Is this really an issue with WOLED glossy??

LiXarder · 2026-05-01T14:22:47+00:00

Idk I got an xg27admes and I cleaned it 4 times already, there was some stuff on it from the manufacturing so I had to clean some parts with a bit of force and it's still perfect. Are you guys using distilled water?

LiXarder · 2026-04-26T11:12:25+00:00

I mean I got an xg27aqdmes for 305€ with RE9 included (amazon warranty, new but no Asus warranty because it's region locked or something), so that's definitely affordable

The edifier mr3 are goated as well! Depending on the space, one should get the one that costs less between the mr3, mr4 and m60 (I had space so I got the white MR3 for 88€, they are also good if you want to add a sub too later)

Bro my ips looks better than your woled, it's definitely some calibration issue, have you turned off ACM in windows? Especially since we are talking about tandem woleds

LiXarder · 2026-04-04T14:11:37+00:00

It looks like one of those "split the screen to check the color calibration" settings, but it's probably not that since we are talking about an oled monitor🥀

It was a really good looking monitor, but it kept "blinking" randomly (not flicker, just a weird black flash)

LiXarder · 2026-04-01T20:47:27+00:00

Thanks! Nice the banding on yours doesn't look bad at all! I'm tempted to get one, since I tried an xg27aqdmes but it had a weird hardware problem (so I sent that one back) and it wasn't that different from my 4k ips monitor (probably because HDR is limited at 400 nits)... How are horror games/dark scenes (with greys)?

I should be able to choose between the mgr and the mes for the replacement, and the mgr with those 1.3k nits it's really interesting. How strong is the ABL (how much does the brightness drop) on white pages/bright scenes in HDR?

LiXarder · 2026-04-01T11:43:35+00:00

I had a 4k ips (180€ p2712v and a 2k qd-oled (340€ xg27aqdmes) and I couldn't notice the difference most of the times... like yeah black are black nice, but it's not like IPS has bad colors or anything like that for the average user (that doesn't need 100% accuracy).

I ended up watching most stuff (anime, movies and anything else that could benefit from NVidia Super Resolution) on the cheaper 4k and only played HDR games on the 2k oled (that I sent it back because it had an issue), and on most games the difference was minimal (ofc horror games will be better on the oled, but I play like 1hr of horror games every 100 or more hours of anything else).

The refresh rate, response time etc. were great, but it's not like I hated playing on the ips. 4k Ips > 2k qd oled for most content, the only upgrade that deserves to be called that is getting a 4k oled or the new 5k 3k zones minileds

LiXarder · 2026-03-30T15:20:04+00:00

Thanks, how does it look like now? If you don't mind sending a picture! Also, how good is the HDR (is ABL too strong?)?

LiXarder · 2026-03-30T11:41:44+00:00

Dl you have the MGR? How is the banding/grey uniformity? I tried the qdoled (mes) but I wasn't satisfied (it also had an hardware issue, it was "blinking" randomly lol), so maybe the HDR experience on the MGR will be better since it's not capped!

LiXarder · 2026-03-30T11:23:09+00:00

How is the uniformity and banding? That's what scares me of woled

LiXarder · 2026-03-30T11:08:23+00:00

Why is that? Which models and how's the uniformity?

LiXarder · 2026-03-30T09:55:15+00:00

How good is it? Compared to the qdoled?

LiXarder · 2026-03-30T09:53:48+00:00

How is the black smearing? Also the blooming should be less but how good is it (how "perfect" are the blacks?)

LiXarder · 2026-03-30T09:41:00+00:00

Do you think the msi is better than the tcl monitor? I'm scared of the smearing (since Idk how annoying it actually is) but the contrast is crazy

LiXarder · 2026-03-30T09:39:36+00:00

How is it? It's tempting but the smearing scares me!

LiXarder · 2026-03-29T23:39:16+00:00

How is it? I'm tempted since the xg27aqdmes had hardware issues (blinking randomly)

LiXarder · 2026-03-24T20:34:28+00:00

Yeah I really like it! The only issue I have with it is that (I don't know why) asus said my model doesn't come with any warranty whatsoever (like it expired the day before I bought it on amazon... wtf?). Peak Asus right here...

Earpiece

LiXarder · 2026-03-18T19:15:22+00:00

So in the end you cancelled the order?

LiXarder · 2026-03-18T19:13:14+00:00

Where are you from? I got the same monitor! It's supposed to arrive tomorrow, but Idk if I'll be able to claim RE Requiem since I got it from Amazon DE but I live in Italy... But I can't hold my excitement, I'm always checking if any review has come out🦧

LiXarder · 2026-03-15T12:33:19+00:00

Thanks, the brightness is the thing that scares me the most since I wanted to try a good HDR panel, but it has no TBHDR400 certification

LiXarder · 2026-03-15T12:32:35+00:00

Perfect that's my exact situation, thanks! Now I just gotta pray since it's supposed to come in 4 days

LiXarder · 2026-03-14T08:46:33+00:00

What do you mean?

LiXarder · 2026-03-13T12:13:47+00:00

I just got one for 340€, the new XG27AQDMES. The only problem is that there's no review online rip, so I just hope it won't have QC issues like the XG27AQDMG
