What's the Best 6K Monitor? | LG, ASUS, Apple, Samsung | 32" transcript

There is no such thing as a perfect 32-in 6K screen. Even the Pro Display XDR by Apple, the best 6K display, has trade-offs. I had the opportunity to review all of these 6K screens by LG, ASUS, Apple in both glossy and nano, and now the Samsung 6K, and between all of them, all had trade-offs one way or another. In this video, we summarize what each monitor is best for. If you want detailed video reviews, I made a review for each of these screens, so I get right to the point in this video.

I share what each screen is best for, and then I share link to each detailed review right after I mention each screen. So, the moment of truth. What is each monitor for, and who should get these and why? If you're going to use the screen in an office all day, and you want text clarity and excellent colors, or if you video edit in SDR, go with the ASUS. It's sharp, the colors are excellent, it's solidly built, the matte coating is the best between all of the matte panels, and the price is the lowest when it's on sale for $1,100.

The only downsides are its quality control and consistency of the color white. You have to shop around until you get a good panel, and that might take a while, and you might flag yourself with retailers because of how much you have to play the panel lottery to get a good one, and that's a frustrating, time-consuming endeavor. If you want to play games or watch movies, go with the Samsung. It's sharp, high resolution, the colors are great, just not as good as the ASUS or LG, but its build quality is great, and importantly, the colors are consistent.

If you show a white image, you get a white image. The only downside is the fact that the brightness shifts a lot at different viewing angles, so it will be disorienting after a while if you show something with a solid background all day, so that wrote it off for me for office use. If you want an all-around epic monitor or edit HDR, go with the glossy XDR, but good luck with that. Good luck getting one because they're impossible to find since they've been discontinued.

I will link the 27-in Studio Display XDR, which I think it's too small, but it's the current only option for the best HDR experience. If you're going to use an XDR in a really bright room, even then consider glossy and only get the nano if you really feel like you have to because the nano impacts sharpness by a noticeable amount and makes text look a little fuzzy and on the older Pro Display XDR causes a brightness shift similar to the Samsung at different angles.

So, I don't recommend the nano as strongly as I do the glossy as an all-around monitor. Don't get me wrong, the nano is a great screen and if you have only used matte panels, you will be nothing but impressed, but if you recently used or compare a glossy to a nano side by side, you're going to notice a lot of differences that add up. Like the text isn't as sharp or the colors don't pop as much or the blacks don't look as dark.

The LG gets a lot of things right. The on-screen menu is terrific. The power supply team did great. The stand is solid metal on the inside. It gets super bright. Tons of features including Thunderbolt and colors, although not consistent, pop as much as they can for a matte panel. However, the trash quality of the matte coating and backlights on both 6K screens I bought from LG keep me from recommending this one at all since all other 6K screens cover all the use cases for this screen, but better.

If you need text, go with the ASUS. If you play games or watch movies, go with the Samsung. If you edit HDR, go with the XDR. That's it for today's video.

Or, I just need to start spending less money on computer screens. Anyways, thanks. >> [music]
