What is currently the best choice for a desktop monitor bros? OLED, QLED or is IPS still king?
When I say desktop monitor I mean the uses include
>working
>browsing
>gayming
>movies/series

>just get a tv homosexual
I have a tv but I only use it when I go to sleep for 15min until I doze off
Working and browsing IPS is better . Given the burn in rush I’d say just avoid OLED regardless.

I'm not sure but I think Q-LEDs don't have a burn in problem
>burn in
Burn in isn't really a thing with modern OLED panels. I have 13,953 hours on my LG 48" CX I use as my main monitor for work and gaming. No burn in. I take barely any precautions, too, I just use a dark theme for my OS which I would have anyway. If it gets burn in somehow, like you leaving it up with an ultra bright picture for 150 hours for some reason, you can just use the pixel refresher which actually works.
burn in isnt a thing on any panel, but pixel degradation is
oled's have a limited pixel life and the hours you put on it, the less luminance they can display in one of the 3/4 subpixels, leading to the appearance of "burn-in"
there is no mitigation for this and it's why oled's as monitor is a waste of money
LG states their panels have a lifetime of at least 30,000 hours before significant degradation.
I mean I'm sitting here having used and abused this thing for almost four years and it still looks good. Games look fantastic, no "burn in" or anything that looks like burn in on those big color block burn in tests. If this thing sparked and turned off tomorrow I'd be more than happy with my purchase and run out and get one the same day.
People have misconceptions about OLED tech from back in, like, 2011. They persist as a tech version of, essentially, fudd lore.
>LG states
No company ever lies ever, goyim
>b-but they can get sued for lying
Yeah and then pay a fine that's 0.00001% of the profits they made lying. OLED is goyslop and you're a moron for wasting money on it
I've had a HDMI 4.1 120hz OLED pc monitor for 4 years now, and most consumers are just getting them now. I'm probably one of the heaviest users of an OLED pc monitor anywhere. I'm not believing LG's marketspeak, I'm living with it on my desk.
You just seem like a bit of a sperg who can't let go of your preconceptions. Go ahead, spend $1000 on a 27" alienware IPS monitor, be my guest. It's probably curved, that's neat!
You don't even half a year and a half of run time on your monitor. You don't even have your screen on eight hours a day. Stop posting.
You are a complete idiot mate.
You don't even have a year and a half of use on your monitor.
LCDs start to wear out after a couple years too, I upgraded to a nice one after using a formerly nice one that had fricked up color and a line across it forever and was very upset to see about 4 years on now it's developed a couple small very light streaks in the upper right, intermittently, like right now neither one is there but I'm sure they'll eventually always be there and more will develop/they'll get worse. Electronics don't last forever unless it's something old enough you can basically rebuild completely

>>just get a tv homosexual
No one would say "just get a tv" when you are asking about a desktop monitor
CRT
Someone post it
Why do companies don't make CRTs anymore?
Ma’am ma’am delete this madam no! NO NO NO NO
Lost art. Nobody knows how to make anything good anymore.
>Lost art. Nobody knows how to make anything good anymore.
you wouldn't know a good thing even if it violently fricked you in the ass.
I don't think we even have the raw parts or equipment to make them let alone the skilled/knowledge makers of them
Succeeded by more modern technology in all but the most specific and niche of use cases.
There was going to be a tech called SED, with the same qualities of CRT but slim like LCD. It was killed by patent frickery.
people are more concerned with how the display looks when viewed from a 90 degree angle instead of how you're supposed to look at it
No demand, expensive to make, very expensive to ship, uses leaded glass, etc. There is nothing exotic about them and the patents are a matter of record. Many millions were made. If you believe there will be demand feel free to invest in the equipment, parts and material sourcing.
The hipster market might go for it.
3rd gen qd-oled. specifically, the msi mpg 321urx. the best, at the best price, no contest.
looks good
its impossible to find one right now though. hoping supply increases soon
No. Not the MSI one
Its way too cheap and already has issues like color messing up or terrible heatsink, the best three 3rd qd-oked monitors are the ones from Alienware, ASUS ROG, or Gigabyte Aorus
Me personally, i like gigabyte’s monitor since it has DisplayPort 2.1 though the Alienware has my eye because it kills like the PlayStation 5
Also the Samsung one hasn’t came out yet so its yet to be said what could be the best monitor with a 3rd gen qdoled
displayport 2.1 is a meme. completely useless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lfL8JRBXHk
>Alienware
curve? into the trash it goes
>though the Alienware has my eye because it kills like the PlayStation 5
what the frick does that even mean
>ASUS ROG
overpriced. only thing it has going for it over the msi is very slightly better color tuning out of box. it even lacks features compared to the msi like a kvm switch iirc
>woled
matte garbage
I’ll check that video out after i sleep
I don’t like the curve either but it looks similar in theme to the PlayStation, that’s why plus it has very good color accuracy out of the box
The ROG one, the stand is too big
Is matte that bad? Why does it get a bad rep?
destroys image quality. all the woled panels have a matte coating for some reason. some people buffer it off themselves because of how shit it is
the chances we see that in 5 years are low and i doubt any of these oleds will last that long
Well Pimax are releasing a 3800x3800 VR headset at Q4 this year. That cannot run on DP1.4
>displayport 2.1 is a meme.
It'll be used in hi-res VR and 8k 120hz when it becomes available.
As far as I can tell QLED, is just another scam name for LCD with a new type of backlight.
LG nano IPS panels are good. It's the same tech as QLED, just without the Samsung shit build quality.
nano ips has less contrast for whatever reason. qled has all the same advantages while maintaining a normal contrast ratio. Once they finally get the self-emitting quantum dots into consumer displays, everything else will be obsolete.
>qled has all the same advantages while maintaining a normal contrast ratio
QLED is a Samsung marketing gimmick. The correct term is "VA panel".
>Once they finally get the self-emitting quantum dots into consumer displays, everything else will be obsolete.
It's called QD-OLED.
>LG nano IPS panels are good
no they aren't. That's literally the cheap garbage they make.
Get a TN panel
my tn panel is dying after 5 years of abuse. might as well have went OLED with the free burn in protection and 3-5 year warranty
I just want the Eizo 1:1 monitor 🙁
I was looking for a secondary monitor and I find it strange that there's so little choice for monitor screen formats considering that for office use, 16:9 isn't exactly the best option in all cases.
I was looking for a more traditional 4:3 or similarly proportioned monitor but in my country there's no one fricking selling anything that isn't the standard. It's insane when you consider how useful different formats can be.
I ended up buying a portable 15.6-inch IPS monitor and I'm going to experiment with putting it vertically next to the main monitor, to see if I can get close to my idea of having a smaller screen for "support" while I work mainly on the larger screen.
If you do a lot of work on your PC, Mini-LED.
If you only really game and watch media, OLED.
>OLED

>VA

vrr flicker
>IPS

pick your poison
to add to this:
>VA
dogshit viewing angle
IPS is arguably the winner for strictly monitor use
non-issue if you use your screen as a monitor instead of a tv.
>vrr flicker
what is this
brightness flickering whenever the refreshrate fluctuates rapidly due to poor frame pacing. makes many games unplayable with VRR (adaptive sync) on.
Setting a FPS limit via RivaTuner eliminates this btw
no, it doesn't.
Yes it does you tard. Flickering is only a problem if the refresh rate is constantly changing. If your hardware can mantain a consistent frame rate, it's a non-issue.
>The only decent 4k mini led monitor on the market is from Samshart and curved
Thanks, I hate it.
just get a high refresh / slow response VA and save your money OP
>memewide
Frick that shit.
>VA
invest in rope
are real 4k (4096×2160) 120hz monitors yet? not uhd
whatever you want, for some reason people have strong opinions on this but I have a 160Hz IPS and 240Hz OLED and I can't tell them apart 98% or more of the time
oled, once it burns in microled will be out
OLED is king and nothing comes close. For peace of mind find someone that offers 2-3 warranty as standard, they all cover burn in now and then pay to upgrade that to 5 years. Usually I would never consider extended warranties but fear of burn in was the deal breaker for a long time and knowing I can get at least 5 years without worrying about burn in was the tipping point where I was happy to get a good modern monitor
If you're poor, IPS. Otherwise OLED
>OLED
Best for slop content, especially TV, movies, and cinematic video games
>IPS
Best for work and even for colour accuracy due to panel uniformity on pro models. Also going to be good for media that does not use high contrast or has a lot of static elements
Best thing you can do is simply have both an IPS monitor and OLED TV and use each to their strengths. VA is a meme
for me its this
nice
what's going on there
slowmo of crt projector.
anything with an lg woled panel
everything else can safely be ignored
ips if you're poor
qled is a cope meme
qd-oled has insane burn-in and flickering; it's yet more untested samsung catch-up tech and is absolutely not for monitors
the thing about woled panels is that they've been refined for over a decade along with the software controlling them (the most important part), don't bother getting anything else
I agree with woled
That panel tech has over a decade of development now
W-OLED flagship monitor for consumer, for lcd a reference monitor
I use a VA for my main, flanked on the left and right by IPS, and boy do the IPS suck, as soon as I turn on dark mode, it's a uneven glowing grey.
Color accuracy is fine on my VA, sRGB122% DCI-P3 92% Delta E <2 without calibration.
I don't even have any noticeable viewing angle issues on my main monitor as it has a VA wide viewing angle panel. Heck newer VAs don't even have this problem and are commonly found in TVs now for their way superior contrast ratios.
IPS used to be good, but then the good panel makers have all sold their fabs to china, and now the market is flooded with shitty CN BOE PANDA IPS panels. Samsung and LG both exited the LCD business, and Sony was using KR panels in their Bravias.
QD-LED seems like a better technology on paper but it's still new and not as tested as the OLED panels
>blue LED
off to a fricking awful start
imagine the tint
imagine the insomnia
blue has a shorter wavelength than red.
You can add filters to turn blue into other colours. You can't add filters to turn other colours into blue
Something something atomic physics something something orbitals and power levels something something quantum dots turn monochromatic light into light of other wavelengths.
>Something something something something
Frick off back to plebbit you cringe newbie
its the arch nemesis of sleep, blue light! run for your lives!
this but unironically
i won't put up with your "muh dark mode is better because le light burns my le eyes" threads
how do you convert blue light to red light ?
QLED is just IPS.
You should probably get both, that's what I would do. One 4K 60 Hz cheap IPS monitor for working and browsing, and maybe some videos (I watch livestreams with a lot of static elements, I wouldn't risk to burn an OLED for that), and a QD-OLED for gaming, movies and other videos.
Qled is a backlighting technology. IPS is a subpixel arrangement panel technology. They're not mutually exclusive.
someone redpill me about Quantum Dot, is it oled or some new lcd technology
It's better than oled. QDEL will have all the advantages of oled without the drawbacks. That is, whenever it actually comes to the consumer space.
It goes like this:
>Content consumption, gaming
OLED, QD-OLED
>Content creation, office
IPS
>Budget gaming
IPS
>High-level competitive gaming
BenQ DyAc TN Panel, ViewSonic XG2431
>Trash
VN
>Obsolete garbage for mentally ill schizos
CRT
QD-OLED.
"regular OLED" will have white pixel bullshit and will use different OLEDs for the other primaries. QDs have less brigtness, but they're straight, uniform blue OLEDs transformed by quantum dot doped material so it should wear better overall, plus no meme white pixel bullshit.
Get a LG oled, but only if you game in a dark room, oled's are shit in light rooms.
Also, own a:
>LG oled CS 55"
>LG oled C3 65"
>smartphone with oled screen
>psvita launch model with oled screen.
And no burn in on any of them, i'm starting to believe the oled burn in meme is a lie created by tv brands who are in competition with oled brands.
How are black levels on modern IPS monitors ? Still shit ?
Yes, and they always will be. The whole point of IPS is that the edges are constantly backlit which produces a consistent image but poor contrast.
Good contrast requires some method to dynamically dim the backlights across the entire panel (or in OLED's case, the pixels). Some IPS panels try to dynamically lower the edge backlights for stuff like HDR400, but it looks like complete shit and is very clearly not HDR.
