Idk, I have no fringing on my C7. Text is sharp. Mine is calibrated though, so there is no tint. I can see gamma shift in a VA and TN style. Of course. Yeah, and no burn-in btw.
Take a look at the Amazon "stars" next to the review count on a product. Do they not look abnormal to you? Text also does not look right and I'd argue it's worse than this Asus BGR which can be mitigated with Cleartype.
I think I'm going to buy a C9 for now. If/when Nvidia drops Ampere with HDMI 2.1, I'll have a 4K/120hz capable display with VRR that no gaming monitor really comes close to. In the mean time, my indie games will at least look nice.
I can't go back to LCD anymore myself. I don't care how many checkboxes it has which this monitor does check many of them.
Even though I only game 100%, I still have a more enjoyable, immersive, and "wow" gaming experience on a semi-gloss 55" 4K 60hz HDR OLED monitor over my previous matte 34" 1440p 120HZ IPS G-Sync monitor. Patiently waiting 120HZ, VRR, and possible 48" size which would destroy any $1500~$2500+ "Gamer" monitor on the market today.
I got my C9 for $1400 brand new w/ no tax & shipping from a reputable retailer (AAFES). I almost took the plunge on the Asus/Acer 35" $2500 tragedy with all the G-Sync "Ultimate" issues like massive flickering on almost every game with no word of a fix (if even possible) what so ever.
Smart money is on getting a C9 and waiting.....that was my plan....then I ordered the AW55 with every intention of returning due to its obscene price. After a weekend with it I can never go back!
SNIP.
I have this display, why do I need to look at the stars at the Amazon? Text is razor sharp with no artifacts whatsoever. Maybe their screens are uncalibrated or sharpness is set too high? I set the H V sharpness to 0 and I don't have any propblem with text. And I wouldn't even compare the perfect image reproduction of the C7 OLED with this shitload Asus monitor. The weak point of the C7 OLED display are size and 60Hz limit with no frame rate sync, but for stationary image quality - this is the fucking top. Nothing compares to it. Asus is not even in the same leage.Take a look at the Amazon "stars" next to the review count on a product. Do they not look abnormal to you?

Should it? I have it set to 0 on my C8 if I remember correctly and there is no image softening that I can tell.LG's OLED "Sharpness" setting should be set to 20 to be neutral.
The second-generation 'Alpha 9' video processor also has quite effective decontouring / noise reduction, which is now a separate picture setting (Smooth gradation) that no longer results in loss of resolution (it was previously embedded with MPEG noise reduction). There is nothing inherently different about the second generation Alpha 9 so if you are comparing a 2018 LG OLED with a 2019, you will be very hard pressed to find any differences. For SDR, the most significant differences is probably the 'smooth gradation' menu option but it is not a big deal, in our opinion.

Anything above 0 artificially sharpens the image. I tested it myself. Don't feel like believing me? Here is rtings' take on it (from C7 calibration guide, that I just googled):LG's OLED "Sharpness" setting should be set to 20 to be neutral.
Know your tech.Gotta be faster.
On the page for the C8 the do recommend 20 in PC mode. I've never hooked my PC up to it, so I don't know if that's true.Ah ya RTINGS updated their info:
https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/e8-oled/settings
They originally said 20 but changed it back to 0. Not sure if it was a firmware update or test changed.
You're going to have to calibrate it manually or create a software profile. C7s don't support hardware calibration, unfortunately.Now I need to try my hand at calibrating my C7...
Haven't messed with it much, had it hooked up for a 4k desktop... once, but I do have a Spyder 5, so

Well, you should be less slow in correcting your mistakes, so that people don't get confused by your ignorance.My comment obviously went over your head as I had already updated the information before you posted. Once again, too slow.

You just chek your facts before posting, so that me or anyone else wouldn't have to correct your mistakes and waste time bitching with an arrogant pilot. K? This is my last message to you on this topic. You may now shut it and go play some game on your C9 OLED 1440p 120Hz display. Hunt some Russians in COD or something...You were the only one confused. Try and keep up next time by reading all of the posts before trying to get in your two cents.
Play nice guys.
Wish I could wait another year for the 48" model but we don't even know if it will be a C version with Gsync support (B9 is not listed on Nvidias site).
Since the 48" is targeting the mainstream TV consumer, I don't think they'll even offer a C and it will sell as B model only for the first year. Wild prediction I know.
If I'm being honest with myself, at that size, you may have a point. A curve helps bring the parts of the screen that are farther away from you closer. Personally, my favorite ultrawides are not only curved, but have the most aggressive curves. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "POS" for not having a curve, though. It's an appreciated feature, but not a must have.If its not curved then its a POS ,,, period....

There are some big flaws on this display, but not being curved is a non-issue imho.
Once we go above around ~32", say 34"+, curved monitors start to become desirable. The larger the monitor, the more curve you'd want, just to keep as much of the viewing surface of the panel at the same distance from a desktop eyepoint as possible.
For displays at the smaller end, the curve doesn't need to be strong, of course. Just a little bit will help.
Could you manually flex an OLED display though? Wouldn’t it more or less stay the way it came out of the box?If they were flexible oled maybe.

Ah, like that wallpaper TV. Yeah, that's really cool, futuristic stuff. I'd want it too, but it wouldn’t be cheap at all.The issue would be less the OLED 'panel' itself, and more toward ensuring that the supporting structure could handle changing shape within a limited range while remaining durable and eliminating possible artifacts. I'd say that it could be done, but it wouldn't be cheap.
Where a flat screen can be moved up closer for a racing game or father away for an isomteric, 3rd person game, rts, etc and can be viewed even father away for media playback, a curved screen is really for one locked in position focal point that is defined by the degree of curvature.
