Not sure why companies are still making 4k144Hz monitors that bring nothing new to the table. This Lenovo one seems like a Gigabyte clone released a year and a half too late.
I think the current FALD monitors could be good if prices are lowered and dimming algorithms improved.
Most interesting upcoming monitor will be Asus PG32UQXE, which will be the first monitor with Gsync Ultimate + HDMI 2.1 if rumors are true.
Yes, too many people automatically think more local dimming zones = better. In fact, some manufacturers are purposely limiting the number of zones below what the monitor can technically support with its mini-LEDs.
Yes the main issue with AOC PD32M is the slow local dimming algorithm, which could be fixed but unfortunately AOC has a bad track record of firmware updates.
For anyone waiting on the X32 FP, the AOC PD32M is the same price with double the FALD zones (and it's out already).

Though some would prefer 500 zones over 1k due to less haloing.
Theoretically DSC can triple the bandwidth, but whether this has ever been implemented successfully, is unknown.
Does anyone with a Neo G8 know if 4k240Hz 10-bit is doable over DP?
But 4k/144Hz/8-bit over DP1.4 isn't possible without DSC.
So I'm curious why Venturi had an issue where 4k/144Hz/8-bit worked but 4k/144Hz/10-bit did not. That should never be the case with DP1.4. Either both will work (with DSC), or neither will work (without DSC).
Isn't it weird that DP1.4 with DSC can do 4k144Hz 8-bit but not 10-bit? DSC should be able to triple the bandwidth.
Maybe whatever implementation of DSC the monitor is using is gimped.
I only knew about the switch after reading reviews. Still doesn't change the fact the 3 I had all had dead pixels and coil whine. Someone out there had the perfect M32U and returned it because they didn't know about the power switch.
Same as PG32UQ. i.e slow response times. Does have very nice colors though. And it's true HDMI 2.1 unlike the Gigabyte monitors.
Mine had pixel inversion artifacting, but that could have been due to bad panel lottery.
