Been waiting for your input on this OLED monitor.

With a lot of people now working from home, it's actually really useful having a USB-C connector on the monitor with support for DP alt mode, PD with enough juice to power a laptop and preferably also USB hub functionality, so that you can just plug in your work laptop with a single cable and easily switch between your home/gaming system and the work laptop. Automatic input switching is also nice to have (looking at you LG). Not saying all monitors should have this, but it would be really nice to see more monitors with both gaming and productivity features.

Still worried about Burn in ...even if it happens after5 years. I still have ten year old monitors...Making all monitors OLED however would be a good way for the manufacturers to introduce planned obsolescence...which scares the hell out of me

If anything, it gives you a reason to go out and get the shiny new OLED, when your old trashy tv/monitor should be thrown out anyway. The picture quality it too good to ignore. If you really have burn in problems, just get another one. They are cheap right now

Hey Tim, thanks for answering my question! I play a lot of from software titles, so unfortunately 60Hz performance will always be critical to me!

Only reason I can think of to cap refresh rate to below what your monitor is fully capable of (taking into consideration it's full capabilities like you mentioned) is for consistency from the GPU. If the 5% lows are too low, that hitching can be incredibly distracting and annoying, so just capping the refresh rate to what your GPU can handle with the game can keep such bad performance from being so jarring. I'm thinking about Callisto Protocol, very recent game runs like garbage on many PC set ups.

I went to a GP950 from 1440p 240hz and don’t regret it, 4k 160hz feels almost as smooth and in lots of multiplayer games the extra clarity does help.

Great monitor guide. I bought my 1440p monitor about 7 years ago for £650, still using it today, but my next buy will be a 4K model.

19:15 Pretty sure the answer here is getting 4k, 1000Hz + pixel response time to match that with full HDR capability in a ~24-32in monitor is pretty much the goal. We might see a resolution upgrade to be slightly beyond 4k (2880p maybe) but I doubt anyone is going to care about 8k in the monitor/desktop/laptop space.

For the questions about where the monitors will go in the future - I completely agree that all of the areas that you mentioned have a massive room for improvement. However, none of the things are easily marketable like "4k" or "240 Hz". Do you expect the industry at large to move towards more strict certifications and standards in order to differentiate their newer and improved products? For example, in 5 years your average buyer will see two monitors with "4k 240Hz HDR10" on the box and think they are exactly the same.

Hdr already has the displayvesa certification so there already is a range of "hdr10" monitors ranging from we are hdr10 in the sense that it accepts the signal but does nothing to effectively display it to displayhdr1500 monitors that can beautifully blind you when you look at the sun in game with WCG, 1000+ zones, and a stupid high contrast ratio.

Thanks for taking up my question-glad to hear your thoughts on it! I do agree that USB-C cables can be quite convoluted given the amount of variation of capabilities a cable can have without any obvious indication of those capabilities; I wish there were more specific indications on the cables for the capabilities they were rated for. Would be nice as cables usually just get bundled up and put away in a similar location without labeling while also tossing away the original packaging, in my case at least. My question was formed from seeing the AMD reference models for the RX 6000 series having a USB-C display out. It was also formed while thinking about surpassing the need for a hub/dock for devices like tablets, phones, handhelds, and thin laptops that only have USB-C ports since most of them are relying on USB-C to output a display signal but monitors usually don’t natively support USB-C for display in. Having this feature on monitors would drop the need for a hub/dock and be more simple with only one cable if you’re only looking to get a display out from the device. Anyway, glad to hear your thoughts on this question and on the many other questions you answered in this Q&A session. Will definitely like to see more of these in the future!

jumping straight in without the music is a good idea imo

I am fine with MiniLED, they can keep improving quanity of dimming zones, but it's already pretty good with the Neo G8. Until they get better text clarity, and don't use dimming protocols to protect burn in, OLED/ QLED is not fully viable for 24/7 PC monitor. Also none can do 240hz 4k yet either.

ICC profiles tend to introduce color banding even on properly dithered color gradients (I think it's because the ICC profiles don't change the response curve of the display, but simply changes the color signal to trick the display into outputting more accurate colors).

Just pulled the trigger an a cheap Samsung U28R554UQR (28", 4K, IPS, 60Hz), it was on sale for €200 (incl. VAT & shipping). As I am not really gaming, I deem that thing enough for my needs.

I was totally blown away when I unpacked it and set it up for the first time to check for defects. Forgot to mention: It will be fed mostly by Intel IGP or AMD APU, low tier dGPU at most.

When will you cover portable oled monitors?

I've been holding out on getting an OLED because of the prices being north of a thousand, thinking I could never get one that fits my budget, but I recently got an LG C2 at a discount for 900. Now I can't go back even if I have to get another one for more than that. I hadn't realised how much I disliked having a backlight until I experienced those perfectly dark blacks, infinite contrast, and extremely wide viewing angles that come with OLED.

As long as the OLEDS have horrendous burn-in issues(which they objectively do) + insane brightness and color degradation in less than a year with normal use, LCD's will be relevant for quite a long time. There's a reason samsung abandoned OLED tech, sold it to LG and now use some of LG's(old samsung tech) OLEDS just to keep with the hype train. As someone who has tested over 100 gaming monitors in the last 5 years, as of this point in time MiniLED/FALD monitors are HIGHLY superior to OLEDS(not in contrast but in longevity and they are close enough in contrast and color quality).

Great video! What if I need a monitor for both professional work (sRGB) color accuracy and for gaming? Do I run the AW2423DW next to a color accurate monitor? I can only have one work station.

What i really want is a cheap 4k 144hz monitor with good HDR that won't take away from my GPU budget. I know that i can't afford a GPU that would allow me to game at 4K. Best i can get is most likely going to be a mid range AMD card from their next gen release when ever they plan to release them. The thing is that i use my PC for all my media consumption though. I don't own a TV. So watch Movies, TV, KZread etc on my monitor. Since most content is moving to 4K, it would make sense to move to 4K as well. At the same time though. I don't wanna pay $1000 to get decent HDR performance and would most likely have to turn the games down to 1440p on the monitor anyway to get decent frame rates with the GPU that i plan on getting in the future.

I went from a 27" 144Hz TN (very good for a TN panel to be fair - Dell S2716DG) to a 32" 1440p 170Hz IPS (Acer XB323U GP) about 18 months ago, and more recently I switched to another 32" 1440p 240HZ IPS (Gigabyte FI32Q-X) due to the Acer unit having terrible scan line issues. I thought the extra screen real estate would be enough (or significantly better) for having multiple windows open when creating content/learning new skills and doing work, however, I now wish I had upped to at least an ultrawide screen in size/resolution, though, of course, the graphics horsepower required is more significant, especially in scenarios where FSR or DLSS are not available. Having to Minimise a window while watching something in order to make an adjustment say when learning something new, e.g. when using some design software, becomes tiresome very fast. That is where another 32" screen or ultrawide/4K monitor would be ideal. As for the picture/gaming quality when currently using a 32" 1440p screen, however, I find that to be very good.

Are you telling me that in all those years, there hasn't been more refining to prevent possible burn in?

Tims been lackin, get that stache growing!

Personally I even bought the fancy PG27UQ, the first Nvidia G Sync Ultimate display, for the ridiculous $1,200 it was on sale. It even came with the factory calibration paper and everything, and I immediately went into the settings, turned on the wide color gamut, HDR brightness in SDR content, and punched up the contrast. I personally think color calibration looks ugly and drab. There's a reason people always bought the Samsung over LG displays at the store. Yeah LG is more color accurate, but Samsung's vivid mode just looks so much better. Plus personally I actually prefer the SDR with HDR brightness over true HDR. It means I can have the dynamic range with colors how I want them. That's what I wanted in the first place. Only thing you lose is the rare times games actually support 10 bit color. Otherwise I've honestly noticed that the fake HDR looks more accurate to what it should than real HDR. An example being Final Fantasy 7 Remake the menus are all grey in HDR which they shouldn't be. Every Final Fantasy game shares the exact same deep blue menus and turning HDR off fixes it yet I don't lose the contrast. Some games like Forza Horizon 4 honestly looked more crushed with HDR on with the entire image dimming making the whole image just look bland.

Regarding the "where will monitors go in the future?" discussion I think a really obvious direction is improving the housing and form factor. Maybe in 5 years we'll get desktop monitors which have no bezels and are as thin as laptop lids. Monitors are still clunky plastic monstrosities and there's tons of room for improvement.

Imagine just a thin panel with no bulk 😮

As someone that runs three 1440p Monitors, one bought [2021-07-07] ASUS ROG Swift PG329Q 32” Fast IPS, 1440p @ 175 Hz OC, VRR: 50-175Hz FreeSync+G-Sync Compatible The others two bought [2013-04-03] Dell U2711 A12 - 27” IPS, 1440p @ 60Hz, even for a main video gaming monitor, I'm extremely wary of OLED because of burn in, and £1000+ cost In Black Friday sales, I passed standby power negated at purchase by a master plug extension switching off all with my PC + Cooler Master Tempest GP27Q not sold in EU yet, if ever? Standby was a factor for 2011 Samsung TV, went with LG G2 55'' 4K, 40% off £1,400, over LG C2 55" 17% off £1,080, so I will see how good OLED is that way before deciding on a monitor.

I bought rog 27in 2k 270hz monitor during black friday. I just want a smooth game experience. Maybe I will get another 32in 4k monitor in the future for static content and productivity.

Hope you guys get the LG 240hz oled before it comes out because I'm going to preorder

What's a low cost monitor calibration hardware that for a use case where I want to calibrate like maybe twice a year?

"Difference between each frame" isn't a good way to explain sample and hold blur. It's all about the frame/pixel visibility time in milliseconds, that's exactly what mprt is. on sample and hold mprt = frametime in ms blur reduction tech like backlight strobing or bfi is reducing frame visibility time without having to increase framerate+refreshrate.

DWF is $900 on Amazon right now.

Great content…HDR is years old thing and yet still important Yeah…buy nice or buy twice 😂

where do i buy hardware unboxed gear? like mouse pads, having a hard time finding the store

Are the handlebars coming back?

i wans't knowing the refresh compliance stuff, how to know the value i can't find it on my monitors

Steve, I'd love to hear more about your background (education, work experience, personal life - family, married, etc.). It sure seems like you know a lot about monitor technologies - I'm just wondering who you are and where you come from. Thanks!

The calibration discussion always feels so weird to me. I have a Omen 25 which completely messes up colours when switched to its FreeSync mode, which feels irreversible thru calibration, yet I've never seen any mention of that and I feel like ICC profiles won't fix general colour reproduction across the board anyways.

Hey, just wanted to ask your recommendation for this build. Rtx 4090, i913k, 32 corsair dominator, 2tb m2 black sn850x. Asus prime z790 a mobo. Looking for a good 4k monitor less than around 800 or 900. Has to be flat and 32 or 27 inc

I've been using an ASUS PG35VQ for the past 2.5 years, recently ASUS & LG announced OLED 240hz monitors and I've been thinking switching back to 16:9 because I mainly play competitive games like CS:GO and Valorant. Do you think I would be dissapointed by the HDR experience on OLED coming from an HDR 1000 monitor?

Got a 42 oled Unfortunately that means unless it’s about high refresh for under maybe 600 dollars, I’m probably going to watch, to see what could be an alternate monitor, I was planning on this being my tv within 5 years but ultimately, it’s my primary screen I’ll replace it when something better comes along at a similar price

Actually my 600 dollars comment really applies to if regress from 4K to something lower I don’t expect 4K oled to be cheaper in the next couple of years, but yes I’m the next 5 I will expect this to be out classed, Samsung already did it it seems But I still got this because, oled legooooo

I have Gigabyte 2k monitor (G27Q) and the sRGB out of the box is gray and braun , how can i change the sRGB settings. ??

I’m torn between what to get for a monitor. After watching this video I sorta fit both categories. I play single player games and competitive fps games a lot, and I spend a lot of time watching movies/tv on it as well. Should I get 1440p 240hz or 4K 144hz?

Hey, could you please talk about gaming monitors and eye strain. No one talks about it. Could you maybe make a list of gaming monitors that are easy on the eyes? Would really be appreciated.
