£1300/1400 EUR = $950 (no tax, but US tax is tiny). MSI has fked the pricing in Europe. Alienware is >£300 cheaper, lol.

The first response time graph and it's a complete wall of green is really satisfying to see

[aschenteworks]

Would love to see a roundup video of all the brands/models using this panel once they're released

[thomasboehnlein]

Thank you so much for covering text clarity in such detail! You're the first person I've found that's given it the coverage it deserves.

[danield.]

Your reviews covers so much more than only measured datas (front light, reflections etc.). Great work!

[elemntz]

I love that hardware unboxed split off and made this channel. Super helpful and awesome reviews.

[DantalionVR]

1500€ in Germany, and 1099€ for the 27" 1440p 360Hz model

~30% more than what Dell/Alienware is charging over here

In the HUB Essentials Checklist you listed it did not support "Deep Sleep can be Disable" I am currently using a MSI 321URX monitor and in settings you can change the power button to "Standby" which makes the power button only turn off the panel and backlight instead of the default setting OFF which turn off the whole monitor including the KVM switch.

When using this setting I believe it provides a option to disable deep sleep or a similar behaviour to having deep sleep disabled where it prevents issues I have when the monitor is turned off such as HDMI hot-plug detection issues when using dual monitors (Windows 10 disconnecting the monitor ) and my USB devices on the KVM switch turning off.

I consider this a useful feature on this monitor especially for OLED monitor to be able to turn of the screen without having to reposition things on Windows and also not having my keyboard and mouse on the KVM switch turn off when the monitor is off.

Your review format is perfect. Great work.

Nice checklist. Very helpful.

Also, man, what a dragon 6:52

Please consider measuring and comparing the aggressiveness of ABL with OLED panels. One of the most distracting issues with HDR gaming. Would really love to see the difference in ABL with these panels vs the WOLED's later this year as well.

Been highly anticipating these videos! Thank you guys for all your efforts to help us make informed choices!

[Julia-pkel]

Mine is arriving tomorrow, very excited!!

[lefthornet]

Great video as usual. It will be great if you can check the KTC G27P6 is the one cheaper on Some parts of EU and the one cheaper on US at 650 usd, in theory use the same LG 240HZ panel. Also the AOC Agon PRO AG276QZD it's at 699 USD. (I know that models are QHD btw)

[terryrayton]

Thanks lads - watched all the QD OLED monitor reviews and they have been invaluable. Will buy some merch for guiding my decision in this space.

[ek]

Thanks for finally reviewing this monitor getting mine today. Glad to see its as good as I hoped.

[zaren]

The MSI and the ASUS 4k monitors is 1499 euro in Norway which is insane. The 4k Dell monitor is 1206 euro, QD-Oled is just way out of reach for most of the consumers guess i will wait for black friday or 2nd hand market...

[sureshmilton]

Would love a review of the Dell AW3225QF.

[Crazygreekthestreamer]

Love the extremely in depth review. It really helps to keep that buyers remorse away, and makes me confident that i’ll be getting a solid product for the money.

Happy to see it selling at msrp here in Canada. although the one problem is that it has been sold out on the few vendors offering it since release.

I have just seen it added on amazon canada, and have my order locked in for when it restocks.

I’m looking forward to unboxing this bad boy!! ❤️

One feature I hope you'll cover in the future would be the implementation of PiP/PbP (if supported by the monitor) and whether it's easy or finicky to use. This feature is exceptionally useful for productivity work if properly supported by the monitor, especially if it also has a built in KVM switch (like the Asus PG32UCDM). Otherwise, great review as always!
