What's your DREAM spec/size for a gaming monitor?

[Shadowsmoke]

My favorite part of this tv (42'' is basically tv size) is the custom heatsink. I don't care too much about the size of the back of the monitor as long as it doesn't dim the brightness constantly.

THANK YOU so much for being a gaming-focused channel. ❤️

Why are these companies so afraid to make a 32" oled monitor

[akiolife]

Yep. This one is the big hyped monitor this year from Asus. Everyone have been talking about it. Super excited to see the review

[vintatsh]

I'm very excited about this monitor as it's the first one to check all the boxes for me. 4K, OLED, VRR, G-Sync, true HDR, >120Hz, fast response times.
And I do prefer a matte coating for monitor-use. Yes colors and contrast might not pop as much if it's hit with light but it's a comfort feature, which for a monitor I use long periods at a time, I abosultely need to have. It gets you a uniform image over the entire screen without any distractions at all times.

And there are many other benefits over somethng like an LG C2 (heatsink minimizing risk of burn-in, option to turn off automatic brightness limiter, sharp sub-pixel layout for text, Displayport, auto switching into stand-by when you turn off your PC...).

Not quite sure about the size yet but coming from a 32" which I've been using very comfortably I feel like it could work for me.

Great video! I think I'll still be leaning toward the C2 though as the £400 price difference at the moment is too appealing.

On your future review, will you give us a comprehensive analysis on the anti-glare matte screen? Is the matte coating embedded within the panel or is it another layer? Do you notice any sacrifices on color and sharpness because of the matte finish? Do you find its brightness setting to be adequate for an OLED monitor during productivity use? How aggressive is ABL in your testing? Please let us know. Thank you!

Wow, please compare to the C2 you had as a monitor? side by side to see that contrast difference, uniform brightness difference etc for those comparing the C2 42 and this. Love your content

[jimmyharrison]

OLED GAMING: So honestly, this monitor would probably be a go-to for me if I wanted a desk experience. Thanks for the video man!

[chezyalegend]

It's so gorgeous, the back is my favorite part. It's definitely got an aggressive touch to it.

[Kailis]

Glad to see it has vesa mounts so it can be closer to the wall or on the wall rather than halfway on your desk

[rodrigogarcia]

Great review! Can you comment on the productivity side of things? More specifically how much better text looks compared to other oled displays since that is one of the marketing points for this monitor.

[misberave]

I just received mine and it was the best decision i ever made. Im in LOVE, my first 4k screen ever and then also the biggest :D

[ox]

Looks great. Straight I like the screen because they have used the perfect aspect ratio. Also gloss screen and I hope they do slightly lager versions in time. Love it.

I hate the long wide view monitors so much screen missing like that.

[enjoysport]

Lovely update again from my main guy yea thanks 🙏🏾 for the heads up alway i really love this type of videos even thou i can’t afford any for now….but will one day…

[ruinedlopez]

You could use this as a TV for a bedroom LOL

[SuperSuperka]

Serious mistake is to consider "anti-glare coating" as reducing reflections. I has diffuse reflections, instead of glossy, thus catching any light, significantly reducing contrast.

Nice review as always… and your room, gets me every time 🥹
