A couple of the shots in this video are very dark, that was an encoding error we couldn't solve in time for publishing. Sorry!

[dolan_plz]

That auto-switch feature is something that every monitor should support! If not for OLED burn-in prevention, but for energy saving too.

Finally 27" 4k for that sweet sweet PPI. Going to wait for other manufacturers models and get one 100%

[TearyBoi]

A lot of reviews out on this monitor and Tim, your reviews are by far the clearest, most well-structured and informative out there. Thanks for the effort you put in

We've been waiting for so long for such a monitor! Absolute sweet spot for image clarity without making text and icons too small!

[SeventhCircle]

This seems fun, can run native on games that aren't too hard to run but running an upscaler should still look better due to the ppi increase.

[UnboxerofWorlds]

I'm stunned you already have a review of this. Awesome!

[bigsmackisback]

My 120hz 4k 28" has served me well but its not OLED, been waiting for these for a while and with double the refresh, me likey

[AlexDroog]

I'm getting older and don't like to sit at a desk anymore. I just bought a LG C4 65 inch TV for gaming, it's incredible. If I still sat at a desk I would definitely buy this monitor.

[dunar]

0:50 thanks for this important part of information, because other reviewers just say it’s GEN4 so people assume there’s something fundamentally better

[leakyabstraction]

Good news, because I think a lot of people use their monitors both for gaming and work, and so far options weren't great for switching OLED, especially at smaller sizes and for working with text

[TheYvesW]

Very nice monitor! Hoping to see some more good non-OLED HDR options hitting the market soon for us people that mostly do productivity tasks with gaming and media consumption on the side.

[mcmurder]

This is fantastic. I do have a 32 inch qd oled at the moment, but having come from a 28 inch 4k display, I can confirm 27/28 inch is the sweet spot for comfort and image quality. I'll be tempted to go back when higher refresh rate models arrive.

[Aradmahogany]

My 32 UCDM has the same proximity sensor, but without the same distance calibration. It is super useful. Hopefully they can update to include this distance feature unless this panel uses a newer sensor. Sometimes if my chair is sitting too close the monitor wont turn off, and conversely if I get too comfy and lean back too far it will turn off while I am playing/watching.

[ClearAlera]

I cannot wait! Going to be a big PC upgrade year for me with AMD's X3D improvements, next gen graphics cards, and FINALLY a 27" 4K OLED. I tried ASUS's 27" 1440P WOLED in 2023 but returned it because I couldn't get over how bad the desktop experience was outside of gaming/videos. It sounds like the text sharpness and color accuracy issues are finally to the point where I'm excited to give OLED another shot.

I love the proximity sensor on this particular model too, and UHBR20 gives me some future-proofing confidence even though it's not useful quite yet.

[MizarcDev]

I always hear people say that you should get 1440p for 27 inch and 4K for 32 inch. As a PPI addict, I respectfully disagree. 4K 27 inch is gold! Now to wait until 5K becomes mainstream.

[pix]

Anyone that says PPI doesn't matter are either blind or desperate to justify a bad purchase. I have a first-gen 27" 1440p OLED from a couple years ago- content is stunning and it's serviceable for daily use, but text fringing is evident at any reasonable viewing distance and it's made 10x worse if you're using it side-by-side with an LCD. From what you say RE: fringing, this will be my next monitor purchase finally.

[XtergoBlue]

My dream monitor finally 🔥🔥❤️❤️

Both gaming & productivity

[HolloVVpoint]

Finally been waiting for one of these forever! 100% will get one

[pvdgucht]

Been waiting for this but now I am thinking of waiting for Tandem OLED 😄
