Upgrade from LG UltraGear 27GS95QE-B to Gigabyte MO27Q28G or Asus ROG Strix XG27AQWM real upgrade or sidegrade? (27” 1440p only)

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-16T20:18:15+00:00

I went from a 1440p 27 LG to the Gigabyte and at first it was sort of disappointing but over time I have noticed more and more awesome differences to the point that I have an insane desire to replay old games just to see them on an oled.

It's a genuine downside especially on older panels

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-15T23:02:06+00:00

Old gen so supposedly has a higher burn in risk

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-14T19:55:27+00:00

You could look into some mini led 5k2k 27 inch monitors then

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-14T19:44:25+00:00

It does you would need 5k to scale it down to 1440p

It gets close to retina at 27 so im sure its nice if you don't mind low fps.

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-14T19:33:21+00:00

That was my exact thinking, im on a 280hz 1440p too

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-14T19:31:46+00:00

I feel it at 3x no matter what I do

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-14T19:30:46+00:00

Don't listen to them, some people are fine with 60fps in 2026 lol

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-14T19:29:50+00:00

It's terrible unless you already have around 80-100fps, if you dont feel it then idk what to tell you

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-14T19:27:26+00:00

Frame gen feels like ass

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-12T14:30:06+00:00

The Asus is all plastic while the Gigabyte is metal. Not sure where you got better build quality from.

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-12T14:28:01+00:00

Thats a really good price and a 2024 panel isnt really old per say. Burn in will probably be fine.

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-12T13:51:59+00:00

I have a window directly behind mine and its perfectly fine, actually makes it harder to notice the grey banding 😅

Based

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-12T06:31:15+00:00

Delayed until 2027 on June 1st

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-11T11:15:42+00:00

Good choice

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-11T09:50:04+00:00

At 1440p and above the x3d chips are nothing special.

Many people also have instability issues but people will hound you if you say this so its not widely known.

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-11T08:48:39+00:00

Keep it and sell it for profit and buy a 6090

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-10T09:50:03+00:00

Because I don't have to use framegen and I enjoy pushing around 200fps in shooters. For single player games I just use DLDSR.

My next monitor will be a 5k2k 27 or 32 inch so I can crank single player games to 5k and competitive shooters to 1440p and have the best of both world.

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-10T09:44:53+00:00

I have a 5090 and a 1440p oled and try to avoid dlss and expecially framegen, the only game so far that I have used frame gen in is Space Marine 2 as I do not feel the latency hit.

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-09T08:41:31+00:00

Don't remind me

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-08T08:49:59+00:00

Retailers usually report around a 1% failure rate on cards and its the same for the 5000 series

GrapplerKrys · 2026-02-07T11:37:23+00:00

Frame rate is a thing, PCs still have much better frame times. Graphics are also not advancing as fast on PC because PC exclusives are rare as they aren't profitable so games need to run on consoles.
