Monitor quality control…is it actually getting worse? (Aorus rant)

Even pixel failures are pretty rare. If i want only a standard monitor without special features it would be my first choice. If you have not enough desk space maybe buy a new desk.

I have for my Oled 48″ and X34GS a 2 x 1 m table. And for the AW3821DW another table.

If you want only 16:9 panels buy a Gigabyte FI27Q or FI27Q-P. It has pretty much, on black clearly visible ips glow and it’s not very fast but never had dust and only some monitors with pixel failures. As i said Innolux panels have better quality as Samsung or AUO.

My XB323QKNV with Innolux panel had also no dust. The Sharp panel which is used for the FI27Q-X had many dust spots and i heared in forums a lot about the same problem.

I wouldnt touch this monitor anymore, because bgr is a big disadvantage for sharpness. The panel was pretty slow especially for 240 hz:

For me it’s a fake 240 hz monitor only a few transistions are good enough for 240 hz.

Even the 160 hz LG 34GN850 is better:

For cheap made AUO, Samsung, BOE, CSOT, Sharp panels only brute force selection is working. No choice for someone who has no time, free money and nervs.

Even for me who is used too a huge panel lottery is it questionable to do further selection if the PG32UQX lottery is giving me 5 times in a row dust and in some cases pixel failures. It’s a huge amount of wasted money for weeks. Even 4 PG32UQX i got at once are binding arround 14000 Euros. For the last 2 i bought i spend arround 7000 Euros. Still waiting for refund.

Maybe i will try one PG32UQX and G9 Neo. If it’s also sucking im done with this until resellers with fast refund process and no aggressions because of many returns (even if it has obvious failures, many sellers are greedy* and want only sell even it’s trash, so more than 5 per those sellers is risky) are offering them. Like Saturn and Mediamarkt in Germany.

*When you explain them the failures and send them photos of dust and pixel failures they are saying they have understanding that this unacceptable for such high prices. But you hear interlined they don’t really care and it’s all about earning money. I told them as a seller i wont sell such faulty products because nobody who spend 2000-3500 Euros will keep monitors with obvious pixel failures or dust. Even the halo effect or fans are unacceptable for most. One seller has 7 returned PG32UQX for sale . None from me.

One seller i returned G9 Neo, want “repair” it by swapping the panel (panel gamble again) at a service partner. And the monitor will likely have scratches (harsh handling) and marks because of opening the case.

Besides the panel is not available. You have to wait weeks and the return period is over. Maybe the monitor also makes popping noises afterwards or it made it already. I kicked the most G9 after seeing the panel defects, so warmup wasn’t done after 10 minutes of use for Eizo test . Only the first one was tested by me about it’s capabilities.

Maybe i gamble for a pixel failure free and homogen LG 32EP950. I like the blooming free, pretty sharp (compared with my 48″ in 55″ wrgb oled its much sharper) image even if brightness is pretty low.

Edit:

A 7th PG32UQX is clean, i think. I looked for every cm^2 2 times. Also from different angles.

Lol 7 x 3500 Euros, to get one without ****.

I would advice you to use a fibre cable and a different desk. I have a 15 meter hdmi 2.1 cable from CSL/Primewire (which really works with full bandwith, the china **** on amazon is not working, some only with hdmi 1.4, many with random disconnects and flickering) and put it on a small table in another room. So i have not remove one of the existent, flawless monitors to test it. I had to do this before and was much more angry if i got ****.

The good qc monitors are clearly in the 21:9 ultra wide segment with LG panels. It’s since years the sweetspot for “standard” monitors without an insane lottery.Even pixel failures are pretty rare.
