ASUS XG27UCDMG: What Real Users Say About 27" 4K OLED

Not true. Gaming on 32" 4K Oleds are not nearly as immersive as the 45" 4K Oleds. Gaming on a sharp screen is nice, but eventually a bigger screen is more appreciated.

Did you literally just send us to your YouTube page?

Got the same monitor this Monday! First time spending more money for a monitor. Feels like I got the right one.

Yep 4k at 27" is awesome. I have also tried 27" 1440p and 32" 4K and I'm always impressed by the sharpness of 4K on a 27".

I just got the XG32UCWMG a week ago and the text clarity is still excellent. I will never go back to 27in after having the 32. To me the larger size far outweighs the better pixel density, it feels more immersive even when pushed slightly further away.

27 in 4k is goated. I had a 27 in 1440p monitor and the difference is night and day.

This PG27UCDM is heaven sent. Best monitor on earth, never knew games could be this peak. Makes games a whole lot more enjoyable frfr.

Not true, the 32" 4K Oleds are not nearly as immersive as the 27" 4K Oleds. Gaming on a super large screen is nice, but eventually the sharper picture is more appreciated.

I heard a rumour that you could actually modify the viewing distance.

4th gen QD-OLED paired with 166ppi is just something else! Can't ever go back down now haha

Or just move the monitor closer to you?

Downgraded from a 32inch to this one, its so much better.

I currently have this exact monitor and the picture quality is phenomenal. However I've considered jumping to a 32 inch version just to enjoy the larger screen. I am a bit of a graphics snob. Maybe I don't need to switch lol.

The moment I went back to 1440P 500Hz it looked like 1080P so others may see it as a night and day difference.

Just built my new PC and hooked it up to the PG27UCDM yesterday. Wow is all I can say. I'm coming from an Alienware ultrawide 1440p IPS screen and this thing is insane compared to it.

Just got this one, and it's the best screen I've ever used. Amazing for professional use. JetBrains / VSCode look gray on my portrait IPS, and go solid black after moving to the OLED. It's wild how nice it is on the eyes.

The higher end model also has Dolby Vision where as the cheaper one doesn't. Not a deal breaker for me. I got the X series as well.

That's why I'm waiting for 4K OLEDs to come down in price a bit more, been on an IPS 4K for a little bit now - the clarity difference is insane between 1440p and 4k. I don't want to make any sacrifices.

I agree the only thing I was disappointed with was the HDR performance, it was lackluster compared to the TV but still an incredible monitor and im using and enjoying both all the time, once you get used to oled you just can't go back!

I was scared dropping from 360hz to 240hz but the difference was very minimal and my brain got adjusted real quick.

sitting about 80-90cm away from both of these, 4K looks so much sharper on the 27'' version (even more than I thought). The colors on the QD-OLED look a lot more punchy, like they hit you in the face and look very delicious.

I have the XG27UCDMG. It has been mind-blowingly good.

The XG27UCDMG is by far the best Monitor ive owned so far. The Picture is way sharper, the Colours Pop more and the Proximity Sensor works flawless since ive updated the Firmware. Ive just found myself worrying way more about Burn in with my old Monitors. With this one i have way more Peace.

I recently got the 27, and while i love it to death its been a true headache to make the blacks not be crushed in SDR. Idk what settings to use. It doesnt crash all of it but there is a slight crushed blacks. Also it has made me see color banding much more in games.

My biggest issue with the XG32 is brightness and black crush. Also there is an annoying 'flash' when going from looking at ground to looking at sky or vice versa that I'm sure is just the pixels turning off and on but I didn't notice it on qd oled as much.

It is an amazing screen. The only issue is it's an ASUS product. I swore I'd never buy another ASUS product due to the way they handled my last RMA but this monitor has no real comparison. The MSI is the closest but is still missing some features at the same price point.

Just got the exact same thing 2 weeks ago, it's amazing.

They are identical. The difference is the PG has a different more 'premium' stand that is actually kinda worse because of its size, and it also has DP2.1 which doesn't really matter. I would just get the XG unless the prices aren't that different in your region.

I was on the base firmware for a while, i had some weird bugs that happened occasionally like when i pause or alt tab out of a game the monitor will be stuck in a loop flashing colors for like a minute or two then vrr gets turned off and the picture appears again. Right now im on the latest firmware MCM106 and none of these issues happened again so it feels pretty stable.

You dont know what black is until you seen OLED Black. Comparing the TV to a monitor never felt right because it was a tv and 42 inches. Now that I have a LG C3 OLED TV and a 240hz 4k OLED monitor, I am so happy I can finally enjoy gaming.

I recently bought this monitor, it is beautiful no doubt, upgraded from XG27AQDMG, the panel uniformity is PERFECT! Even on 95% gray-scale, I see no vertical lines etc. Miles better than my Samsung s90c. My only question is the black levels on SDR with 'racing' present. It is significantly crushing the blacks.

How is text fringing on the 27 QD? I couldn't deal with the 32 version because of it.

Gets amazingly bright in HDR. Colors are vibrant. 240hz at 4k is great when I can actually hit those FPS. I dont notice any VRR flicker, feels like the 4th Gen QD Oled VRR antiflicker stuff is working well.

For SDR, Racing -> SRGB (color space setting) -> set gamma to 2.2. Usually Asus qd-oleds push a bit too much red out of the box. For me setting RGB gain to 96 100 100 is the closest to neutral 6500k. For HDR, TB400 for accuracy, Console HDR for brighter highlights but massively dimmed midtones.

You have four viable modes for SDR content. Racing-SRGB, Racing-DCI-P3, Racing-Wide Gamut, and sRGB Cal. Two out of the four are sRGB modes that target two different gammas. The other two are to be used if you like saturated and inaccurate colors for consuming content and gaming in SDR.

Just picked one up over the weekend. Wow! Upgraded from a 28 inch 4k g7 ips and the difference side by side is insane. Very happy with the purchase.

The text clarity on this is totally fine. I have used it for about a month (day job coding) with no issues. If you put your eyeball directly on the screen you may see a tiny amount of fringing but it really is quite good. 4k on 27 inches is very sharp.

The only color calibrated mode is SRGB Cal. It is pretty washed up. No pop ups. All other modes are off range with different percentages. Those pop colors are not natural, you can't find them in nature with that color.

I perfected the hdr settings so I get minimal color banding. I kind of did with SDR but it never looks as good with hdr on. even windows looks better I would say.

For about a month i was trying to get 240hz working at 1080-1440p, with no luck. updated the firmware etc. Eventually i found (in the manual) that the XG27UCDMG only supports up to 120hz in the lower resolution range, even with dp 1.4. The only way i was able to get 240hz running on 1440p was using cru (custom resolution utility). All is working well though!

The fact that you have to have them side by side kind of tells you that it isn't worth it. I tried the ASUS and yes 4k does look awesome but I don't miss it and you do lose a good amount of fps. I decided to keep my Alienware. 1440p 360hz is the sweet spot.
