Then mini LED vs QD OLED monitors

My AW3821DW has developed a stuck pink pixel. It'll be the second time I've had it replaced for the same issue. I'm thinking about asking if I can swap it for an AW3423DW, which costs less. I'll be in contact with them again on Monday, so I'll think about it. Not sure I want to drop size and res, plus the OLED's have had QC issues themselves... but I wouldn't mind checking out 175hz OLED for shootbang.
 
So basically LG again ruined it.

The 27 inch OLED has an aggressive matte coating that can’t be ignored also reducing brightness to as low as 200 nits in SDR.

The 45 inch wide screen has dot pitch similar to a 1080P 27 inch monitor. Plus has an 800R curve (worse than my G7). Also that coating.

These people are so stupid. It’s beyond my comprehension.

I am seriously considering getting the NEO G7 and calling it. Seems to be the best option.
 
I am still super wary of burn-in on OLED. It happened to me with a plasma TV I bought some years ago from playing the same game, with elements in the exact same places, plus some elements of the task bar burned in. It wasn't really bad, and couldn't really be seen except on a full white screen, but it still happened and it was only used for limited periods on the desktop.

I feel like using a burn-in capable display for standard Windows use would be an absolute disaster. So unless the display is for gaming only, and like literally no other static screen usage, I wouldn't trust it.

Personally, I'd be willing to accept a lot of other compromises to avoid having to worry about burn-in again. Also even if they're not as good as OLED, VA panels are already pretty good at contrast. Biggest issue is some slow transitions in the darker range, but really that's not a problem most of the time.
 
Yeah, burn in concerns me too.

And as using my phone has taught me, OLEDs also suck at black to non-black transitions. You get some awful smearing if there is any pure black embedded on a webpage while you're scrolling through it.
 
Is the text smearing type concerns overblown on that monitor? Only reason I didn't buy is people kept saying that the text doesn't read properly at close distances?

Go pick up one with the original G-Sync ultimate specs (min 1000nit peak brightness, 532 active zone full array backlighting, adobe/dci p3 certification, 144hz …) and call it a day. I have moved a couple games off my E6 OLED and played them on the monitor because it lookes so much better.

Which model are you referring to. I thought NEO G7 has 1100+ zones and is micro LED with close to 1000 nits.
 
That one looks nice but doesn’t say anything as far as color accuracy. The ROG SWIFT PG32UQX looks like it would be even better though. Kind of wish I hadn’t looked because it looks to be a bit of an upgrade for me as well. I have the original Predator X27 from before they reduced the requirements for G-Sync ultimate certification. Going to try and forget about it now.

That is a very expensive monitor and I am not willing to pay 1.5X for that compared to a C2 42 or a NEO G7.
 
It seems QD-OLED TVs are more susceptible to burn in than regular OLEDs.


The monitors are going to be added to this test. It's also worth noting that the Sony equivalents seem to universally suffer from more burn in.
 
Yes saw this earlier. Glad I didn’t jump on the QD OLED bandwagon. The fact that we still don’t have a 32 inch 4K 165/240 Hz OLED monitor is really disappointing.
 
Isn't samsung and lg both launching a 32" 4k 200hz Oled later this year?

NVM, the panel in question is 31,5", but close enough IMO.

Anything and everything using QD-OLED is using panels from Samsung, it's their tech. The war between Samsung and LG with OLED is going to get interesting :D
 
Upon launch QD-OLED was lauded for it's richer colour saturation and pop than WOLED, but Samsung quickly released firmware updates that heavily reduced this shortly after. Speculation was that they released their new TV's in this state to capture attention and market share, and then toned back the vibrance of displays knowing it was causing burn in issues. A bit of a 'bait and switch' some would say...
 
QD-OLED was giving me massive headaches. Wish I never bought it, now even my phones OLED bothers me. I will not be buying another OLED.
