Don’t Buy This - LG 4K 240Hz / 480Hz OLED 32GS95UE Monitor
So the LG 32GS95UE 4K 240Hz OLED just went on sale for preorder, and luckily I’ve had hands on time with this monitor, as well as the ASUS model, so I can tell you where it’s good, and where its so bad you’ll need an eyewash station.

Now the good news is, it's a 4K 240Hz OLED with the ability to go up to 480Hz at 1080p, which actually looked better than normal 1080p to me thanks to the upscaling capabilities of the monitor, and as you can imagine a 480Hz refresh rate combined with the near instantaneous response times of OLED genuinely gives you near screenshot levels of motion performance as there’s almost no noticeable motion blur on that panel, but let’s be honest nobody is going to actually use this monitor at 1080p regardless of how good the upscaling is, so in reality the way most people will use this is as a 4K 240Hz OLED, which we already have with the Alienware AW3225QF, which as a side note is much better now that the firmware and packaging has been updated, but I digress…

Sure the inky blacks of OLED and lightning fast response times of 240Hz are excellent, but what does this monitor offer other than a goofy ah 1080p 480Hz mode that the Alienware doesn’t?

3 things. 1 good, and 2 bad.

Higher brightness. During my time with this monitor I did get a chance to measure brightness, and I’m happy to report that it is significantly brighter than the QD OLED monitors I’ve tested so far at around 30% brighter in a 3% window, about 45% brighter in a 10% window, and roughly 20% brighter in a 100% window than current 4K 240Hz QD OLED as It can do roughly 1300nits, 700nits, and 300nits in those window sizes. This is very important for HDR impact, something that QD OLED monitors lack in my opinion since all the ones I’ve tested severely compromise full screen brightness in their peak 1000nits mode meaning you should really be running them in the standard 400-480nits capped mode they ship at to get the best full screen brightness putting them well behind LG and making them somewhat incapable of delivering really impactful HDR scenes.

Now that said OLED TVs still destroy both of these panels, so there's a lot of room for improvement, but this is much better on the LG panel regardless.
