Customers enjoy the stunning color quality and buttery smooth refresh rate of the ROG Strix 27" OLED QHD monitor. Some users find the glossy finish reflective in bright rooms, and the lack of HDMI 2.1 is noted as a potential drawback by a few. However, the high refresh rate is frequently praised for its smoothness. Overall, the vibrant colors are a significant highlight for most customers.

I've had three OLED Monitors so far. All of them were glossy. The first one was the Aorus 27 inch QD-OLED 360hz Monitor. With QD-Oled the blacks do raise when ambient lighting is bright. The colors are still good, motion is still good, but blacks are raise to a purple color. I returned that one because I told my wife I would lol. I then purchased the Alienware somewhat equivalent of the Aorus 360hz Oled. It didn't have KVM, speakers or HDMI 2.1, but the panel was just as good, because it was probably the same panel minus the other features the Aorus had. I returned it. I then purchased this glossy WOLED monitor. The gloss is more like a semi-gloss coating, and although the QD-Oled's colors seemed to be more vivid or vibrant, the WOLED Glossy's blacks don't raise with high ambient light. I watched HDR videos and the picture and color looked good. Is it at good as my LG C1 48inch Evo Panel OLED? Maybe not as good, but I might keep this unless they come out with a higher refresh rate glossy WOLED. Only buy this if you're going to get it at Bestbuy, because of the RMA complaints from customers with Asus. Buy Totaltech or get the 4 years monitor warranty. THAT WARRANTY IS WORTH IT! Pros: Oled Picture Quality Response Time Motion Clarity No raised blacks with ambient light Cons No HDMI 2.1 No Speakers No KVM Not 360hz, but it's almost trivial The PC Specs: NCase M2 Mini ITX Case B650i Asrock 4090 FE 7800x3d SF750 Platinum with MODDIY custom 12 VHPWR Cable 4 TB of Storage total 32 GB 6000 CL32 Gskill RAM EK240 Basic AIO

Let’s be real, there are are many feasible OLED monitors on the market. I personally own an LG OLED 27in, which is beautiful and does its job. But this ASUS, is a night and day difference. The colors pop more, has a true black display, and I love the glossy panel. Unfortunately for me, it’s in the middle of my triple monitor set up, makes the other two look horrible. One issue I have with this, is you need to manually turn off the monitor after use, my other two LG’s turn off on their own. Besides that, if your looking to have amazing color display, with the specs, and have extra money, this monitor is ahead and the best bang for your buck.

Let me start out by saying that I’am using this monitor purely for gaming might do some browsing here and there, but that’s about it. With that being said this monitor is incredible with INSANE quality. The bright colors and very dark blacks really pop creating a beautiful picture that ha elevated my gaming sessions. I find myself stopping and appreciating the environments a lot more that plus the 240hz refresh rate and I couldn’t recommend this monitor enough especially if you find it on sale.
