The key with being the PC Master Race has always been throwing gobs of money at it. You want high end gaming, better be able to buy a car that's the entry price! Glorious PC Master Race, dirty midrange peasants.
OLED monitors will remain stupidly expensive until micro LED monitors come out at outrageous prices and that's what everyone wants. And even then OLED monitors will still cost more than OLED TVs and micro LED monitors will cost more than micro LED TVs. Then everyone will want 8k resolution and consoles will be able to do it but most PCs will not. Unless they spent thousands upon thousands to do it.
It's the nature of the thing.
Many have already been officialised they are 27" tho but it's a matter of time.
I would like to have a glossy/semi-glossy 27 or 32 OLED screen personally. Waiting for CES before purchasing. 1440 or 4K is not really relevant for me, I think 4K is really relevant when you have 48"+
This is indeed. A shit new trend, everything costs a shit car price.
I'll await the quarter price or lower version in many years then I guess.
The Galaxy Z Flip3 and Flip4's foldable OLED screen is rated for 200,000 open/close cycles, and I bet it outlasts that, too. Speaking of which... what a delight of a phone the Z Flip is.
The Flip is just amazing to use, the screen is super bright, color reproduction is excellent even for OLED standards (if you place it right next to the S10+, you'd see the difference is incredible) and what really amazes me is how the crease is basically imperceptible unless you're looking at the phone from an angle, or sunlight is reflecting on it. It's also very tall, if you like reading sites that scroll up and down like forums or Twitter, this phone is pretty much a must have.
I remember watching my friends play dragon age origins back in the day on giant 1080p screens. then me playing at 27" 1440p, it was like an entirely different game graphically, insane.
i imagine 32" 4k is going to be the next logical step for me, and many games will also have that magic transformation happen (thats my hope anyway) combined with OLED and the extra PPI of not having giant 4k screen, it might indeed be just my dream come true.
27" 1440p while I love it, I am wanting something just a little bit bigger these days. almost went for the LG C2 42"... but that is just a little too big, cause I want higher PPI than that... so I need 32"
Heres why this is appealing to me:
Ooozy blacks and color that pops super well. IMO: HDR just plain sucks on anything non-OLED. The LG CX of mine is amazing when it comes to anything Dolby at night (yes, its not as bright in the daylight but I'm not one to watch movies at noon-time anyways. It gets a pass on miniLED because at least the black-bars are black. Its a GREAT option for when microLED will take over for OLED and MiniLED.
Response and clarity is the best replacement from the plasma days; which was a replacement for the CRT quickness. LCD has kind of decently caught up but that OLED just changes so quick and so nicely in that path.
Curve when I want to game, non-when I don't: I'm a designer. So Looking at a "circle" that warped to even a 100x100 to 100x102 drives me insane. When I am paid to see for work there is no way I can use a curve screen on the norm. For gaming because of the nature of the fast action it gets a pass. But, having 2 non-curve screens beside eachother on top a curve is redonk.
It might be pricy but at least this is perfect for the designer who needs flat lines; but whats that wide immersion without sacrificing desk real-estate. All-in-one for a good mix of it all — it won't be cheap but thats ok.
It not being 4k is ok. Gaming at 4k is still a novelty to me. Getting 120hz+ at all times seems, still, is a very exponential cost-to-benefit gain. 1440 is STILL a very nice inbetween for better resolution without needed the extra mega-umph needed of the most top-tier cards.
While this screen seems to be at the mid-line I would ask myself: Where do I spend more time: gaming or working?
The cost at 2,000 bucks is skirting that line; and many who buy this are ok with a 4090 or a 7900 XTX without batting too much an eye; but its an interesting skirt I'd like to know.
Also, REALLY HOPING the v2 of this allows for a fold for 2 flat screens on the side. I dream of an ultrawide that can fold a bit to give me that 2-flat screen setup without a border in the middle.
(*insert Blizzcon satire*)
Looks like it might be used as a easy accessible exercise devise to :cool:
