    We need more vids from Techtesters... Nada... Where are u...??? We missed ur honest hardware reviews...
  • @hirschkuh1982
    I am working 4 days a week in my Homeoffice. So as long as OLED has this burn in problem, it will never be an option. Even if it is solved 98%, it still exists
  • @Mag-Tesla
    great vid, love to see more comparisons!
  • @TheWancer
    would be nice to see a mini-led vs oled comparison
  • @AceTriggerz
    "Me looking at the two monitors thru my IPS screen that max out at 300 nits." ah yes, ah yes, i cannot tell the difference.
  • @CraftBeerTastic
    Excellent comparison on these two units! Well done, Nada! Cheers!
  • @M0HAK0
    Had no idea you cover monitors in general! Very very nice.
  • The burn in is a no for me, pass till they fix it or come up with a new screen that doesn't do it
  • @johntet
    back to IPS. Ghosting is a no-no when gaming , then text will annoy me to death . They would both annoy me so much i would be spending time to mitigate the issues instead of working/playing.

    Hello, an excellent review as usual. Very interesting information that I will use when buying my next 1440P monitor for MSFS2020 use. Thanks.
  • @ChairmanMeow1
    I appreciate that they didn't use you as a pretty face for the channel - its obvious you REALLY know your stuff and thats awesome. Love the content, I see a lot more viewers in your future if you keep up with these quality reviews!
  • @hjshoon5244
    Mini LED VA panel monitor would be a closer comparison to oled and should be price between both VA and oled
  • @LucidStrike
    I like the CONCEPT of this video -- and you're the first I've seen take it on -- but it just seems like THIS VA panel wasn't really designed for HDR content. HDR is the WHOLE point of QD-OLED, so a competing VA panel should at least be ATTEMPTING to deliver a good HDR experience.
  • @Dave30867
    Great Info Thank you Lady .😊👍
  • @outlet6989
    Hi Nada. So nice to see you again. Would there be any difference on a 40+ inch monitor?
  • @alarak2159
    Certainly interesting. I've owned three VA panels - XG49VQ, XG27WQ & up until recently; the XG32VC. The best of the bunch was the XG27WQ - excellent image quality and a fast, responsive panel with little ghosting. The XG49VQ exhibited a little, yet the XG32VC was terrible for it. You really need to look a the panel on these units. I've just upgraded to the OLED PG27AQDM and it is absolutely incredible. Of all the monitors I've ever owned this blows them all away, zero contest.
  • Tried an Alienware aw3243awf this weekend and I returned it, the text look a little fuzzy. Huge disappointment but there is no way I could have work all day on this.
  • Great video, but I am gonna get myself the new W-OLED glossy screen (27 inch). Seemed very nice. I had a QD-OLED screen but it is more grayish than deep black imo.

    Thank you for this video. I love this Youtube channel.
