Just buy her a laptop. The only reason to get anything larger is either heavy gaming or need of significant compute (video cranscoding or the like). I did that with my father and mother and they are both happily using the laptop which they can take with them. The era of buying a box computer is...

I did buy 3080ti for $1300 two weeks ago (same model as original poster). It has been working great with no issues (no mem overheating either). Paired great with 48C1 and I can now run games 4k120 (yes I actually get 120 fps in most games).

Does it have blast processing ?

That is better then the old spoof of the FX5800 cooling solution:

My 55C7 was perfect (no burnin) until 8000 hour mark or so (at 100 OLED and contrast). By 14,000 hours when I replaced it with 48C1 it was noticeably less bright in the center. The red went first, then green, then blue. The white went last.

Well there certainly does not seem to be a shortage of money floating around

My 55C7 was perfect until about 8,000 hours mark. By 14,000 hours it was noticeably burned in and I replaced it with 48C1. I used 100% OLED and 100% contrast (max settings) through its life. I had pixel shift and both ABLs turned on always. For best results only light up the pixels that you are...

The LG OLED is not an ideal work from home/office monitor. The ABL itself can be a nuisance. In my case since I primarily used VNC I just made myself a 1440p VNC window to workplace and used it that way (leaving the rest of screen dark). In general for that usage an LCD will work better.

I have brightness+OLED set to max on my panel (when I used it for work from home I would lower it as mostly white screen was too much at 100%). If you run with lower brightness the panel should last longer. I had screen saver set to 1 min (turn off screen) which then triggers the TV own...

My C7 55 OLED has 13,300 hrs run time by now (I use it a lot). It was perfect up until ~8000hr mark. After that the refresher was not keeping up anymore and I started getting "shadows" which is basically burn in. It started on red first then green then blue and finally now even on white. Also...

This is probably for some thin/light/air type of laptops. OLEDs are thin and light and would make some sense for 14inch size there.

I am sure it has been planned, but: Every new silicon (3080) has new features that have to be disabled due to functional bugs and timing issues due to design or process which lower clock speed, increase power draw or lower yields. These can only be realistically found once you have silicon in...

LG has been releasing a new OLED every year since at least 2016 (when I started paying attention). Given the current HDMI 2.1 issues with 2020 CX OLED firmware/chipset waiting for 2021 models is a viable plan (and as bonus both AMD and NVIDIA HDMI 2.1 offerings should be widely available by then)

It takes about 3-4 months to do a full revision of existing silicon. So assuming NVIDIA wants to do some fixes on 3xxx silicon (which is what you would do to get more performance) the earliest you are going to see it in a product is Feb-March timeframe. But this could be significantly longer if...

This really does not matter much to normal users. The gains from one CPU generation to next are fairly minimal these days. For me my last system (4c haswell) lasted over 5 years. The only reason I upgraded to 9900k+new mobo is that my old one was starting to fail. By the time you have a...

The solution is simple. When you first release your card price it at $2000. Once you have more supply than demand drop it to $1900 etc untill you arrive at the $800 MSRP. If you want card early you can get it without hassle for more $. If you can wait you get it cheaper later and the extra...

Power === Performance These days GPUs and CPUs are primarily limited by their power. If you can make your GPU/CPU 20% more efficient you can get 20% more performance out of it. We are likely seeing the twilight of 30% generational performance improvements in GPUs due to power and process limits

Make sure you save the image to disk and view it using Windows image viewer (not a browser). Then make it full screen and make sure the image is not scaled in any way (the image itself is 960x720 pixels so it should only cover a small part of the screen. The key is to not resize it up or down)...

View this image at 100% without any scaling. It is the best test of 4:4:4 vs 4:2:2. Download the image and view it outside browser (this will not work inside browser as scaling destroys the test) You will be able to read one or the other (4:2:2 at the top or 4:4:4 at the bottom).

For games/movies I run with 100oled, 100contrast, 50brigntness (essentially max settings) on my personal gaming machine. The work is done on work laptop that is on another HDMI input and has different reduced brightness settings (as white screen at max is way too much on oled for longer than few...

I am in the same situation were I use my C7 for gaming/movies 90% of the time and occasionally for work (well more than occasionally last few months). The OLED can be used for this purpose but it is not an ideal work display. The most annoying thing can be ABL. Just scrolling text around in a...

I would take a 5% increase in HDMI. 2.0 to 2.1 really all I need

Thanks for the info.

I ran into this issue with my new PC build and these latest drivers: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4733/kw/missing "Per Microsoft requirements, the NVIDIA Control Panel is no longer included in the driver package and is instead distributed exclusively through the...

I had a curved samsung 55 inch TV which I used as a monitor. Ironically a large curved TV made sense when used up close as a monitor. Curved did not make sense on a TV TV where you are sitting far away. That is why the curved TVs "went away". With OLED technology it does not matter as much but...

You can make the 55 inch work as a computer monitor (I have the LG 55 inch C7) but it only makes sense if you cannot get a smaller size for the technology you want. Something around 40-45 inch is the max perfect size for a monitor.

I have had C7 since early 2017 (~2 years now). I have no burn in. This is my primary monitor I use every day (heavily). On the other hand after 2 years my 2015 Samsung JS9000 (55 inch) developed really bad bleed through at the left/right edges where the back light is. So my experience is that...

I have 2017 LG C7 that I have been using as my primary monitor for close to 2 years now. I have zero burn in. I did take some common sense precautions. I moved the desktop icons and taskbar to 2nd monitor. I downloaded a few hundred 4k backgrounds that change every minute. Other than that I...

Most monitors/TVs are set to high color temperature (~9000K) which is too blue. It is tiring to the eyes over long duration. Lower your display temperature to something close to 6000K.

You are living in a golden era of display technologies The progress made in the last 15 years is absolutely astonishing. 15 years ago I was using a monitor that was not that different from what was available 30 years ago. Today I have a huge display wall with lifelike colors, no distortions...

You are not the first person to have such problems. Here is a video with some practical solutions:

The OLED burn in fears are greatly overblown under realistic usage. I have been using my LG C7 for last 1.5 years as my primary monitor. I have zero burn in on any color. I would never go back to CRTs over displays available today.

I have a 55 inch OLED I have been using for over a year as my primary monitor. It is fantastic. That being said you do need to do a few things to make 55 inch practical as you cant just place it on desk like normal monitor. 1) You have to set the monitor below the level of the desk to lower...

There seems to have been a significant pixel refresher change in the LG C7 OLED monitor FW recently. Today when turning off the monitor I got this big warning that it is about to run the pixel refresher (it has never done that before). Then about an hour later it showed some other message (I...
