Thanks to you, the song stuck in my head now 😂

I would have expected them to dig into it when something bothers him so much yet makes no immediate sense 😅

There is nothing on the NA redmagic page saying the monitor has an HDMI receiver, wonder if they removed it for the NA version?

@@thesilversky6828 then logically they would have removed the chin as well 🤔

@@thesilversky6828They have a normal version without chin and cheaper

@xgzepto9755 It might be cheaper to just not put in the electronics and leave the chin, then design a chinless enclosure? Idk tho

I've been a very happy user of the 1440P Tempest monitor for the last bunch of months; 4k at this screen size is lost on me at 27 inches and the back light is fantastic as it can go all the way past 1500 nits full screen, and stay at that brightness no matter what is going on screen. I'm on a 7900xtx, I very well could use a 4k monitor, but I like that I can max out in a lot of games without a problem, and for the couple of titles, I can use ray tracing without too many comperomises

As a 4K monitor owner, I can tell you that running 1440p on it looks blurry as hell still. Anything non-native resolution will look blurry. I have a second 1440p 165Hz monitor just for gaming because of this exact reason. I never enjoy the look of non native resolutions. If you want to play at 1440p, get a 1440p monitor. So I agree with this video. This monitor is 4K and 4K still sucks for gaming.

Except, this is 27". Under $1k is mandatory

@@azenyr If you use line multiplying, then you will not be able to tell the difference from native 90% of the time, 4x 1080p is exactly 4K and looks fantastic on a 4K monitor, this also means you get much improved frame times and latency, 1440p is a tricky one, because it doesn't line multiply like 1080p, how do you fit 2560x1440p into 3840x2160, you can't, this is because 1440p is a multiple of 720p, 3x 720p would work, but 2560x1440p is 2x 720p, for line doubled 1440p to work, you need a 5K monitor, 2x 2560x1440p is 5120x2880p, 1440p looks amazing on a 5K just as 1080p does on a 4K, that's one of the awsome perks of a 5K monitor, 1440p looks amazing on it, I encourage anyone reading this with a 4K monitor to try 4x 1080p out, you will be pleasantly surprised how amazing it looks, and how close to native 4K it is, for very little downsides, you will get 4 times the FPS, double to frame-time performance and half the latency, in a few years, when GPU's are faster and multi-die, native 4K/5K will be nothing, in fact you will be able to go the opposite way and use super-sampling, that is 4x 4K on a 4K (16K), or 4x5K on a 5K (20K), this actually creates a much higher fidelity image, so your 4K/5K monitor is future-proof in that respect.

Tbf, there are many 4K 27" mini-LED monitors under $1K at this point, so it's not special in THAT regard. As for 1440p, I want 4K exactly because 1440 isn't good for 1080p or 4K content. If I need more performance, I can just use FSR, which the is the only time upscaling 1440p to 4K looks good.

I just put my wall passthrough close, so they go straight into the wall.

Fair point. Also, they can just rotate the monitor 90 degrees to plug the cables and there you go, you can now plug them from the side instead of from below.

Let's be honest mate, there's a more than 50% chance she said the opposite

@@tiagobelo4965 the chances depend on the person

So many IPS iterations out there to try and compete with OLED. It's just not comparable as I have the alien ware dwf and its just so night and day.

@@cooleyzzI bought the dwf based on reviews. You think it’s better than mini led ? I haven’t seen mini led in person.

That's just Plouf talking, don't mind him. He has an Alienware OLED and so he reviews everything that's not OLED as just kinda "ehh", even a really good mini LED IPS under 1 grand.

@@cooleyzz until it has burn in after 3 years

@@88Opportunist OLED will very quickly ruin a person for IPS... I know it did ruin me. I personally didn't really even like them that much a couple of years ago tbh, the contrast ratio issues just annoy me. Almost all of them are ~1000-1500:1, where VA tends to be more like 3000:1 contrast ratio, and that has mattered to me more than the extra black trailing that's common for VA. Local dimming helps, but doesn't solve the issue fully, and brings along with it some other things that can bother me, personally. Everything has issues, no technology is perfect yet, you just gotta pick the aspects you want and avoid the aspects you can't tolerate. That said the monitors available today overall are just miiiillleeeessss beyond what they used to be just a few short years back, you can get great quality for a very reasonable price, and insane quality for a bit extra. And the selection is huge, there should be something for anyone's tastes out there. OK there's one thing still missing, that I've seen multiple people wishing: Something that's really big, but not 16:9 like a TV, while taller than ultrawides. Like a 49" 32:9 ultrawide is big, but just a pretty damn thin strip, and I've seen a fair few people wanting a bit more height without having to get a full TV (mostly in the racing, flight sim and space sim spheres). A 2.35:1 at ~50" size would be great for them, nearly 50% taller than a 32:9 but way thinner than a TV.

it's Plouf, everything lives or dies on the hill that is his Alienware OLED

Qd oled has better viewing angles than any lcd, including ips.

@@branchprediction9923sucks for everything that isnt gaming or content consumption

Referring to LCD-IPS as having better viewing angles than OLED is just nuts lol, even pro LCD-IPS with viewing angle equalizers don't match OLED's near perfect viewing angles, IPS completely changes colours at certain angles and washes out the already grey blacks even more, OLED does not degrade below 99% at any angle, only CRT can manage 100% colour/black/greyscale perfection at any degree, but 99% for OLED isn't bad

FYI, the Corsair 240Hz OLED has a 3-year warranty covering burn-in, FWIW. I have bought and returned two 1440p FALD MiniLED IPS monitors - an AOC and a Cooler Master. Both were great in high brightness HDR scenarios*, but were far too clunky overall, requiring a lot of OSD interactions switching between usage scenarios, and often just looked outright bad even in HDR mode due to color accuracy issues (color testing is almost always done in SDR, sadly) and other less tangible image quality issues. I'm talking about things like weird color transitions, parts of the picture looking muddy, etc. - most likely from strange interactions between FALD backlighting, very wide color gamuts, VRR, and probably other variables too. This caused them to be like an 8/10 in HDR, but ranging from 6/10 to 10/10 depending on the scenario. My conclusion is that miniLED IPS panels can be great for what they do, but they're also very, very specialized, and are unsuited for any use that doesn't include a lot of OSD futzing. Also, neither of the ones I tested were anything special in SDR mode, including locked-down image adjustments in sRGB mode and a lot of other little annoyances. (CM did seem to have fixed all their initial firmware issues though.) I ended up getting a Corsair OLED, and I'm extremely happy with it - but then I don't use my PC for office tasks, it's essentially a TV replacement in my usage, so I'm not that worried about burn-in and don't mind the slight text blur from the WOLED WRGB subpixel layout.

You should check out the Cooler Master gp27q (1440p) or the gp27u (4k)

Yeah, same, it's wild.

VA smear isn't a thing anymore on high end VA panels

yeah I owned a couple 1440p VA monitors and they were disgusting, eventually settled on two 1080p IPS's. Easy to run and looks great if the IPS panel is good quality.

If you find that confusing, please avoid playing roulette :) Jokes aside, I would not find it surprising if a company like Blackmagic expanded into monitors, but it would more so be professional ones.

A combination between RED and Blackmagic 🤣

My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

Probably better support too.

I havent experienced any burn on my dell xps oled after 3 years, although grey uniformity at lower brightness levels sucks

It will take 2-3 years of leaving current gen OLED displays on at maximum brightness to force any notable burn-in, with normal day-to-day use, it is impossible to get burn-in on OLED, no matter how hard you try, and next gen OLED, aka PHOLED, brings endurance up 100%, add to that dual-stack and multi-stack (Tandem) PHOLED, which raises endurance even further, 5-10 times in fact, Tandem PHOLED has greater image retention resistance than most LCD panels, burn-in is a relic of the past.

@@Wobble2007 If you have an ultrawide OLED and watch any significant amount of 16:9 content it will burn in on the center from uneven use within 1000 hours of screen time. For just as many people saying they don't have burn in, I've seen just as many with my use case with some degree and of burn in within the first year. Right now ultrawide is the only thing tempting me towards getting OLED since all the other HDR capable ultrawides are garbage.

Don't get me wrong I did have an alienware OLED for a few months and played through GoW 2018 on PC and then God of War Ragnarok on PS5 and loved it. Then tried it back on my old Acer X27 and missed curved 21:9 and the smoothness, but loved the brightness of mini led🤷. Right now I'm more interested in micro LED (even though it's still a minimum of 5 years from being affordable), but if PHOLED releases in the next 2 years and does what is claimed and in 21:9 it could be what I get until micro LED monitors are a thing.

@@zack9692 What you are describing is phosphor ware, the same thing will happen with 16:9 CRTs when 4:3 is extensively used, this will create an area on the display with a lower cd/m2 and colour luminance that will get more and more obvious over time, simply due to display ageing in that specifically used area, this ageing isn't unique to OLED, this will happen with all display types, Plasma, CRT, OLED, LCD, DVLED, only projectors will avoid this specific display area ageing effect for obvious reasons. There are multiple users on RU-vid that have had post 2018 produced OLED displays running a maximum brightness static image 24/7 for years without any burn-in protection switched on, none of them were able to produce any noticeable burn-in, it was only the past 3 years when they actually had a small amount of burn-in, but even that was only visible when the whole screen was showing a single bright colour over the whole screen, they have all but completely eliminated any meaningful image retention, and they have done this before we have even moved onto 2nd gen OLED, aka Tandem PHOLED, which is due in 2024-2025, which is several fold as burn-in resistant, meaning it will take 10 plus years to see any burn-in, and even then you will have to knowingly force it to get burn-in.

It's not pretty crazy when you factor in the staggering differences in picture quality and performance.

I agree and it's even more crazy that my 450euro phone has a FHD+ OLED 12bit 120hz panel on it lol.

@@xenomyr yeah lol even some £250 phones have it too. and a 42-55" OLED 120hz 4K TV costs £800, the same price as a 27" monitor

​@@lmperioz I don't understand these prices considering the fact that OLED tech is quite democratized on non-PC panels.

@@xenomyr Right? I've been saying for years "surely any day now OLED monitors will start to drop in price and become reasonable". You can get a nice laptop with OLED screen for 500 or so. I just want to experience true HDR already

Nah it has 1152 dimming zones

Buy right angle adapters.

@@blunderingfool then again. Make downfacing ports and buy right angle. Goes both ways

@blunderingfool I have right angle adapters. Still a pain in the arse to plug in if its on the wall.

@@GreenCinco12Official Buy right angle adapters for any situation. :D

probably tested OOTB

The text clarity thing is only a problem on QDOLED afaik, which Samsung uses for its Displays. (Others like Alienware buy some of their panels from Samsung) LGs OLEDs are the normal layout I think and shouldnt have any problems like that.

@@Shortyman17 LG panels use RWGB subpixel layout which messes with text clarity. So does Samsung's QD-OLED which is RGB but has a weird triangular shape. The only OLED panel with a normal subpixel is the panel supplied by JOLED which has a traditional RGB layout. All consumer-grade OLED monitors only has panels supplied by LG and Samsung.
