This monitor is endgame and the end goal for so many! The 480hz is butterfly smooth and 1440p and such great crisp quality, I’ll while being on an OLED with the best colors. This is the only monitor I’ve ever bought that hasn’t already come with dead pixels that I notice a couple hours into playing. The setup was super easy, and I didn’t even have to screw the screen into the stand, it just slid in a locked. It also comes with all cables needs, power and all the DP and HDMI’s that are needed to output this high res and hz. I can’t recommend it enough.

Panel is beautiful, 480hz is wild and will never even be perceived by our eyes at that frame rate, but it’s nice to know that it’s there. Construction and manipulation of height are also a plus. I will be using this monitor for years. Only down side is the setting menu can be a bit frustrating to navigate but there’s not a whole lot you need to change unless you’re very particular about the displa.

Excellent color and picture quality, the anti-reflective matte finish does a really good job at minimizing reflections. 480hz is insane and very cool, but good luck finding more than 10 games that can run at that insane number unless you have a beefy enough system, some games did for me but it was only a few. The stand unfortunately did not push the monitor to a low enough spot that was entirely comfortable on my desk as it has an upper shelf, though that is purely a personal/minor setup issue that can be easily solved with a new stand/arm. The stand that is included is great and sturdy, but you really need to turn the cables to an uncomfortablly sharp angle to properly fit, and you'll need those thick cables that can support the required bandwidth. Other than those personal gripes it's hard to find a combination of features and specs that beat this amazing display.

Colors are deeper and rich without being overly saturated. Frames are extremely smooth and unnoticeable response time. would 100% recommend to anyone who likes FPS or story driven games.

1. Kinetic Perception
The transition from a 360Hz refresh cycle to the 480Hz ceiling was initially approached with skepticism regarding the diminishing returns of human optical perception. However, empirical testing reveals a tangible elevation in visual fluidity. The synchronization between the panel and the graphics processing unit creates a motion floor that is exceptionally distinct. The latency reduction is palpable; the hardware renders motion with a "smoothness" that borders on liquid, effectively eliminating the friction between intent and on-screen execution.
2. Chromatic Depth & Luminance
While the OLED architecture delivers infinite contrast, the chromaticity exhibits variances in saturation dependent on the operational scenario. There is a perceptible reduction in luminance vibrancy compared to expectation—visuals occasionally appear "duller" than the theoretical peak. This anomaly suggests a dependency on rigorous manual calibration rather than an inherent panel defect. The user is required to navigate complex setting profiles to force the panel to maintain full spectrum integrity across variable content.
3. Typographic Resolution
In the context of literary production—specifically the drafting of Echos Within—the panel presents a distinct optical challenge. Text elements suffer from a lack of edge definition, making prolonged focus difficult. The characters struggle to maintain sharpness, inducing minor ocular strain. This visual aberration is likely exacerbated by the lack of a dedicated preset optimized for high-contrast typography versus the motion-centric demands of gaming. The dichotomy between gaming performance and text rendering is the primary friction point.
4. Interface Ergonomics
The physical interface demonstrates robust signal integrity; "blackout" events or handshake failures are non-existent. However, the port architecture requires specific attention to cable tensile strength and flexibility. The rear input positioning lacks optimal ergonomic foresight, demanding a cable capable of acute angles without signal degradation. Despite this geometric rigidity, the functional throughput is flawless.
Subpixel Architecture: The "focus" issues with text are likely physical, not software-based. WOLED panels utilize an RWBG subpixel layout that Windows ClearType renderers cannot perfectly address. No amount of "settings" adjustment will physically realign the subpixels to standard RGB stripes.
ABL Aggression: The "dull" colors are physically mandated by the Auto Brightness Limiter to prevent organic decay (burn-in). Falsely attributing this to "settings" ignores the thermal and chemical limitations of the organic diodes.

I like this monitor. I only purchased it to get 120 frames on apex. I play on a ps5. My only complaint is that there is no obvious way to tell if it is off (unless I just cannot find the light). It always wants to clean the screen when I’m done playing but I can never tell if it turns off afterwards or not.

OLED display is a game changer. Deeper blacks, brighter whites. Better dynamic range overall, this monitor delivers in quality. It has a solid build, and the added rgb lighting in the back is aesthetically pleasing on my computer set up. This display being a 480hz display makes it one of the higher refresh rates available, I did however experience the display not decting at random times when set to 480hz. Not sure if it’s an issue with my computer system or the display itself but it is something to note.
Endgame 480z Oled, you can stop chasing the dragon

A solid Oled thats faster than I can see. This is a matte panel not glossy, you will get more clarity from glossy. HDR is decent, but I would recommend calibrating.
For those curious about 240hz vs 480hz, if your pc can push 480hz in a game it is worth it. Otherwise get a glossy 240hz.

This OLED monitor delivers an outstanding visual experience that’s immediately noticeable from the moment you power it on. The colors are incredibly vibrant and accurate, with true blacks that make images and videos look deep and lifelike. Unlike traditional LCD panels, there’s no backlight bleed at all—dark scenes stay perfectly black, which adds a level of immersion that’s hard to go back from.
Motion handling is another major strength. Fast-moving content looks smooth and clean, with virtually no ghosting or blur. Whether you’re gaming, watching movies, or scrolling through content, everything feels responsive and fluid. Input lag is minimal, making it a great choice for competitive gaming as well as everyday use.

The monitor itself is fantastic. I was on the fence about the 4K LG a step above this one or this monitor. I decided to save the money (this one was open box) and I'm not disappointed. This is my first OLED monitor and it's well worth the money already. I came from a curved monitor so it is a bit of an adjustment, but I don't even notice it anymore. My only complaint is the power cord being a little short compared to others.

Definitely an upgrade in every aspect from regular LCD monitors. Rich colors and perfect black levels make any experience ten times better. The insanely fast response times and 480hz refresh rate also make it suitable for any competitive games you play. So for the part of your setup you’ll be looking at the most, make sure you invest in something great.

I got this for my boyfriend for gaming, and he is so impressed with the refresh rate on this monitor. I can see how much clearer the images are, def worth the price, he loves it.

Very simple to setup easy to understand the settings decent speakers overall good quality only downside is trying to feed your cables through the stand while moving the monitor up and down very likely they could snap if you moved it too much

Best monitor I've ever owned honestly, the high refresh rate just helps in just about any game especially if you are using DLSS or any kind of Frame generation tech. It helps in providing a low latency experience compared to other monitors. PLEASE BUY IT if you want a high fps 1440p monitor. The folks at Best Buy were really helpful in helping me choose the right monitor for my needs.

The color great the speed accurate but i promise you until we get to 540 in frames you will not see a noticable difference from 240 its a hair better in speed but unless your a pro and you have a 4090 or higher you wont even get those frames inhabe a 4090 and i got to 480 but not in the 1% lows thats the trick and its not consistent and the only game i play to get the frames that high is overwatch and it just doesnt work like it should i say mabe the 60 series will have the ability to hit frames in the 1% that make it noticeable

Surprisingly simple stand/monitor assembly. Worked flawlessly the first time. Great picture that rivals the Apple display. Using it with a MacBook Pro M4. Would have liked a data port to Thunderbolt cable.
