Our Verdict
Dell Alienware AW2725DF
Samsung Odyssey OLED G60SD S27DG602S
The Dell Alienware AW2725DF and the Samsung Odyssey OLED G60SD S27DG602S are both 27-inch 360Hz QD-OLED gaming monitors. Both monitors are excellent, and the best one for you depends on your preferences. The Samsung is a better choice if you have a lot of ambient light, as it has a matte coating that reduces glare really well. However, the Dell is the better choice if you prefer the clarity of a glossy display or you're gaming in a dark room and won't benefit from the matte coating.

Hello! I purchased an LG 86QNED91TA TV, Indonesian build, from September 2024. 86QNED91T6A.ARUFLJD
The picture quality is excellent, but only if you sit directly in the center. As soon as your eyes move towards the edge, the image quality deteriorates. The sound is good—sufficient for movies, TV shows, and games. Nothing more is needed. The brightness is well-calibrated: the panel is always at 100%, yet even at night it isn’t blinding (it doesn’t tire your eyes). Compatibility with the PS5 PRO is flawless: VRR, 120 Hz, and excellent responsiveness. Playback from a USB drive poses no issues, as it handles all formats exceptionally well. However, the VA panel with its terrible viewing angles is a major drawback—rating it 1/10.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t lucky with the panel; it turned out to be VA, whereas I was expecting an IPS. Even a 10-degree deviation dims a quarter of the screen noticeably. Since we usually watch TV together from opposite ends of the sofa, it becomes a nightmare—a third of the screen looks dull, both during the day and at night.
This is the first time I’ve encountered such a problem. I previously owned a Samsung with a VA panel, and even that did not have these issues. I also have a curved VA monitor—on that, the problem only becomes apparent at extreme angles. But with this TV, even when looking straight ahead, the side sections of the screen appear dimmer. LG disappointed me—given the price, they should have provided normal viewing angles of at least 30 degrees, not 10. A very unpleasant surprise.
Hi. Connected HDMI 2.1 HDMI Settings - No VRR setting TV 4k @ 120Hz is there, on PS5 and PC photo 1 photo 2 photo 3 photo 4 There is no VRR setting in game optimizer I watched on youtube TV LG 86UQ80 there was VRR. I think they just removed this function.
Hi, I have a LG 86UR81 TV and it doesn’t support VRR.
