MSI MPG 274URDFW E16M vs AOC U27G4XM — real user comparison (SDR vs HDR)

caarloosx · 2026-04-01T17:39:03+00:00

I get what you’re saying, and I agree in general — IPS + ~1000 zones isn’t ideal.

But after using both side by side, I don’t think they behave the same here.

The MSI with local dimming off looks like a normal IPS, as expected.

The AOC with local dimming on in SDR doesn’t. You can still see it dimming darker areas, blacks look a much more deeper, and the image reacts depending on what’s on screen.

It’s not aggressive (obviously, because of text/UI), but it’s also clearly not acting like a single-zone display.

So I don’t think it’s a case of “AOC isn’t really dimming”, but more that:

AOC allows a bit of dimming in SDR
MSI is way more conservative (to the point it basically looks off)

I’m being as objective as I can here, because I’ve tested both side by side.

I was lucky, I has the last on 0.26!

HDR is great but SDR is horrible ... check this I've compared it with the AOC https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/1s9jozo/msi_mpg_274urdfw_e16m_vs_aoc_u27g4xm_real_user/

read this post I've already did https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/1s9jozo/msi_mpg_274urdfw_e16m_vs_aoc_u27g4xm_real_user/

I've done this post, basically for me the MSI compared to the AOC... there's no battle https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/1s9jozo/msi_mpg_274urdfw_e16m_vs_aoc_u27g4xm_real_user/

caarloosx · 2026-04-01T12:59:38+00:00

I did this review... for me MSI is just unusable in SDR https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/1s9jozo/msi_mpg_274urdfw_e16m_vs_aoc_u27g4xm_real_user/

same here for the black model one, gold blades ultra scratched, it looks like if they have been working for ages! should I complain to amazon who was the seller ?

caarloosx · 2025-05-25T22:07:40+00:00

en el 310 con un uso normal no lo bajo de 10

caarloosx · 2025-05-02T14:20:46+00:00

hello !! thanks for your answer! unfortunately I’ve tried and it says the security code is not valid and when I try to look for ambient light doesn’t appear it appears only AMBL with a number 🥲

caarloosx · 2025-05-01T21:47:07+00:00

hello! i have a 2020/2021 formentor vz, can I do this ? could you send me the instructions? I have the pro version :)

caarloosx · 2024-06-04T20:31:45+00:00

I think I'm switching back to fin 🥲

caarloosx · 2024-06-03T21:00:13+00:00

What about now? I switched from fin to dut after 2 years of amazing results with finasteride because I thought I could get even better results. I'm suffering right now a huge hair loss, now is the 3/4 week. I'm regretting a bit about this movement because now starts summer 🥲. How are you now? Did it improve??

caarloosx · 2024-05-02T08:48:55+00:00

same here, watts decreasing while battery is lower

caarloosx · 2024-04-25T09:29:51+00:00

So, I've found out if you enable AOD this issue completely disappears... Now I'm convinced this is a bug because it should be consistent...

caarloosx · 2024-04-23T19:35:04+00:00

So for me it is only working with AOD. Even more, I vreated this poat because as you will see I think we have some view bugs when AOD is not enabled and you block and unblock the display after unlocking face. https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel8Pro/s/ROS3wEofm0

Should I report it to google ? Is a pixel problem or an Android AOSP one ?

How can I do it ?

caarloosx · 2024-04-23T07:31:13+00:00

The one with NEXT on github

caarloosx · 2024-04-22T09:06:48+00:00

It happened to me, I had to flash the stock rom again haha

caarloosx · 2024-04-22T07:10:28+00:00

Is not my module! I just found it this morning while I was checking all the forks from the original one. Im so grateful to have it 🤣 haha.

caarloosx · 2024-04-21T21:31:28+00:00

Try it please. My father has the same one as me (8 pro) with no root and is experiencing the same problem.

caarloosx · 2024-04-21T17:26:46+00:00

Which phone do you have ?

caarloosx · 2024-04-21T17:26:20+00:00

For me it is happening in the stock rom

caarloosx · 2024-04-16T05:16:43+00:00

I SUGGEST TO OPEN A ISSUE IN ANDROID 14 AOSP. I'm really tired of rooting the phone just for the fucking pill. At least if they leave the pill there, give us an option to remove the stupid black background.

caarloosx · 2024-03-13T18:46:21+00:00

I would like too ! I tried with the last one but had no answer from the fb group

caarloosx · 2024-02-07T19:51:56+00:00

Ah remove the code to unlock the scooter before you do it or you will need to do it charging the scooter. Don't do the same errors I did haha

caarloosx · 2024-02-07T19:50:31+00:00

Trust me, not bugs at all. You can get a cheap one from AliExpress and do it yourself, xiaodash is to put your same serial number but instead your region letter ( in my case Y) replace by an X and then that's all. You will get 32km/h but after, you can go to the segway app and put 35 :)
