These are really meaningless outside of price. Thunderbolt is useful if you're going to... use a Macbook and hook a DAS up through the monitor? HDR600 likewise; if it's the same panel / backlight array, then that bullet point likely comes from a relaxation of standards. The fan could be annoying... or not. Who really knows.
It's $1600.
It has local dimming to achieve the hdr600, and the panel itself is the updated version of the panel used in the LG 38GL950G, according to tftcentral.
Nobody argues with that. Still, noticeably better than the hdr400.
Most of the games I play are in HDR and look stunning. I'd get another OLED just for that.
HDR600 is just max brightness; if that's useful, cool, but otherwise it seems pretty extraneous if the local dimming isn't also effective.
Brightness is the same on both monitors. The HDR600 is achieved by deeper blacks, thanks to edge lit panel used on the 38WN95C.
Average brightness, possibly, but max brightness should be higher. That's what the number in the certification is for...
This is why I just don't care for desktop or gaming use. 400 is bright enough, really beyond too bright, for the desktop. So make it cheaper or... whatever, really.
Hopefully the edge lit panel gets rid of the vignetting.
LOL
Nobody yet removed the fan. I don't think it's possible without further damaging the display. They say there is some kind of frame compensational technology that engages when the fps dips below 40, that eliminates (kind of) the stuttetring. Check out the LG 38WN95C, probably the new king in town. personally, my eyes are on this display. Very interested in how it performs. And yeah, all modern G-sync monitors come with the same fan. Since it's built in to the Gsync hardware module. Or accomodate the LG CX48...
From what I understood from the video I posted earlier, is that hissing happens especially during the sleep mode. So maybe it's not the cockroach in your ear, but you really don't hear it because it's simply not there?
...always? Not an issue I've really even experienced, so I wonder if it's not mains power related or something else?
Backlights will fade and burn out eventually; not sure there's a synthetic light source that doesn't degrade in some manner with use. I'm wondering how you arrived at the conclusion that running them constantly was better?
Figuratively speaking - always. Literally - quite often. Don't ever rethink.
Don't know about the plug, maybe you should get it, but possibly your unit doesn't have the coil whine. In the overclock UK forum people suffer from it, I also read about it in other internet places before reading it on the OC UK forum. Dangerous monitor, you can get it, have all the smoothness of the g-sync world, and yet, remain unsatisfied. And pretty much significally unsatisfied, to the point of wanting to return the device! Incredible. But, if you're lucky you will not hear any of these downsides. Somehow! Maybe they will not be there for you... or maybe you hearing is such that doesn't sense these sounds. Or maybe you're just in a noisy room with tons of kids and the coil whine is the last thing on earth that would bother you in such conditions. Who knows.
Well, the UK also has a very different power delivery environment. Can't say that's a reason or if it's just unit variation or user variation or something else, but it's also not necessarily an 'always' thing.
That's a bit of a broad brush
I hear mine during quiet-time: work/non-gaming operation and I also hear it at night when the monitor is off. In fact I hear it 8 hours later when I wake up and I'm getting ready to start my day. The fan never stops. I can't believe this.
HDR getting better down the road is sort of a given. How far down is the unknown. Each year should be improvements however.
