Hi,

Looking to buy a new monitor over the next few months, i've had my current one for 7 years and back then it was a win from a OCUK Easter egg image competition ( so i guess its lasted well)

Anyway time has moved on and i should have about £800 - 1k to splash out on a 4k OLED monitor to use with my 5070TI

With CES just occurring what should i consider / look out for. big fan of LG but don't think there is much great ones out from them atm. so open to suggestions

one must have is that it needs to be a Flat screen, its for 3D work / Game Dev and play but mostly 3D work, no Curved displays please

Thanks

P

The 5 Best OLED Monitors of 2026

The best OLED gaming monitor we've tested is the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM. It's a QD-OLED that combines a 4k resolution with a 240Hz refresh rate.

ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG Review

The ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG is a high-end 32-inch OLED gaming monitor. Using the same third-generation WOLED panel as competing models, like the LG 32GS95U...

I've had a LG 32GS95UV for over a year now and can't fault it for a mix of work (macOS) and gaming (Windows PC)
 
The MSI monitors were on sell last week but I missed out annoyingly.

Hoping with a little patience I can snag the MSI or ASU’s monitors on deal somewhere.

Damn, it's a shame you missed out on the sale. I was just about to come recommend the 321URX.

Currys Clearance had the white version down to £560 so decided to give it a go.

Not sure on the white bottom frame so will see what it looks like when it comes.

I'd love an Oled but as it would be 75% productivity (also 3d work) and 25% gaming I would be worried about screen burn, are you not as bothered? My sons MSI looks amazing, but he only games on it so screen burn not really a worry for him.

I've been running my 34" OLED for over a year and I have zero burn-in.

I've done the Pixel and panel refreshes when prompted and I honestly cannot see a thing, even when doing the EIZO monitor test.

I belive burn-in IS possbile but if you're switcing apps throughout the day, it's quite rare.

The MSI monitors have inbuilt OLED Care protection, which is software to prevent screen damage.

It’s packed up ready to go back :cry:

Thought I could do a white monitor but to be honest I found it distracting, especially in dark scenes.

It’s a fantastic monitor and given the current prices, it’s a fab deal for a 240hz but can’t get on with it.

I’ve not initiated the return yet as I’m out of the country till next Friday but if you’re interested, happy to move it on rather than return it.

Never understood th appeal of a white/silver monitor in gaming, it's always going to be immersion breaking.

White / silver monitor are very 1990's / early 2000's for me. i did have a 21" silver iiyama back in the day . Cracking monitor for the day and my first move from CRT to Flatscreen LED. Thought at the time it was great and couldn't get over the size different compared to the CRT.

Asus PG32UCDMR or 3 variant which is due out. I have the R and love it, DP 2.1 as well, snappy UI and punchy colours, paid £775 for mine at Christmas in the sale.
 
Managed to snag a 321URX from another retailer which had it on offer with 10% cashback so £540 total.

Jumped on it at that price and comes with the full 3 year warranty rather than the 12 month that the used White model had.
