Vertical Banding - Is it bad?
Hey, I got my first OLED today (got it on sale) and I really like the vibrant colors and the blacker black. I got the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG. My only Problem is that I got vertical banding. Yes, I did run pixel cleaning (8 times in 2h) and it got a bit better than at the beginning, but I still see it. I can see it when browsing reddit and when searching in dark mode too. Now I want to know how bad it really is. I think I got an okay version. It can be better, but also worse. I'm not quite sure if I want to go through all the hassle to return this monitor and get a new one, since "it could get way worse". But since I also payed for a "premium" device, I should get a "premium" experience, not just "okay". So do you think that it is on the lower side on the vertical banding scale? Would you go for a return? Does the banding get less after some usage of the monitor?
