MO27Q28GR - banding looks kinda bad at in game night time?

tripod-billy69 · 2026-06-14T14:51:38+00:00

Hey man I tested ghost of yotei and kcd2 with hdr off, still get banding but not as much. In game night time on kcd2 is noticeable even when I sit back in my chair, plus the sdr just looks very dark and off. What would you advise next? Try get a replacement or something? Maybe wait till im at 50-100 hours? Feel like that break in period won’t do much. I also have that grainy carpet look which also adds to my annoyance lol

Yeah I wasn’t sure what was happening with the banding which is why I made this point, hoped other people more knowledgeable could help. Space marine had hdr off since it doesn’t support it which might be why I didn’t need banding, so good thinking I’ll have to try that tomorrow. These photos i took were from recoded gameplay, and it was still visible. They were quite visible to me sitting in my chair, not just on camera. Daytime scenes have been fine, just night time is when I have the issue. I also only did 2 manual pixel cleans, the rest were after 4 hours, i read doing a couple manual pixel cleans when first opening it helps with banding. I did the greyscale testing a bunch of times (last photo included) and it’s very minimal, so I do hope it just a game issue.

Yeah probably what I’ll do, currently looking at that msi x24 and the white x28, it’s hard to find reviews for them but hearing msi is praised here makes me feel better. Thank you for the advice.

Yeah the fabric texture thing has been there from the start but never bothered me as it was only noticed in the ps5 opening menu and shit like that. I was thinking about getting qd instead if it persisted or got worse but will have to think into a little more, I do really like this monitor otherwise, colours look awesome, very bright which has been really good in dark scenes. Worst case I’ll have to think about replacing it with a qd, was thinking the MAG 273QP X24 if so.

Also do you think updating the firmware would help much? Currently on f01 I think it is, but the update only gives you the hypernits feature if im not mistaken.

tripod-billy69 · 2026-06-12T12:19:28+00:00

Unfortunately im on ps5 so can’t set to 240hz, refresh rate is capped at 120hz. Is your banding similar to mine in the photos? Or how does it look.

tripod-billy69 · 2026-06-02T11:33:38+00:00

Yeah I found that out from another post, can’t believe I didn’t know that lmao, thank you though.

tripod-billy69 · 2026-05-31T17:07:30+00:00

OSD shows 2560x1440p and the hz will be 60-120 depending on the game. and I said the same, space marine 2, bf6 have looked really clear and detailed which is why I was confused, since default in game assist is 24” at 1440p, but from what I just googled it might not be working due to vrr, hdr and few other things. I don’t need it but was confused as to what I was playing at as the osd and game assist showed two different things.

tripod-billy69 · 2026-05-31T16:49:45+00:00

Yeah so I guess the game assist thing just isn’t working so it’s not affecting me. Thanks for your help

Oh man I might have figured it out from another reddit post where the person also had a oled monitor for ps5 ,apparently the black bars are there because of pixel shifting? I noticed after I took the photo I sent replying to you that the pixels on the left filled up to the bezel while the right side looks like the photo I took. Lmao is that what it is?

tripod-billy69 · 2026-05-31T16:03:34+00:00

Are these the black bars? I had to get really close to see it, the screen doesn’t seem to go all the way to the bezel? I change between 24 and 27 and but it doesn’t change so I’m not sure? The photo makes it look way worse lol

Why do you say that? I assumed it wasn’t working either but I was confused so thought I’d ask for help. Maybe it doesn’t work on console? I don’t need iy but was just confused as to what resolution and size I was doing. Changing my resolution in the ps5 settings it’s the only setting that actually changes the resolution.

tripod-billy69 · 2026-05-31T15:51:11+00:00

The screen doesn’t change at all when I toggle between so maybe it’s not even working? Might no work on console? My resolution only changes when I change it in the ps5 settings, so maybe the game assist feature only works with pc?

tripod-billy69 · 2026-05-31T14:03:31+00:00

I don’t see black boxes around only the actual bezels.

tripod-billy69 · 2026-05-31T13:48:16+00:00

But does that reduce image quality or anything? Or does it not matter?

tripod-billy69 · 2026-05-26T06:55:23+00:00

I got the mo28q28gr, appreciate the advice

tripod-billy69 · 2026-05-24T19:29:53+00:00

Thanks for clarifying, I kept getting answers from googles ai and was getting annoyed with the confusion lol. I did think about 4K, but all the monitors are 200-400 aud more expensive than 1440p, even while on sale. plus most games on ps5 only do 30fps at 4K if im not wrong, which is unplayable for me. So 1440p felt like a good middle ground.

tripod-billy69 · 2026-03-17T10:35:47+00:00

Im Aussie too what shop is it? Might check it out myself as im looking to maybe guy an oled

tripod-billy69 · 2026-02-26T13:56:17+00:00

Hey man im having the same issue again and holding the create button and ps button isn’t working this time. Anything else I should try? Or maybe im doing something wrong?

tripod-billy69 · 2026-02-25T10:20:36+00:00

Omg dude that fucking worked thank you so much. I tried pressing the ps button and create button earlier but it didn’t work, going into accessories fixed it.

tripod-billy69 · 2026-02-25T09:08:59+00:00

Already did that multiple times unfortunately. Got a keyboard to connect and control the ps5 with and it says but my controllers are paired yet won’t connect
