    LG Display Tease The First True Black 1000 OLED Panel and the Return of BFI for Computex 2026

    Good point about laptops. Perhaps the weird subpixel structure allows for higher brightness? I know phone OLEDs use some weird pattern and not RGB stripe like PC monitors, not sure about laptops though. I'm no expert on the subject, just making guesses. I'm just finally glad OLED monitors with...

    That's the second confirmation we have of the $1099 price point now.

    Alienware AW3926QW Glossy 39" 5K2K 165Hz w/ RGB Stripe

    That is seriously some insanely aggressive pricing. $1099 is an instant buy from me, makes the LG 39GX look like a complete rip off.

    Alienware AW3926QW Glossy 39" 5K2K 165Hz w/ RGB Stripe

    $1100? How could they sell it for that low when LG's own 39GX is $1800. If that really does end up being the price then I'll get one as well, I was expecting it to be the same price as LG. Maybe Linus got the wrong info on pricing and was given the price of the 34" QD OLED monitor instead which...

    Alienware AW3926QW Glossy 39" 5K2K 165Hz w/ RGB Stripe

    500 nits. That would give it tons of headroom to do BFI since BFI kills brightness by quite a bit, I think the most aggressive BFI settings tend to reduce max brightness by half or maybe a little bit more. It also means far, far less aggressive ABL for HDR content.

    LG Display Tease The First True Black 1000 OLED Panel and the Return of BFI for Computex 2026

    That would be nice but really 1 frame of lag is nothing, if you're missing shots and blaming 1 frame of lag as the reason why then I'd say that's more of a skill issue. Elvn could probably write up why such input lag figures means nothing when it comes to online play :D I'm really hoping BFI...

    Alienware AW3926QW Glossy 39" 5K2K 165Hz w/ RGB Stripe

    Perhaps it was just lighting conditions in that photo that made it appear that way. I'll be honest though, with the announcement of DisplayHDR 1000 monitors coming from LG Display at some point this has pretty much killed any excitement I had for this monitor lol.

    Guess I'll be doing another playthrough of RE9. I forced the Gen 1 Transformer model for RR through Nvidia Inspector but it still had some of that typical path traced noise. Excited to see how much cleaner it's going to look now.

    Alienware AW3926QW Glossy 39" 5K2K 165Hz w/ RGB Stripe

    Isn't that an 8K2K Mini LED though? And of course its 57" instead of 39" so it's quite a different experience.

    LG Display Tease The First True Black 1000 OLED Panel and the Return of BFI for Computex 2026

    Strobing/BFI always adds input lag, but it's not any amount that would actually matter or else those CS2 pros would not be using it if it's constantly making them "miss their shots". Even if it reduces brightness by 50%, being True Black 1000 means it's already capable of 500 nits fullscreen so...

    LG Display Tease The First True Black 1000 OLED Panel and the Return of BFI for Computex 2026

    Yeah seriously I'm glad the past 4 years of terrible HDR on OLED monitors is finally starting to come to an end. Yeah that seems to be the case, or perhaps "Aperture Ratio" is the more accurate term here?. TBH, 1000 nits in real scene content is enough for me and I would just focus on higher...

    Alienware AW3926QW Glossy 39" 5K2K 165Hz w/ RGB Stripe

    We'll just need to wait for some reviews but I'm going to guess and say that the actual real world gaming brightness will not be too far behind the LG 39GX.

    Alienware AW3926QW Glossy 39" 5K2K 165Hz w/ RGB Stripe

    The brightness hit from losing the white subpixel is pretty minimal here, 1300 nits peak instead of 1500 nits peak so a loss of 200 nits which at that level is nothing really. Fullscreen is 300 nits instead of 335 so again it's not like you are getting the half the brightness by removing it. The...

    Alienware AW3926QW Glossy 39" 5K2K 165Hz w/ RGB Stripe

    I'm wondering why 2H hardness instead of 3H though, even the latest gen QD OLEDs have upgraded to 3H since there was a lot of complaints from owners of the previous gen about how easy it was to scratch up.

    Alienware AW3926QW Glossy 39" 5K2K 165Hz w/ RGB Stripe

    Not 100% sure TBH. Normally Alienware markets glossy as "Anti-Reflective" while matte gets marketed as "Anti-Glare" and this is being listed as Anti-Reflective.

    Alienware AW3926QW Glossy 39" 5K2K 165Hz w/ RGB Stripe

    Apparently this is not the same RGWB panel found in the LG 39GX. Alienware's own slide: So it's glossy and no white subpixel unlike the LG model...seems like this just made the 39GX dead in the water.

    Samsung 4K 360Hz/FHD 680Hz QD OLED w/ RGB Stripe and True Black 600

    Samsung 4K 360Hz/FHD 680Hz QD OLED w/ RGB Stripe and True Black 600

    Samsung 4K 360Hz/FHD 680Hz QD OLED w/ RGB Stripe and True Black 600

    Based on refresh rate alone yeah I wouldn't upgrade just for that, like if there was a 360Hz PG32UCDP but all other aspects being exactly the same then I wouldn't bite. But as a whole package this seems like a big enough upgrade over it for me to jump on it.

    Samsung 4K 360Hz/FHD 680Hz QD OLED w/ RGB Stripe and True Black 600

    I already tested 4x mode with a base frame rate of 100 on my PG32UCDP running in 480Hz mode and I just didn't like it, I'm well aware that you should not use FG on very low base frame rates. But even with a 100 fps base there was too many artifacts and there was also too much of a disconnect...

    Samsung 4K 360Hz/FHD 680Hz QD OLED w/ RGB Stripe and True Black 600

    With 2x frame generation I'm able to max out my 4K 165Hz display, 4x frame gen would allow me to max out 360Hz. It's just that right now I'm really not liking anything beyond 2x, but DLSS is constantly improving so just like with super resolution, Nvidia will eventually polish the 3x/4x frame...

    So TFTC says that mass production won't begin until 2H of the year, probably towards the end. This is looking more like a CES 2027 thing when it comes to actual monitor launches using this panel.

    DP 1.4 does not have enough bandwidth for 4K 360Hz according to this calculator even if you use DSC: https://www.club-3d.com/bandwidth-calculator What port and bandwidth's get applied totally depend on the monitor maker, not the panel maker. For example, Acer may choose to use gimped DP 2.1 but...

    Would a modern CRT make any sense?

    It's probably not about the frame rate, more like those super old games are rendering at like 240p and technically CRTs do not have a native resolution and will always make super low res content appear better Vs a modern display. If all you care about is playing Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis...

    Would a modern CRT make any sense?

    It's ULMB2 but this specific version is found only on GSync Pulsar displays, the previous ULMB2 found on non Pulsar displays looks nothing like this. And if I don't care about oldass 2D retro games then I have no need for a CRT, got it!

    Would a modern CRT make any sense?

    I grew up with CRTs and only switched over to LCD in 2013 when I discovered the Lightboost hack on the Asus VG248QE and I don't miss CRTs one bit. Especially now that GSync pulsar is now capable of making 60Hz content look like this: So what exactly is the need for CRT anymore if you're...

    LG 48C6 OLED48C6PUA evo AI C6 4K Smart TV 2026

    It should be fixable because this is not a bandwidth problem. My 4K 240Hz monitor is pushing even more bandwidth off DP 1.4 vs the G6 pushing 4K 165Hz off HDMI 2.1 and my monitor does not have fudged colors as a result. My S95F also does not have fudged colors due to running DSC at 165Hz...

    Samsung G8 G80HS 6k @ 165Hz dual mode 3K @ 330Hz priced at $1499 anyone interested I am considering it and comparing it to my samsung neo g9 57''

    Sure but IMO there is more to what makes a display look good today besides "How many pixels does it have?". Contrast is a big factor and not being OLED or mini LED means it will have terrible contrast. Color volume is another big one and again this display completely lacks in that area. It's...

    Yeah but how good is Samsung's processor compared to LG's 2026 alpha 11? That is the big selling point of the C6 as the newer processor over the C5 gets rid of the diagonal dithering for a far more subtle and less distracting grain effect as well as significantly improving the gradient banding...

    The upcoming 32 inch Tandem WOLED might paint a different picture but it's not reviewed yet. Perhaps brightness on that won't be reduced as much as say QD OLED counterparts. Reason why I say that is this: This is a comparison of power draw between the 55" S95F and G5 in various scenarios. You...
