LG 27GS95QE-B vs ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG

Is macOS doesn’t support scaling with 4K 120Hz HDR output? When I connect one through USB Type C (Innocn 27M2V), I can select 4K 120Hz with HDR But when I set to 1440p scaling with 120Hz, HDR is no longer exist as an option but when I switch to 1440p 60Hz, the HDR option is back.

How many rows and columns of miniLED does it has?

Did you ever happen to find a solution to this? Nothing I tried seemed to work. I’m not to knowledgeable about this stuff, but after testing the monitor’s HDR with a black clipping pattern, I feel like the monitor can’t properly display anything dark in HDR mode. I find it strange that this review didn’t identify this issue at all. I contacted INNOCN about this and they sent me a replacement monitor that had the exact same issue :/

No, I think this is a inherit problem from miniLED tech in monitor space. I really hope rtings to develop a similar testing methodology like brightness in difference % windows and test the min blackness a monitor can still show proper contrast.

Hey, we take all those aspects into account when coming up with our local dimming score. You can see a table here of the best LED local dimming features we’ve tested. That said, we understand that our local dimming score doesn’t represent everything, so you would need to read the text in each of the reviews to understand what each monitor is good at.

Will we have a best by type list of miniLED/full array local dimming like other type such as OLED? https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/best/by-type/oled

Ignore OLED, which one is the best local dimming monitor? Is there a list showing the best of miniLED monitor?

Since even local dimming score higher, it doesn’t necessary mean it’s a better miniLED display, black crush, blooming, backlight response time, dimming zone are all complicated metric.

Will the test kit/the test pattern be downloadable somewhere? If the test pattern is a website like Blur Buster’s TestUFO.com, will it be available to be access online for everyone to test? Or will it be open sourced on github?

Is there any suggested HDR setting to avoid black crush? It seems like for some movie with darker scene, e.g. House of Dragon, Dune, the screens back light goes completely off and nothing left to be seen.

I know there are 5,000+ dimming zones, but how many rows and columns exactly? I think this should be important info in the local dimming section

There is an Chinese review about it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s5E1uujK9Q

lol It IS the dumbest thing I have seen 4k in 55 inches and with a very strange curvature of the monitor, this monitor also costs a motorcycle, I do not recommend it, the text and its clarity is poor to be a 4k panel WTF.

It was marketed as a TV or a single panel multi monitor setup more than just a 4k monitor

Can heat and coil whine be measured as well?

From TV longevity test, it seems like heat is one of the major issue that cause panels to die, given this is a miniLED display, how’s the heat of this monitor without a fan compare to other miniLED display?

Also, some reddit users stated there is coil whine in their unit, is it something will be checked?

That’s unexpected

Hi Jason, The closest we have at the moment, would be something like this. It could be updated in the future to better reflect what you’re looking for, but it isn’t something we have current plans to do. Sorry about that!

When you guys have a chance to update or write a new one, it would be nice to have some insight on how to choose which connection base on the desired resolution and refresh rate. e.g. You should use HDMI 2.1 for 4K120, but why you should not use DP 1.4 with DSC or with difference color format like 4:2:2? Does adding DSC cause extra latency or image artefact?

I see there is this tool that state the max refresh rate base on the setting, but there is very little information of which one to choose.

Well, that’s disappointing. Is non-OLED flagship just not “mainstream” anymore?

Hi Jason, I can’t make any guarantees, but I did pass this along to our display team to consider as we test this product!

How will you guys test the local dimming? There is option to turn FALD on off in SDR but FALD is forced on in HDR.

Please test the local dimming in both SDR and HDR mode, feels like the blooming control are different and blooming (gray backgtound with text especially) in HDR feels less obvious

Let’s do the easy way. You put the price, then you mean, for the qualities that offers, so if it is over, it is over priced.

Still a bit difficult. Monitor, earphone, etc all have a “diminishing returns”. Some $10000 product may provide very similar quality to $5000 product. The quality may be 10% better, but 100% more expensive yet it’s may still worth the price as it can provide the absolute best quality among the category.

e.g. Samsung microLED TV right now are super expensive, like 10 times the price of a highest end OLED TV, but they are indeed the best you can get as a TV with no burn in and much brighter. Is it worth 10 times the price? Maybe not, but the quality it offers is in it’s own class, so if you want to have the absolute best TV, it may be worth it for some people.

If RTINGS start providing suggested price tag, it may cause unnecessary process to adjust it according to market every year when technology advance.

why the hell would you even vote for the XG27UQR anyway, it’s a basic edge lit IPS 144hz 4k display, we already have tones of good models reviewed and available, reviewing the Asus would unironically just be a waste of resources from the team’s part tbh. There are much more enticing models waiting to be reviewed such as the innocn, which actually present something interesting to the market and not just “hey guys we just released our 57th edge lit IPS display this year, it does exactly the same as 10 other models already available for a similar price, hope you like it” :|

I think that’s just old vote that has been here since this monitor launched. This is now the leader after losing so many rounds (2 months per round).

I think it will be very difficult to set that standard. How to differentiate the score properly?

• This is cheap, but you paid for $100 for a $100 product.
• This is expensive, but you paid for $1000 for a $1000 product.
• This is a great deal, you paid $100 for a $1000 product
• This is a great deal, you paid $1000 for a $10000 product
• This is a poor deal, you paid $1000 for a $100 product

Putting 5 as a “fair” deal?

Can you guys test if the HDMI 2.1 have some compatibility issue? There seems to be issue with Chromecast Ultra not able to output 4K when connected to it but if switch the monitor to HDMI 2.0, Chromecast can output 4K HDR
