Recently LG Display showd off their concept of an HDR1000 True Black capable monitor. This display would mark the first ever capable of truly good HDR performance on a PC monitor, and it some ways it may be even better than TVs.
The strange thing is that looking at the specs were talking about a current generation 27" 1440p 540Hz WOLED with likely an RGWB sub pixel arrangement, which has many wondering how LG was able to achieve so much more brightness. In this video I go over what future panel technology will make this possible, and when it will be available at a 4K resolution.
sincerly on my oled monitor I just use 50 brightnes 50 contrast (no need max value 100)

HDR 1000 on an OLED monitor would be a dream. I'll probably settle for True Black 600 for a couple of years until brighter models go mainstream.

All OLEDs flicker, and cause eye strain and headaches. So there is no perfect OLED.

I would pay $2000 for a 32” 4K OLED with VesaDisplayHDR 1000 certification.

Dude I swear this is the only guy that sees the obvious. These OLED monitors are not bright enough. Thank you for saying it.

There are more then one issues with the OLED monitors... HDR is the least one. It's the ABL for one. For another it is the low nit color fading (where around 1-5 nits the color will lose accuracy and will mostly bleak out). Third one is 1-5% gray vertical banding. Fourth is the poor black performance, the black crush (which is so ironic as OLEDs are touted as "perfect blacks" but in reality they are suffering from properly performing in near black domain where they will just crush the detail), fifth is the color banding. Sixth is the posterization which OLEDs are notorious for. Seventh the lack of RGB pixel stripe and using instead WRGB mix or diamond shape mix.
Like my guy the lack of HDR brightness is literally the least troublesome part of an OLED monitor.
I wish reviewers would actually focus on parts that OLED is suffering from instead of just focusing on positive sides that destroy LCDs like fast pixel response, the self emissive pixels, no backlight bleed and blooming etc...
Like OLED monitors aren't uniform. They have a lot of issues that for example LCDs don't suffer from at all named above. If reviewers did things right and tested OLEDs and pitted OLED monitors against one another to distinguish good OLEDs from piss poor OLEDs that would be great instead of just going "oh this oled destroys LCDs".

Seriously I don’t anyone need to very high brightness on a monitor that one will be used at close proximity on a desk.
I’m just waiting to see PG27UCWM reviews but till now no news of it since it was revealed in CES 2026 early this year

Excellent HDR Videos
Tbh, if you have a thermal camera you could easily test your thesis, deuterated OLED emitters are rated for a temperature of 80°C. Show moving content with a low ABL but high peak areas to keep display content fresh to minimize dimming and measure how hot the bright spots get. If it never gets above 40°C then they certainly are limiting, though the closer you get the more reasonable to dim the panel even below 80°C to account for thermal runaway. I think if it was PHOLED they would divulge that information, as they showed of a laptop monitor with phosphorescent layers, but this technology is limited to mobile displays for now (that are entirely different from WOLED anyway, featuring top-emission emitters for every color and no color filter hence why phone displays are so good)
It might just be that it's the same technology and LG is getting more confident in it's stability and thermal runaway under high voltage conditions. Maybe improvements in TFT materials as well. You also can't endlessly stack emitters, as we've seen that increasing emitters can cause DSE to increase. I dunno, wish these manufacturers were more open about their panels it's hard to know what is going on sometimes.

Great video! Very informative
More User Perspectives
We need 39" 5k2k 180 Hz TrueBlack HDR1000, Dolby Vision 2 & HDR10+
@MadLadsAnonymous32:9, dual-4K, 240Hz, OLED, glossy, and I'm yours forever.
@VisstnokWake me up when 4K OLED 360hz+ monitors arrive 😎
@Shadowsmoke11I wish more companies would incorporate the 37” 16:9 ratio size. I would buy one in a heart beat.
@Ej.504I'm not sure what the issue is, I've been gaming on a LG OLED48CX for over 6 years now. 4K, 120hz refresh, g-sync - what more do I need?
@youtube-ventura24.5" 540hz OLED mogs
@HiImArcherrOnly 560nit? It's barely brighter than the sun through two reflections on rough white walls? Are they ever going to breach 1000nit, like mLED has already done for 10 years now?
@XaymarPerfect OLED would be 32" 6K HDR1000 or 27" 5K HDR1000. This is still several generations behind perfection, unfortunately. But a step in the right direction.
@Doctor_TechnopolisWhatever happened with LG gaming monitor?
@jeji5860I'm buying the Alienware 5k2k this year ASAP. On Alienware QD-Oled V0 with the Gsync module still.
2028 HDR1000 ultrawide with a 1440p dual mode 480hz is the end goal.
nah, because its OLED, then the brighter it is then faster it'll burn in. theres no fix for it
@あなた以外の誰でもない27” is tiny. Good for a handheld, maybe
@Jared2500Finally some literal light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm still holding on to AORUS FO32U2, for lack of worthwhile upgrades in HDR peak brightness. The day this display is available in 32" 4K 240, I'll get one.
I can't wait for the day, where something that is supposed to be bright, is actually bright, not "kinda bright-ish, I guess".
Also, it sucks so much that I have to switch the monitor mode from "HDR PEAK 1000" to "HDR" with APL high, just so I can actually see things in HDR movies, when the scenes are cloudy - dark.
Man, I wish these would come out before the end of the year, so I can play GTA 6 with the HDR presentation it deserves. I got the PS5 Pro hooked up to this monitor, but even with perfect calibration in games and system settings (Gaming Tech guides), there is never a really bright object on screen, just a neat overall contrast.
I have watched so many "using a TV as a monitor!" videos the last months, it almost gets tempting to switch over to the dark side, just so you can see real light.
Anyone know if TCL is Making SQD Monitors?
@DeepStone-6it doesnt make sense to compare monitor brightness to TVs. When will this nonsense stop?🤡🤡
You re not sitting so close infront of your TV like your monitor. OLED Monitors are already so bright that it can get uncomfy.
my perfect monitor would be a dual mode 5k/1440p 27inch glossy rgb stripe tandem oled at 540hz+ with no gray banding or uniformity issues
@JaeeezZI only use SDR so I'm already pretty close to a peak monitor. 250 nits with sRGB color space feels very nice and comfortable to me
@SkorpionHGIf you have the money/desk space I’d buy a LG C5/C6 42 or 48inch as a dedicated monitor and single player games. Alongside a 27inch high refresh rate monitor for the the competitive games. I initially had a XG32UCWMG and a PG32UCDM3, both great but terrible HDR/not bright at all. I found a used C5 42inch for $500 and got an open box 480hz 27inch monitor for $450.
@Tweed_ToneA "perfect OLED" with WRGB pixels LOL if this doesn't convince everyone this guy is the biggest shill nothing will.
@EvoPortal360hz, 4k, tandem OLED, 600nits, glossy true black, 39-45 inches with 1500R and thin bezels, that is the perfect monitor to me.
@metrodyneI am highly sensitive to QD-OLED text fringing from the triangle sub-pixels.
Does anyone have experience comparing RGWB striped WOLEDS with LCDs for colored text clarity? I would just need better than 1080p.
Or am I best served by just waiting for true RGB-stripe OLEDs?
Bro what about ultra wide oleds ? Is there anything new and good
@hayamu709Early 2028 for 4k. That's his prediction . For people wondering
@arm8636when will tcl csot monitors come
@AhmadAli-kv2hoI don't get the design of the WOLED technology from LG. OLED started as a single layer of 3 different selfemmisive subpixels. Cut the blue subpixel was degrading way faster leading to burn in. Then they came up with the idea to stack 3 layers of blue and yellow for every subpixel to create white light that is filtered to produce the primaries loosing 66.67% of the overall brightness but mostly eliminating burn in. To fix the brightness they added a white subpixel but they lose color volume. The technology matured enough, now getting to 4 layers, brightness is good enough, burn in is almost nonexistent. My point is that they should ditch the color filters and the white subpixel and simply stack 4 layers of the primaries R, G and B run them at 60% of the power get twice the brightness, perfect color volume and with a little smart management no burn in.
@lucianbadoi6792it's crazy how far behind monitors were until OLED hit the market and i am very hopeful for the next few years seeing how quickly OLEDs improved over the last few years.
@Lxcx311Perfect and RGWB don’t go together.
@andrewmorris3479BURN-IN is the biggest problem with Oled monitors, nothing else
@artarealmblazerThe 2 best let downs is oled hdr monitors vs tv and pc hdr vs ps5 pro hdr. The hdr on ps5 pro on oled tv is so much better then my pc on oled monitor.
@KonsfpsAlways peak content from The Display Guy
@andrewchristensenprogressa58943d GEN WOLED 32 4K or 4th GEN Tandem OLED 27 on 5070 TI 7800X3D BUILD?
@kainproductionAll’s I know is I got the gigabyte GO27Q24G after watching your review on it and I’m loving it, it’s bright asf and I don’t even have it in HDR 1300, it’s just HDR vivid, even with sunlight coming directly onto my room window it’s still bright af in broad daylight
@cesarvarela543839 5k or nothing
@Kbang86no no no. 65" 8K is "Perfect"
@badpuppy3inb4 1000 nits on whites and like 100 nits on pure colors
@phahqI want only a 32 inch 8k local dimming monitor with glas panel and 120hz 😭
