I can't believe it's actually happening. I didn't think I'd live long enough to see the true replacement of CRT technology, but here we are. Amazing.

I wouldn't be surprised if the panel being used here is the same one that LG quietly announced a few weeks back. Pricing will be a huge factor but I'm honestly excited. After I replace the parts on the PC I will be saving up for an OLED monitor for sure. I always said to my friends that if they hit the market and tick all the boxes I'd be there with my wallet.

It is the same. But there may be additional features to it like a heatsink. ([youtube=Z07iPLJuDI0] 0:23 seconds)
EDIT: Question is: are you paying more for the brand and the weird LED under the monitor or for more quality.

as long as 32in is just 2k and there is no info if any ABLM is used, dont care.
i can already have bigger (120hz) oleds for less, while having higher res.

I can't believe it's actually happening. I didn't think I'd live long enough to see companies consistently releasing out of date specification monitors, purely because they are overstocked on old chipsets and panels.
This is insane, yet another monitor below specification - why have you forsaken me!

Ok. But we get still motion blur on any OLED due to the lack of strobe (= flickering) because the faster response time doesn't belong the less motion blur but yes the lower persistence time and/or higher refresh rate are/is to reduce the motion blur. 🙂

The point is exactly that if you want a 27" oled for your desk today there isn't an alternative. Is not that a LG c2 ( not sure if you refer to that ) is the best solution for everyone.
I can't game 4k and i don't plan to, and i can't put a 42 inches on my desk to play some games sometimes.
But i would love a 32inch or 27inch monitor with oled quality

I'd say it will be the usual crazy price. I'm sure its a great display, as most LG OLED are like the 55" I have in living room. But as a software engineer who works from home, I wonder is OLED panel like this capable of at least 7 hours a day of static display of coding environment.
Also maybe the newer more advanced Samsung QLED panels (with quantum dot layer and better sub-pixel structure for brightness & color) would be more suitable for "best in class" gaming monitors?

Get ready for free burn-ins lol.

I'm glad
I highly doubt i would suffer from that, i use my monitor at 20% brightness.
Actually, my current one at 50cd/m2 is at about 17%. And that's plenty bright in the evenings.

strobing is a bad work-around - period.
and gamers are in the same demographic as the folks experiencing their first (strobe induced) seizures
so yeah go spend that hard earned money on something that might put you in the ER (or A&E for Brits)
there will be zero motion blur at a refresh rate of 240 HZ - period
blur happens when the action on screen outpaces the refresh rate - it "ain't" gonna happen here
Hulk12
Ok but 240 Hz is for zero motion blur!?? FALSE but yes this refresh rate means 4.2 ms of persistence time (or of motion blur).
Better understand - https://blurbusters.com/faq/oled-motion-blur/ 🙂
tunejunky
i understand all of that and i fundamentally disagree with any proposition of strobing.
i've been in the industry longer than any of the people making those observations which are well made but narrowly apply
Hulk12
Ok. If you don't want to enable strobe (hardware or software) for reduce the motion blur issue at 60Hz, unfortunately we don't exist any other solution for almost eliminate this effect (issue).
JamesSneed
These could have really good motion blur we don't know yet. Not zero but low enough it doesn't matter. Need to see these panels reviewed.
JamesSneed
Same and am going to end up with one of these very likely. Well one of the 240Hz OLED's. The contrast should be amazing, and these should have much cleaner text than the QD-OLED's.

can I have 27" oled that 60hz with VRR? that dont cost as much as ps5. talking around 300$... probably not gona happen and I will die before i see such prices for such sizes.
CRT in motion @ 60HZ is clearer on mothion then then even 120+ hz from lcd but 60hz oled sould be close to a CRT@ 60hz. When I had one those 144hz LG panels i went out way to compare the 144hz in motion to to my CRT trinitron at 60hz was on par with if not better then that 144hz test. and I will never be intresting in throw the kind money need at gpu to feed such framerates.

Finally, the end game monitors are coming. Once i get one i can finally rest in peace. Tho my G7 is good stop gap
tunejunky
there is no motion blur issue @ 60Hz with a higher native refresh rate - which is the hardware solution

@asturur
you can game on a 4k screen with lower in game res.
works just fine, and still looks better than running a 1080/1440p screen of identical size.
i switched from a 32 (1440p) to a 50in (UHD), so i get almost double the real estate,
while getting the same FPS as i still play at 1440p (in game res), while not seeing a screen door effect at same distance (2-3ft) compared to the 32.
sure screen size itsnt for everyone, but to say "you cant (properly) game on a 4K screen", just because you dont get 120hz@native res, is incorrect.
ignoring that features like VRR are enough so that i can play BF V with (smartly) maxed out IQ settings, running 2160p@60Hz, using a 2080S.
@Hulk12
response time mainly impact ghosting/trails, not motion blur.
virtually all tvs/screens in the past 15y improved motion blur by increasing refresh to 100/120Hz, 200/240 etc,
while response times didnt change as much (as in equal amount), ignoring there are screens doing 25ms and still look "better" than some with half/a third of that number.
