    That's nearly two years of on time for the display. I think I checked mine after 3 years and it was like half of that. I would just turn the TV off from the remote when taking a longer break so it would run its compensation cycles if needed. I'd...

    That might be the best way to go about it. It will be more blurry of course but should give you some idea.

    Unless you are using the 57" purely as a gaming monitor, I'd hate to lose that much pixel density. It's the same height as the 57" but much lower res. Remember that DLSS is also dependent on your native res, so DLSS Quality at 4K (or its...

    Yeah a lot of nonsense especially in phones. I currently use a Samsung Galaxy Fold 4, and it's a really chunky phone when folded, but it feels fine to hold in your hand because it's quite narrow physically, no wider than an iPhone 12 Mini, just...

    Probably because it's cheaper to make and ship because it takes less space and weighs less. We have this insane trend of displays, phones and laptops being very thin for no good reason. If you look at reference monitors, they are thick bastards...

    To me it's just headroom. I'm currently playing Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and on my 4090 that runs at 4K 120 fps with Nvidia DLAA. I could probably push it quite a bit further with DLSS and FG but what's the point if your display can't show...

    IMO people were complaining way more about the QD-OLED pixel structure issues than anything on the WOLED TVs. At a more appropriate viewing distance of 1+ m scaling becomes even more important.

    Totally agree with that. It's a real shame because those OLED TVs are pretty decent as monitors and the text quality on the WOLEDs is IMO not a problem as long as you use a bit of scaling. I can't understand why LG would remove that option other...

    I think a lot of people just want one display to do it all. I got the LG CX when it came out because it seemed like the best compromise at the time. I used the 48" CX for two years as my desktop monitor working from home, then moved and decided...

    I have one of these and when I compared it to my LG CX 48" OLED TV with the same HDR video content. For darker scenes the Mac's screen performed well. It had a bit higher black levels but overall it wasn't possible to see e.g blooming. For bright...

    I expect that Samsung actually develops their own controllers and the other companies use something existing on the market which can't handle the display at above 120 Hz. The panel may be a slightly lower grade one though. I honestly wish there...

    Meanwhile I did all the mitigations you mention and my LG CX 48" is still going strong without a single issue after 3.5 years. I only stopped using it as a desktop display because of its size. I went back to dual 28" 4K 144 Hz LCDs for work, and...

    You could just keep running games in 3840x2160, or add a custom resolution for 5120x2160. Since most games support FSR these days you could use that, even if it has a pile of issues but it might still be a better option than dropping the resolution.

    kasakka replied to the thread Where are the 8K Monitors?.
    Or on the flip side, it ends up being something almost no company implements just like a lot of features. We still barely have any physics based simulations in most games, it's messed up that the most advanced physics based gameplay is in Tears...

    I feel like every manufacturer is the same. Release a product in a kinda crappy state that is good enough that most users won't notice, then release fixes for maybe a span of a year until the cycle repeats with the next gen product being better...

    I'd buy one instantly if I could get it at that price. If Samsung can make money on these at those prices, then there's clearly a lot of air baked into their regular prices. Here in Finland the lowest so far has been 2099 € and my workplace's...

    I think you are giving them way too much credit. I say it's incompetence, or management not giving display developers enough time to get things right, or to fix anything but major issues later on. TizenOS is a huge pile of crap. Years ago when I...

    kasakka replied to the thread Where are the 8K Monitors?.
    It's been done years ago. Zisworks made a custom scaler hardware for a few 4K @ 60 Hz TVs, that actually had 4K @ 120 Hz capable LCD panels. The custom hardware allowed 4K @ 120 Hz, 1080p @ 240Hz, 720p @ 300Hz, and 540p @ 480Hz. I don't think the...

    The performance expectation for "great" has also become a helluva lot more demanding. We used to be happy when our LCDs could do 5ms response times, now everything is put against OLED response times so basically no LCD is "great". HDR has just...

    That would be the LG Flex. Last month I saw one in a store in Japan and it looked pretty great. Would like them to make an updated version that isn't just a "curvable C2 at 2-3x the price".
