shameless bump

Most similarly sized LCDs at the same distance are better for me. I use plenty of bias lighting, and reducing blue light hasn't worked. This is an interesting take. I didn't realize OLED had bad MPRT. Just tested my Galaxy S8 and it wasn't pretty- 15.3ms. Potentially, and this isn't based on...

Oh nice. Yea, for sure

Ah, ok. I'm glad there are at least some mitigations. I tend to turn the brightness way down unless I'm watching some really fancy flic, anyway. Yes, you're right that black levels of projectors in this price range will hardly compare to even most budget IPS screens, let alone VA or OLED. I...

Just found this: https://www.avsforum.com/threads/optoma-uhd35-vs-uhd38-what-is-the-actual-difference.3190605/#post-60647510 Apparently, the UHD38's bulb isn't brighter than the UHD35, the UHD38 just has more white in its color wheel. Still, would be nice if someone with more expertise could...

Hi. I have read that the Optoma UHD38 does not have the best black levels due to its bright bulb. But, I haven't seen it pitted against its UDH35 sibling, there. Could the dimmer bulb of the UHD35 mean better black levels than the brighter UHD38?

Would be great, ya. With how low modern IPS response times are getting, an IPS with good black levels could be endgame display tech. None of the burn-in of OLED. Plus, let's face it, MicroLED is a pipe dream.

Gotcha. Ya, makes sense. I guess I'm in a minority that's bothered by poor black levels more than smear.

Also interested in other 21"+ CRT monitors. The G225f is one of my dream displays. Obviously, absurd long shot, but no harm in trying.

To say the UFO test is not as transparent as a white on black test in showing black smearing is true. To say the UFO test has nothing to do with it is hyperbole. Take any previous VA panel's UFO test, and there will be very noticeable black smearing. For that case of smearing to be totally gone...

I agree with everything you've said for pretty much any other VA. But, I don't know man. I think Samsung really did some magic with these new VA monitors. The worst black to gray response time measured by tftcentral was 14ms, which is lower than the whole response time of lots of IPS panels. I...

Some of the new Samsung VAs have TN like response times, which includes no black smearing. Check out the Samsung G7 on tftcentral: https://tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/samsung_odyssey_g7_c27g75t#Detailed-Response-Times

This is one of the main reasons why I think it was a good idea that, despite being 16:9, the VA Samsung G7 was curved.

Was considering the Alienware before I saw this, thinking it would be less laggy than the LG CX, not having the processing lag of a TV and all. 30ms is retardedly slow. Into the trash it goes. Almost slower than my IPS laptop. Embarassing for any gaming monitor, let alone an OLED one.

Mobile OLED displays definitely do have PWM. My Samsung S8 flickers at 240Hz at anything below max brightness. I think it's due to power restraints making distortionless DC dimming like OLED TVs have impossible. Not sure, though. I didn't dig deep into Rtings before, that's good to know. What I...
