I did a lot of work providing testing services to subpixel layouts, so I'm very glad to see the new subpixel structure.

Another underrated part of curved 45" is when your eyes are getting older -- and your eyeglasses prescription. The curve means your eyes are about the same distance for the whole radius. This is less strain on the range of your reading glasses. I can still go flat though when it matters --...

If you can maintain that framerate -- then you're going to get a bigger upgradefeel. I do generally recommend most mainstream people upgrade framerates & refreshrates by at least 2x, for them to feel it was worth it. Geometrics are the win in the refresh rate curve. Most games will end up...

The first ones will be on the retail market much less than half that timespan. You saw the TFTCentral Roadmap. Keep in mind the 4K 240Hz OLEDs have a fallback 1080p 480Hz mode, so you'll have your 480Hz OLED inside the window of year 2024. The dedicated 1440p 480Hz panel isn't roadmapped till...

For the PPI folx here, a big boom 31.5" sized 4K 240Hz OLEDs are coming in the next 12 months. The first will be exhibited at CES 2024. If you want to maximize your upgradefeel in ppi, that's the one to watch for! For me, my motion sensitivity means prefer a "slightly bit lower ppi" simply to...

Get the 480 Hz OLED when it arrives. WOLED's are also fine for office use nowadays; no need to worry about burn in as much as one used to. Even some LCDs degraded faster according to RTINGs. I've been Visual Studioing on a prototype 240Hz OLED for 1.5 years now. It's also better on my eyes...

I remember those lovely Kuro's. The upcoming 480 Hz OLEDs will finally produce quite some interesting advanced-rolling-BFI possibilities. I have an offline prototype of a TestUFO CRT realtime electron beam simulator (using per-scanline-brightness lookup tables, rather than realtime shader...

Plasma displays had their day, but with a theoretical 600Hz OLED, I could software-simulate those subfields. Though HDR subpixels may not pulse as brightly as plasma phosphor, the feel would be similar. It would be theoretically possible to duplicate the subfield in an emulation. However, I...

Software BFI does work on LCD on the Retrotink 4K. It just works so much better on an HDR-capable OLED, though. The nit-boosting trick for BFI works much better on OLED. But software BFI on a good quantum dot backlit LCD actually looks decent-ish (except for LCD greys), a little bit more...

Ooops, I quoted the wrong LG model! Yes, I'm talking about the other LG OLED models limited to no less than 8.3ms persistence during 60Hz BFI. For this specific one, it's likely roughly similar (due to limitations of external BFI injection can not be less than refreshtime), but the bonus card...

My Retrotink 4K prototype here, as a box-in-middle BFI, can now even out-BFI even the LG firmware BFI. I get a brighter BFI picture on my OLED than the firmware LG BFI because of the SDR->HDR converter + nitbooster trick! And I can make my 240Hz OLED 4x clearer in motion for 60fps material...

Wrong. As well-intentioned as that assumption is, based on yesterdays press release hype, it is best not to assume on tech you have not seen. 😉 OLED looks better than the SED prototype that had worse artifacts than LCD. Digtally-addressing these things often required compromises such as...

Sadly, no. There are some Sony's with HDMI input (e.g. Sony KD-30XS955), none of them better than the 900 series AFAIK as they are lower dot pitch. There's also the widescreen Sony PVM/BVM, the broadcast monitors, though they were generally designed to handle TV brodcasts rather than computer...

Yes -- there is a large factor of personal preference involved too. The large-ratio frame rate increases (made possible by DLSS3+) is an alternative motion-blur-reduction substitute to flickery BFI/strobe/ULMB/DyAc -- at least for casual gaming. If you use an OLED display, it's becoming...

Depends on your goal persistence. It's probably going to be a fantastic sweet spot for most users (e.g. average retro users) For moderate and slower scrolling at low resolutions like Super Mario, 2ms persistence is perfectly fine. But for ultrafast scrolling ala Sonic Hedgehog, you'll want a...
