..Which appears to have disappointing brightness and color performance compared to the QD-OLEDs.



Puzzling AF. It was supposed to be much brighter than the QD-OLEDs, but in real world HDR real scene brightness, not even close, it's the opposite.

Guess I'll wait for next year's models

HeisenbergFX4 I've not been keeping up with this thread on new announcements and such: Is there an OLED ultrawide, 34" or more, that is greater than 1440p, greater than/= 120hz, and that has HDR?

The Samsung Odyssey CRG9 but it’s a whopping 49" with a resolution of 5120x1440 which makes its pixel density lower than a 34" 3440x1440 ultrawide.

Nothing anytime soon plus would take a ton of horsepower to run it

 

[64bitmodels]

Could do BFI with that though and keep high frame rates.

High brightness too especially with these monitors. Slap CRT Royale on their and it'd be really good for retro games

 

[64bitmodels]

Anyway, been using curved for years, now the flat ROG actually seems like it's bulging towards me, so weird..

I can't imagine how you'd react towards a curved crt now lol

Looks like I'm good with my Alienware ultrawide qd oled for a while yet.

Thanks all, I think what I'll do is get an OLED 34"-ish ultrawide and just accept that 1440p is what it's gonna be, and then upgrade again in a couple years.

Currently, I have a 7800X3D+4090 pushing against an Acer Predator x34 that I bought way back when it first launched. I love it, it's been a killer monitor, but it doesn't have HDR and has a little light bleed in the bottom corners (nothing bad, but I'm picky) so I'm wanting something with a better picture quality.

Had the same X34 before my current AW3423DWF. Ended up getting the Alienware because the DP port of my Acer just stopped working. I was thus stuck at 3440x1440 and 60Hz with HDMI 1.4.

The Alienware is definitely a nice upgrade over it. 120Hz to 165Hz, SDR to HDR, but the biggest upgrade is the switch from a VA panel to an OLED. The motion clarity OLED provides at high frame rates is severely undersold.

Awesome, I was just watching a review for that one, think I'll snag it. Thanks!

How long until LG builds a 42" 240Hz panel and puts in in their TVs? I daily drive a 42" C2 for both work and gaming and can't go back to smaller monitor. I love this thing! But if it was a little brighter, higher refresh, and simply worked better as an actual monitor it would be perfect. Maybe a slight curve, too, but that's asking for way too niche of a product.

 

[Don Carlo]

Thanks for sharing. I was just about to look up a good monitor to upgrade to.

Now we need 4k 240hz tvs

So earlier this week I got the MSI 32" 4k 240Hz MPG 321URX delivered and set up. First ever OLED big screen, 4K and 240Hz experience coming from IPS 27" 1440p 144Hz
It's quite awesome to see the room go full dark when game or movie does, not to mention HDR is pretty wild too!
Also genuinely surprised how well my 4070Ti manages to handle 4K with decent framerates. Even got the 100$ Steam gift MSI promotion. Can say I am pretty happy with it!

I have this monitor arriving tomorrow and will be putting it through some gaming tests in the next couple of weeks

Cool! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Anyway, my Windows Screensaver isn't reliable, so if you're in the same boat here's a couple of software tips for OLED monitor users (at least those of us with OCD..)

With a black background/wallpaper:

AutoHideMouseCursor 5.55 Download

Download AutoHideMouseCursor 5.55 Windows Freeware, the official download page for AutoHideMouseCursor from the developer page

www.softwareok.com

(This is also great for when you f.ex. write posts on gaf because it immediately hides the cursor when pressing a key)

TranslucentTB

A lightweight utility that makes the Windows taskbar translucent/transparent.

translucenttb.github.io

(I use it to get rid of the line that doesn't go away when hiding the taskbar)

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Super early impressions of the LG 32GS95UE-B are its not worth the price increase over the $950 MSI unless you simply need the 480hz (which is incredibly smooth)

The pixel sound is decent, bass very lacking which is to be expected

Will really spend a lot of time with it this weekend coming up but again I don't feel its with the $1400 premium price tag

Is there a direct link to the OLED 32” monitors?

The LG I am currently playing with but is out of stock is here

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-ult...onitor-with-hdr-black/6575402.p?skuId=6575402

The MSI is not on their website as of right now but has been coming and going

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

So after spending more time with the LG dual mode I have to admit on some games I am getting a little more addicted to the 480hz mode

Its odd because when I go from playing 240 hz to 480 hz I don't "feel" like its an improvement but going back to 240 hz I do "feel" the drop off.

What game are you playing at 480?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

What game are you playing at 480?

It drops rez down to 1080p and especially games with DLSS like Diablo 4 its not overly hard to get well into the 400s on this 7900X/4090 PC
