I use 65" LG OLED as daily monitor,not sure I would go down to 48" but for sure would go up to 85".

Denial:

I had both and I strongly disagree with this statement. The ABL on the LG is way more noticable and annoying than the QD-OLED in HDR True Black mode. LG's overshoot "fix" for darks makes grays look terrible. Sitting too close to the LG you can see blue hue shifts on the edges (I personally don't sit close enough to see it) The pixel shift feature on the LG can randomly remove parts of the image on the edges. LG doesn't cover burn in with the warranty, which is a pretty big drawback when using it for a desktop monitor. I ended up returning the LG and keeping the Alienware. That being said Alienware has some drawbacks - subpixel text rendering and the black fade in brightly lit rooms being two of them. I play in a dark room so the latter doesn't affect me at all. I mostly couldn't get over the ABL on the LG, it was super distracting. That being said I love my 65" LG OLED TV.

Am I in the wrong thread? This is about the Asus, right? The 42Inch OLED they just released (and 48Inch) and that I cannot get for love or money?

haste:

We might be able to use our custom water cooling at some point. It might increase HDR peak brightness 🙂 What I really hope for is Sony's take on QDOLED 34" ultra wide. I still remember Sony Trinitron CRTs, which were awesome. Damn this is exciting time, OLEDs are finally proliferating to consumer monitor space.

I think they hit mass-market appeal with the release of 42inch models, across the board - so not just consumers, but businesses, too. I would add that once the standards for HDR were finalised, it got easier to produce panels you knew would be in demand. More boxes got ticked, and, over the last 3 years, we've had the prices for 6-12 month old models dropping the retail price to 15-60% of the original release price. This QD-OLED is interesting, and I do think it's the best option for now - yet...this is a cinema-graded Desktop panel, that could be wall-mounted (because desktop mounts with a VESA400 are a nightmare) and the 42Inch is very big, yet, I suspect is (again) far easier if using a wall mount, because that stand is just....horrific. It reminds me of a cheap 80's sci-fi called 'THE TRIPODS'.

this is not "just" the same as the LG it is tweaked from pcb. very much like hot-rodding a car starting with the engine, plus they're calibrated. this may very well be worth the ROG "tax"... and is a far better buy than any they have offered at size (32" doesn't count) in the last five years ... speaking as a late-model ROG Swift owner

i think we should remember that QD -OLED is a workaround. as good as they may look they go through an inherently more expensive process because they don't hold the license for color OLED. thus the added expense of sourcing W-OLEDs from your competitor, then layering Q-IPS over it. and the yield for the fusion process is alarmingly low. Samsung was brilliant to strike with smaller monitor panels but the the points i made above are obvious from retail and availability. it simply is their bet that the price of mini-leds will continue to fall (as more production comes online) as they have transitioned their entire high-end line to mini-led. and yes the hybrid mini-(w)led IPS are a workaround too but makes better sense as it doesn't involve your competitors.

If that's the case then yeah it might improve on some of those issues -- i just assumed ASUS slaps a ROG logo on the LG and calls it a day.

i don't blame you as that's what just about everyone else does
