It's 2018 and still no 4k monitor with 120hz or 144hz support?

Do you need a monitor or a TV? If you need a TV that acts like a monitor then just buy LG C2 and call it a day.

I understand the difference between low 24fps movies are shot in, and the 3:2 pull down, but from what I am reading on various sources, the concensus is eliminating the pulldown is taking away from the cinematic experience caused by the jitter. I'm not too concerned with it as I barely even watch movies anymore.

On a side note, the 24fps is only for movies, right? What about regular TV broadcasts - news, sports, shows, etc?

If I remember right....regular HDTV tends to be broadcast at 30fps @ 60hz and sometimes 60fps @ 60hz for sports.

Or a C1 if you want to save a buck.

Jitter from 24fps is desirable by movie buffs, but I have never heard of 3:2 pull down being desirable. In the cinema there is no 3:2 pull down, nor when using movie/cinema mode on TV's. 3:2 pulldown is purely a side effect from NTSC broadcast TV. I'm wondering if terminology is getting mixed up by some of those people.

Monitor. Its just whenever i do seldom watch a movie, i tend to watch it through my computer on the monitor.

Thanks for clarifying! Sounds like there is no reason for concern then.

P.S. - The cinema mode you mentioned, does it switch the TV in a 24/48hz refresh to eliminate the pull down?

Yes that's right, depending on the brand it could have many different names though, like 24p, cinema mode, movie mode etc. Usually lower end TV's don't have this function, either.

As for monitors, if you get a 120 or 144hz display, it will not have pulldown as 24 is evenly divisible into those refresh rates.

So looks like there is a lot of tech in development, and I am genuinely interested in experiencing 120/144fps gaming, 10 bit color, and now I'm also interested in seeing 24fps movies without the 2:3 pulldown. But I'm thinking it makes sense to wait more for all the tech to mature, at least when most GPUs and monitors support DP 2.0 as well as HDMI 2.1, so its probably going to be at least 2 more gen cycles.

Also, what about OLED screens, are those becoming a thing?

[KAC]

OLED monitors are still new. We will get first decent monitor by LG this year - 27 inch 1440P 240 Hz.
You can buy Alienware QD OLED widescreen right now.

There is also future 45 inch bendable OLED from Corsair and LG. Maybe ASUS also.

It's great OLED's are on the way but there's no format I really like. 27" 1440p too small in both size and res, and 45" 1440p too big for that res, but I wouldn't mind seeing one in action. Pixel pitch is the same as 55" 4k, which I find OK, so it may not be as bad as it sounds.

[KAC]

I honestly think there are just stupid dumb shits sitting in these companies. All they had to do was make a 32" 4K 120/138 Hz OLED and charge 1200 bucks for it. But NO, that is too much common sense to ask of these a holes!
