Hey I own this monitor, you guys missed another OSD menu for OLED maintenance. It’s the middle button on the bottom of the remote. It has image cleaning and pixel cleaning modes that you can enter to maintain the life of the OLED pixels and prevent burn in. Also, every time you turn off your computer and have the monitor on, it knows to go automatically into image cleaning mode. Another thing I’m adding now, if you have the black stabilizer anywhere above 55, the screen will temporarily burn in after a few hours of gaming due to the blacks being greyish and not actually true black. If you run it through image cleaning after that it completely disappears and looks brand new again. Because of that i leave my black stabilizer at 55 on every mode.

Personally I turn all the OLED care features off. They're annoying cause they dim the screen *way* too much without actually doing much to preserve the screen. I've had my LG C1 for two years now and there are *zero* signs of burn-in, no matter what test patterns I use to check for it. It doesn't hurt to leave Pixel Cleaning on (since it only activates when the display is off), but every other setting is an unnecessary annoyance and should be disabled completely. Also, you're making up straight *lies* about the black stabilizer thing. I've used various black stabilizer settings in different games to help me spot enemies in the shadows better; still no signs of burn-in. If you're seriously having issues (and not just spreading misinformation to scare people away from OLED), then you need to make a warranty claim on your display, because using a normal function that is meant to be used should *not* cause burn-in.

I don't want anything on the face, and I'm often simply not going to be able to accommodate a specific edge. Case in point: my top monitor has to be upside down because of the thick bottom bezel and power button. That's not going to be a solution for accessing a side edge of a center monitor. It's a good(ish) thing my sideways side monitors are cheaper ones with side interfaces, else I'd have to choose between bottom bezels between monitors or longer cords sticking out the sides just to turn a sharp 180.

I've been looking for a new monitor for a while now but none of the 4k120hz displays - including LG's versions - support Displayport Deep Sleep properly even if the option is in the OSD. All of them cause the system to behave as if the monitor has been unplugged and thus move all the windows off it onto other still-visible monitors, which is a big pain. LG apparently semi-recently released a firmware update to fix this behavior, but it didn't solve it on the 27GN950-B, with it still completely disconnecting when turned off. Does it work correctly on this display?

they should make a pocket for the remote at the back of the screen so you could stash it there and take it out whenever needed and use it comfortably and then put it back there, so it never gets displaced that way and it's easier than using the button thing

I just checked both of my LG monitors (LG 32GK850F-B and LG 35WN65C-B.AUS) and both have Power On time in the menus. Pretty neat.

Hexagons are cool to me because they tesselate without producing a continuous seam, which from a structural perspective would present an axis of potential slippage. That’s probably too high falluting to leave without further explanation, so like a brick wall is a tessellation of bricks, they overlap up and down, but not side to side so they can slip sideways. You make a wall out of hexagons and they all lock each other in place. Triangles and squares readily tesselate but they have several axis along which they can slip. Which is why they can be made into rubric cubes. To me the primary appeal of Hexagons is how they lock together. So when I think of a hexagon on the back of a monitor, I see design potential for a mounting format that could interface with other modules. An array of monitors naturally comes to mind, but it could be anything, you could wall mount a hexagonal pc, an eGPU, power conditioner, speakers, acoustic panels, shelving, lighting, the whole wall could be a veritable hive of sweetass dopery, and I could be the Hyper Queeen! But I guess what they did here for some like cosmetic reasons is cool too. I like the big ball joint allot, I think if they beefed that up and chromed it out it would be really stylish. Or like a huge Orb with fish in it. But They’d have to be some really smart and really fast talking fish to relay all that data. And then you gotta fit electric eels in there too, and they’re ocean fish so you got all this seaside slang and dielectric dialects. So hear me out, Psychic Hexagonal Starfish, and then like a tidy little cable management strip. But before you fly off the rails with your irrationally psychotic discomfort for back panel covers, just think about how neat and tidy it will be to not have the orb stuffed with eels. Sure there will be a slight trip hazard because these will be mounted on the floor, but just think about it.

I think the move to OLED is amazing for sure but the price point is still too high to see a real movement begin. This same monitor at $750 would be a real push for more OLED movement, but at a grand it is still outside decent pricing. Also I would love to see this in a 32" model, could drop it down to 144hz or even 120hz and I would be happy.

@@Mysta_X Most decent gaming monitors are quite responsive even when they are IPS panels and LED backlit. The real issue is that 4K is just so much more demanding than 1440P to run. I have a 3080 gaming OC which is the largest and hottest graphics card I can fit in my current case and it is perfectly capable of playing very demanding games at high detail and maintaining a steady 60FPS at 4K but the difference between 60FPS and 120FPS is very noticeable when games require driving or shooting. If you are going with something like the 4090, then this won't be an issue on most 4K panels. I am using the ASUS ROG PG32UQX and it is plenty responsive for my needs. I just feel like it needs a lot more graphics card to fully utilize the display. Downgrading to this LG OLED panel would be a lot less expensive than upgrading my PC with a 40 series graphics card.

@@Mysta_X Especially when you have a large display, the extra resolution of 4K is very noticeable. I was just playing cyberpunk on my PC last night for the first time since upgrading to 4k and there are some details in the world, player, and texture, that I could not discern at lower resolutions. It's the type of thing I would never have known I was missing until I experienced playing the game at a higher res. If you can swing a 4080 or 4090, then 4K would be the way to go. I have not used an OLED gaming monitor but I have an LG 65C1 in my living room connected to my series X for couch gaming. The extra responsiveness of the OLED panel makes games feel like they are running at a higher FPS than they actually are.

Does it have USB-C? And does it have a gap between the image and backlight like regular LCD monitors? My old 27 inch monitor is gap free but almost every other monitor seems to have a 1mm gap. It creates a shadow on side scrollbars if you get too close. I want something like this but 4K. Or with mini leds so I don’t have to worry about the burn in.

Hey guy, going to do a new PC build after 7 years (the previous system was an i7 4790k/GTX 970 paired with a 1080p 42 inch TV). What should I be aiming for as a OLED monitor/TV? I prefer larger screens so I can lay on my bed and watch videos/film when not gaming/working on the computer. Is 27 inch 1440p 240 hertz right for me? Should I look at OLED 4K 144 hertz at a larger screen size? Perhaps 32 inch or larger? I think I'm going with a 7900x/RTX 4090 PC build (maybe 7900xtx).

I've had this monitor since early January and it's been a big regret of mine.

Also, the remote for my LG C1 48" turns on the monitor, so whenever I watch TV, my monitor turns on which terminates any active pixel cleaning. I've also used the QDOLED Alienware and not only did I have zero minutes spent troubleshooting it, but the HDR, brightness/colors are SIGNIFICANTLY superior. Man I should've kept the Alienware.

For higher-volume mid-range products that literally fly off the shelf, something like mycelium foam would do wonders but while it is sustainable, that's basically low-volume packaging for a high-volume item, _meanwhile_ other conventional environmentally-detrimental foams exist.

Just for price comparison, I bought the FO48U from amazon for $850 us before tax in December. The sale price fluctuates wildly on that monitor so keep an eye out if you are interested. It's a 48 inch, 4k, 120hz OLED. 48inch is probably too big, but IMO 27 is way too small so I'm sure there's some differing opinions. Point is there are some options, and 240hz is just plain overkill.

I remember the HP LP2275w when I had it. Only reason I remember it is because it's the only other monitor I ever used that had backlight hours listed.

"I wouldn't mind if they have a bit more column to make it more sturdy." Not a fan of the random pho-engineer comments that come to an unjustified conclusion. The device hasn't even been tested yet and he's making comments about design choices on how to improve it. But we're not even sure if its sufficient already; nor if this is a problem. This is a really destructive way Plouffe usually comments and reviews things - he has observations, and goes "well if it was 10 x thicker/bigger/better it could be better" without even testing if it ISN'T sufficient enough as is. It makes sufficient/high performing products look lacking when they're not. Poor commentary.

The 200cd/m² brightness is a very down argument for this monitor. To be honest, it is a deal-breaker to me. But I get that LG has to offer less in something to keep the price down, while also guarantee that not many monitors come back under warranty due to image retention. I also want the navigation joystick back! The long press is just... BAD!

I'll stretch it just a bit more. I want to see QD OLED show up in the 27-32 range, flat. The problem is, I want dual screens which means likely two OLEDs - else one would just look off. But the 2nd one doesn't need to be a high refresh rate gaming panel. And curved ultrawide is just not attractive (for work + higher demand on gaming) - and no shop has them out so I can't even try them.

Also maybe LTT should make some velcro tape so you can hold the remote to the back side of a monitor and not lose it.
