It won't be the next 24" 1080p. Even if someone makes a perfect 42" OLED like you suggest, you'll be buying a new one every 3 to 5 years because of burn in.

Likely this is caused by the difference in motion clarity from the faster response of the pixels on OLED.

Almost certainly can't mount it. The stand looks like a similar design to the Corsair bendable monitor and that one can't be VESA moutned because the stand contains most of the electronics to run the monitor. Its going to be an issue with all the bendable panels I'm afraid.

Very likely yes. People here are forgetting, but the reports on this panel were that Samsung was getting like 1/3 yields. That is abysmal even in the world of OLED. They also only had one line running for this panel. Limited capacity and abysmal yields meant this panel was never going to exist...

That's because the yield on those tiny 34" panels was only 30%, not because they only wanted to do a test release. Its going to be awhile before we see large QD-OLEDs or large supplies of them.

Biggest advantage is you only need an HDMI 2.0 compatible GPU for the Alienware. To get more than 60Hz on the LG you need a 3000 series card.

Monitor is available to buy on the main site now, but delivery dates are for June...

Thanks for the heads up. I had cancelled my order through the guest page in favor of the discount ones being posted for certain businesses, but bailed out. Some of these are probably honeypots to steal CC info.

Samsung keeps marketing this in portrait mode, which is a gimmick and stupid, but this thing in landscape mode could be a game changer. Its an ultrawide with more vertical space, which many many people have been clamoring for.

At 1440p this thing looks like a huge loser. Its going to be north of $2k and even if the picture quality and brightness is better, that's a lot more money than an LG 42" is going to cost. Combine that with the legendary samsung (lack of) QC and its a hard pill to swallow. If they released a...

If this has the same "curve" as the G7 its going to be DOA. Its frustrating that Samsung markets their monitors as 1000R because they are not that. They have a 1000R curve in the middle third of the monitor and then straight sides. This makes everything look terrible on the monitor because...

Seems like the performance is okay now, but they just can't manufacture these things. throw away 2 panels for every 1 you make and you can only make a million panels a year. You'd have to charge ten thousand dollars to turn a profit on a panel like that.

Doesn't bode well that Samsung isn't even going to be demoing their QD-OLED panels at CES. Likely means we're not going to see them in 2022.

Unless they are going to give more control over the dimming than the LG there doesn't seem to be much point to get one. Its doubtlessly going to be more than the LG and getting a DP port and a few extra Hz doesn't seem worth the extra cash.

People's sensitivity to refresh rates is extremely individual-dependent. I barely notice a difference between 60hz and 144hz and spent months trying to find ways to make sure my 144Hz monitor was actually working. But, I have friends who notice the difference between 120 and 144 and 144 and 165...
