I think the 2021 Samsung and LG TVs with mini LEDs are a much better option. I haven't seen an official announcement about smaller sizes though (50 inches and less). I've been pleasantly surprised by how much I like using a 49" model (LG Nano85 w/ HDMI 2.1 input for 120Hz VRR support + HDR)...

I really don't think the technology makes sense for computer monitors and an approach like mini LEDs (or micro LEDs) is going to be the compromise that gives computer users a reasonably priced option that will last more than 2-3 years. Just the idea that the way OLED monitors "fix" themselves...

Yes, it supports GSync (nVidia specifically mentioned that the LG NANO85 series is GSync compatible on one of its web pages, as I recall). I've verified it using a couple of games (including Cyberpunk 2077, which is amazing in 4K at 120Hz).

I've been using this for work and gaming (two PCs) for over a month now and I still love it. No, it's no an OLED. But an OLED would get burned-in pixels after about one week with the type of work I do, I'm guessing. This thing will probably last at least 5 years (based on past experience with...

There are 40+ 3090s in stock at various Central Computer stores right now in the SF Bay Area. The bad news is you have to go to the store to get one. They also have more than 40 Dark Hero motherboards in stock.

I picked one up today. Man, what a huge improvement over my old 24" 1920x1080 monitors! Yeah, it's only an IPS, but my screen is full of text on white backgrounds that would probably burn-in in a couple of days on an OLED (I have zero interest in converting my desktop to a pitch black working...

Thanks Kassaka, that information is helpful. I spend my day programming too (PC and console video games) and appreciate tall displays (2 of my 1920x1080 monitors are oriented vertically), so getting 2160 vertical vs 1920 seems like a good thing, and it also means the ultra wide monitors aren't...

Sorry, I got tired of reading about how easy it is to mitigate burn-in after about 20 pages of the 150-page CX thread. I use my monitor for 8+ hours a day for work these days, much of which consists of looking at windows in fixed positions full of text (with the occasional game window that is...

Here’s a video review of someone using it with an RTX 3080. Not much discussion of using it as a monitor for Windows though.

I’ve come very close to pulling the trigger on a CX purchase, but the downsides always stop me: this monitor is for a computer I use all day for work (and all PC gaming, usually outside work hours), so I really think burn-in is going to be an issue due to certain windows and icons being visible...

That same guy has a video comparing an LG NANOCELL to an LG OLED that goes over the pluses and minuses of both (and, yes, there are a few minuses to OLED). Anyway, I’ve got 3 LG OLED TVs (various generations) so you don’t need to tell me about their merits. The problem is that I don’t want to...

So every non-OLED monitor is terrible for gaming? Don’t tell the computer monitor manufacturers about that! How about after 3 months when the OLED that costs 3x as much is suffering from burn-in because you used it for something other than gaming one day? As far as gaming is concerned the LG...

Yeah, I’m sure it’s not as nice as an OLED, but it has no burn-in issues and it is 1/3 the price of the 48CX.

Has anybody tried the 49” LG NANO85 as a monitor? It has HDMI 2.1 for 4K@120Hz, an IPS panel (like most computer monitors) with no burn-in problem, and it’s only $499 at Best Buy.
