Afternoon Guys and Gals, time for some 'War & Peace', so here goes..... I've took the step and moved back into PC gaming after a long hiatus, gaming wise I'd likely be playing a mix of FPS, survival and narrative story driven games (maybe to odd RTS) so would want a good all-rounder experience.
So right now I'm looking at adding an OLED to my new setup (this was priced into my budget) and I've narrowed it down to the 2-off 27" monitors in the title (ASUS PG27AQDM and LG 27GR95QE-B), I can purchase both at around the same price of £800, so I'm little split on what to go for, I see people raving about the ASUS for its SDR/HDR brightness and accuracy (although not sure if that would be an issue with burn-in as its not included in their warranty?), but I also note it's missing some features such as HDMI 2.1, USB-C input and proper hardware / factory calibration, all things the LG has.
Just to note, I was also looking at the ASUS PG34WCDM 4K Curved Ultrawide OLED which is due out Mid-February, but I'm a little hesitant to push beyond my budget, this would virtually be >£1300 to buy, I've never used an ultrawide monitor and I'm not really sure I want to move into 4K gaming at this screen size (I already use a LG CX 4k OLED for PS5/XSX console gaming).
So folks, which would be your pick and why? Help me OCUK Forum, you're my only hope!
My setup for info:
