@@Tom-kl9jf Sure, you could work something out yourself, I just mean that in context of TV vs. monitor, remotes are designed to be used "remotely" for a TV where you are practically guaranteed to be several feet away from the screen, while you are not likely to be more than a few feet away from a desktop monitor.
@@TimothyBoyle13 remotes are typically designed to be used at a distance but I would argue when they make the controls complete shit on the base monitor and make them not shit when using the remote, that design consideration has been nullified. They have clearly designed THIS remote to simply be an external control system so they didn't have to build it into the chassis. EDIT: My tone comes off combative here but I think we are agreeing regardless.
This is probably the perfect gaming monitor, but I really want to see a 32 inch 4k 120hz OLED monitor for productivity tasks, preferably with the option for a glossy panel
@@Steve-lz8vv It looks far better. I'm still using a glossy monitor from 2013 and it's been hard finding an upgrade path. I never have lighting behind me at my desk.
@@xxxslappyxxx if you have a problem with sharper test, the problem is not the absence of gloss, it's just a crappy screen, lol With OLED you wouldn't have that problem regardless
Note to any buyers: disable the power saving features to get reasonable brightness. It'll be super dim out of the box. Still won't be the brightest around but it's somethin
I am currently on a AG241QX which is still a TN 1440p 144hz panel, I think it's really good, I'd love to try really low response time and I have been watching a lot of movies. I think to me its worth the 1000. once the competition joins the line, at the end of 2023 you might see a price drop to 850 maybe?
These monitors are outstanding, but the one thing I can't stand which could be the fault of the reviewer, is when they say "man and look how super thin this is".. Yeah like 20% of it is thin, then you have that giant protrusion on the back lol.. That's just my pet peeve tho, I'd rather the monitor be a couple inches thick and uniform than super thin here but 6 inches thick there
You should have mentioned the auto brightness limiter thats going to bother a lot of people when using it for productivity. If you open any white window this thing will dim down a lot.
It's not necessarily an auto brightness limiter, it's more that OLEDs can only get so bright when all of the pixels are illuminated at the same time. APL handicaps this variety of OLED far more than the superior QD OLED from Samsung, so if you're not working in the dark it's probably best to look at their ultrawide OLEDs instead.
I actually just returned the LG 32GQ950-B because of that. Sad to hear it's on this monitor as well, even with it being an OLED. Now I'm running a ViewSonic Elite XG321UG.
@@Obospeedo you have to go out of your way to burn in an oled. Just hide your taskbar and set a blank screensaver for 10 mins incase you afk. As long as you don’t leave a static image or logo up for hours on end day after day, it won’t burn in
@@Obospeedo I don't worry about burn in, so I have no burn in because of my experience with my s9+'s barely noticeable burn in after 5 years. 1 year+ using a c1, 5k hours, max brightness/hdr on, pixel shift off and still no burn in from my browser's UI or anything else. By the time I start getting burn in, I'll feel like it's time to get a new display. I have confidence in the technology :)
@@Obospeedo I want a 27inch QD-OLED just because I want to max out. Might as well ugprade to all the cool new display tech things at once, instead of having to pick and choose. Tho my real question now is if it makes sense to get dual monitors > 27" or not
Hey I own this monitor, you guys missed another OSD menu for OLED maintenance. It’s the middle button on the bottom of the remote. It has image cleaning and pixel cleaning modes that you can enter to maintain the life of the OLED pixels and prevent burn in. Also, every time you turn off your computer and have the monitor on, it knows to go automatically into image cleaning mode. Another thing I’m adding now, if you have the black stabilizer anywhere above 55, the screen will temporarily burn in after a few hours of gaming due to the blacks being greyish and not actually true black. If you run it through image cleaning after that it completely disappears and looks brand new again. Because of that i leave my black stabilizer at 55 on every mode.
@@bigmajor6205 I don’t notice any issues with the text but I may just be used to it by now. When i first set up the monitor it took me a good 30 minutes to get the settings the exact way I wanted it and I think that might’ve helped
Personally I turn all the OLED care features off. They're annoying cause they dim the screen *way* too much without actually doing much to preserve the screen. I've had my LG C1 for two years now and there are *zero* signs of burn-in, no matter what test patterns I use to check for it. It doesn't hurt to leave Pixel Cleaning on (since it only activates when the display is off), but every other setting is an unnecessary annoyance and should be disabled completely. Also, you're making up straight *lies* about the black stabilizer thing. I've used various black stabilizer settings in different games to help me spot enemies in the shadows better; still no signs of burn-in. If you're seriously having issues (and not just spreading misinformation to scare people away from OLED), then you need to make a warranty claim on your display, because using a normal function that is meant to be used should *not* cause burn-in.
I feel you with the OSD and remote alternative, but I'd much rather minimize the physical impact on aesthetics and versatility over having an easier time setting it up. Realistically, I'll never need to touch the OSD again after a couple days with the monitor. There ought to be a mount for the remote behind the panel, which would heavily counter its drawbacks. But if not, you can just tape it there yourself. No need to worry about clutter, losing it, or overly inconvenient retrieval.
For me personally that would be a deal breaker. I love the little control knob on my current lg panel. Can switch between my personal PC and work pc occasionally. I don't use it enough to get a hdmi switch which probably also wouldn't be very compatible with my work laptop and would add more stuff on the desk / more cables. I barely swap screens and since getting a streamer I basically don't, but I had to for months if I wanted to put on a different album or playlist. Obviously a very specific issue, but it definately has its uses. Besides that, adding that button on a 1000 dollar screen doesn't seem like a big ask haha
@@danielh12345 I don't think there's a dollar amount that stops physical interface features from either sticking out the front or sides, or requiring you to have access to them by reaching around one specific edge. Incidentally, that high dollar amount targets the kind of consumer who can afford it - the very kind of customer liable to want multiple identical monitors in some grid layout. I don't want anything on the face, and I'm often simply not going to be able to accommodate a specific edge. Case in point: my top monitor has to be upside down because of the thick bottom bezel and power button. That's not going to be a solution for accessing a side edge of a center monitor. It's a good(ish) thing my sideways side monitors are cheaper ones with side interfaces, else I'd have to choose between bottom bezels between monitors or longer cords sticking out the sides just to turn a sharp 180. The remote is by far the most pragmatic solution, because absolutely no one _has_ to accommodate it in one specific place.
@HonoredMule idk man. My LG27GP850 has a bottom bezel, like most monitors. It has the little tiny joystick / nipple which is the power button and OSD, it's the perfect little control. Right there in front of you, not on the side where my other monitor would stop me from reaching it. It works, also its at the same place where the LED / power button is on this monitor. Could've just been there... and the LED they talk about in the video, it's in that same button on mine. It works, there already was a solution. They just removed it and created a "problem" (for some atleast). Also I don't want more remotes. My dac has one since its user interface is otherwise a nightmare with the one button it has. I understand design compromises, but they just litteraly replaced the working thing in the exact same place with this
@@danielh12345 I'm not sure what part of this you're not getting. On the front is ON THE FRONT! Where screens are supposed to be. When you go multi-monitor, next to "the" screen actually becomes _between_ screens and is suddenly very not ok. You might have had a point, if this were a properly big screen that people spending thousands of dollars on are more likely to actually deploy in solitary configurations. But it's just a regular monitor, and one with a lot of details optimized for multi-monitor setups at that. The "jack of all trades" monitors are about two price tiers lower.
@@HonoredMule its a 1000 dollar 240 hz oled, which by default makes it not a regular monitor... as in this is the monitor you place your cheaper screens around. This is your main monitor. If its not then idk why you'd be buying this over idk a 300 euro ips 1440p with 75-120 hz or whatever
This is the first monitor review I'm watching where I really feel like watching a video recording of a monitor through my much lower spec monitor doesn't really give me any better understanding of it's performance.
Is it time to buy an Oled monitor? Do we have to worry about burn in? Funny thing is I have had multiple phones with Oled displays and never experienced any burn in...
I think the screen on time counter is an LG thing. My 48CX has it also, pretty useful as I have been tracking the screen on time and monitoring screen retention and all that. Currently at 9082. Did a check about 150 hours ago using all the test patters and colors and still have no visible burn/retention. Colors still look great. 80% backlight brightness since new.
Damn that monitor looked so good even through the camera! OLED really pops! No distortion or light reflection through the camera capturing it. Just Amazing!
one other reason someone might use DisplayPort over HDMI is daisy chaining, where you can plug on monitor into the GPU, then the next monitor into the first monitor, and so on. thought I doubt you'd want to do that in a gaming setups as that might limit max refresh rate if you're sending data for other monitors too
Daisy chaining pretty much dead on high end gaming monitors, there’s just not enough bandwidth. I love having it at work though, makes cable runs cleaner.
I use a pivot monitor when I am writing, revising, and editing books. Also, it's good for writing code, though I don't do that. I might not do that on a high refresh monitor, but 1440 is definitely a nice resolution for text documents.
@@YounesLayachi I mean, sure, that's a great technology if you're staring at the same image for a long time. However, we were just talking about whether pivoting has any meaning in an OLED monitor. I was just arguing that you shouldn't get an OLED as your secondary display.
Got this about a month ago. It looks insane in person. Like you can't describe it until you sit there. I downloaded the demo footage for the high bit rate experience. This monitor really shows its capability. Absolute madness.
If you don't mind me asking a bit of an involved question, do you use this with a Windows machine and at least one other monitor? I've been looking for a new monitor for a while now but none of the 4k120hz displays - including LG's versions - support Displayport Deep Sleep properly even if the option is in the OSD. All of them cause the system to behave as if the monitor has been unplugged and thus move all the windows off it onto other still-visible monitors, which is a big pain. LG apparently semi-recently released a firmware update to fix this behavior, but it didn't solve it on the 27GN950-B, with it still completely disconnecting when turned off. Does it work correctly on this display?
@@WhytefangYT I have this monitor. What is the use case here? Are you trying to have one monitor go to sleep and the other still be on and working? Or, are you talking about when you lock your PC and walk away, etc? I've not had any issue with Windows staying where I left them when I lock the PC, leave both monitors powered on, and leave for an extended period of time.
@@trippalhealicks Pretty much the exact opposite of that, actually - I leave my PC on, but turn off my monitors when I step away. If the monitor does not properly support disabling displayport deep sleep all my windows shuffle off that monitor onto my other monitors (which Windows still sees as connected, as they do support it properly) and need to be moved back when I turned them back on.
@@WhytefangYT tbh I have standard monitors and they do the same just depends on how they are turned off will quickly default to the last one even if its getting powered off usually the main one
@@Irish2007 I have multiple monitors that have the option to disable this in the OSD (a PG279Q from ASUS and an AW3420DW from Dell) as well as two that come by default with this feature disabled (an Omen 25" and a really old XL2411Z). There are lots of monitors out there that support this feature properly, they're just all older as far as I can tell. No new monitor I've tested or asked about recently properly supports toggling this feature, they all just default it to on or the toggle doesn't work, assuming it does exist.
I have this monitor and what they forgot to mention is text fringing - it's terrible, this monitor is awesome and I love it, but it is my second monitor (I have Alienware OLED as main) because working with text on it is impossible.
Also, what they didn't mention is that this monitor can do 12 bit color, but you will need HDMI 2.1 to have it uncompressed, DP will only have it compressed.
Well they probably didn't mention it because in the past they said that text fringing is not the monitor's fault, it's a Windows software problem not being optimized for the display.
What else can I ask for? A 240Hz 4K 32:9 panel. ...And a GPU to drive it that fast. Some day, not today, but some day... Hurry up Nvidia and panel makers, I _will_ give you my money.
At ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lhAAXIli1qA.html you can see that HDR wasn't actually activated for the video example of HDR you were testing. There would be a HDR symbol next to the resolutions in the RU-vid player controls. You most likely needed to refresh the RU-vid page after turning HDR on in Windows.
Yes, I saw that too. I think Firefox doesn't even support RU-vid HDR content (I might be wrong). But for me, MS Edge for example directly switched to the "HDR" symbol in the video window. For Firefox I couldn't get it to work.

I am actually considering downgrading from my 4K display to this because it would be more responsive, games would run a lot better, and HDR on OLED looks epic.
Odd question sorry about that. I have 2k monitor. And i really want to start gaming on 4k but imma buy high responsive monitor which theres only one and 4090 or 4090ti in future. Does games on 4k lag or graphics is not too responsive on high refresh rate? Or it depends on gpu/cpu bound. At this point idk if i wanna upgrade to 4k trying to ask ppl whos there
@@Mysta_X Most decent gaming monitors are quite responsive even when they are IPS panels and LED backlit. The real issue is that 4K is just so much more demanding than 1440P to run. I have a 3080 gaming OC which is the largest and hottest graphics card I can fit in my current case and it is perfectly capable of playing very demanding games at high detail and maintaining a steady 60FPS at 4K but the difference between 60FPS and 120FPS is very noticeable when games require driving or shooting. If you are going with something like the 4090, then this won't be an issue on most 4K panels. I am using the ASUS ROG PG32UQX and it is plenty responsive for my needs. I just feel like it needs a lot more graphics card to fully utilize the display. Downgrading to this LG OLED panel would be a lot less expensive than upgrading my PC with a 40 series graphics card.
@@Piketom1 i agree with that statement so much. I just really want to try game on a 4k setup to just notice any visual appeal or even difference. All my homies say its just like 2k u wont notice difference this and that. But i have ps5 ob a good led tv it looks smooth on some games but friends always recommend to stick to 2k. I might buy the lg oled or the new asus oled. Do u have any details about both monitors? ik rog asus is always to go for monitors but this lg looks so great negative thing about it is its not too bright of a screen
@@Mysta_X Especially when you have a large display, the extra resolution of 4K is very noticeable. I was just playing cyberpunk on my PC last night for the first time since upgrading to 4k and there are some details in the world, player, and texture, that I could not discern at lower resolutions. It's the type of thing I would never have known I was missing until I experienced playing the game at a higher res. If you can swing a 4080 or 4090, then 4K would be the way to go. I have not used an OLED gaming monitor but I have an LG 65C1 in my living room connected to my series X for couch gaming. The extra responsiveness of the OLED panel makes games feel like they are running at a higher FPS than they actually are.
I am actually “downgrading” from my samsung neo g8 32inch 4k 240hz mini led montor to this lg oled. Because g8’s curve is really annoying, viewing angles are garbage and 240hz mode destroys image quality with lines on screen. So hopefully the only downside of this oled 1440p resolution is not going to be very noticeable.
For anyone looking to get this monitor, I'm not sure if It's a firmware issue, but the two that I have, have a bad flickering effect when the screen is dark and VRR/adaptive sync is on. Once you turn it off, it's totally fine. Just something to look out for.
Something else to note about this panel is the sub-pixel layout, which is ordered RBG instead of RGB. Windows does not support this sub-pixel layout (AFAIK), and so text just looks noticeably worse, as do many 2D and UI assets.
You are absolutely right, for a 16 minute video, I dont feel like they went deep enough for this particular model. Also, I dont think anyone is buying this monitor to play Spiderman, next time they should demo CoD MW2, Warzone, Battlefield, or insert other trendy competitive shooters not just CS, you can show off a pretty game to test the HDR sure, but people who will pay a thousand USD for this will definitely use it with HDR off.
Yep exactly the issue with these panels... Also love how they saw and 'reviewed' the HDR in a youtube video you can clearly see they had set to 2160p but not the HDR option LOL
Iirc using the cleartype config window in settings it will switch the subpixel layout, but out of the box it defaults to rgb, so initially it will look crap. Once you set it most games and applications will use the correct layout as set by windows, but there will be some cases where that might not be true so ymmv
"I wouldn't mind if they have a bit more column to make it more sturdy." Not a fan of the random pho-engineer comments that come to an unjustified conclusion. The device hasn't even been tested yet and he's making comments about design choices on how to improve it. But we're not even sure if its sufficient already; nor if this is a problem. This is a really destructive way Plouffe usually comments and reviews things - he has observations, and goes "well if it was 10 x thicker/bigger/better it could be better" without even testing if it ISN'T sufficient enough as is. It makes sufficient/high performing products look lacking when they're not. Poor commentary.
!!! Why, does it have, toslink on it? (instincts telling me to impulse buy while my heart rate's increased) No. I have what I need. Xbox OG and 360 are directly connected to the Xbox Spherex sound system and the Wii has Pro Logic 2 via RCA or WiiDUAL HDMI. Convenience of toslink on a monitor is... THE RAREST GOSH DARN THING EVER! When was the last time a monitor had optical out, the VH242H's Coaxial output for Dolby Digital pass through? YEAH, 20-YEARS-LONG AGO SINCE THIS WAS EXPERIMENTED WITH! And I already bought the QN32LS03T TV and turns out there's a new monitor with it.
I have gone through a few of these panels. My first panel burnt out and stopped turning on after two days. All the panels I got in were extrodanarally dim. I have not got one in that went over 120 nits at full screen brightness. You also can not turn off power saver with HDR turned on. I really hate that LG seeded super samples to some reviewers while the retail models are garbage. I went 4 panels in and they have all had different flaws that weren't present in reviewers panels. The Alienware DWF is still the better option. Even the G8 OLED from Samsung has given me less issues, and that thing was problem ridden.
Oh my God, ENOUGH with 1440p. What about the Blu-ray/movie content users? 4K or 1080p would be perfect for us. 4K would can mimic 1080p perfectly with nearest scaling (making it both 2160p and 1080p with just a click of a button). The problem with 1440p is that it will interpolate the pixels by 33%, destroying clarity, it's just x2 of 720p. Some of you may argue and say to just get a TV for Blu-rays, but no, I want to watch them at my desk and then just switch to games when I want to. I want to be able to accurately work with my content as a designer all without buying 3 different displays. You know how many 1440p QD-OLED displays there already are?? Enough!
No burn in warranty whatsoever. 130nits in hdr full screen. No black frame insertion (!!!!!!!!!). And not even a nipple to get osd - what happens when you inevitably lose the remote? Oh, and if you have an lg tv - have fun as both remotes are on the same frequency and its gonna constantly turn on and off the wrong one. Edit: oh, matte obviously. Why, god why
I hate external power bricks. There has to be room in that chunky back panel for the power supply. Definitely not a fan of the inputs being on the rear. It makes it nearly impossible to vesa mount it against a wall. I wish that rear panel was on the entire monitor. Its already as thick as it is, so why not make it the entire rear.
Would be nice if they included a little holder for the remote somewhere on the back. Theres enough space and it would prevent the inevitability of not being able to find it when you need a year after stashing it somewhere 😅
My end game is an OLED display with similar specs but without an anti-glare coating >.> I still might get that one though depending on how the year goes
I think the move to OLED is amazing for sure but the price point is still too high to see a real movement begin. This same monitor at $750 would be a real push for more OLED movement, but at a grand it is still outside decent pricing. Also I would love to see this in a 32" model, could drop it down to 144hz or even 120hz and I would be happy.
I'll stretch it just a bit more. I want to see QD OLED show up in the 27-32 range, flat. The problem is, I want dual screens which means likely two OLEDs - else one would just look off. But the 2nd one doesn't need to be a high refresh rate gaming panel. And curved ultrawide is just not attractive (for work + higher demand on gaming) - and no shop has them out so I can't even try them.
@@realghostxd Valve Index is not available for sale in my country. And even assuming I'm willing to go forward with that approach, it's USD 1k for VR, then there's the whole.... mount IR columns, buy newer graphics card, etc. I already own a PS5, so $500 for a single cabled solution is very attractive in my opinion. edit: I found valve index on local amazon, for USD 1,750. index controllers are USD 600+.
I normally agree with your views Plouffe, but considering that I can still buy the LG 27gl850 for $400 with 144hz/1440p/27in, I think we still have some ways to go for mainstream oled panels.
my main issue with OLED is the burn in issues im scared off. Its expensive and as Monitor u gotta use it a lot not like a TV which you turn on to play some nice singleplayer games etc. On daily PC use u have a lot of static elements or in shooters your crosshair for example so there is that.
I have had my 48CX oled since it was released. 9082 hours screen on time at 80% backlight. No burn in or retention. This is with thousands of hours of windowed youtube, 1000s of hours FPS gaming on PC and XBOX. Its pretty easy to mitigate burn in now days.
@@darryljack6612 modern monitors tend to die these days because of power circuit failure faster than oled burn in anyways. Burn in isn't exclusive to oled to boot. Had a 40" VA panel burn in quicker than my current 48" oled which still has zero burn in over 9000 hours 🤷
This monitor does NOT hit like 500-600 nits in an all white screen. More like 150-200. If you simply open a white webpage, the whole screen dims even with energy saver turned off and even in SDR. This monitor does everything it can to prevent brightness especially on white screens. If you play a game like street fighter alpha that flashes every time you get hit, the screen dims with each flash. I loved the black levels and refresh rate performance on this monitor but the resistance to brightness was disappointing.
why does nobody care about burn in on OLEDs anymore, did it suddenly stop being a thing overnight when oled gaming displays were announced or what? i don't care about vivid colors, if i'd have to swap that monitor in 2-3 years, then i'll look for different one, or better yet, i'll stay on my ips which is perfectly fine
I like that they put the I/O where it probably won't conflict with a monitor arm. With my current displays, the DP cable is crunched by the arm, and I can't use a 90 degree adapter because then the HDMI ports below it are blocked. The only option is a 90 degree that aims the cable upwards, then I have to deal with cable managing that.
8500K color temperature in the report? LG need to stop with the "gamers don't need accurate picture quality" mentality. Vincent (HDTVTest) tested skin tonality on modern games, proving that game studios put effort into designing their characters for a 6500K color temp.
I feel the opposite, wish we were seeing more 24" 4K monitors again like the pre-pandemic days. Can't stand the low DPI of 27"+ monitors, especially at 1440p
@@jonny2085 Not at all, 200% makes everything too big and reduces desktop real estate too much. 150% is the perfect sweet spot at that size and resolution.
There was no bad critique about the monitor. Can we get someone else on your team to give actual criticism. What about the matte finish, dimness? You're spending $1000 for possible burn-in. LG's horrible 2 year warranty that doesn't include burn-in.
So, the LG 48GQ900-B is currently selling on Amazon for $1,169. Before Christmas it was going for around $800 on Amazon. Granted, it's only 120Hz, but it's 4k and 48" in a 16:9 aspect ratio. That probably means this one will see some pretty good deals in the near future well below MSRP, but also, if you don't need 240Hz...why wouldn't you upgrade to 4k and 48"? I love my 48GQ900-B, it is amazing.

I've had this monitor since early January and it's been a big regret of mine. I've ran into so many issues that the time spent on troubleshooting it has been nearly equivalent to actual gameplay time. Also, the remote for my LG C1 48" turns on the monitor, so whenever I watch TV, my monitor turns on which terminates any active pixel cleaning. I've also used the QDOLED Alienware and not only did I have zero minutes spent troubleshooting it, but the HDR, brightness/colors are SIGNIFICANTLY superior. Man I should've kept the Alienware.
but this one is 37% faster so its automatically better. you cant be a real gamer unless you constantly hit 240hz. in all seriousness, 200 bucks more for qd oled is the right choice. plus you get 34% more pixels with the AW

The 200cd/m² brightness is a very down argument for this monitor. To be honest, it is a deal-breaker to me. But I get that LG has to offer less in something to keep the price down, while also guarantee that not many monitors come back under warranty due to image retention. I also want the navigation joystick back! The long press is just... BAD!
a title can still ruin an average Shortcircuit video. how is this endgame when this panel already existed on multiple monitors. the resolution and size far cry from endgame
@@AlanMane No no, it’s not a chance it’s a guarantee of the technology. Even with pixel shift there is still no solution for the near future. A good example would be the Alienware qdoleds, they still have a ton of burn in issues for some buyers. That being said some are totally fine.
@@Eminetics Its a guarantee under circumstances you most likely will never see in home usage and with some basic "new rules"... use screen saver, again :) and just auto hide task bar. Since you know about the problem you must know that burn in happens after hours and hours of constant picture, and it was on old OLEDs, not fresh screens, Im certain they are better now, I use PC pretty much all day every day and the only constant thing is taskbar, and its constant only cause I dont care since I dont have OLED. Point is yes, its possible, but its not like normal monitors cant have burned pixels, but its a rare occurrence, they also loosing brightness after a time. Just adapt a little, meet tech half way while we wait for microLED which is supposedly have all pros and no cons.... or just wait microLED and dont touch OLED. Btw - a lot of TVs are OLED now and affordable, I dont see mass panic and complains about burnin and what they show on TV is much more dangerous in this regard.
OLED burn in problems was solved long time ago, except perhaps for cheap models, my Sony AF9 have been running every day for 4,5 years now and has zero burn in, I can post video proof if you don't belive it.
Styrofoam is one of the few materials that is 100% recyclable. IF AND ONLY IF it is recyclable in your area. It baffles me when recycle centers do not accept it so it can only go sit in a landfill for the next million years or so when it is such a versatile and easily reused material. (Grind it, wash it, compress it, heat it, reform it)
Just for price comparison, I bought the FO48U from amazon for $850 us before tax in December. The sale price fluctuates wildly on that monitor so keep an eye out if you are interested. It's a 48 inch, 4k, 120hz OLED. 48inch is probably too big, but IMO 27 is way too small so I'm sure there's some differing opinions. Point is there are some options, and 240hz is just plain overkill.
Thanks for the review. It's a little out of my price range and I would never buy an OLED monitor since I have to use my monitor for things other than gaming and content viewing, it does look good. Side question. Did Linus catch you watching something on your work computer that you shouldn't? Hence the blurred screen. haha
I think for $1000 it is too expensive for what is offered. I have two 144hz IPS 1440p Adaptive Sync displays. They run about $200 a pop and have swiveling, great viewing angles, and didn't cost me a month's rent to enjoy. AND they are LG panels.
@@Lxcx311 I just found a monitor with the same exact specs for 650. The ONLY difference is OLED. Is it worth the $350 jump for a panel that can burn in? (the answer is no)
@@MaloMonster the answer is yes because the burn in will take years and until you have burn in you will probably upgrade your monitor again. No LCD comes close to the picture quality of OLED so it's a yes.
One big thing to note, the ASUS version of this panel has cooling which this version does not have. Which results in better brightness and potentially lesser risk of burn in.
Oleds will always have burn in, and image degradation over time. Regardless of cooling solution/heatsync. The cooling solution that the asus model offers, will theoretically increase brightness bc temperature is one of the main limiting factor to oled brightness. With Organic displays, you will always get worse and worse image every time you use your desktop. and that’s indisputable.
Plouffee always misses the easiest stuff, all you had to do was tell him it was OLED and he'd give the best review. The monitor starts locked in 4k and 120hz and you literally have to delete the 4k resolutions to get 1440p 240hz
It's Polystyrene... I worked in the styrofoam insulation business for a while, it can be recycled over and over and used for home insulation, so it's still a very reusable material.
