OLED 1440P or 4K IPS

I thinking of swapping my 4 year Dell S2721DGA, it's served my well as a gaming monitor. But I have the upgrade itch and have been thinking of going Oled 1440p or 4K IPS as these types of monitor cost around the same price and it's about what I paid for my current Dell monitor.

So what I'm asking, is what is the general consensus of which is better and what would you go for?

In the same boat with the same Dell monitor. Have the itch. Was looking at 4K but really love the 3 figure frame rates from 2560x1400p.

I believe there will be a fidelity increase still? There is also a slightly cheaper version of this that is standard OLED. The OPs monitor is QD LED. What's the difference here?

QD OLED is samungs own
WO OLED is LG

Pros and cons of each, black level/ambiant light effects black, text clarity.
 
I've had the new monitor over the weekend and I'm really happy with it and you can really tell the difference between IPS and OLED. Tested a few different games, like Marvel Rivals, World of Warship, L4D2, Fortnite and Expanse game, all feel smoother with the new monitor and the colours look better.

Also great service from Overclockers, ordered Thursday at 4.25pm and the monitor was delivered before 9am Friday morning.
 
Personally, having had a 1440p monitor since 2010, I'm keen to make the jump to 4K. If it's an option I'd spend the extra to get a 27"/32"4K OLED 240Hz panel. They're a real "have your cake and eat it" endgame display option as far as I can see.

So many sources plus content feeds are either 1080p/4K and the scaling from either looks rubbish on a 1440p/2K display.

Like you I have been using 1440p monitors for about 10 years, in fact this is my third 1440p monitor in that time. I only use my PC for gaming and use my TV for anything else, If I want to watch YouTube I watch it on my TV.
 
Same here 11 years or so with 1440p. I prefer the balance it brings with pixel density at 27" as well as performance in games.

@w00dy85 did you go for the WOLED version of this or QD-OLED version? :)

I went for the AG276QZD2 QD-OLED, the latest version of the monitor. Which is also using the latest OLED panel, third gen OLED according to some of the YouTube videos I watched.

Can you tweak settings in SRGB mode? The review of that monitor states you can't

I've not messed around with the SRGB, I just changed the HDR mode to Peak HDR and that's it really. As I was happy with the rest of the setup and the screen comes calibrated already, as theirs a certificate in the monitor box.

Anyone interested in the monitor my also find this review useful TFT Central review

That review mentions the locked srgb. Have you updated firmware and any different csb you tweak srgb?

I've had both and OLED 1440p all day (gaming usage).

4K was IPS at 32", while the image was certainly nice and crisp the downsides of IPS meant it could not compete, vs the colours, motion clarity, true blacks, and contrast against OLED (34" U/W). Also the performance hit of 4K was a lot to deal with and not worth it. Had the 4K for a year, but I had to admit to myself I got it wrong, sold it and bought the OLED. There's some management but nothing that feels annoying really, run the pixel shift, get rid of icons and taskbar onto 2nd screen, set the wallpaper to change every few minutes.

I "only" have a 4k IPS at 32" and my second monitor is also IPS 34 UW at 3440x1440p.

But, to go back to a 1440p monitor for desktop type use I find it a big problem adapting to Windows scaling and sizes.
Going back to Vista or before times Windows could scale less than 100%.
After being used to 32" 4k I just do not like a desktop at 1440p.

Did you go ok with that.?

I don't give a discount so why mention it?

I get a 99% discount on Trinnov Altitude 32. But you don't. Oh well.

LOL

Because lots of people do? The deal is on a well known bargain site at the moment.

I thought I could help you out and give you a code, but obviously not.

I wont waste my time next time.
