Buying anything that's not OLED at this point feels like fucking up.

Aren't there burn-in issues with those still? I often have the same thing on my screen for hours and days overall, and I don't want that to be a problem. Or has that all been resolved?

Well, I don't run my monitors very bright so I can't imagine it ever burning in.

What's the point of having OLED and turning off HDR
Click to expand...
I turn on HDR when there's a game that uses it.

These QD-OLED displays have a high enough contrast ratio that you can get a full 0-255 brightness range without black crush even without maxing out the brightness even in HDR.

You just have to calibrate it correctly. The new HDR calibration app in the Microsoft Store + this website LCD monitor test images and you can dial it in very well even without an external tool.

Hahhahahhaha!!!!

Mist Mist is that player in BF2042 you just follow and hope for the best. Most times I must admit it works out. The other times I am getting Mist up off the ground in some fucked up spot I have no business even attempting to res.

Burned my AW3423DWF in within 3.5 months doing excel stuff for most of the day. So I'm back to regular LCDs. And the exchange process with Dell is a fucking nightmare so I'm just eating it as a learning lesson.

Hence why I went with the larger IPS instead of the OLED. Dell (LG) IPS panels are so good it's really hard to give up the combination of quality and features. I do really hope they solve OLED though because they are really nice looking.

I think I'm just waiting for micro LCD or whatever is the successor for that. The organic part of the OLED is the downfall of them if you're doing productivity stuff.

MY LG CX TV is has a clearly superior picture to my LG IPS monitor, but I still don't trust OLED for my PC. Especially not when they're still a good deal more expensive to boot.
