How these scores work

The Piqelo Score is our published assessment of this exact product, including value. Your search does not change it. The Search Score uses the underlying research, your preferences and comparison with similarly priced products. Value is counted once; budget and required features are hard limits.

Price comparison: $974.25 to $1,623.75 (±25% of this product’s price). Comparable evidence is limited.

Match evidence or required features still need confirmation.

Test results

Image quality, explained

Selected independent measurements, with what they mean in everyday use. Picture mode and test method matter; these results are not additional Piqelo scores.

Everyday brightness

Higher = brighter
SDR brightness
297 nitsUniform Brightness on
SDR peak brightness
514 nitsUniform Brightness off
SDR brightness
514 nitsUniform Brightness off

SDR is everyday desktop content. More brightness can help in a lit room; reflections and the size of the bright area still matter.

APL/window size was not specified for peak values unless attached; Uniform Brightness settings differ.

From evidence to Piqelo Rating

What is still needed for a Piqelo Rating

Expert 50% · Owners 25% · Reliability 15% · Value 10%. The rating appears when all four components are supported.

Expert performance
3 eligible test sources collected. Performance calibration is still required.
Owner experience
At least 30 eligible exact-model owner reviews are needed; 0 are currently available.
Reliability
A supported reliability calculation needs model maturity, recurring risks and eligible owner evidence.
Current value
A current US price is available. Comparison with a supported peer group is still required.

Exact-model findings and measurements

Supported finding · sdr image

TFTCentral measured a stable maximum 297 nits with Uniform Brightness on. Uniform Brightness off peaked at 514 nits with content-dependent dimming. These results apply to Gen3, not the original PG32UCDM.

Trade-off · motion response

The Gen3 review observed moderate VRR flicker in dark and intermediate scenes with the anti-flicker mode off. Keep this operating trade-off distinct from a defect rate or long-term reliability measurement.

Supported finding · bright room

ComputerBase found BlackShield visibly reduces the purple tint that QD-OLED panels can show under direct ambient light, while the 4K 240Hz panel retains very high image quality.
