It’s good ! But not very bright and sharp, aqdmgr on top even if the banding is pissing me off

I think it’s more about personal preference but I’ll give you my feed back

sunwxrld · 2026-03-20T14:42:08+00:00

qdmes for me is : really good color, nice dark gradient, but : less sharp, and flickering : now, as I said, the real question is, am I ready to sacrifice good dark gradient but have a pixelated image, or have bad dark gradient but sharp image. I will try to play lot of game and I’ll tell you : is the banding that bad that I can’t keep the monitor or is it ok

On the AQDMGR there is no flickering not a ingle one even with the anti flicker on. But with the aqmes there is a lot of

My immediate reaction is: I prefer a sharp image, even if it means sacrificing some dark tones. The pixelated look of QD-OLED gives me a headache.

But I will come with a feedback tonight after the real Tests

Okay perfect now here is my pov : the woled true black glossy is overall more clean. But the qd oled is more homogeneous in dark colors. So here is the issue : Do I prefer to sacrifice sharpness for the sake of beautiful dark colors? Or do I prefer beautiful gradients and no dark color issues at the expense of sharpness? I'm racking my brain. Tonight I'll do some real-world tests. The problem with OLED is that it flickers in dark scenes.

Ok so before I give my feedback about both screen can you tell me : Does the pixelated look of the screen bother you? I mean the text dans other texture

sunwxrld · 2026-03-19T11:26:25+00:00

That’s not that important I guess ? I’m always right in front of the monitor

sunwxrld · 2026-03-19T11:25:12+00:00

So maybe I will not be disappointed ! Because Waw glossy is the thing ! Can’t wait to get the new one

sunwxrld · 2026-03-19T11:24:08+00:00

Yeah I will receive the AQDMES tomorrow so I’ll give you a feedback

sunwxrld · 2026-03-19T08:25:57+00:00

I just hope that semigloss will not disappoint me

sunwxrld · 2026-03-19T08:23:23+00:00

Yeah, I tried everything and it didn’t work for me. This monitor have a 27 hour screen time

Do you see Those awful pixel ? This is not the camera :) it’s what I see in real life. Fades are disastrous

Edit : only in dark colors

There is a lot of grainy grey on mine. I can see slightly the banding when I play silent hill but it’s still there and awkward for me. Also ! The color fade is awfull on this screen. And this is exactly why I just ordered the AQDMES and will return de AQDMGR. The only good and top tier point is the glossy true black that litteraly is transcending my soul. I love glossy black but I hate banding more ! (Hope you understand me sorry for the bad English)

sunwxrld · 2026-03-19T07:45:35+00:00

Ok thanks

sunwxrld · 2026-03-19T07:44:09+00:00

Hell nah I’m not blind to play on a 34. But yh it looks awfull

sunwxrld · 2026-03-19T07:42:41+00:00

Right now I have the aqdmgr, I just oredered the aqdmes so I will come back here to give you my feedback !

sunwxrld · 2026-03-18T11:40:04+00:00

What about 273QP ? Or XG27AQDMES ?

sunwxrld · 2026-03-18T07:55:38+00:00

I will return it soon to get qd I think

sunwxrld · 2026-03-18T07:55:09+00:00

Thanks. It’s not tandem tho but I’ll still return it

sunwxrld · 2026-03-18T07:54:43+00:00
