This is exactly the issue with OLEDs. They are ahead of anything a LCD could ever dream of in terms of picture, response times, latency and pretty much anything. But to make up for all its upsides that would otherwise make it the king of display technologies, they have major issues with burn in. The only technology that can combine OLEDs performance with LCDs longevity is µLED, however that is still decades away from being mass market.

If you have money to burn and you don't mind buying a new display every couple years, then yeah, go for it. But my main LED LCD display is 11 years old this year and still looks the same as the day I bought it.

this probably was filmed before, but uploaded after. But if you're any level of tech enthusiast, you already knew OLED had issues long before LTT even touched it. same reason I never bought in to plasma personally. even though my LCD (Toshiba UX600 i think is the model #) had a fairly rudimentary first generation local dimming, it didn't suffer from burn in and I was happy with that. Now I have a 4k LCD with a beautiful picture, even if the blacks aren't inky. I've always felt that was a little overblown tbh. Also on PC switching to an IPS panel was the greatest ever, where I can directly see the difference to my TN panel next to it as my second monitor.

To be fair, he said, "OLED for desktop use is probably not a good idea." Repeatedly he's said that OLED is great for non-static images, like watching movies or playing games, as long as you aren't playing the same game for hours and hours on end to burn the UI into the screen.

I usually don't mind, even when the entire premise of the video is based around some sponsorship or another. I don't know if it was just the amount of ad content or if it was because it involved breaking up the video to talk about the various virtues of the monitor that were just barely tangentially related to the main topic (playing retro games), but this just seemed like a bit much to me. My opinion only though. If a video like this every now and then is what allows you to do the cool stuff you do, then more power to you, but I just felt the brand integration could have been handled a bit better.

Wasn't the OLED Video a few days ago more about the office use, because of burn in? Light pixel areas in gaming vary from game to game, so unless you play games like forza 24/7, where you have a steady tachometer on screen it shouldn't really matter too much in gaming. I still get your point, but if you use the screen more or less exclusively for gaming, you shouldn't really get the burn in issues, which was the main problem in the other video.

@yanbar3433

Actually to add to that: With static UI Elements like Crosshairs, and Tachometers, the Pixelshift Feature on those displays should also work better, because when you shift a big white Chrome or word window by a few pixels every so often most of the pixels still ar light and only the borders see the benefits. When you shift the smaller UI Elements, more of the light pixels should be "destressed" more often.

It's like all the people that bring up that video didn't even watch it. OLED displays are not a great choice for professional/work use where day in and day out you'll have the exact same windows up in the exact same places. But for gaming and general content consumption OLED displays are the best, bar-none. There is potential risk if you play one game and only one game for 1000 of hours, but for most people's mixed content consumption, they work phenomenally well.

I still have my original Tie Fighter beige box. So many memories.

"they were designed for a 27...maybe 32 inch screen" no, they were designed for 14-21 inch screens. in the 90's a 30 inch CRT was the equivalent of an 80 or 90 inch TV today. 14" CRTs have been replaced by 30" LCDs, 20" CRTS replaced by 40-55" LCD, and 30" CRT by 75-90" hell, you even have an equivalent between trinitron CRTs and OLEDs. if you had a 32" trinitron CRT, you were on some king shit with the 90's equivalent of an 80 inch HDR 1000 OLED.

@Arkanrais: true. Mitsubishi MegaView Pros went up to 42" (40" viewable) and were considered "presentation" monitors. MSRP for the 42" one was something like $13,000. Still, maybe more useful than a projector of the era? They could also sync to PAL, SEACAM, NTSC, VGA, other random RGBHV signals and had resolution not too far off from 1080p, long before 1080p was an ATSC standard. Albeit, those are rarer to find than Sony PVMs, which tend to be prized, even now, among gamers.

I feel that I'm watching two separate videos at the same time. The LG OLED thing has almost nothing to do with the part on why PC gaming is awesome. Also, sorry to say, but you really butchered the look of Final Fantasy Tactics. That game's pixel art is top-notch, and looks smeary and horrible with the filter you applied. Also, out of all the things you could do with an emulator to alter the look of a PSOne game, why didn't you apply perspective correction? That's the one thing that is an objective enhancement over playing on original hardware.

Now if only it was easy to fix the memory leak issues in Dragon Age: Origin, then I could mod the game without wanting to smash my pc.

I mean come on let's have some nuance here - there's a pretty stark contrast between the circumstances. Using an OLED TV for enjoying a variety games (retro or otherwise) as part of a home entertainment system entails, at least for the overwhelming majority of consumers, a very distinct set of operating conditions and wear patterns from using an OLED monitor for day to day productivity. The video on burn-in was in the context of a year of full work-days displaying the same windows in the same configuration. Again I think it's fair to say that people putting this in their home on their wall for casual after-work gaming will probably be playing a variety of games and doing so in short intervals (relative to a work day), or watching other content. Unless you ONLY play one game and play it day-in day-out, the pixel lifespan of this display is probably longer than the technology will be relevant.

I love what you guys consider Old School. I just got Thief II running on my laptop

I love linus's retro pc/game stories so much, we need more! He must have upgraded to a P5-166Mhz right when it came out in early 1996, or he miss-remembered and had a much older setup actually from 1994, P5-75, 90, or 100 that was nearly 30 years ago so I don't blame him for some tiny details being slightly off, and technology was moving soooo fast

This was one huge commercial.

"local dimming adds processing delay" sounds like OLED marketing BS to me. We're talking about taking the brightness of a pixel group (so R+G+B for each pixel, literally 2xn arithmetic sums of 8bit integers, then take the mean for the group, which is just addition then division), then transforming that into a backlight brightness output by multiplying by some factor. Then just do that a few hundred or thousand more times for each local dimming zone. Back of the napkin math for 1000 dimming zones on a 1440p display says we're talking ~10^7 simple operations per frame (if my 5am sleep deprived maths is correct), which last I checked is trivial for a modern programmable CPU (with clock frequency alone measured in GHz ie 10^9 or over 100x greater, not to mention actual operations per clock), to say nothing of the purpose-built chip on your TV motherboard. This is a cool video but I've gotta say I'm not really a fan of the more marketing spiel style seen here and in the sprinkling of other videos like it.

2 жыл бұрын

While you're mostly onto something, soc's in displays are cost-driven not performance-driven, and during operation they're probably already using close to, if not already over 100% of processor time doing the stuff it usually does to process, post-process and then display the pic WITHOUT adding additional processing for local dimming, along with additional IO and function calls to do that, it's expensive on those processors in terms of overhead, because there's usually literally none left already. So yes I'm sure there's a few ms if not more saved by disabling local diming. edit: i felt your last sentence more than I wish i do...
