    Monitor for productivity work (32" 4k or 40" 5k) - replacing a Benq SW320 - was thinking of Asus Rog Swift OLED PG32UCDM but.....😱

    Unless you used OLED before or played around with one in a store I would avoid OLED for productivity. Text clarity has improved in the past few years, but its still significantly worse than LCDs, particularly in MS Office products.

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    Is that the G9 you're talking about? I've been eyeing it, but Samsung horror stories have made me waffle.

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    Ended up returning mine. Was hoping it would be able to retire two of my three monitors, but there's not enough screen real estate when using 125% scaling to replace two monitors and keep text legible for productivity uses. Text clarity, particularly at lower scaling/zoom in word processing is...

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    Like others here, I thought I cancelled mine, but it arrived today as well. I'll be interested to hear what others think. Text clarity is still quite bad despite the claimed improvements, which likely means it will be going back because I'm doing more work than gaming these days. Full screen...

    Whoever releases a 16:9 42" 240hz 4k OLED screen first will get my money so fast I might break my arms.

    It won't be the next 24" 1080p. Even if someone makes a perfect 42" OLED like you suggest, you'll be buying a new one every 3 to 5 years because of burn in.

    Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED 175Hz (3440 x 1440)

    Likely this is caused by the difference in motion clarity from the faster response of the pixels on OLED.

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    Almost certainly can't mount it. The stand looks like a similar design to the Corsair bendable monitor and that one can't be VESA moutned because the stand contains most of the electronics to run the monitor. Its going to be an issue with all the bendable panels I'm afraid.

    Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED 175Hz (3440 x 1440)

    Very likely yes. People here are forgetting, but the reports on this panel were that Samsung was getting like 1/3 yields. That is abysmal even in the world of OLED. They also only had one line running for this panel. Limited capacity and abysmal yields meant this panel was never going to exist...

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    That's because the yield on those tiny 34" panels was only 30%, not because they only wanted to do a test release. Its going to be awhile before we see large QD-OLEDs or large supplies of them.

    Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED 175Hz (3440 x 1440)

    Biggest advantage is you only need an HDMI 2.0 compatible GPU for the Alienware. To get more than 60Hz on the LG you need a 3000 series card.

    Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED 175Hz (3440 x 1440)

    Thanks for the heads up. I had cancelled my order through the guest page in favor of the discount ones being posted for certain businesses, but bailed out. Some of these are probably honeypots to steal CC info.

    Samsung Odyssey ARK 55" 4K Gaming monitor

    Samsung keeps marketing this in portrait mode, which is a gimmick and stupid, but this thing in landscape mode could be a game changer. Its an ultrawide with more vertical space, which many many people have been clamoring for.

    Samsung 34" QD-OLED

    At 1440p this thing looks like a huge loser. Its going to be north of $2k and even if the picture quality and brightness is better, that's a lot more money than an LG 42" is going to cost. Combine that with the legendary samsung (lack of) QC and its a hard pill to swallow. If they released a...

    Odyssey Neo G8 - 4K 240 Hz 32" Quantum Mini LED

    If this has the same "curve" as the G7 its going to be DOA. Its frustrating that Samsung markets their monitors as 1000R because they are not that. They have a 1000R curve in the middle third of the monitor and then straight sides. This makes everything look terrible on the monitor because...
