What 32" OLED monitor do yall recommend?

I currently have a 32" HP OMEN 1440p 165hz.

I'm looking possibly at these options:

- GIGABYTE - MO32U - $650
- SAMSUNG 32” Odyssey QD-OLED G8 (G81SF) - $799
- LG 32GX850A-B - $799
- ASUS ROG Strix 32” 4K OLED Gaming Monitor (XG32UCWG) - $799

Open to other options as well. Just need to have 2xHDMI 2.1 ports, 32", OLED, and <$1000. Not interested in curved monitors or extra wide monitors. My PC isnt powerful enough to run anything over 110 fps at 1440p, and I dont plan on upgrading my pc any time soon (I just built it this month: 4070 ti / 7800x3d).
Every Asus monitor I've bought has had loose connectors. And I've bought 4 because of brand hype. They are incredibly annoying.

The LGC4 is dope.

I basically only buy LG monitors now, they're just superior products.

Dell also makes great monitors but I don't want to be a shill

I mean there is only a handful of companies actually producing these flat screens in the first place. And LG is one of the big ones. I think the big 3 are Samsung, LG and Sony. So yeah, why would you go to a 3rd party to purchase LG screens for an example? Maybe a better feature set? Better stand? Better bezel? IDK.

Dell does not make flat screens they just purchase them and package them in dell bezels and stands.

I have a Sony x90j tv and it’s an excellent tv screen for movies, but it’s 4 k 60 hz. It’s what Netflix uses to calibrate their shows.

but it uses LG panels, so I’m just going to go with LG in the future

I have two Gigabyte monitor 32" as well M32U, it's 144hz instead of 165. Monitors are good, have suited me fine for the 3 years I've owned them. I've never used the KVM and for whatever reason they have rocker power switches (like a PSU) instead of a power button which is odd as hell to turn off. My wife still has not figured it out.

Weird. My IPS HP Omen monitor advertised itself as 165 hz but it’s only 144 hz for some reason. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but I got it for like $199 a few years ago on a flash sale.

HDMI vs DP i imagine. Usually only getting the 165 over DP I think.
hdmi 2.1 can handle 1440p at 165hz, but hdmi 1.0 can’t is what I’ve read. I looked into getting a display port but didn’t think I’d have any noticeable difference between the DP 3.0 and the HDMI 2.1 at my level.

StartAllBack
DisplayFusion
Windhawk
PowerToys
VLC

will up your user experience game.

StartAllBack is cool. The rest are out of my league.

I would like something to update all my drivers for me. Anyone know of something? I have CC Cleaner, but it's paid now, meh.

Didn't you buy an Nvidia card? Didn't know they were updated to Hdmi 2.1. IIRC that was a knock against them but it could be the 4000 series. nvr mind

Looks like more and more people are catching on to what's going on. I wonder how many consumer hardware makers or retailers will go out of business because of this.
