We have been wanting ahead to checking this shiny OLED gaming monitor for some time. Excellent news: We are going to lastly see the Dough Black Spectrum’s fancy new monitor on retailer cabinets subsequent month.
The Spectrum Black is a 27-inch 1440p glass OLED gaming monitor with a 240Hz refresh charge with a .03ms response time. It is bought two HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort, and a USB Kind-C port with 100W energy supply.
The function that makes this monitor stand out from another well-liked 1440p OLEDs we have gotten our arms on lately is that the OLED panel comes with a canopy glass. Dough claims the glass will increase the “ambient distinction ratio by 40%” and reduces “reflections by 70%”. In line with Dough, the ‘Black’ in Spectrum Black is to showcase “the proper distinction supplied by its OLED panel geared up with cowl glass.”

So on prime of the advantages you already get with an OLED show, reminiscent of low response occasions, deep blacks, and stellar image high quality, the bonus of the shiny panels will make this show actually powerful to withstand.

It makes use of an LG panel, so we wish to see if it has the identical brightness points we noticed in our overview of the LG UltraGear 27GR95WE, which just about has the identical specs because the Spectrum Black. In line with its spec sheet, it is bought a peak brightness of 1000cd/m2, however we should see for ourselves.

There is a cheaper model of the monitor that comes with a matte coating for the OLED panel as a substitute of its glass variant for the pre-order worth of $699 (plus $99 for the stand), however don’t fret, the specs on the Spectrum Black with matte coating are the identical.
