In Germany the AW3225QF goes for 900 €. All other models between 1.350 € and 1.500 €. For me it's therefore the Alienware unless are absolutely do not want curved.
The cheapest flat one actually being the DP 1.4 version of the Gigabyte one FO32U2 at 1.080 €.

Went with the Asus PG32UCDM and I love it! Amazing 4k monitor. By far the most I have ever spent on a monitor, but man what a difference. Not for everyone, but worth it to me.

I went for AW3225QF. I replaced my AW3423DWF with it because watching YouTube on it wasn't good. I have no regrets. Recommend this monitor to anyone who is considering 4K OLED. It was also the cheapest one here in Slovakia - 1050eur.

It is worth noting that the glossy anti reflection coating is extremely fragile. Just using the wrong fabric to clean them will put scratches on it.
Moving my monitor on its arm and accidentally touching the plastic surface of my desk lamp was enough to put marks on it.
Those marks are not deep scratches as the surface is intact so not visible when pixels are lit, or when in the dark. But it's the AR coating that is removed at these spots and it's visible when there are reflections.

The semi matte plastic finish on LG side is a lot more durable.

Best Buy had the Samsung G80SD for under $750 USD open-box. Mine's arriving today, hopefully you all can test it soon, especially since it has a different coating than the other QD-OLED variants!

Awesome video! Please do this periodically!

Just purchased the LG C4. Absolutely love it. Went from a 27”. Huge difference for my flight simulator.

Because of your and others testing I got the ASUS PG32UCDM about a month ago. I really enjoy it (use it for 50/50 productity/gaming or media). Ive got a nice deal (1100 EUR) so it was worth it. Switched from 4k 60hz LCD and the difference is huge; couldnt imagine going back and finally the 4090 can show its true potential (if only I had the time to actually game lol...). BUT: Thanks for your deepdives. It really helps deciding!

[devinbaines]

Very helpful. Pulling the trigger soon so it boils down to availability in my area and your recommendations, Tim. Thank you for this.

[TheRealDlo]

I love my AW3225QF. The curve is NICE IMO. Never thought I would think that but I do now. I recommend this to ANYONE looking for a HIGH end monitor.

LG C2/3/4 42" OLED 4k 120hz.
Best used in a dark room and without direct sunlight on it.
42" is actually a good size for immersion and the price can be quite low with discounts. And since it is a TV discounts happen frequently.

glad I got the PG32UCDM. glossy its way better colours . also if you dont mind natural imperfections then its def for u as far as scanlines mame and that sort of thing when it comes to modern gaming then once again its the best. plenty bright enough.

I’m in the US and got the MSI 321URX a few weeks ago and it’s been fantastic and such a joy to use for gaming, editing, and productivity. Although I really wanted dual mode I couldn’t justify the premium when I’m mainly a single player/code/warzone gamer, and even with my 4090 and 14900K you can barely get above 300 consistently on resurgence and big map can’t get above 300 unless you have crazy optimization. I’m glad MSI came in at their price point and made the panel basically as good as the rest

Surprisingly I found the LG 32 4k to be my favorite among a couple I tried. It has the best stand ergonomics. It’s got truly black blacks in the day, not purple tint. It has no text color fringing and good enough clarity. The matte coating is not “as” matte as other matte screens. It’s got simple controls. It’s not invasive about screen refresh. I got it on sale too.

Picked up a FO32U2P last april and with 750 hours of use, couldn't be happier with my upgrade from my old 1080p 60hz monitor.

[SmithyPupp]

Thanks for Aussie prices inclusion!

The Dell is often down around $1400 AUD…. which makes it hard to ignore unless you really gripe the curve. The other one in the similar price ballpark is the new Samsung G8 - flat but semi matte.

[willwunsche]

I appreciate these kind of videos a ton

[sonnydthomas]

I'd still like to know about the samsung G80SD and G60SD

[SpartyFrotch]

Glad you specified why the Dual-Modes aren't for you specifically. As someone who plays a lot of competitive FPS games as well as single-player games, Dual-Mode is a dream, otherwise I'd need 2 monitors.
