      One quick look at the OLED Monitor category would show you that at roughly the same price you have the opportunity at the following:

      • 27" QHD 480Hz WOLED
      • 32" 4K 240Hz QD-OLED
      • 27" QHD 360Hz QD-OLED (with change)
      • 49" UWQHD 240Hz QD-OLED

      And in the near future:

      • 27" 4K 240Hz QD-OLED
      • 27" QHD 500Hz QD-OLED

      … so no, not the best money can buy, nor at this price, especially once you realise the brightness, longevity, and burn-in protection gains made.

      This is a first gen panel, we're basically on 4th gen panels now.

        boring…
        the specs on this monitor are just in the sweet spot for most gamers

        move along

        • +9

          I am moving along, why on earth would you overpay for a 165Hz monitor using a technology that can easily now be driven to 360Hz in the same form factor, and has the response times for basic 1000Hz (thermal and voltage demands now permitting)?

          Please don't misguide your fellow OzB folk into thinking they can't do better for their money.

          • @jasswolf: what can you suggest with better spec in ~1k budget (30" is also ok)

            'not asking for a friend.

          • @jasswolf: yeah ok, lets see those for $1k pls?
            maybe the 27 inch is cheaper but no others are

            • +2

              @botchie: I gave you a link to past deals, you can see that they often happen monthly.

              There'll be a little bit of slow down presently due to new models - as also mentioned - coming in, but come mid-March I would imagine there'd be deals on again.

              • -3

                @jasswolf: Ok so currently this is the best money can buy, ok thx

                • @botchie: You might as well be telling people the time of the day. I haven't even gone looking…

                  I'll do that in a few hours and get back to you.

              • @jasswolf: Thanks and do compare it properly, so at least 32 inch, ultra wide , oled , more then 165hz and $1k

        • +1

          Am I crazy or is your linked review for an entirely different monitor?

        • Thanks for the updated Rtings link. Appreciated.

      • For gaming….

        The C4 42 should be added to that list. @$1280 its very impressive.
        Yes its a TV, but its also the best in class HDR by a long mile
        Its also:
        A 27 inch 2560x1440P if you want it to be.
        A 38-40 inch 3840x1600 panel in 21:9 if you want it to be.

        After being through all of the OLEDs 27inch, 32 inch and 34 inch……this is miles ahead of any monitor.
        Yeah 27 inch 360hz is great for sweaty FPS, but that's about it.

      • Looking at selling a kidney for a 500hz rig. Do you thing the misus will approve of the following:

        … Could even consider moving to Lucas Heights if power is an issue :)

    Tempting
    Need new GPu first, pending 9070xt pricing!

    • +1

      Aus price $1,399

      • If true, hell of a bump compared to alleged global MSRP.

        Think you might be looking at a place holder or previous MSRP guidance due to stock getting shipped since January (AMD will hand out rebates for the latter).

    • nvidia -$50, you know the drill, then the nvidia / amd split will go further from 90 / 10 to 95 / 5

  • Amazing monitor, especially for this price

  • This or wait for LG C4 OLED 42" to go on sale again?
    $1162 back in December for one of those.

    • +1

      Same query here and my use case is even split between work/tv/PS5 & XSX. My very quick take is that the LG C4 would be better for console gaming as this only goes to 4K/60hz for consoles and the real estate on the 42’ LG quite a bit larger.

      I think if you’re high end PC gaming this is probably the pick.

      • +1

        C4 is the best monitor i have used. And its a TV. Does 144hz no sweat and the picture is unmatched.

        Still looking at one of these for work.

    • +1

      Would say this choice entirely depends on your use case and hardware, I personally wouldn't use a 42" TV as my PC monitor as it's vertical height is too much for me + I prefer frames over 4K.

      I'd go for the LG if I had a console and a couch though.

    Muzeebb

    • Ahhhh. Those were the days. Elation followed by crushing disappointment. 🤣😂

      • Haha yaa

  • +1

    Have been using it for a while. A couple of notes that may sway people depending on their preference.

    1) after a few firmware updates the HDR1000 looks and works great. But it's nowhere near as good as a good OLED TV. My LG C1 looks much better when playing the same PC games

    2) it's a much better productivity monitor than an OLED TV. Better text clarity and general feels much more comfortable to look at for long sessions (note that I'm basing that on the LG C1. The newer models are probably better for that)

    Also, the colour quality drops if you run it at Max refresh rate, but there is some custom tweaks you can do to get it looking good while running at Max refresh.

  • Just be aware that this monitor will have text fringing if you intend to use it for work/productivity. I went with a 4K 32inch OLED screen for that reason (Samsung Odyssey G8).

  • FYI - Signed up to the EPP with a personal email, got sent the code. The 7% off on G Series Laptops seems to work but the 10% doesn't work.

  • I'd just wait for the Alienware AW3225QF to come back down to $1200, much better for productivity and gaming

    • The curve sucks in 16:9.
      Had it and it is distractng.

      • I'm reading your comment on the AW3225QF, it is my first curved monitor and I was worried that the curve would be distracting, but it's barely noticeable

        If you dislike curves then the AW3423DWF isn't much better, no point paying $1200 for a gen-1 panel now, alright deal if you have EPP/student discount though

    Total price for me $1,104.07.

  • Oops something went wrong, please click on the FAQ.

    :(

  • I bought a refurb 6-12 months ago for 900ish. Great hardware. I don't do pixel refresh, just don't run high brightness or leave static interfaces for hours on end and it's been fine.

  • can confirm, signing up with my private email and getting a 10% discount worked. thank you, I've been waiting for a sub 1100 price for a new unit.
