    Best 43 inch VA for work use

    I just saw that the PG38UQ has come out, and it's an IPS. I wanted to go bigger not smaller, but maybe this will be the one, at least for the moment. I love the OLEDs, but I'm not sure I'm ready to deal with the burnin situation quite yet. Otherwise I think you're right, just put up with 60hz...

    Best 43 inch VA for work use

    Update. FV43U arrived, connected it up. Silky smooth refresh rate. Good brightness and decent blacks in SDR Windows desktop. No issue with text. Initially all good. However I then had two issues. I tried everything I could do get HDR to work well in Baldur's Gate 3 and it just doesn't look...

    Best 43 inch VA for work use

    I don't believe there are any IPS 40 / 43 inch 4k 120hz displays. It's all the same VA panel, or an OLED

    Best 43 inch VA for work use

    That is very good to know, thank you. I've been trying to track down the QN90B in the UK, but they're all sold out, and the QN90C which is available is expensive and has a dodgy stand. Whereas the FV43U is well priced and easy to buy on Amazon. Are you using yours for work stuff?

    Best 43 inch VA for work use

    Amazing, thank you. The price of the QN90B is great right now. I was tempted by the FV43U instead because I figured the additional backlight zones won't really make a difference to desktop work, and as a monitor it would turn on and off automatically with my computer. Sounds like that's the...

    Best 43 inch VA for work use

    I'm still using a 2015 Philips 40 inch 4k monitor, which was the first affordable one in that size that ever came out. It's a VA panel, BGR, not particularly bright, and I'm very happy with it.. Except it's limited to 60hz, and every other screen I use - LG C1 TVs around the house and two gaming...

    Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" 7680x2160 super ultrawide (mini-LED)

    Yep, agree that the high refresh is definitely much more relevant for gaming, but there's definitely a noticeable difference between 80hz and say 144hz for desktop silky smoothness, so most likely people using this monitor for work would want to set a higher resolution and rely on DSC as long as...

    Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" 7680x2160 super ultrawide (mini-LED)

    Thank you for the detailed writeup and the link. So actually assuming DSC 2x is genuinely visually lossless for typical work ie text editing and browsing, then 120hz/144hz will be fine via a laptop with HDMI 2.1, and that's more than enough. I get the feeling that they'll also enable the use...

    Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" 7680x2160 super ultrawide (mini-LED)

    Has anyone seen anything online about when laptops with Displayport 2.1 are likely to come out? My work monitor is a 7 year old 40 inch Philips 4k, the first of that form factor to ever come out, still going strong. All the ultrawides have been too small in height so far, but this one is finally...

    LG to focus on making Oled Gaming Monitors

    It's such a shame the resolution can't be a bit higher. It would be a perfect monitor then. I guess we're already saturating hdmi 2.1 and displayport 1.4 with that resolution 240hz 10 bit though. Do you think the PPI of the LG / Corsair would make it unusable for a setup where 90% is work (docs...

    So...technology has changed, and I'm so confused, can I get a recommendation?

    Has anyone come across any videos of the Samsung 55 inch 8k TV being used as a monitor with a 3080 at 8k60? The PPI on that is going to be amazing. You can even just use a corner of it for work, given the insane resolution, and then sit back and game on the whole thing.
