May be like their first 55" OLED panel with the gimped non-existant HDR, but there may be some hope from that article:
Curved screens are awful. I genuinely do not understand why they exist and I owned one for 6 months
Probably, most sources state 3440x1440 or UWQHD and that would make more sense.
I run my 50" QN90A in either 2160p, 3840x1080, or 2560x1080. Whichever resolution I choose there is no risk of burn in so I essentially have a 3 in 1. A huge 4k display, an ultra wide high resolution for ultra wide plus image quality with more performance, or the very high performance 2560x1080 if I really want fast response and lowest lag. This QN90A should last me 5-10 years easy. All the color contrast and light without the risk of burn in at all. Also I have not once ever noticed blooming. Never. For these reasons I could care less what LG & Samsung release for the next 5+ years no looking back and not worried about "what's coming next".
Samsung CHG70 - It had horrible color banding, shit input lag and the curve is pointless. I never struggle to see the edges of any of my displays, just put the monitor on an arm and adjust viewing distance accordingly. Don't get me started on ultrawides... the only games they are good for are FPS and even there you'd be better off with a 16:9 display for anything with verticality (New warzone map, Apex, etc).
I disagree. I'll take this over a 42" 4K any day. 42" is too large for me (34 is pushing it tbh) and performance @ 4K in demanding games just isn't there. From a gaming perspective, this shits all over a 42" 4K screen.
We get it: you wish you bought an OLED.
lol no you wish I did. I couldn't be happier I dodged that bullet hah!
Windows font is designed for 96 PPI, so the 48" would be most optimal choice in that regard. If we ignore subpixel layout issues.
Interesting, so the game either adds +horizontal realestate or it doesn't, I didn't know that so I'm definitely misinformed. What about games like Xcom, Civ, Rocket League and Hades? Would those just stretch?
Completely game dependant. Key sites would be PCGamingWiki and WSGF (Widescreen Gaming Forum). As they maintain lists on support, fixes and etc.
Difference with smaller screens is you need to be right in front of it with superman vision. With larger screens & higher resolutions you can lean back in you chair further stretch your legs maybe even on the couch and still have an immersive high resolution experience you can easily see without struggling on a smallerish screen. With my 32 I felt like I needed to be pulled into the desk with my gut close to the desk. 42 is a good balance 32 or 34 is rather small & 50 is huge but very immersive.
It depends on PPI, not screen size.
Shhh. It's okay. I won't tell anyone. Just let it out...
PPI is mostly irrelevant for competitive FPS, we run all low settings anyway. 27 inch 1440p with native windows scaling is the smallest font I can stand. I'm actually concerned the 42" will be too small for native windows scaling @4k but I'll have it on an arm so I can move it closer. Non-standard windows scaling causes input lag increases on a lot of games which is totally unacceptable. I play warzone on a 280hz 1080p 27 inch with only 35 PPI, it's terrific.
Hmm? 27 inch 1080p is 81 PPI.
Not really how it works, higher PPI always makes Windows text look better if there's no subpixel issues. That's why people even buy 4K 27" monitors at all.
It doesn't always work properly as not all programs take the scaling into consideration or obey it.
Input lag issues, doesn't always work properly... 100% native scaling still has it's benefits.
My mistake, 27inch 1080p is 35 PPD (Pixels per Degree) at 23 inches viewing distance.
lol I find it funny also. I actually returned a C1 & have a completely burned in oled phone also I genuinely hate oled technology lmao. Meanwhile I'm guarding my QN90A like a bulldog for years absolutely love this bulletproof panel =DShhh. It's okay. I won't tell anyone. Just let it out...
In full disclosure my brother has the tv you have and loves it. I tease him about it because I have a OLEDs.
I'll say, "That's okay, OLEDs can be intimidating, I get it." He then punches me in the arm.
Maybe they'll reintroduce 4:3 as well?
16:9 doesn't need "reintroduction", it's the standard. 21:9 is more of a curiosity than a new standard, it doesn't even fit on most desks with decent vertical height.
That is very very quickly changing. Just like it did when we moved from 4:3 to 16:9. No stopping it now either as other media like shows on Streaming Services and Cable TV start to use it.(The Mandalorian, StarTrek Discovery etc etc). The creep to it be coming the new common standard has already started and it's not going to stop.
But it's not the same thing. The creep into 16:9 happened because 4:3 didn't take into account the fact that humans have two eyes.That is very very quickly changing.

What has happened before, will happen again
Interestingly, when Samsung flew out Linus from LTT to show them QD OLED I’m pretty sire I heard him say the monitor they used to show off QD OLED was the Alienware. Hopefully that means it’s pretty solid for a press outing.
