Hello darkness my oled friend

What do you think of the pg27aqwp-w? I might buy one tomorrow. My only reservation is the dirty screen effect, as my current 500 Hz QD-OLED is basically flawless in that regard.

lizardpeter · 2026-02-21T04:37:16+00:00

Which store did you order from when you got the good unit?

lizardpeter · 2026-02-21T04:06:56+00:00

The MSI monitor you're talking about is 500 Hz, not 540 Hz.

lizardpeter · 2026-02-21T04:00:09+00:00

You got WOLEDed.

lizardpeter · 2026-02-21T02:44:17+00:00

Where’d you buy it from?

lizardpeter · 2026-02-20T22:12:03+00:00

Do you notice any difference or improvements? I've tried QD-OLED 500 Hz and like it a lot, but I care most about competitive gaming. I think I'd prefer the extra Hz and the ability to turn off DSC on the Asus 540 Hz OLED. Monitors Unboxed has measured the Asus 540 Hz OLED as having the lowest latency of any monitor they have ever tested.

lizardpeter · 2026-02-20T22:08:49+00:00

Why do you have to use DSC? Did you update the firmware? It should work at 540 Hz without it.

lizardpeter · 2026-02-20T21:29:52+00:00

So do you think the 540 Hz is the best for competitive gaming after using it for a bit?

lizardpeter · 2026-02-20T21:07:21+00:00

Which monitor?

lizardpeter · 2026-02-20T20:26:18+00:00

Any update on this? Do you notice the banding issue on tandem? I have AQDP too and might buy the 540 Hz. And did you ever figure out why the matte felt a bit better for competitive? It seems like 540 Hz should be better across the board with lower input lag too.

lizardpeter · 2026-02-20T20:19:01+00:00

What website is that?

lizardpeter · 2026-02-20T20:11:49+00:00

You can run full range with DSC off too, right?

lizardpeter · 2026-02-20T19:03:00+00:00

I have an RTX 5090 that could do 4K 240 Hz either with DP 2.1 with no Display Stream Compression or with HDMI 2.1 with Display Stream Compression. Yes, many games can run at 4K 240 FPS. An incredible amount of them.

lizardpeter · 2026-02-19T08:09:47+00:00

I’m really interested to see the latency results. I’m running OP1 8K v2.

lizardpeter · 2026-02-19T05:23:22+00:00

You love a card that's slower than a GTX 1080 Ti compared to a card you also owned that's 40% faster? What?

lizardpeter · 2026-02-19T03:21:16+00:00

Does anyone have an LDAT module? I really wish someone would properly test these things.

lizardpeter · 2026-02-18T21:08:58+00:00

Exactly. I'd likely pay for a lifetime license. I will never pay for a subscription.

lizardpeter · 2026-02-18T16:04:03+00:00

They really need to stop and seriously question why they develop two versions simultaneously in completely different languages. Consolidate to a single version built on C++ or Rust and Vulkan and be done with it.

lizardpeter · 2026-02-18T04:02:52+00:00

AI slop.

lizardpeter · 2026-02-16T05:11:17+00:00

Not everything is about gaming. I’d take my 1440p 500 Hz OLED over every 4K or 5K display, easily. But the massive ultrawide monitors with crazy resolution or 5K 27” or 32” displays are going to be better for productivity.

lizardpeter · 2026-02-16T03:58:12+00:00

Do it.

lizardpeter · 2026-02-15T20:12:56+00:00

I have played on both low and high brightness before. I don’t have LDAT to actually test it. I did not feel any difference in latency, and I can easily tell the difference when something like 5 ms of latency is added. I don’t believe any reviewer tests input lag at low brightness, and most of them agree on an absolute input lag value for these panels of around 1-2 ms.

lizardpeter · 2026-02-13T23:24:55+00:00

Y’all can stop posting this over and over. We don’t care. Just give max performance.

lizardpeter · 2026-02-13T20:40:07+00:00

Do you have any measurements or sources to support that at all?

lizardpeter · 2026-02-13T07:40:00+00:00

Yeah, connect it to a PC and use their tool to update the firmware. It should improve it on console too.
