The 5 Best OLED Monitors of 2025

Updated Jul 10, 2025 at 08:01 pm
Best OLED Monitors

One of the latest advancements in monitor technology is OLED panels, which have become more popular over the past few years. They're different from LCD panel types because instead of having a backlight, they have individual pixels that can turn on and off. This helps them display perfect blacks in dark rooms without any blooming around bright objects. Besides their superior picture quality, most OLEDs are beneficial for gaming as they have a near-instantaneous response time for sharp motion.

However, there are downsides to using an OLED, as they're prone to burn-in when exposed to the same static elements over time, like if you only use it for work all day, every day. That said, there's less of a risk of burn-in if you use the monitor for varied usage. They also don't get as bright as many LED-backlit LCD monitors, and they're best used in a dark environment. Plus, the black levels rise and dark colors desaturate more quickly in bright rooms on QD-OLEDs than WOLEDs. That said, QD-OLEDs generally offer the best picture quality with more vivid colors.

There are many different OLED models out there, including both WOLED and QD-OLED, with various sizes, resolutions, and refresh rates. Since many models use the same panel as their competitors, choosing one over another can come down to features, price, and availability, which we consider for this recommendation. Luckily, we put each OLED that we buy through our extensive testing, which includes nearly 400 tests to recognize these minor differences and help you make a buying decision.

We've bought and tested more than 360 monitors, and below are our picks for the best OLED monitors available. See our recommendations for the best HDR gaming monitors, the best HDR monitors, and, if you're concerned about the risk of burn-in, the best Mini LED monitors.

  1. Best OLED Monitor

    The best OLED gaming monitor we've tested is the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM. It's a QD-OLED that combines a 4k resolution with a 240Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for gamers who want a responsive feel and a detailed image. It has everything you'd expect from a premium OLED gaming monitor, like a near-instantaneous response time for sharp motion. It also takes full advantage of gaming consoles and modern graphics cards because it supports both HDMI and DisplayPort 2.1 bandwidth. It even has remarkable HDR picture quality with vivid colors and bright highlights, which is what you should expect with a QD-OLED.

    One of the advantages of getting it is that it has high pixel density, and it doesn't have fringing around text like on larger OLEDs. The ASUS is part of a group of 27-inch, 4k QD-OLEDs that all perform similarly. This particular model is worth getting over other options because it has some extra features, like a USB hub and KVM switch, and it also supports Dolby Vision, which is a nice touch for a gaming monitor. However, you can also check out the Dell Alienware AW2725Q if you want something cheaper, but it doesn't get as bright as the ASUS.

  2. Best 32-Inch OLED Monitor

    If you find that the 27-inch screen of the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM is too small for your needs, there are more 32-inch QD-OLEDs you can also consider. If that's what you're interested in, the best one is the Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P. It's actually very similar to the ASUS because its QD-OLED panel delivers nearly the same picture quality and gaming performance. It has similar features, too, as it also supports DisplayPort and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, and it also comes with a USB hub and KVM switch. One difference is that it doesn't support Dolby Vision, though.

    Although its 32-inch screen provides a more immersive feel for gaming, one thing you have to consider is that it has lower pixel density with its 4k resolution. This means that text doesn't look as sharp, and there's some fringing around letters that you may notice, depending on how sensitive you are to it. That said, this is the trade-off for getting a bigger screen, and it's the same case with most 32-inch, 4k OLEDs.

  3. Best 1440p OLED Monitor

    If you don't need a 4k OLED like the Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P or the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM, there are plenty of 1440p OLEDs you can get for cheaper, like the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG. Although the lower resolution results in less sharp and detailed images than on 4k monitors, it also requires less bandwidth from your graphics card to reach high frame rates. It's also why most 1440p OLEDs have higher refresh rates than 4k OLEDs, as the XG27ACDNG has a 360Hz refresh rate for a smoother feel.

    Besides the lower resolution, it has picture quality similar to that of the higher-end PG27UCDM and the Gigabyte, as it's another QD-OLED. It comes with all its benefits, including a wide range of vivid colors. While it doesn't have DisplayPort 2.1 bandwidth like the other two monitors, it still has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth to support any signal from gaming consoles, but 4k signals are downscaled to 1440p. While it's worth getting because it tends to cost less than the competition, there are some cheaper 1440p WOLEDs you can also check out, like the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG. This is worth getting if you want a more affordable OLED, but it has a lower 240Hz refresh rate than the XG27ACDNG.

  4. Best 480Hz OLED Monitor

    If you're looking for the best OLED gaming monitor and need the highest refresh rate possible, there are some 480Hz gaming OLEDs, like the LG 27GX790A-B. It's a 1440p monitor like the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG, but the higher refresh rate is ideal if you want the smoothest and most responsive feel possible. One difference with the ASUS is that it isn't a QD-OLED, so colors are less vivid; instead, it has a WOLED panel. That means you still get all the benefits of an OLED with perfect blacks against bright highlights and incredibly sharp motion. The black levels don't rise as much in a bright room either, but you still need to use it in a dark room to get perfect black levels.

    It supports HDMI and DisplayPort 2.1 bandwidth, which is great if you have a high-end graphics card that can take advantage of those ports. While a 1440p, 480Hz OLED like this one is ideal for PC gaming, it isn't the best for console gaming because it has to downscale 4k signals. Instead, you can look into the LG 32GS95UE-B if you want a more versatile option. It's a native 4k, 240Hz monitor with a Dual-Mode feature that switches to a 1080p resolution with a 480Hz refresh rate, so it's fantastic no matter the gamer you are. That said, it also costs more than the 27GX790A-B.

  5. Best Ultrawide OLED Monitor

    Although most OLEDs have a 16:9 aspect ratio, like the monitors mentioned above, there's a different class of OLEDs with a 21:9 aspect ratio. These 34-inch ultrawide displays offer more horizontal screen space, which is great for immersion while playing atmospheric games. If you're interested in that, check out the LG 34GS95QE-B. It has a WOLED panel, so the picture quality is similar to the LG 27GX790A-B, and while it has a lower 240Hz refresh rate, it's still good enough even for competitive gamers.

    Unlike the other OLEDs mentioned above, this one has a curved screen that helps bring the edges of the screen closer to your field of vision. This is the case with any ultrawide OLED, but you may find its 800R curve too aggressive if you've never used a curved display before. You can even consider the Dell Alienware AW3423DWF if you want a less-aggressive 1800R curve. Its QD-OLED panel also delivers more vivid colors, but it has a lower 165Hz refresh rate than the LG.
