Yes far more likely to be a limitation with the scaler and supported video interfaces than the panel itself. Samsung had a custom scaler for their screen and co-developed it with AMD to allow early DisplayPort 2.1 adoption with UHBR13.5 speeds. Looks like Acer don’t have that available which...

No, the webpage confirms 120Hz support as per the original press release and CES announcement https://www.acer.com/gb-en/predator/monitors/z57-miniled Also seems likely that the lower spec panel as a smaller number of dimming zones.

Years?! That’s a pretty condescending post. Obviously not everyone can be as smart and clever as you are 🙄 I don’t recall seeing you investigating it, providing any measurements or useful data, or establishing what the root cause of the (actually mixed) user observations were. what “you’ve...

The bit depth output from your graphics card won’t influence the active colour space of the panel or cause over saturation of colours. That’s dictated by the gamut setting on the monitor. It’s fine to leave it in 10 or 12-bit all the time

Well these modes largely exist for certification purposes :)

If you watch that video that graph is capturing the luminance performance in windows desktop (ie non HDR content) in each mode, and follows on from his observations about the multi logo protection causing some dimming in static content and SDR in modes other than the Creator modes. Also...

lol yeah he was the same with the Dell 32”. One minute it was the best thing ever, the next he hated it. Absolute trash

This guy is obsessed with glossy panel coatings. You can tell straight away from his ridiculous thumbnail that he’s just going to moan about the matte coating. Same old boring rant

although only if you were also using the sRGB mode during SDR too. many people probably just stick with the wide gamut mode (like user preset) in SDR too for the full colour experience :)

TFTCentral review now live too 32" 4K OLED Gaming is here and it's amazing! - MSI MPG321URX Review https://youtu.be/8FRuWZTUE0A

yes although they also say that can be improved through calibration, and is also betterin HDR by default

TFTCentral review also live :) https://tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/asus-rog-swift-pg32ucdm

TFTCentral review also up now https://tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/asus-rog-swift-pg34wcdm

But their version is curved keep in mind

The 32” has a QD OLED panel and so the normal semi glossy style coating, not grainy matte :) keep in mind there’s only two tiers or DisplayHDR True Black (400 and 500) which is for OLED panels. Not to be confused with the LCD HDR400 etc tiers

well they've said early Q1 at the moment as an estimated date. It will def be quicker than your timelines i'm sure :)

Review of the C3 here And best settings guide too for any owners

It’s down to the much higher pixel density of monitor sized panels. This article has all the currently expected timelines for panel development, with monitors likely to be 3 months or so behind https://tftcentral.co.uk/news/monitor-oled-panel-roadmap-updates-march-2023

What do you think they’ve locked exactly? HDR mode has mostly locked settings which is what Vincent was talking about, but SDR mode offers very high levels of flexibility, even in sRGB emulation mode, which is very rare for a monitor. If you’re talking about HDR mode which settings do you need...

Another garbage post

TFTCentral review is live now too https://tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/lg-27gr95qe-oled

I think you’re getting this muddled up. OLED EX is the same thing as WBE, the terms are interchangeable for the newer generation of OLED panels. WBC is the older gen. Newer WBE panels have a higher peak brightness but ONLY on the larger screen sizes, and has no difference on the 42” model...

Not heard of any issues beyond usual quality control related variances. There’s some further info and analysis on it from TFTCentral here too

very true. and all new brands start somewhere. i mean we've seen Gigabyte, Corsair, Asrock and Cooler Master all release monitors in recent years and none of them were in this space until recently. Even "big" monitor brands like Asus and Acer haven;t been around that long relative to Dell...

Well it doesn’t seem so if you look at the products on offer. Their 42” OLED seems pretty decent, robustly built, metal enclosure, decent stand etc. not cheap and tacky really

Think it’s covered on the site too. A quite well known manufacturer from China, but they’re expanding outside of that region now to US and Europe. Seems a decent screen tbh Edit: this gives background and round up of their display range...

There’s a new review at TFTCentral for the KTC G42P5, a new 42” OLED which looks decent https://tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/ktc-g42p5-oled They’ve got a comparison video too comparing it to the LG and Asus models

This And on the LG C2 you could only do it from service menu sadly but a service remote only costs about $10

You’re talking about the ASBL there as opposed to ABL I believe? The one which detects static content and dims when the picture isn’t changing as much

It has a SPDIF as you described according to the specs too :)

You’re probably thinking about the ASBL as opposed to the ABL. if you’re running the LG at a sensible brightness level for desktop use anywhere under 200 nits the ABL should never be needed. But the ASBL on the other hand will always kick in when it detects static content and dim the screen...

Well nothing. But what if you are using the large screen from a further viewing position for gaming, videos or consoles than you might do a normal monitor? You don’t want to have to keep leaning forward to use the buttons to change settings or switch modes

Well the same could be said for the LG!

Uniform brightness was broken in those original firmwares. You need v031 as reviewed by TFT Central after the issues with the earlier FW in those areas

Yeah 240Hz looks like it could be amazing on OLED as I’m sure most people expected. Source of the above photos here 240Hz OLED monitor?! - Hands on with the Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 BENDABLE OLED monitor

There’s some interesting analysis and commentary on ClearMR here as well at TFT Central https://tftcentral.co.uk/articles/vesa-clearmr-certification-our-analysis-thoughts-and-concerns

TFT Central have their news piece up covering all the official info on the Asus 42” OLED PG42UQ as well as first impressions and hands on from the Uk launch event last week https://tftcentral.co.uk/news/asus-rog-swift-pg42uq-42-oled-full-details-and-hands-on-first-impressions

HDR for what and in what context? Not for Dolby Vision or HLG content. Not for consoles :)
