wait til 2025 for rgb oled? I just wanted a change from my 48CXCongrats. I still have my Amazon order but questioning whether I should bother with this monitor and if I do getting from LG instead would make it $110 less expensive.

I mean, so far the roadmap has been true, and I remember doubters last year saying "DUDE, THERE'S NO WAY THEY'LL MAKE A 32" 4K/240HZ AND A 480HZ OLED, IT'S TOO EARLY MAN". And yet, here we are.

And what's missing on that roadmap? Oh that's right....the NITS. Again LG has relied on white subpixel for too long so whether or not they can suddenly just drop it in 1 year while still doing 1300 nits I am doubtful. If it does come out next year without any brightness drop I will be impressed.
.The second, less common type of OLED is phosphorescent OLED. When phosphorescent OLED material (PHOLED) is energized, that light-to-heat ratio becomes far more efficient at creating light — nearly 100% light and zero heat.
While the ability to create stable and accurate red PHOLED happened in 2003, and green PHOLED in 2013, the goal of an equally high-performance blue PHOLED has remained out of reach. That presents a big hurdle for the TV world.
At the moment, red and green OLED materials are predominantly used in mobile phone-, tablet-, and laptop-sized displays. They very rarely show up in TV-sized panels (this very expensive, 24-inch Sony broadcast mastering monitor being among the exceptions). Blue OLED, on the other hand, is a foundational ingredient in both LG Display’s WOLED and Samsung Display’s QD-OLED panels.
In LG’s panels, blue OLED is mixed with yellow-green OLED to create full-spectrum white light (which is then processed by a color filter). Samsung’s QD-OLED uses blue OLED as its exclusive source of light for each pixel and then converts some of the blue light into red and green light using quantum dots.
Phosphorescent blue oled + MLA (micro lens array) could potentially make up for that if included. Fluorescent blue dies fast so is one of the reasons oleds had to be so conservative. MLA focuses everything brighter instead of dispersed as much through layers normally. However WOLED + both of those would prob be even brighter in effect so depends how you look at it.

We know better than to trust manufacturer's numbers, but it's close enough at ~1200nits on Asus' monitors:And what's missing on that roadmap? Oh that's right....the NITS.

Ok, tell us the technical reason for it.....Did you not read what I said? lol. I said I am doubtful that LG can maintain the same brightness figures (whether that's 1300 or 1200 whatever) WITHOUT the white subpixel being present because they relied on it for so long. Why are you linking a monitor that has white subpixel?

i know this might not be relevant but LG now has a promo for their ultrawide 240hz gaming oleds 34 39 and 45, 100 dollars off plus 200 prepaid mastercard... good deal?
nm got the 15% off which is 210 dollars, i'll take it. came out to a total of 1261.39 with my local tax added.
Preorders are expected to start shipping the week of Mon, Apr 15
I really wish they were 3840x1600, like my good ol 38GN950. Or 5120x2160... even better. I'd upgrade to the 39" if it was. Samsung or LG tech, don't care which. I wasn't a big fan of the overblown 800R curve on the previous 45" either. It's a bit ridiculous. Sad to see they kept it the same.That makes them what, $999? If so then yeah I guess because they don't really have competition. The QD OLED UW are either 34 or 49 but not 39 or 45.

These 2024 LG ultrawides are basically placeholders until next years increased resolution.
It works.15% off code is heca(zip code) so heca11111 or whatever your zipcode is, if your zip code doesn't work try a zip code near you.
The MSI is glossy? I thought it was the standard matte finish?That 45" 5120x2160 240Hz UW really looks tempting. But my bet is that it's gonna be matte and I'm already on a glossy QD OLED so I'm not sure if it's worth switching over. UW is nice but from my experience with it, it's still not 100% supported in all cases.

Especially with the grammar of a 12 year old phone addict.I'm not sure how this guy got a review sample but he probably won't be getting anymore in the future lol.

The HP coming out in August supposedly has a glossy coating.I don't think any manufacturer is going to give us glossy OLED monitors. (Dough doesn't count) I'd swap my 27GR95QE in a second if I could find a glossy OLED monitor. It's just not likely to happen.
Correct. There are a few out now from Alienware, MSI and Asus.I think most of the upcoming qd oled 32” 240hz monitors are listed as glossy, but the corresponding woleds are matte.
Also want full glossy..... after using the 48C1 for a few years, I can't leave the glossy realm! it just goes so incredibly well with oled panels.... I'm actually kindof shocked more companies aren't going glossy versions of these new oled panels...This was the dream endgame to replace my C2 until it hit me that LG's not going to be doing full glossy on these. What a waste. Will have to wait and see what Samsung Display has in store for that size/resolution in the next couple of years.

A proper review from the Dual mode monitor, optimum is very credible. And yes, it is insane as he says.
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aJLTx12UQM
Optimum knows his e-sports displays and he seems to think its very, very good in that 480Hz mode. Looks like LG might have a winner on their hands for those that find this feature useful. I, sadly, do not. That and I really, really prefer full glossy/glass.
It sounds like you're talking theory without watching his video with in person experience.Neat but Higher fpsHz is not a 1:1 relationship to online-latent gaming servers' processing and their delivered biased (in different ways depending on the coding) interpolated results, though it is marketed as if it is. LAN gaming, LAN competitions, and testing on a lan or locally vs bots is a different animal. In fact for example, it's been related in articles that CS:go players have to recalibrate/adjust to how they play when they play on a LAN because the dynamics are so different.
Higher fpsHZ like 240fpshz, 480Hz provided the fps at max, will reduce your FoV movement blur of the entire game world (during mouse looking, movement-keying, controller panning) by 1/2 compared to 120fpsHz at max though which is a nice improvement aesthetically (and might help a tiny bit competitively, identifying/aiming at targets with a little less blur during FoV movement at speed). From the blur reduction aesthetic facet, you wouldn't want to drop to 1080p though, non native rez at that - so that wouldn't make any sense to do that for 480fpsHz.

If your point is it won't be as sharp as a native 1080p panel, I don't think anyone is confused otherwise. Optimum is a serious competitive player and is comfortable enough with its performance in the 1080p mode to stop using the $900 540hz 1080p he was using and move to a single monitor. That's pretty high praise regardless of how many theoretical numbers you can come up with.I watched the video, one of the reasons I mentioned the outlines at 1080p being muddied specifically.
Seriously lol. The higher Hz/fps isn't just about reducing input lag or motion clarity. For me, it is much easier to flick to and track targets at higher Hz/frame rates.
