The LG's VRR range starts at 48hz, which is too high for me. If this monitor didn't exist I'd likely go for the LG but yeah the wider VRR range makes a difference for me.

48hz too high? Seriously you need to upgrade your gfx card first before buying 144hz screens. I wouldnt ever want to run a game which dropped below 60Hz nowadays.

I have a 6900xt, so its not like I have a low end GPU. I do however know that with RT and as games get more demanding I may see dips into lower 30s from time to time (even if the game usually runs 90+). For me VRR makes a huge difference when that happens. I tend to upgrade every 2-3 generations when it comes to GPUs and every 4 years on CPUs so I know in the lifetime of the monitor I will see lower frames occasionally.

For the other replies thanks for the info on LFC - as the LG looks out of stock I'll stick with this for now and see if it is as bad as some people are making out.

It’s every spec of dust, every star, every light source. My PG35VQ has FALD and doesn’t have it to this extent and even that can be an issue at times.

I’m hoping that this persons monitor is faulty, but I highly doubt it.

PG35VQ is VA panel and has like triple the real contrast.
Hence it's more toward real HDR monitor with that much higher brightness difference between any individual pixels.

Also its max brightness is lower.
So that backlight dimmed lot better by the LCD panel has further decrease in backlight leak brightness.


There just simply isn't no other way than real contrast and better black for true HDR image.
And all LCDs are dead end for that.
Though Innolux was actually developing dual LCD matrix panel with first layer used for near pixel level control of backlight brightness.
But that design propably has huge costs needing two flawless LCD matrices.
 
I mean, it's 2-3 weeks. I've waited a couple of years for the spec, happy to wait a couple of weeks! From the price point, the state of tech supply globally and the panel tech I assume that supply will be limited.

lol, yes I suppose your right, saying July seemed longer when in actual fact it is only a few weeks away.

The technology just seems flawed at this point. You can get very bright HDR but with massive trade offs it seems.

Looks like it’s going to be a while before we are able to buy something at this size in 4K HDR 144hz.

Think I’ll keep my money and cancel my pre order.

I mean. The reality is: If you don't want OLED but you still want perfect HDR and perfect contrast and perfect blacks and perfect motion and perfect input then you only have one option left: wait for MicroLED.

The issue with the PG32UQX can only be solved with a switch to a MicroLED panel so that each pixel can be individually controlled.

I want OLED but the screen sizes are too big for desktop use.

Micro LED will be years away, and they will be ridiculously expensive because of the way they are going to be made. I can see them being plagued with faults also because of how they are going to be made.

Dead pixels is an issue with MicroLED. It will be interesting to see how they work around that on consumer level products in the years to come.

Last time I heard, Samsung was averaging 10 dead pixels for every 22 inches which is very high - what they do is when dead pixels are found, the panel either gets throw away or goes back into the production line where each dead pixel is manually replaced one by one until the whole panel works - this isn't cheap but Samsung has no issue doing it when they're selling you a $200k TV. When its a $1k monitor? yeah I don't think dead pixels will get as much care

And that is exactly why we need 32"-40" OLED monitors now. Would clean up.

I mean in theory Micro LED sounds great, but I can’t see it being cheap enough for even your high end PC Gamer to make it a viable option. It’s going to be so time consuming for them to perfect the panels...

IIRC they're developing automated methods/machinery for replacing dead pixels.
Which is possible because of every pixel being individual component unlike in LCD.
So after few years that should help lower price at least compared to having ditch whole panels/put more into lowest bin.

Remember that first LCD TVs very also very expensive.
And same for OLED TVs, which are now in relation cheap compared to this Asus.
