Is the lg 32gs95ue really this bad ?

[xhackforeverxdx]

I bought this Monitor local and i am fking hating it ( cant return it sadly ) i come form a acer x27p and i am so fking disappointed colors look so depressing compared to it its insane is there any way to get any more brightniss/color out of it ( service menu maybe ) or smth are the qd oleds any better some say colors pop more ? i have a lg c1 oled it looks like 50x better then this monitor even tho its way older what the fk is going on i feel like i flushed 1.2k down the drain 

 

Basicly what i want to know is is there a way to make it look less ass / is qd oled that much better ?

This one that has excellent reviews ? A bit lacking/average in brightness tho

ye that one i also read the same review but i am telling u compared to my old x27 is looks like ass i watched some youtube vids about it where others also talked about the colors beeing muted compared to qd oled ( the problem seems to be the white subpixels in hdr destroying the color volume )

WOLED colors are generally worse than ips or qd-oled, but it shouldn't be complete ass on paper.

 

The one thing rtings didn't test was color volume for this monitor, lowering brightness may help, but if it still looks bad after lowering brightness then not sure, make sure it's not locked to sRGB mode.

i have tryed it all no settings even come close to the hdr perfomance of my old ips 386 dimming zone x27 like fuck i cant believe i payed 1200 euros for this i am so mad hahah guess i will try to sell it used and hope i only lose 200/300 euros like if u see them side by side its not even close u know by any chance if the qd oleds are better ? i have seen many reviews saying there colors are ALOT better only thing bright on this fking lg is the white but thats about it

qd-oled colors are better, i wouldn't say it's alot, but don't use the panel you got as representation of what WOLED looks like, as it shouldn't look like ass, i still think something's wrong but it's hard to figure out sometimes.

 

The last time i got a monitor that looked super bad was because of a firmware issue that locked the monitor to srgb with low brightness no matter what lol...

Dont think thats it this woled panel just has a horrible color volume should have looked into it more i didnt know the diff between  woled/qd oled would be this huge i just saw oled and was thinking it has to be great in terms of colors but this panel just isnt and i feel like a idot not reading more about it before buying

Can you relax dude? You can beat yourself up in your thoughts instead of typing it out for us all to read.

 

There should not be a huge difference between WOLED and QD-OLED.

You even mentioned that the LG C1 OLED looks 50x better. That is WOLED.

 

Are your settings messed up? I NEVER turn on HDR on Windows, MacOS, stream boxes, TV's, etc.

SDR has always looked great and I am not interested in the mess of every company implementing HDR differently.

 

How does the 32GS95UE look with all HDR things turned off? Both the OS settings and the TV settings.

Are you using some messed up Color Profile on the OS-side?

 

You're doing a lot of bitching and no explaining.

I know that the c1 is also woled thats why i pointed it out ( its not as good as the acer x27 but still alot better then the Monitor) no matter what i set this thing to colors look pretty lifeless compared to my old acer x27 that used fald and quantum dots  and i am not imagining it this vid also talks about it lg basicly cheats the hdr tests with there white subpixels to push high brightness in test patterns since they always use white to check the brightniss ( bright white highlights look amazing in cyberpunk and similar to my x27 without the blooming) while colors dont even get close to that brightniss making them feel desaturated its its NOT a small diff he also says its huge and thats what i am seeing comapred to my old monitor that yes isnt oled so it aint 100% fair but still especially yellow looks despressingly bad on this and u can also see that its one of worst in his data

Depending on your Display u might can tell the diff this is my Galaxy fold 5 screen playing a * yellow * vid compared to the same vid on the lg monitor always hard to show smth like this in a picture but the diff if u sit infront of it is INSANE the fold 5 is at 30% brightniss while the lg is in sdr mode gamer 2 with maxed out brightness ( inc there peak brightniss thing set to high)

It's not just WOLED vs. QD-OLED. Sure, QD-OLED is brighter with colors, but WOLED is still great. But since people only talk in hyperbels, something is either "best-in-class" or "bad". There is no in between...

 

RTINGS color volume measurements:

Spoiler

 

This monitor uses basically the same display panel as the LG C-series TVs. So colors should look pretty much identical to your C1 in HDR. And reviews also point towards the same performance as other WOLED monitors. What picture mode is your C1 in when you compare colors?

 

The monitor either misconfigured or faulty.

 

Why try to sell it? Either go through RMA to try and get it replaced or flat out go for a refund.

You're in Germany, so even a refund should be as easy as returning the product and getting your refund.

Did you ever end up getting the Asus? I'm considering getting the LG, but if it's as bad as you say, I might consider the Asus.

Kinda odd, I've seen comparisons from many and strage that you'd experience such drastic difference. Something seems off. No way LCD can look better, let alone low zone MiniLED one. Some pro color monitors and MiniLED ones with thousands of zones that can be much brighter too maybe. 

I wouldn't really compare phones as they can get higher brightness though so yeah. That said some that compared both QD-OLED vs WOLED mention it's not some big difference really. Especially when anyone upgrading from LCD that is worse tech.

I'll check this one out myself, I have it on the way.

wasnt acitve here for a while and did u get urs / and are u enjoying it ? i went back to my acer x27p since i like the way brighter picture and ye the x27p * only * has 384 zones but reaches 1100 nits full screen and ye the blacklevels are not as good as a oled of course but in most games i tested ( cyberpunk / witcher 3 ) the higher brightniss/color brightniss looks better in almost all scenarios to me also a small edit the x27p has 1300 nits real Scene brightniss while the lg only gets up to 450 ( source rtings) my eyes just prf brightniss over blacklevels i guess

Yes I have and it's awesome, it's way better than Acer one. It's OLED no LCD can compare to it's contrast. I've seen 1000+ zone ones and they're crap, still will show haloing as it's not per-pixel based. Obviously no OLED is as bright as higher end LCD with MiniLEDs but that doesn't matter as much, I mean doesn't make it better. I guess only if you're in fairly bright room then sure, but I don't have strong lights or sun hitting my monitor.

 

Yeah those percent window will be somewhat lower, but at least to me it doesn't matter really, disabling energy savings and enabling setting peak brightness to high the monitor is more than bright to me in general and in HDR it pops quite well that I'm good really. Try those settings if you haven't. I was ok with out of the box default kinda, but auto dimming at times was distracting a bit, also setting medium color temp.

 

Using it also with light in the room and not in dark room. Having bit brighter display but having zones is quite a minus to me. Maybe I am more sensitive to very high brightness and you use it in more bright room, but still, contrast is unbeatable and haloing is horrible to me as it's noticeable on monitors with many more zones. I never saw MiniLED LCD monitos as something to get only for higher brightness as it's still LCD and they were always obscenely expensive and not worth it at all and with all their cons with zones etc. Also I wanted this monitor for fast response and dual mode too. Also this OLED on average when configured is still brighter than general decent LCD monitors that are not MiniLED ones so I am happy really.

 

Really if HDR is the focus aside from response time for fast gaming OLED still and really is the only true HDR type of display as it's per pixel illumination. 

But yeah, if you haven't change mentioned settings on OLED and try then, in SDR it's more than enough for me and in some HDR movies and games looked good.

Well atleast ur happy with it  i still have it sitting in my room not plugged in collecting dust listed it on ebay a few days ago will see if i get it sold for a decent price i never really noticed the local dimming in real content i only notice it on the desktop when my mouse goes over smth black i will use this Monitor until it dies i guess haha to my eye nothing beats the 1300 nits neon signs in cyberpunk ^^

I mean use what you prefer obviously. In most dark content and contrast scenes local dimming just kills it for me. I mainly use dark themes on Windows and in CP2077 the game to me looks really awesome, the neon signs may not blind me like irl that hurts my eyes but they're bright enough and the scene contrast between dark and light is quite the visual improvement I'd expect from real life. 

 

If you haven't I'd try mentioned settings for higher brightness if you haven't though, as out of the box it's not super bright, if that's only how you used it.

I tryed tons of settings nothing worked i found some posts about firmware issus causing hdr to be limited to 600 peak i 100% can confirm that cause in windows it also reported 600 max ( the inbuild calibaration only showed me 560 ) maybe u have a newer version then i do cause highlights did not pop at all the neon signs looked pretty dull only the whiteish stuff had some brightniss in it red was the worst in my testing red stuff that was suppost to be bright was just sad

I've checked a bit and it seems it may model/firmware dependent. Mine is LG 32GS95UV-B model, from what I've seen it has slight brightness increase. The clipping issues may be to DSC so I take it firmware fixes this. Try to update the firmware then disable DSC and check. Also CP2007 has in game HDR optimization options.

Ye when i was still using it i tryed updating it via there on screen control software and it kinda just forze and nothing happend  Its w/e maybe i just got unlucky i already put it back in its box waiting for a buyer i am done with it ^^ anyway enjoy urs with the better firmeware haha
