Yay more non-OLED monitors being reviewed.

Just need more mini-LED now.

[pietroalessandrini]

We need more mini LED monitors reviews!

[colin]

I saw a monitor on Amazon called the koorui 27E3QK. Supposedly 1440p, 240hz for like 350cad. I would love to see a review of that from someone trustworthy like you guys

[Kalyptic]

Hey man thanks for doing these video's, you're like the only channel that does these monitor reviews that I trust as well as you cover all the points one will need when looking to make a purchase. I'm just here waiting for the next batch of monitors from all the bands, hopefully by years end or early next year!

The Innocn 32M2V never got any proper reviews and the price has gone down a lot. I think it could be a great mini led monitor to review.

[alexjones]

Need a review of the 32M2V.. 1152 zone, mini led IPS 144hz 4k monitor for sub $600 as of right now, $550 on Amazon.

Thanks for the review. I had dead pixels on 2 LG 27GR93U monitors from Amazon, and had to return them. Ended up back ordering this Asus XG27UCS instead. Should be shipping out soon. Hopefully no issues with this monitor.

[kaydenkiki]

Reviews on any and all hmdi 2.1 gaming monitors are much appreciated

[ra]

waiting for the review on MSI MPG 274URF QD. Couldn't decide between these two

[Stoic_Rational_Buddhist]

ten of us want to see the AOC Q27G4X 1440p 180hz value champ reviewed! Is way less than $200.

[TitoContigooo]

Hoping to see the LG 27GS95QE review. I really enjoyed the 27GR review last year!

[worker]

I really appreciate the non-OLED reviews, most of the time my monitor is used in an office setting with some light gaming on the side. While I do enjoy OLED as a technology the chance of burn-in on an expensive monitor is a deal breaker for me as I tend to use my monitors for a long time, 5 years +. Maybe this is fear is unfounded under normal usage with dark mode and my screen turning of after a while of inactivity, but who knows.

[PcGamingForFun]

bravo 👏 : blur busters ufo test is by far the best indicator of a display motion quality. please keep it in all reviews 👌

[LiLToDDiEWoDDiE]

Wow, so they just caught up with what the Gigabyte M28U offered since 4 years ago.
Good job ASUS.

Hey, any thoughts on the INNOCN 32M2V-B as an option for buyers on a budget still wanting to max out their gpu potential? Mini-led, 4k, 144hz, 32". I've learnt a lot from watching your reviews over the last year, and also searched any mention of this particular one, until I saw it for 38% off, on prime day weekend, so 500 eur from amazon germany, 540 eur delivered to Ireland, so I had to quickly pull the trigger since other monitors with these alleged specs are still so expensive in the EU unfortunately because of import duties, taxes, shipping... I also had my eye on qd-oled monitors but they were over 2x the price. I also needed to avoid burn-in because I like to keep using my stuff for a long time for like 16 hours a day including productivity/non-gaming stuff... Now I need to know if I blundered to teach me a lesson, but I'm hoping youll agree that for the tight budget I had, it was hopefully the best choice. Upgraded from a 21.5" Dell SX2210 released in 2009 lol. Literally 1080p, 60 hz, so I'm excited to see any difference when it arrives.

[SinnfullDuck]

Any chance at reviewing the KTC M32P10? Id love to see some attention guven to lesser known brands to help drive competition. All we ever get is asus, lg etc oled panels.

[eliann]

Well, probably the next monitor is the XG27WCS VA brother? Or the 270 IPS 280 Hz va variants?

[GAMarine]

Bought one recently and like it. I which companies made a 30" size. 27 can seem small and 32" can be big sometimes for desks.

[OGYouTubeEnjoyer]

I got a couple of the 25" 1080 versions and I love them.

[aaz]

I just bought the Dell G3223Q last week for $420 USD. Very impressed. Would love to see your review of it
