$1999 is insulting as this is nothing more than a TV , And no manufacture would ever get away with charging $2k for a 43" TV. But with the cheesy gaming branding and it being 1st to market I expect $2k+ easy (maybe even $2499.99)

Unfortunately this is the case for most monitors... from a technical point of view, I can't think of a single high end model that's actually worth the price when you think what TV's cost. That said, TV's are produced in FAR FAR greater quantities, so that does drive price down somewhat. It is a different market. Still, I know exactly what you mean, and if this 43" monitor is anywhere near the $2K mark, it's ridiculous.
I was asking, because I didn't want to speculate.
My last few Monitors have been around $1500. I would expect this 43" to be about $1999. Because that is what I would pay today. But give me 2 months and real HDMI2.1 monitors start hitting the market... ones without speakers and such. And I THINK we will see this around $1500 by mid 2020.
But without even knowing MSRP, they could probably want $3200 for it... lol
What about HDMI2.1 monitors appeal to you above what diaplayport can provide?
I've always thought of HDMI as a TV format, and a hack at best on the desktop, best to be avoided if possible.
Any price over $1200 is a deal breaker for me. I'm just not that much of a gamer to justify spending more. I'll get the best 43" 4K TV, probably the $650 Samsung Q60, and call it day.
I am getting old and have the money. I justify it in one way... no matter how expensive your computer and GPU is, you spend your WHOLE TIME looking at your monitor/desktop.

All true, and if I were a serious gamer I'd be all in on this. A $1300+ monitor for every day work and occasional gaming? That ain't for me.Yeah, Accessories (mice, keyboards monitors, etc) tend to last much longer too. We may buy a new GPU every 1-2 years, but our monitors are usually with us 5+ years.
Its really crazy to see these awful picture quality/black level $2000+ monitors hitting the market when OLED's are almost perfect minus VRR/FreeSync at high refresh rates.
Hopefully the LG will adopt HDMI 2.1 and push 144FPS at 4K with HDR..
but since AMD isnt developing GPU's fast enough to do that its all sorta moot since we know Nvidia will push G-Sync as long as humanely possible.
Really just need Nvidia GPUs that support HDMI VRR. That's likely to come with Ampere. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to exclude that- and it's not like they wouldn't have the tech as they'll need it for their Shield line too.
I thuoght they did with the recent driver update this year? or was that just FreeSync?
Max Brightness is probably important for some situations but I find the overdone bloom of local dimming super bright LCD's worse in HDR situations.. I'd rather take less bright and better blacks without blooming anyday.
Max brightness is slowly getting better but I think it will always be a limit with OLED tech in its current form.. even then they pretty much use unrealistic scenarios to measure peak brightness in HDR
I left the house for 4 days and came back and my OLED was stuck on a Trend Micro screen.. I must have forgotten to turn it off and somehow the PC kept the monitor awake. I thought I would have burn in for sure but running the Pixel Refresh and there was zero burn in. Sure there are ways to get burn in to happen but I feel like its all super easy to avoid even with a modicum of thought and even then it seems when you do make a mistake its not the end of the world.
Just over DisplayPort. So you can enable FreeSync over DisplayPort, but not HDMI. It's the one single function that makes AMD GPUs desirable outside of The Faithful today.
I haven't looked into it a lot, but when the 5700 and 5700 XT launched I remember thinking they had a solid mid range punch for a relatively modest price tag.
I'm not in the mid-range market, but I have totally been thinking about the 5700 XT as a GPU upgrade for my stepsons system.
Yeah, my OLED's burn-in was entirely a case of user error. Had I toned down the brightness and paid attention, the disaster easily could have been averted. Bottom line: OLED ain't best for extended TV viewing with any kind of scrolling across the bottom of the screen (news, sports, etc). I picked up a Sony 55" X950G and it's much better suited to my TV habits. I do miss the inky blacks of OLED, though. I'd be all over a 43" OLED for a computer monitor.Commander Shepard did experience burn-in on his OLED unfortunately, but IIRC he basically left it running the news every day for hours at a time on a high brightness level so it morphed from an LG set to a FOX News TV, hehehe. I believe that he ended up replacing it with one of the newer Samsung QLED sets, which are awesome in their own right.

Oh well I'm still happy with my 2016 LG 55" Curved OLED as my primary PC Gaming and Work Monitor.
I mean, if I can have OLED blacks, 144hz VRR over displayport at 43", I'd happily wait a few months, but I'm not willing to just bide my time on a guess that "it might be coming".
It's not like anyone can push 144FPS @ 4k with any GPU on the market with the latest games anyways. I have a 2080Ti and I'm happy to get even close to 60FPS in AC Odyssey with the settings turned down. lol

Mine has flashing lights on it!its too big! it just won't fit!

If you go back to the product link on the 1st message. It now shows a RRP of 1099 pounds which usually means it will have a similar price in the US. If this info is correct. it's a very reasonable price

I could have sworn PC hardware was almost always more expensive in Europe than in the U.S. though.
Mostly they just charge the same number of Pounds Sterling as dollars, to account for British Socialism. In Europe that doesn't fly because the Euro dropped versus the dollar, but they still have to pay the Socialists, so the number goes up.
Oh come on. Don't politicize a monitor thread
