Which is all well and great if you can keep your head within the fraction of a degree that the panel appears to be uniform...some TN panels have higher contrast ratio than this expensive unit.

If they could get the color fixed and the black smearing down to more or less unnoticeable, I'd be alright. As it stands, I'd prefer IPS simply because they're actually calibratable and VA mostly isn't.after going back to VA from IPS i cant ever go back to RGB blacks and yellow whites on IPS panels.
This monitor is definitely about SDR. I haven't checked the HDR performance, but one thing for sure, in comparison with the OLED HDR performance - it should be nominal. Spec say brightness goes as high as 700 nits though, which corresponds to VESA HDR600 certificate, rather than HDR400...Perfect IPS is way off till hdr 1000 is included. Still cant have it all yet. Do mean yet. I think were still a few years off still.

Local dimming is broken anyway, it's good that this monitor doesn't have it.Just because it gets bright does not mean it performs well. While OLED does not get as bright as some Samsung VA monitors and TVs do, because it has per pixel level local dimming it will still perform better overall. With no local dimming to speak of on the X38 afaik, it just won't do much in HDR.
I wish they would not try to peddle HDR support if the display is incapable of even the basic level of local dimming found on a cheap 4K TV. A display this expensive should come with at least a basic 16 zone backlight.
Problem is you cant have SDR and HD both high end. At this stage should be able to get both. Problem is technology hasnt evolved where we can have both. Only thing is greed of panel makers. No real interest in dominating to have gravy train keep going. I want both with good text and HD visuals and good SDR and why cant panel manufactures deliver. Same story when comes to Intel Cpus. Greed.
Really just want SDR to still look good with HDR enabled, and for HDR to be processed properly and displayed properly within the limitations of a given display.Problem is you cant have SDR and HD both high end.

Are those Canadian Pesos? Aussie Yen?just $2460.
US Dollars. MSRP for the Acer Predator X38 is $2400.Are those Canadian Pesos? Aussie Yen?
I have no idea. It will be the day when I upgrade my perfect X38...I have to wonder when LG is just going to say 'eff it' to higher-end LCD tech and just cut some OLED panels in half!
Why on Earth are you spending an extra $600 for an identical display to the LG? Literally the only difference is panel shroud/housing/stand and on-screen display firmware.
Perfect factory calibration, can adjust the RGB values, and no vignetting or backlight bleed. That costs money. Not only in Russia.Why on Earth are you spending an extra $600 for an identical display to the LG? Literally the only difference is panel shroud/housing/stand and on-screen display firmware.
And see the uneven hues from center to sides...be aware that can be quite distracting coming from a good IPS panel, all the other strengths of the panel aside.lol. I haven't checked yet.
Oh yes, I know that. I've been using the 55" OLED for the past 3 years as a PC monitor. One of the reasons why I wanted a nice IPS instead. Got tired of this 60hz wall. 48" is still massive, btw, and I never been fan of 16:9 aspect ratio for PC monitors, honestly. This 37.5" IPS panel by LG has a perfect size, very good aspect ratio.And see the uneven hues from center to sides...be aware that can be quite distracting coming from a good IPS panel, all the other strengths of the panel aside.
I once returned 12 monitors to Microcenter in a month...back in the good old days when I lived down in OC...surprised they didn't ban me since most of them were $1k samsung S27B971Ds ...now I need to decide whether I can live with Oled color shift on my 48 cx or keep my 3818dw before someone picks it up over the weekend lol.OP, I'm glad people like you exist because you make me look less of a nitpicker.
I used to always buy multiples of the same panel, and only keep the best of the lot. Now it's just too much money to tie up in the quest for the perfect IPS. It seems we are kindred spirits in that quest.
You're still a bit insane though.

If you don't know by now, each manufacturer has their own electronics and modules inside to drive the panel, aswell as their own input ports. All this can effect things like the OP has already mentioned, the backlight bleed, vignetting, uniformity, color accuracy, response and a host of other things I am sure.
