Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

OLED can't compete
Fundamentally MicroLED-backlit LCD is the same thing as current MiniLED-backlit LCD but with orders of magnitude greater dimming zones, and like I said, the limiting factor is likely to be processing power (for now). This does indeed appear to be what plagued the consumer Hisense dual layer TV... -

OLED can't compete
This opens the door to an intriguing possiblity: high zone count RGB MicroLED-backlit LCDs at a somewhat affordable price. Consider the specs for the 108" model AWALL is selling: 108" 16 modules 2560x1440 priced at $30k 1920x1080 priced at $21.5k Working it out, each of those 16 modules is... -

42" OLED MASTER THREAD
It's important to remember that the terms "4k," "8k" etc. is shorthand that represents the horizontal resolution, not the total number of pixels (which is what matters when driving a display). 4k is the industry shorthand for a resolution of 3840 x 2160, which is about 8.3 million pixels. 8k is... -

The 32 inch 4k IPS 144hz's...(Update - this party is started) (wait for it...)
Why would you want a CRT with FALD? Firstly it doesn't make sense since CRTs aren't backlit, but secondly FALD is a bandaid for LCDs that tries to fix one of its main shortcomings by (poorly) approximating what CRTs already do perfectly: per-pixel light control with no bleeding. An LCD with FALD... -

ViewSonic XG341C-2K 200Hz VA Ultrawide with DisplayHDR 1400
It's notable that the 32" panel with 4608 zones also has four LEDs per zone, which inclines me to think that it's for some other reason than processing power. My guess would be it's to average out any differences in brightness or color temperature between individual LEDs so at least each zone is... -

ViewSonic XG341C-2K 200Hz VA Ultrawide with DisplayHDR 1400
BOE is a likely candidate. They have a panel that almost exactly fits the spec. -

Corsair 45WQHD240 ultrawide 45” 1440p 240Hz OLED with LG panel
Very cool monitor, but 1440p and lack of VESA mounting make this overall a less versatile option vs. the 42" OLEDs. I was just posting about the reasons for keeping the PPI relatively low on OLED monitors in the near term; lower PPI is more efficient, which = higher brightness and longer... -

LG to focus on making Oled Gaming Monitors
Not that I know of. Although, all else being equal, smaller pixels need to be run harder to achieve equal brightness as larger ones, which increases power draw and heat output. So it may well be that a higher PPI panel would have more aggressive ABL. -

LG to focus on making Oled Gaming Monitors
Think about it like this: there's brightness, lifespan, and pixel density. If you increase any one, it reduces the other two. It's a balancing act. -

LG to focus on making Oled Gaming Monitors
OLED displays used in phones can be designed for high brightness because the lifespan is expected to be much shorter, and running at high brightness will age the emitters much faster, which is what causes burn in. The average phone screen is on for less than 4 hours a day, whereas a desktop... -

LG to focus on making Oled Gaming Monitors
I'm guessing any 27-30" OLED panels they make will be limited to 1440p, and 1080p for anything less than 27". The pixel aperture ratio probably gets too small for acceptable brightness/lifespan at higher PPI than that. -

The Samsung QLED q90a will be released in a 43" model.
Can anyone using the QN90B as a PC monitor comment on the pixel bleeding issue described in this Amazon review? -

42" OLED MASTER THREAD
There seems to be a tradeoff between brightness, lifespan, and pixel density with OLED, and increasing one spec reduces the other two. A 32" 4k has about a 26% higher pixel density than 27" 1440p, so I'm guessing they're trading lower pixel density for higher brightness and/or lifespan for a... -

42" OLED MASTER THREAD
LG has a 240hz 27" 1440p panel planned according to tftcentral. Sounds like it will be WRGB.
