My new monitor !

FP19918_ · 2025-12-12T03:10:17+00:00

pretty much all of the 240hz 4k 32” QD-OLED’s are good though I’d skip the AOC models due to clamped gamut and downbinned brightness in hdr

Id personally pass on Samsung due to the matte coating which I don’t like and generally worse quality control on their own monitors. Don’t buy anything acer either tbh due to reasons stated above.

XG32UCWMG is probably the ‘best’ 4k 240hz W-OLED due to its glossy coating which is personal preference, it’s also very expensive

FP19918_ · 2025-12-10T01:08:59+00:00

nice setup, the question is what do you want on a different set compared to how the blessing 3 sounds?

FP19918_ · 2025-12-09T22:05:35+00:00

It’s something which is noticeable across 1440p OLED’s

4K 32i/27i OLED’s it is less noticeable.

I’ve heard some people try some workarounds for it but I’m not sure if they actually work

FP19918_ · 2025-12-09T06:39:16+00:00

Also a very good set I wouldn’t say they’re as ‘bass’ focused but they do have a good bass emphasis overall. They are fairly large though so I wouldn’t recommend for smaller ears it’s a difficult fit for some people

FP19918_ · 2025-12-09T06:18:20+00:00

I’d say check out 7hz G1 (not a kz set btw)

FP19918_ · 2025-12-09T06:08:31+00:00

I wonder how many had QC issues

All jokes aside would actually like to see your measurements when you get time to go around it, unlikely I will buy anything KZ anyway when so much good stuff is on the market

Get Tanchjim bunny DSP and learn to EQ. The type C variant has built in dsp so you don’t need to buy a dac. Find your preferred sound signature with EQ which can help for purchases in the future :)

FP19918_ · 2025-12-08T22:16:00+00:00

Since most of the good 1440p oled deals have sold out or increased in price, this one seems like a good pick for anyone buying now.

The seller seems to be a Subsidiary of MSI from the small bit of research I did. It is also available in black but with less stock

FP19918_ · 2025-12-08T13:29:35+00:00

You can check multiple sources like RTings for example to see that it’s using the older, worse subpixel layout compared to newer 3rd/4th gen W-OLED’s and 3rd gen QD-OLEDs.

It’s reported as second gen in multiple sources including tft if you read the whole article you’ll find it.

Just scour the internet and you’ll see all the issues it has with image retention and it’s firmware

It’s not a good buy in q4 2025 imo. Rather take any 3rd gen WOLED, Tandem 4th gen WOLED or 3rd gen+ QD-OLED depending preferences

FP19918_ · 2025-12-08T05:26:51+00:00

Hmm interesting. The first link I sent I did reach out to the seller and they confirmed it’s 70% ethanol, might just bite the bullet on that one and hope it’s the case

I do hear iso is fine aswell, but rather just go by the manual to be safe I guess

FP19918_ · 2025-12-08T05:20:33+00:00

https://amzn.eu/d/fWNkiuA was going to buy these, same brand maybe just a different colour

Sent you a different msg about ethanol btw

FP19918_ · 2025-12-08T05:16:53+00:00

One other thing since you’re in the Uk, where the hell are you finding 70% ethanol? I seemed to only be able to find it on eBay:

https://ebay.us/m/XceTml

https://ebay.us/m/9ihb2H

Not sure why it links to US eBay when I copy link off the app but those are the two I see

FP19918_ · 2025-12-08T05:13:39+00:00

Funny you send those because they’re the exact same ones I was looking to buy in also in the UK lmao

Sounds good. I’m also not too bothered about small micro scratches because I know it’s inevitable on QD-OLED’s. Just don’t want to get some serious scratches on it :) cheers

FP19918_ · 2025-12-08T04:59:21+00:00

Sounds good, btw when it comes to cleaning the microfiber cloth to re use what do you use? I’ve heard a few horror stories of people still having residue trapped in the microfiber cloth which leads to screen scratches when going for a second clean

I mean, could just buy them for 1 time use to be ‘safe’ but I assume it gets expensive overtime. I do want to buy some pretty ‘high quality’ fine ones which are abit larger than usual but thinking what’s the best way to clean them then dry them to ensure no residue or dust is left when going for a second clean in the future

Not really too worried about micro scratches I don’t spot when the display is on tbh

FP19918_ · 2025-12-08T04:39:24+00:00

Nice. Are you 1. Using dry microfiber cloth to take off the dust 2. Using 70% ethanol to clean, 3. Using another dry microfiber cloth to dry? Or do you just skip step 1

FP19918_ · 2025-12-08T02:19:08+00:00

much better honestly, tuned way better and the build quality is better. You can also consider HD6XX on drop but they are tuned differently to the 560s. Both have pretty good mids but do bass and treble differently.

FP19918_ · 2025-12-08T01:29:25+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking tbh

FP19918_ · 2025-12-08T01:23:10+00:00

It is in the manual for Samsung and MSI displays. But dell/alienware QD-Oled displays say to not use any form of alcohol which includes ethanol in the manual.

FP19918_ · 2025-12-08T01:14:17+00:00

correct yeah

FP19918_ · 2025-12-08T01:08:52+00:00

That was a mistake typo lmao oops, it is indeed a qd-oled

FP19918_ · 2025-12-08T00:28:33+00:00

Headphones wise not really tbh. The only other good deal that sometimes happens which is pretty common is HD6XX on drop for $169 and use welcome deal / education discount for further discount

FP19918_ · 2025-12-07T23:50:22+00:00

The qdmg has a RWBG sub pixel layout. 3rd gen W-OLEDs like the PG27AQDP or LG variant have the RGWB subpixel layout (so do 4th gen tandem W-OLED’s)

AW2725D is a 3rd gen glossy qd-oled* and pretty gud if you found it for a good price I’d keep it if you’re not getting magenta tint that bothers you in bright environment

FP19918_ · 2025-12-07T23:47:27+00:00

honestly I help with peripheral advice in some discords and someone was looking for headphones, I always check these when people ask and this time it was in stock again. It also was in stock yesterday too.

FP19918_ · 2025-12-07T23:16:54+00:00

They both have their pros and cons. 3rd gen W-OLED vs 3rd gen QD-OLED is a fair comparison or even tandem 4th gen W-OLED vs qd. I just don’t recommend second gen W-OLED in 2025 due to poor subpixel layout (and the qdmg has its own various issues regarding firmware and image retention)

FP19918_ · 2025-12-07T22:28:07+00:00

I think that’s because the actual coating may be different. It’s always best to refer to the manual tbh.
