This monitor is amazing quality for the price, the build quality is great, the stand is sturdy and the display is crisp.

Most things said in other reviews are spot on. It is fantastic value if the cons dont bother you but it is not for everyone
so take note
OSD is buggy and RGB lights keep resetting to rainbow puke
Hardware support HDR Peak 1000 but does not have a HDR1000 mode (although HDR400 True black is just better for gaming IMO)
Also has the usual QD oled issues like black level raise in bright rooms but all QD-oleds have that.
there is also the text fringing issue but honestly I have 20/20 vision and it was such a non issue I almost started to question if this was a qd-oled. (yes it is a qd-oled)
Fortunately this appears to be a 3rd gen qd oled so the black level raise is far less noticeable and greyish (not magenta) so it doesnt affect color accuracy or have a redish tint gaming in a bright room.
As long as none of those are a deal breaker for you and you want a great HDR experience for gaming then this monitor is for you.
Just check that the game you want to play has proper HDR support.

For an everyday consumer this is a 4/5
For someone who knows these monitors and can deal with the issues then it's a 5/5 just purely for the value.

Monitor arrived today. Most of what is said above is pretty accurate. This appears to be a 3rd gen Samsung QD-OLED display as it turns grey not magenta in bright environments instead of magenta like 1st and second gen panels.
Some issues.
1. OSD needs work...a few bugs present but nothing too bad
2. RGB lights at back sometimes revert to rainbow puke which is a slight annoyance (but i read the reviews and expected this)
3. Manual really needs work. I locked OSD hoping it would fix the rainbow puke reverting but couldn't unlock it and the manual had no info. managed to fix it following the manual from other screens. This could be a headache for normal users. Not sure if wootware will support issues like this.

HDR only appears to have HDR 400 True black. so although it has peak 1000 capability the software doesn't allow the use of it.
HDR does look great though. slightly better than my WOLED TV.

I would only recommend this strictly for gaming thou. in particular for HDR or competitive gaming.
The text fringing issue is a non-issue as it's barely....and i mean barely visible. I really had to look. If I didn't know it should be there I would have used this monitor for months before realising the issue even existed.

Overall very impressed so far. only rating it 4 because this monitor isn't perfect for everybody because of the issues listed before

Such a beautiful sharp monitor. I think the thing that really grabs you when you first start using it is how sharp everything looks and bright, colours and blacks of course look gorgeous.

I've been using it for gaming and work purposes (Elden Ring and Cyberpunk) - both look fantastic on it. For work purposes, reading text etc I've not had an issue with text issues like Oled's are known for, maybe it just doesn't affect me like others.

The brightness being a QD-Oled is actually quite insane, this monitor is seriously bright - I've been using the "Gaming HDR" mode. I also dig how you can have the monitors refresh rate displayed on the monitor to be able to check if VRR is working properly when changing modes and experimenting. The build quality is really solid, feel sturdy. I love how thin the monitor is too. I run multiple monitors, 4k pretty decent spec tv (60hz, vrr,allm, 72 local dimming zones, solid colours) situated a bit further away and another 24" 144hz IPS panel. When I boot up or just have a something displayed the difference in brightness and black levels is off the charts.

All in all for the cash outlay I don't think you're beating this price to quality anytime soon

Fantastic value for an OLED monitor. The colors are vibrant and the visual quality truly blew me away. I’m currently limited to 120Hz due to using it with my older gaming laptop, but I can’t wait to see what it can do once I connect it to my new PC build with 240Hz.

Stunning colours , good FPS , easy to setup and quick delivery

This is an excellent monitor, but the technology behind it is still fundamentally flawed in terms of text fringing. Though, I notice it less, it can get annoying. No matter what, there is no software solution that will solve this issue. Text fringing on the top and bottom of text can be distracting. The overall fringing on everything UI-related makes it feel like something is wrong.

Regardless, if you’re primarily using this monitor for games or video, this is hands down an incredible monitor to own. If you’re doing that, this is easily a 5/5 monitor, especially for the price.

If you’re primarily going to be doing office work or coding or writing documents, this is fundamentally the wrong monitor to be getting, closer to a 2/5. I fall into both categories as a programmer and gamer, so for me, the monitor is a 4/5. It blows me away how the monitor can dim to the level that I need to turn off the lights in my room to be able to see very dark scenes. As in, in a game where it is super dark, the monitor accurately recreates that darkness so much that you need to adjust your eyes in real life. That’s the kind of thing that has me wondering if I should really be giving it a 4/5, and not a 5/5, despite the obvious flaws of QD-OLED.

The only other gripes would be the inability to adjust settings in HDR, the frequency it would prompt to do screen maintenance, and the lack of a dedicated on-off button. I frequently turn off my monitors and having that additional click in the OSD is slightly annoying.


I used my iPhone 12 screen as reference to set colours accurately. While my iPhone 12 screen could get brighter, I don’t think that matters much here. In terms of absolutes, it was about as bright as 40% brightness on my iPhone.

After much debate I decided to buy this and I'm mostly surprised.

I do have a few complaints though. The super glossy screen is a magnet for smudges and dirt and if there was a way to turn the LED Lights off that's at the back of the monitor, that would be nice too.

As far as HDR goes, I cannot complain at all as the screen does get bright enough to almost blind you, especially in a dark room

The screen itself performs beautifully and is as advertised. The OSD needs updating. I want to turn off the rgb lights at the back and always have them off when I turn it on but it continues to come on at startup. Finding the settings you are looking for is also more complicated than it needs to be.

Introduction & Unboxing​

The packaging is fairly generic black and brown (and sticky sorry I got excited) with a few wootware additions and the specs listed on the box.



What's in the Boxed Box​

1 x 27" QD-OLED Panel
1 x Adjustable Monitor Stand
1 x DisplayPort 1.4 Cable
1 x HDMI 2.1 Cable (Website mentions two, but I only found one)
1 x Clover Power Cable and Power Adapter (It’s massive—definitely not what she said)
1 x Instruction Manual
2 x Colour Calibration Sheets (Factory calibration at this price is impressive +5 points)
A packet of 75x75 Vesa extension things this allows you to use any 100x100 Vesa with the 75x75 mounting holes I am currently using this on a monitor arm.


First Impressions:​

The monitor is surprisingly light, but not cheap-feeling, coming from a 32" panel with the PSU built in its a bit surprising. The build quality feels solid, with a mix of metal and plastic for the panel and stand.


The front of the monitor is sleek with black bezels and a gunmetal finish on the housing with a small "wootware" centre on the chin. The back is more about the RGB, which looks nice on the sides with good diffusion, but the ring of RGB has visible LED hotspots throughout. Like a mullet its business in the front and Dik-sko in the back.


The bezels vary in size—1.2cm on the sides, 0.6cm on top, 0.3cm on the bottom, and 1.0cm gunmetal chin below that as mentioned above


No monitor assembly tips for noobs here as its easy. So no duct tape, lube or butts necessary - @superrob


The monitor is extremely stable on the stand as its the classic V-shaped legs with one screw to connect the legs to the stand and a click in action to connect the stand to the panel. The stand is fully adjustable and can even be orientated vertically for all you discord mods to make keeping tabs on your e-cats easier (I think that's the term).



The “Boring” Section (Except Not Really, Because It Has a Nipple)​

The monitor has no physical buttons other than the innovative “Nipple.”
One press powers it on, and another brings up a quick menu with the following options:

Centre – "Enter Menu"
Left – "Exit Guide"
Right – "Hotkey 1"
Up – "Hotkey 2"
Down – "Power"

This layout is super easy to use.

Display Performance​

This monitor boasts a 240Hz refresh rate at 1440p, which can be achieved using both the DisplayPort and HDMI cables. The monitor covers the following percentages of each colour gamut:
DCI-P3: 99%
sRGB: 100%
Adobe RGB: 99%

It supports 10-bit color depth and is factory-calibrated with a Delta E < 2 for each colour gamut. The only downside is that it only supports HDR400, which isn’t fantastic, but the SDR settings are excellent out of the box.


As a QD-OLED panel, it doesn’t need any tricks to achieve that buttery smooth 0.03ms response time, and the viewing angles are incredible.


I didn’t experience any VRR flicker on my unit, although text fringing is noticeable. This jarring affect can be reduced with ClearType or other adjustments.




​
Design & Build Quality:​

The base of the stand and the internal components are made of metal, providing solid stability. The outer casing of the stand is plastic, which helps to reduce the overall weight but doesn’t compromise on sturdiness.


One thoughtful addition is the headphone hanger, its not in the best place, located at the back of the stand but is nice to have, there is also a cable management "channel" but it placed vertically like a spine along the stand which makes no sense.

The panel itself is extremely thin however upon measurement it seems the Panel is only 26.5" this can be seen in the "Product Description" on wootware however the main page and box advertise 27" however I will let this slide as we have all rounded up an inch in our lifetime.

On the back of the monitor, there’s a small box which houses the ports and RGB lighting and presumably some other fancy stuff to run the monitor.


The back of the monitor has the following:
DisplayPort 1.4
DisplayPort 2
HDMI
Power
Audio Aux Passthrough

​
Gayming & Media Consumption​
Its just simply better. If you are a person who plays games and you are on an IPS, VA or TN Panel and have not experienced OLED its just better there is not much more to it. Everything is sharper faster smoother cleaner. The best way I can describe it is that it is like going for 60hz to 144hz for the first time except its on steroids. If you are into competitive games the latency combined with the high refresh rate is incredible. if your into Single-Player eye candy I promise you Doom Eternal is like a different game (Thats the only "good" looking game I've played on it).

Only thing to note is that the panel is Glossy which is a double edge sword. Great for Colours even better for last second mug-shots features your man boobs.



Office & Creative Work​

For creative professionals, the colour accuracy and 10-bit colour depth make this a fantastic choice. However, if you're using it for office work like reading emails or browsing spreadsheets, the text fringing might become a problem. Some people don’t notice it as much, but for me, it was pretty jarring.



$Value$​

At this Price point there is nothing in South Africa to compare if you are on the hunt for an OLED and have the money you've bought this already so ignore this section.



Conclusion​

Pros:
Incredible price-to-performance ratio, especially in this economy.
240Hz refresh rate and lightning-fast pixel latency are perfect for competitive gamers.
The OLED panel offers stunning image quality and color accuracy.
VESA 75x75 mountable (works on 100x100 without extenders).
No VRR flicker on my unit.
Is Glossy so Colours are "enhanced"

Cons:
Text fringing can be an issue, especially for office work.
Glossy panel means occasional reflections result in my man boobs make a cameo during dark scenes.
The bezels leave a little to be desired

If you have been on the fence about OLED and plan to use it mostly for games videos and movies, trust me when I say this IT IS WORTH IT. If however you plan to use this for work which involves a lot of text and or number for me I couldn't recommend it due to the text fringing however if you work requires anything to do with colour such as video editing or colour correction this could be the panel for you as well.

Bought the monitor blind, pleasantly surprised!
Great build quality, easy setup and most of all, incredible visuals! the warranty is a bonus.
Highly recommend, its massively cheaper than any competitive panel.
The saturation out of the box is a bit high, its the only setting i adjusted to match my other 2 screens as i am a 3d artist.

Completely worth the price in comparison to other OLED's, and the upgrade in colour accuracy from IPS is massive.

Probably the best monitor all in all at its size given the price. It looks stunning, response times are insane and HDR is out of this world with the high peak brightness and the fact its OLED

If you're using HDR in windows just remember to grab the HDR Calibration app and set up an HDR colour profile - it will auto load when you toggle HDR on
