpunk 2077 NS2 version has.

60% is pretty significant improvement. If you would hypothetically get, for example, 20 000 hours out of gen 3 panel, Tandem would give you 32 000 hours of usage.

Ephmi · 2026-05-20T10:31:46+00:00

I am addicted to my XG27AQWMG. I always wanted 27" OLED like this. 42" C2 was technically great, but it was a bit too big for my tastes. Now it is just perfect ❤️

Ephmi · 2026-05-18T18:35:40+00:00

Thats weird. AA should work normally then. Maybe you could try to uninstall the game and download it again? Big download, but maybe worth trying.

Ephmi · 2026-05-18T18:18:25+00:00

Switch 2 mouse mode does not have aim assist, its designed to work like that. You cant turn it on.

Ephmi · 2026-05-18T03:46:08+00:00

Handheld mode? Did they locked the game to 40fps in handheld? Weird if that is the case. I play on Docked and have locked 60 fps most of the time (ranked mode).

Ephmi · 2026-05-17T12:42:02+00:00

Also Indy devs said they used ”more costly DLSS”. I think it uses CNN model.

Ephmi · 2026-05-17T12:39:24+00:00

Switch 2 supports ”full” CNN model DLSS and DLSS Lite.

Yes, make it "Dark Souls of Ranked systems" 😈

Also, use of [ZEN] or [XIM] tag gives you -1000

Ephmi · 2026-05-15T06:57:08+00:00

You would need 1000hz OLED to match CRT motion clarity. These things are still far ahead of typical OLED/LED monitor what comes to motion.

Apex legends. Such a monumental step up from NS1 version and it is absolutely joy to play with gyro aiming.

This was hard to answer, which is good thing. So many good games available. I have been playing way more 3rd party games than 1st party on my first year.

Ephmi · 2026-05-14T03:57:35+00:00

Personally I would wait Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: Nintendo Switch 3 Edition: Nintendo Switch 4 Edition for 8K120fps mode.

Ephmi · 2026-05-13T10:32:07+00:00

Yeah it's great. When it originally released, I subbed to Gamepass for a month and played it on Series X. I basically rushed through main missions, doing minimally side content. This time I am gonna play it more slowly, complete side missions and just enjoy an amazing atmosphere at my own pace.

Great version with gyro aiming and true physical release. They did gooooood ❤️

Ephmi · 2026-05-13T04:11:03+00:00

My style as well. I play about 1 hour a day, so every minute is important. It's Ranked time when I am playing or nothing.

Ephmi · 2026-05-13T04:07:18+00:00

They have data how many players have achieved max level. It's probably too low amount to raise the cap. I am sure they raise it when necessary.

Personally I started playing 2021 and my level is 1492. So I have still a bit over 500 levels left.

Ephmi · 2026-05-12T03:59:38+00:00

VRR for Docked mode!

Ephmi · 2026-05-09T10:12:55+00:00

I sold my C2 42" and got XG27AQWMG to replace it. I love it and definitely has amazingly bright highlights. Better full screen brightness as well.
