That's been the overall problem with FALD though. Not so bad in TVs, but on the monitor side. I wouldn't mind if I had my pick of OLED vs FALD monitors in the 1000-1500 euro range, but it gets hard to justify that a FALD is worth 3000+ euros.

I'm knocking on wood because so far I've avoided the dead pixels completely, along with burn-in. Still hoping it lasts until something in the 50-55" size comes out that is an actual improvement. Brighter HDR, higher refresh rate would do it for me, but since I actually use it as a TV, I don't...

My take on the whole glossy vs matte is that I don't care as long as matte coating is not the awfully grainy type seen on some displays. I don't mind the one on my dual Samsung G70A 4K 28" IPS displays. All the other stuff are going to be more issues, but going back to 60 Hz is a tough one. If...

Absolutely. 8K would be better off marketed and designed for e.g programmers, stock traders, people managing a ton of different Excels and so on who need a lot of desktop space for work, and would probably pay for the right product, say a 55-65" Samsung ARK 8K. Instead they push it for "rich...

Scaled Resolution Editor is the best option for anything that uses DSC.

I would expect the 5000 series to silently upgrade the HDMI capabilities to match the 7900 XTX, maybe with a full speed DP 2.1 port unless Nvidia decides to nickel and dime us again. I expect the answer to the second question is no. Samsung is unlikely to have the incentive to support above 8K...

Seems like a typical bullshit review with nothing but subjective opinions almost parroting marketing material.

Yeah I'd probably just try running the pixel refresher manually and hopefully it will get rid of current burn-in instead of waiting for it to have lingered there for longer. Extra 1000h is quite a bit of time after all.

I'd go with #3. We might get 45" 5120x2160 OLEDs in early to mid 2025, so that would solve the PPI issue at least.

I think that mainly says something about how good the CX series was and how disappointing the updates to these have been in the past few years.

That's nearly two years of on time for the display. I think I checked mine after 3 years and it was like half of that. I would just turn the TV off from the remote when taking a longer break so it would run its compensation cycles if needed. I'd need to check where mine is set for SDR OLED...

That might be the best way to go about it. It will be more blurry of course but should give you some idea.

Unless you are using the 57" purely as a gaming monitor, I'd hate to lose that much pixel density. It's the same height as the 57" but much lower res. Remember that DLSS is also dependent on your native res, so DLSS Quality at 4K (or its ultrawide variants) is higher base res than DLSS Quality...

Yeah a lot of nonsense especially in phones. I currently use a Samsung Galaxy Fold 4, and it's a really chunky phone when folded, but it feels fine to hold in your hand because it's quite narrow physically, no wider than an iPhone 12 Mini, just much taller. Phones have gone to complete nonsense...

Probably because it's cheaper to make and ship because it takes less space and weighs less. We have this insane trend of displays, phones and laptops being very thin for no good reason. If you look at reference monitors, they are thick bastards with fans etc. Give me that but in a consumer...

To me it's just headroom. I'm currently playing Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and on my 4090 that runs at 4K 120 fps with Nvidia DLAA. I could probably push it quite a bit further with DLSS and FG but what's the point if your display can't show those frames? To be fair for anything but the most...

IMO people were complaining way more about the QD-OLED pixel structure issues than anything on the WOLED TVs. At a more appropriate viewing distance of 1+ m scaling becomes even more important.

Totally agree with that. It's a real shame because those OLED TVs are pretty decent as monitors and the text quality on the WOLEDs is IMO not a problem as long as you use a bit of scaling. I can't understand why LG would remove that option other than to try to push people to buy OLED monitors...

I think a lot of people just want one display to do it all. I got the LG CX when it came out because it seemed like the best compromise at the time. I used the 48" CX for two years as my desktop monitor working from home, then moved and decided it was a good size for a living room TV and sold...

I have one of these and when I compared it to my LG CX 48" OLED TV with the same HDR video content. For darker scenes the Mac's screen performed well. It had a bit higher black levels but overall it wasn't possible to see e.g blooming. For bright scenes it definitely looked better and was able...

I expect that Samsung actually develops their own controllers and the other companies use something existing on the market which can't handle the display at above 120 Hz. The panel may be a slightly lower grade one though. I honestly wish there was some real competition in the superultrawide...

Meanwhile I did all the mitigations you mention and my LG CX 48" is still going strong without a single issue after 3.5 years. I only stopped using it as a desktop display because of its size. I went back to dual 28" 4K 144 Hz LCDs for work, and game on the CX in my living room with my ITX size...

You could just keep running games in 3840x2160, or add a custom resolution for 5120x2160. Since most games support FSR these days you could use that, even if it has a pile of issues but it might still be a better option than dropping the resolution.

Or on the flip side, it ends up being something almost no company implements just like a lot of features. We still barely have any physics based simulations in most games, it's messed up that the most advanced physics based gameplay is in Tears of the Kingdom on the Nintendo Switch. AI has huge...

I feel like every manufacturer is the same. Release a product in a kinda crappy state that is good enough that most users won't notice, then release fixes for maybe a span of a year until the cycle repeats with the next gen product being better. Samsung tends to just have the added issues of...

I'd buy one instantly if I could get it at that price. If Samsung can make money on these at those prices, then there's clearly a lot of air baked into their regular prices. Here in Finland the lowest so far has been 2099 € and my workplace's Samsung store page doesn't even offer the 57" model...

I think you are giving them way too much credit. I say it's incompetence, or management not giving display developers enough time to get things right, or to fix anything but major issues later on. TizenOS is a huge pile of crap. Years ago when I had a Samsung TV it was so bad I started using a...

It's been done years ago. Zisworks made a custom scaler hardware for a few 4K @ 60 Hz TVs, that actually had 4K @ 120 Hz capable LCD panels. The custom hardware allowed 4K @ 120 Hz, 1080p @ 240Hz, 720p @ 300Hz, and 540p @ 480Hz. I don't think the panels actually were capable of keeping up with...

The performance expectation for "great" has also become a helluva lot more demanding. We used to be happy when our LCDs could do 5ms response times, now everything is put against OLED response times so basically no LCD is "great". HDR has just made it increasingly more demanding as "oh cool...

That would be the LG Flex. Last month I saw one in a store in Japan and it looked pretty great. Would like them to make an updated version that isn't just a "curvable C2 at 2-3x the price".

Your reasons are similar to why I'm still interested in the monitor, but I'll probably wait until Black Friday sales to see if the price drops low enough to be worth the hassle. Until then I'll stick to my dual 4K 144 Hz 28" monitors + LG CX 4K 120 Hz 48" OLED TV for gaming instead. I really...

I didn't know they made one without it! That's nice. While I agree that the OLED G9 is a far more practical device as a product, it also has some pure insanity involved like a micro-HDMI connector. Just make it a bit thicker in the back so it fits two standard HDMI ports, nobody uses micro-HDMI...

To me the big issue with it is the Samsung Tizen OS is a huge pile of crap. It's such an amateur hour UI design with all settings buried deep under various menus and it tends to be slow. Plus the OLED G9 apparently doesn't even have the 21:9 + 11:9 PbP split option. I fear when they make an...

I've seen some failures on the G9 series people have posted where it started having different brightness levels on the left vs right side of the display, as if split into two 16:9 panels. I don't think it's two Neo G8 (or the previous panel iterations) glued together but actually built as a...

Seems to match what I expected - good productivity monitor, at a price that doesn't really match the specs you get, just like the 60-75 Hz models have been overpriced for a "niche" form factor/res. I feel like we'll probably get something better next year already and Dell is banking on being...

I had the LG CX 48" mounted on a monitor arm on my desk for a while and ran into the issue I described, where I felt I had to always look at the edges of the display at an angle and that felt uncomfortable. This made me buy a floor stand and mount the TV behind my desk, which gave it enough...

Looking at these pics, it feels the lack of curvature is going to mean a lot of practicality gets lost. I hated that when using the LG CX 48" 4K, the far edges of the screen felt they were hard to use if the display was closer to me. Curvature solves that without increasing viewing distance...

How do you feel it compares to the AW otherwise, image quality, response times etc?

For me the curvature is a total non-issue for desktop use. While the CRG9 I had was only I think 1500R or something, I got used to it and then a regular flat monitor looked as it was convex until your brain adapts to it again. Trying the G9 and G95NC in store the extra curvature was fine to me...

It's not that, the issue is entirely with game FOV rendering. Sometime way in the past game engines settled on a FOV projection that was fast to run and probably easy to program. This was then just used all the way to today. There are many other projections that could work better for...
