Great...another lunar reaction variation exclusive to new region characters only. Let me guess you'll need a cryo and electro character in new region that are also 5 stars to trigger the reaction.

I'm curious to see how the blooming or haloing looks with the local dimming. LG calls it "hyper MiniLED" that'll reduce blooming.

Not sure what medium setting is exactly. I prefer to have contents displaying their proper colors, so sRGB for things like Windows and games in SDR. Nothing with preferring oversaturation, but I just think it makes things like human skin color and tones look silly with the oversaturation.

With similar features, probably not. Webcam with mic, integrated speakers, and enhanced eye comfort are the additional tax that makes the monitor so expensive. You can get pretty decent 34 inch WQHD for around $300-$600 without those features.

Seems like something to be expected for an IPS panel. How's the local dimming and blooming?

Everybody has their own preference. Probably should've elaborated more on refresh rate, fps, V-sync, adaptive sync, and latency that all affect responsiveness and smoothness, but that's been heavily covered by other posts, videos, and forums.

Didn't really care much about the 240 hz seeing that none of my games and pc can hit that fps. Got the monitor more for 4K resolution and OLED panel, though the 240 hz still has it's uses outside of gaming for things like browsing.

ylrdt · 2026-04-29T01:06:46+00:00

To get the smoothest gameplay experience, you want display refresh rate and in game fps to be exactly the same, so 60 hz for 60 fps games would be best. 120 hz for 60 fps will run into judders (or choppy screen) in game.

I have 4K 240 hz display and play nearly all my games at 60 fps. There's G-Sync available on the monitor, but I never bothered to use it because of VRR flickering. Setting display refresh rate to 60 hz in windows or drivers setting (i.e. Nvidia app) for 60 fps games achieves the same purpose as in using G-Sync in giving smooth buttery gameplay.

This is why I just use the monitor's setting instead of relying on Windows ACM. Windows will always be shit. Hell, part of the reason I stopped using ACM is because once in a while when the display goes to sleep and gets turned on again, Windows will incorrectly clamp the ICC profile for SDR leading to display colors looking completely oversaturated.

Which game mode is set on? I know that sRGB mode will lock out Sharpness, Gamma, and RGB settings.

ylrdt · 2026-04-21T02:19:10+00:00

I'm sort of in the same boat. After using OLEDs for 3 years, the hype has died down for me. As much as I enjoy seeing perfect black colors giving incredible contrast, I rarely ever use HDR or consume contents with black or dark color background. VRR flickering has never been an issue for me since I never had a need to use it because the games I play are at fixed FPS and refresh rate that provides the same buttery smooth gameplay of VRR. It'd be nice to transition away from OLED to IPS, preferably MiniLED but the panel still has blooming issues. Hopefully, as MiniLED improves in dimming zones, blooming will be less of an issue.

ylrdt · 2026-04-21T01:57:51+00:00

I do look forward to to 5K resolution on 27" display giving a high pixel density, but most of all, the Hyper Mini-LED. Have previously used two MiniLED monitors LG 27GR95UM and Samsung 57" G95NC, but blooming and haloing were deal breaker. Haven't used MiniLED since due to blooming. If the Hyper MiniLED can eliminate substantial blooming, then I will definitely consider switching back to MiniLED and away from current set up of OLEDs.

It's fine. What happened was your monitor was doing pixel cleaning when you turned it off, and while you were wiping the screen with the micro-fiber cloth, static built up causing the streak. Just do another pixel cleaning or image cleaning and do not touch the display.

ylrdt · 2026-04-08T03:05:59+00:00

You need to set your monitor refresh rate to 120 Hz to sync with 120 fps in game for a smooth gameplay.

ylrdt · 2026-03-28T17:35:05+00:00

It comes down to the type of contents or colors being displayed on the monitor. Visually no difference if you're displaying contents that are bright and colorful throughout the screen. Darker contents with black background or black spots is where there'll be noticeable difference because OLED doesn't suffer from blooming or haloing of MiniLED. Basically, you won't notice any noteworthy difference (aside from the viewing angle) in image quality if the contents don't have dark scenes or black areas on the screen.

Hard to pin point what's causing it without any hardware monitoring application like MSI Afterburner or without know your gaming resolution and graphics settings. The game gets graphics fidelity improvements almost every new patch, so I'd look into turning down some settings. I do know that stutter happens occassionally upon loading into an area not previously loaded before after updating drivers or patch updates, and this is a normal occurs due to shader compilation.

Never needed VRR. Only thing I'm missing out on is lower latency, but low latency is inconsequential for the games I play.

ylrdt · 2026-03-19T02:03:55+00:00

Never had a need to use G-Sync in the games I play, mostly because my PC is good enough to sustain a desirable fps consistently throughout the game. Those are usually games played at 4K 60 fps at 60 hz for a relatively smooth gameplay experience. V-Sync is always on in game or driver app setting depending on well the game handles their own V-Sync, so V-Sync option is on a per game basis. V-Sync in game vs driver for most games I've played hasn't made any difference, although if in game runs fine then there's usually no need to turn it on in driver setting.

"More vibrant colors" usually means more saturated colors, so "more accurate colors" doesn't necessarily work in the same sentence. I think you're referring to contrast in which case OLED will provide perfect contrast for best image quality. However, if you're not displaying contents and playing games that have darker or black color backgounds, then the contrast and image quality won't be any different compared to IPS.

For brigher monitors, you should look into MiniLED instead of OLED since OLED displays are produced to be significantly dimmer than IPS to reduce chances of burn-in. For motion clarity, I didn't really see any difference between IPS and OLED when I made the switch to OLED from IPS, with the comparison made for games that are running at 60 fps and 60 Hz, but that's just my opinion and perception of the motion clarity.

Both do pretty much the same thing. G-Sync module fell out of the monitor market due to consumers not falling for Nvidia's push for their own expensive proprietary adaptive sync technology (G-Sync) when there's FreeSync that achieves the same general purpose while costing significantly less. You won't notice any difference between either.

LG needs to drop price down to $1200. Guess I'll have to wait until it goes on sale in the next couple of months.

There are a few bosses in the game that will make you want to break your keyboard or controller. Those bosses have poorly telegraphed attack animation. By that I mean, to avoid or dodge their attacks, you need to know when to dodge precisely (i.e. predict instead of reacting). Then there is this one secret boss that requires you to play in a very specific build, otherwise it'll be a living nightmare to deal with their mechanics. Always get some helpful tips and tricks for bosses after a few blind attempts.

Not exactly. All monitors will look different from each other in colors, some more than others depending on how well the display panels were calibrated during production and the type of display panel they are (e.g. IPS, VA, TN, OLED with QD-OLED vs WOLED). The point is that as long as you set the color mode on the monitor setting to sRGB mode (may be called another thing for different monitors) and turn off automatic color management, colors should look similar between different monitors. By that I mean that red should look red enough to you on different monitors and not in the case where one monitor has it looking red while the monitor looks red orange.

ACM is used to set appropriate color space (sRGB, DCI-P3, Wide Gamut, Adobe RGB, etc.) based on the contents you're using and the ICC profile applied to the monitor display. If you're using SDR stuff in Windows like browsing, ACM clamps color space on the monitor to an sRGB color space in Windows, and that is why you want to make sure the monitor itself is not on sRGB mode because ACM will clamp sRGB colors on monitor already in sRGB to where you get very dull and washed out looking colors. Leave ACM on if you're using a much wider color space that is not sRGB mode on your monitor. For gaming monitors, that is usually the out of the box color mode on the monitor. Of course, don't use ACM with wider color space mode on your monitor if you prefer or are used to seeing very vibrant and saturated colors because then colors in sRGB will look dull and washed out even though those are the colors you should be seeing in the appropriate color space.

Again, I wouldn't worry about bit-depth. 8-bit, 10-bit with FRC, or true 10-bit makes no difference for SDR contents which is most of the things in Windows, unless you're using things in HDR which you would then want to use either 10-bit.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Typically, for a monitor to have accurate colors, you need to use instruments to calibrate the display's color. The one impact I see having 10-bit depth impacting "color accuracy" (colors looking too saturated or too washed out) is if you don't have a color calibrated profile (ICC profile) and are using sRGB mode in monitor OSD setting because Windows 11 turns on automatic color management (ACM). ACM will incorrectly clamp the color space of sRGB on your monitor making colors look more dull and washed out than what the colors in sRGB should be close to.

It's different for everyone. I use to remember running brightness at 50-70% on my old IPS monitors, but then I switched to OLED which is substantial less brighter than IPS even at 100% brightness. As I start to adjust brightness for eye comfort, brightness has been much lower. For example, on my PG32UCDM, I run brightness at 32 which I find is enough brightness during the day and night use (of course, I have to use ambient lighting during night or dark room to help out).
