Our verdict

A sharp Ultra HD QD-OLED gaming monitor with high refresh, deep blacks and several burn-in safeguards, plus a glare reducing coating. Logo dimming does not work in PC mode, so desktop users still need care.

Overview

Gamers who want Ultra HD sharpness and OLED speed together get a QD-OLED panel with a fast refresh rate and near zero response time. A pulsating heat pipe and brightness controls work in the background to reduce burn-in risk.

Ultra HD detail with OLED contrast and speed covers both single player showpieces and fast shooters on one screen. Some burn-in protections are limited in PC mode, which matters for static desktop work.

Who it's for

Enthusiast gamers with strong graphics cards get sharp, fast and contrast rich visuals. Spreadsheet and coding marathons with fixed layouts suit an IPS screen better.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Sharp Ultra HD OLED
  • High refresh for its resolution
  • Glare reducing coating
  • Burn-in protection tools
Cons
  • Logo detection off in PC mode
  • Needs a strong GPU for high frame rates
  • Burn-in risk with static content

Performance notes

Contrast and speed come from self-lit QD-OLED pixels, while the Glare Free coating cuts reflections without the haze of a heavy matte layer. Heat is pulled from the panel by a pulsating heat pipe, which slows the wear that leads to burn-in.
