The problem is the cost to scale down production to a smaller form factor, versus the amount of people who would purchase such a product. Let's face it, people want big TVs, but smaller PC Displays, so the space between 32" and 55" is a void where there isn't a lot of money to be made.
I agree there is a void and those wanting it something in this size category are a minority in the grand scheme of things. It just takes one good product that sells well though that can ignite manufacturer interest however. Let's hope that happens soon.
Well, then maybe we should ask for a 32” instead. That’s a size that most people can agree on.I doubt it. The problem is there isn't a large enough population of people willing to go larger then 32" to justify production. You see it from people here whenever using a TV comes up for discussion; "You don't need something that large sitting so close to you" and the like.
I know, don't I have anything better to do? Not really. What do you guys think. I know I would sign it in a heartbeat
and judging by all the threads on [H] I kinda feel a lot of other people would also. Not that it would make a difference,
or would it? View attachment 200013

Consoles are legit. So legit in fact, that I question why I still bother with PC gaming, especially considering that I prefer a controller to keyboard and mouse.High end PC gaming has been dying for a long time. No one cares anymore. It's all going phone/tablet/mobile trash.
These companies don't give a fuck. They just go where the money is.

We’ve heard this for years. Yet, PC gaming is dying so fast that Microsoft has introduced a new streaming service for PC games this last year and several companies have stood up their own independent game services in the last 2-3 years. And yet again all three console companies have future plans for next gen equipment.Even consoles are dying. They're next on the chopping block. It's all getting eaten up by mobile.
Dell already released a 55" Oled gaming monitor.
But at $6999 AU, and only HDR400 and only 120hz @, 4K they can dream on.

Cliff notes: PC gaming and console gaming aren't dying.
TV overlords are your only chance of saviour this time. I'll keep doing what I tried to do the last 5 years and wait, no Money for shitty compromise screens for your boring, glacial pace monitor industry.
I'm glad to see it happening and agreed - faster than expected. I think Xbox vrr played a big part of it which we overlooked.What we're witnessing is the convergence of the monitor and TV markets. We knew this would occur eventually, but weren't sure when. But it's happened fast over the last couple of years. Features like 4:4:4 chroma, low lag, high hertz, and expanded color gamut were always the domain of monitors (gaming, professional, or otherwise). TV manufacturers have broken down these barriers, and even the last remaining ones like G-Sync and FreeSync are falling. Size for size, we now see ultra high end monitors retailing for more than ultra high end TVs like LG's OLED.
These are pretty amazing times.
I don't know how anyone can justify paying more then $2k for a 32" monitor like the PG35VQ when I got my c9 65" for $1800. Sure it might not have some of the fancy feature but it pales in comparison when it comes to image quality.What we're witnessing is the convergence of the monitor and TV markets.

If OLED refresh rates can reach competitive levels, I'm all for it.
