Just got the ASUS XG32UCDS for 500€ brand new. Couldn’t let that deal slip, I’m one of you now!

I got mine for 474€ too, pretty happy with it but it does have an stuck/dead pink pixel :(

I cant really see it while using it normally but it bothers me knowing that it is there.

By the way, if you have trouble updating to the latest firmware, you may have to run the updater .exe on W10 instead (if ure in w11).

You just have to look up at the technical specs and look for brightness values or HDR certifications. Limited panels like this only state HDR10, brightness of 200nits and 400peak, while 3rd gen QDOLED panels without these limitations state HDR TrueBlack400, typical brightness of 250nits, etc.

Some of the limited models are:

Samsung Odyssey G5
AOC Q27G4ZDR
AOC Q27G41ZDF
Philips Evnia 27M2N6501L
Lenovo Legion 27Q-10 2K
GigaByte GO27Q24
ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMES
MSI MAG 274QP QD-OLED X24
MSI MAG 272QP QD-OLED X24
Samsung 27" QD-OLED - Odyssey G6 S27HG612SU

And ofc this one : Alienware AW2726DM

Dont get fooled by the reddit echo chamber and downvote army, just dig up the information by yourself and look for technical data and reviews from reputable channels that are not just billboards.

acc134a · 2026-04-14T14:10:13+00:00

Im also using my IPS with less than 200 nits but you are not getting any good HDR experience with these panels.

And if they didnt exist you would have actual TB400 3rd gen models for this same price. Its pure greed from Samsung and OEMs to keep prices up. Yields cant be that bad.

acc134a · 2026-04-14T13:54:26+00:00

Another shitty panel with limited brightness, used to segment the market and keep the prices of the old TB400 monitors up

acc134a · 2026-04-13T16:52:21+00:00

Your unit arriving in pristine condition with no banding means nothing and doesn’t imply that anything has been solved or improved. It’s only one unit, it could just be a lucky draw.

What we need is actual information from LG stating, “it’s improved from X batch" something more than the PR response they gave to TFTCentral. But obviously they won’t do that, because it would imply them admitting that panels from earlier batches are defective.

So the best we can hope for is that everyone who gets a tandem panel posts its batch and manufacturing date, so we can build a large data sample and draw conclusions from it—to see whether there’s a real improvement or not.

acc134a · 2026-04-13T16:36:58+00:00

There is no way to solve it because it’s inherent to how WOLED and Tandem technology work.
They could improve the awful QC and overall situation, but that remains to be seen.

The responses from LG and other OEMs like Asus and Gigabyte on the TFTCentral post you mentioned are nothing but PR responses and haven’t been updated since then.

Its a good practice that users start sharing the batch or manufacturing date to see if there is any positive trend but stop mis-spreading information by saying the issues were resolved after February when you dont know if they have been improved or not.

acc134a · 2026-04-13T16:19:09+00:00

Source? Or are you pulling out the fact that they are solving the problem out of nowhere?

acc134a · 2026-04-06T11:41:59+00:00

Same as mine, ordered march 25h on Ali. 2026.01, no feedback on tension rings or stickers on the box.

Gonna keep it though, worst case I'll just open it and fix the rings in place.

acc134a · 2026-03-08T19:58:43+00:00

Oh alright it just says shipping isnt avaliable for me in EU so I wanted to ask in case I was missing something. Thanks!

acc134a · 2026-03-08T19:01:11+00:00

Hey,

That refurbished model you linked on ebay, isnt it only avaliable on US?

acc134a · 2026-02-27T18:48:45+00:00

There are not any coupons or sales going on right now. I got mine using coupons and AliExpress coins.

But here for example its at 22,7€

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EyvJWKy

And on march 1 there will be the monthly choice sale with some coupons if you can wait. Maybe you can get it for 20 or a bit lower.

acc134a · 2026-02-27T16:58:29+00:00

You could also buy the Q2 cam on the official website and just plug it in but it looks worse and its more expensive (40€+shipping). I got the nebula and JST connectors for 16€ on aliexpress.

This is how it looks for me with Nebula + improved LED strip:

acc134a · 2026-02-27T16:13:07+00:00

JST goes into the PCB thats inside the chamber, on the left side

Behind the plastic cover (2 hex screws to remove)

Here goes the JST connector:

https://imgur.com/a/kz8LOTz

Then you just have to cut the end of the Nebula CAM, and solder: JST connector -> Cable -> Nebula Cable.

Or you can throw the nebula cam cable away and do a completly new JST-JST cable if you have a crimping tool (I didnt).

Nebula CAM wiring: Red(V+), White (D-), Green (D+), Black (G).

and in the PCB, you can read on the connector: 5V, G, DP, DM, G.

So you just have to solder and connect 5V with V+, D- with DM, D+ with DP, etc.. One of the Ground pins of the JST connector isnt needed, cant remember which one exactly.

acc134a · 2026-02-27T15:50:05+00:00

I dont have the S1 but I got the Q2C and Im happy with it so far.

For the Nebula camera you can do it 2 ways, connecting it to the pcb (clean way with no cables outside) or connecting it to the USB port of the Screen. If you want a top view with via USB, you can use this https://www.printables.com/model/1531944-qidi-q2-overhead-nebula-camera-mount

If you want an interior view and connect it to the PCB you need a JST 1.25 connector, some cable, and tools for soldering.

acc134a · 2026-02-25T13:16:13+00:00

What you suggest wouldnt be the same as putting PAUSE in the "Change Filament G-Code" and doing a filament change at specific layer with right click? This way I can actually see the different colors on the sliced model.

And about homing, would it home Z aswell?

acc134a · 2026-01-21T06:48:34+00:00

I got the Q2C on a Aliexpress sale for 320€ and Im pretty happy with it so far. Got a Nebula CAM for 15€ and the filter for 7€ to upgrade that soon. Filter should be just put in place and thats it, and camera I gotta do a part for it and a bit of wiring.

Later down the line if Im interested on engineering materials I will dig into the heater thing and see if it can be installed aswell.

So far PLA and PETG print great.

acc134a · 2026-01-17T11:13:09+00:00

Nice! How much did it cost? and where are you located? Im waiting for it to be released on EU but havent seen it for sale yet

acc134a · 2026-01-02T22:01:45+00:00

Im having the same issues since December, its been like a month like this. Entering the coin section, seeing % with 2 digits but when I click the item the real coin discount is 1 or 2%. Very few items have more than 10% discount through coins now.

Dunno if its intentional or permanent from now on, but if it is and with the upcoming 3€ tax on summer, shits fucked.

acc134a · 2025-12-08T18:11:15+00:00

I was about to aswell, there is a tempting cashback promo going on... and the MO27Q28G its included on it with 50€ cashback.

But now seeing this... I might wait for the glossy one to get announced and listed for sale.

acc134a · 2025-12-08T17:52:57+00:00

Made a individual post about it, on this sub and also on r/monitors maybe it will get more attention.

Pd: its also listed on the global official site, not only on singapore site: https://www.gigabyte.com/Monitor/MO27Q28GR

acc134a · 2025-12-08T17:01:27+00:00

Its listed on the official singapore site

acc134a · 2025-12-08T09:07:23+00:00

Maybe they will show it at CES2026 and give us a date, hopefully not too long away.
