Oled screens are moving fast. Asus & MSI are going hard. Hope to see 360hz oled price to come down.

anyone done MSI monitor rma before?

So while trying to figure out the rma i was checking out other monitors.

This was a nice oled monitor by gigabyte
https://www.tech-critter.com/gigabyte-mo27q...monitor-review/


But then i read here to wait for the upcoming model
https://www.reddit.com/r/OLED_Gaming/commen...igabyte_mo27q2/

another cheaper oled (its still expensive. but cheaper as in relative to the other oled offerings currently)

was this AOC
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/aoc/...n-pro-ag276qzd2
But it has some cons. So i thought the gigabyte was better  hmm.gif

If you don't want to pay 2-3k, then you have to look at ips monitor for 27'' 1440p
*
There is also Alien AW2725D 280Hz OLED for < rm2.4 (other 240Hz oleds are around this price too.. and 360Hz or more expensive)

https://www.dell.com/en-my/shop/alienware-2...tor-accessories

you know Dell warranty is good.

Not really sure 280 vs 240 is much difference.

But what's different is the next gen LG OLED display for the upcoming gigabyte OLED priced about $499 usd for. 27'' 1440p using the latest tandem OLED LG display tech

Whereas oleds right now go for $700 +

Also tech improvements for better brightness, less risk for burn in, more durable, less heat generated less power consumption.

Release july-august 2025

like qd-oled, the $500 4th gen WOLED is also 280Hz. the alien 280Hz qd-oled is the first to arrive in Malaysia. soon, other manufacturers will follow suit.

oleds are moving fast.. 500Hz 1440p from Samseng and MSI are also available here.

would like to see 4k @ 360Hz in the future.

Sub 2k qd oled has entered the market. Acer x27u looks promising. But no much review

X27U X2? nice. oleds becoming more common and affordable.

If the price keeps trending downward it might be a good time for me to go OLED next year brows.gif

Eventually it will. I do believe sub-rm2k 1440p oleds will be common.

I skipped 1440p and went straight from 1080p ips to 4k oled. I cant downgrade anymore lol. Too big of a difference.

what monitor you bought?

MSi 272URX. I cannot tahan lol.

But honestly though, I could probably get away with Gigabyte MO27U2 (cheaper, same panel but with DP1.4).

im tempted to go OLED

but thinking about extra cares needed and my living room is kinda bright most of time

i think i will go with Mini LED
*
it depends on what type of games you play. if you play FPS a lot, you will enjoy OLED.

otherwise Mini-LED will do. but not many Mini-LED in the market and the price is also not cheap.

I'm also wondering the same coz this seems to be the cheapest OLED monitor out there now. To be able to get sub 1.8k for OLED is quite tempting. Just hoping for some reviews to appear soon.
*
very little info for now. looking at the pics, seems like the spec is very basic? like no USB ports.

Actually those between 2-2.5k all mostly don't have usb c connectivity. AOC, MSI, dahua all don't think I saw one at that price range that has it. At least this has HDMI 2.1, but not like I'll use it anyway 😅.

Newer 280hz oled do come with usb ports and some have usb-c power delivery.

Those wondering if the qd OLED 27'' 1440p 280hz panel for the https://www.gigabyte.com/Monitor/MO27Q2A. Has gen 4 similar to the mo27u2, I don't think it does. Because they omitted it on their product page. They wouldn't be keeping quiet about it otherwise. But the 4k 280hz panel mo27u2 this one confirm has it.

So not sure for qd OLED r they gonna bring gen4 for that or will.woled gen4 be the only option for that this year for the 280hz 1440p resolution panels.

So if ur waiting for.the mo27q2a for that don't bother. Only thing I saw change was 280hz 🙄
*
you are right. all 280Hz qd-oleds are basically boosted gen3 240Hz (oc'ed to 280Hz). and if you notice, 260hz is no longer being produced, except for Alienware.

240Hz still good for most people who dont play competitive shooters. 280Hz is also good because the price is similar. but if you jump to higher Hz like 500, the price will be the same as 4k 240Hz lol.

Any advise for qd OLED semi glossy placement. The light source coming through this window behind where I place monitor. Is this too close to window? Will I see the nasty magenta in this lighting condition?

Or should I move the gaming desk further away from wall will that help? Or not needed

user posted image

Usually very bright around 8am to 12 afternoon. Rest of the day brightness not bad using blinds. With lighting off the lighting in room is still softly bright but not glaringly so.

Is that ok for this qd OLED monitor 🤔

At night I got a light stand I can face it away from the monitor so that won't be an issue. I use a smart iot lighbulb led so I can adjust the brightness and color so I can fine tune the brightness in room even more

Hopefully I didn't make wrong choice going qd OLED + semi glossy 😅

Fyi I use a monitor arm so I can place the monitor further back from my face. It's very convenient. Also some speaker stands.for better ear positioning for the edifier qr65 speakers

I use felt large desk mat for gaming mouse but it's hard to clean. Thinking about replacing it with something else not sure yet. Maybe leather? 🤔
*
It's perfect. My desk placement is similar to yours, where the the window is facing the back of the monitor (msi 272urx). No issue with reflection and the qd-oled panel hardly goes purple lol. I'm glad i went with a semi-gloss screen.

Use of monitor arm is also good choice. I'll be getting mine soon.

as for cleaning (physically) the monitor screen, early on i notice a dirt smudge on the panel. so i damped a fiber cloth, rinse it as much as i can so its damp and not totally wet dripping. then i try to wipe off the smudge. But it simply left a smear. So i took another micro fiber and did a wipe to dry the water trail.
So i'm doubtful just plain water and micro fiber cloth enough.
Is wet wipes doable or will that ruin the screen?  hmm.gif

Boss.. DON'T use water.
and try not to use normal microfibre towel, especially the waffle type.

Use 70% Ethanol with ultrafine microfibre. This is what is recommended by the QD-OLED maker, samsung. it is also recommended by Gigabyte and MSI.

ideally, food-grade Ethanol (pure Ethyl, no mixture with other substance)

Personally, I use 75% Ethanol and spray on glass microfibre cloth (the one we use to clean eye glasses). The ethanol small bottle can be found in Shopee. No marks left on the panel.

The glass microfiber helps to clean the smudge.

This one:

Or this:
https://my.shp.ee/8NAQyEd

Spray on the microfibre towel first, and then wipe the screen. Not recommended to spray direct coz it might drip.
