I work at an electronics store. We had the new Samsung QD OLED TV out as a demo and we noticed after a couple months of daily usage that the brightness dropped significantly. I knew that OLED TV’s get less and less bright after using them for some time but I didn’t expect it to be so fast. So please do a test on it to see after how many ‘watch-hours’ the brightness goes down to 80% of its original peak and after how many hours 70% etc

Pro tip for ultrawide enthusiasts, watching 16:9 content kinda gives a reverse burn-in effect where the screen will evenly wear out in the center 16:9 area but NOT the sides with the black content-less pillarboxes which is really noticable on lower brightness levels...
@beegbraining 5 ай бұрын
wait, thats actually a really good pro tip
@dafe3106 5 ай бұрын
But that can be fixed by a long panel refresh afaik. Also it's not so bad if you reduce screen brightness in 16:9 as the monitor will otherwise boost it higher than normally in 21:9. But the main takeaway from this still stands: In the long term you'll degrade the whole panel as much as your worst pixel.

I honestly think that for displays, not for every video, but for displays in particular you should put out an HDR video. So many screens are boasting HDR as a feature and most content consumption screens are HDR enabled, that it makes sense that you should put out an HDR video for monitor and TV reviews as it really helps with understanding what the panel is bringing to the table.
@caodesignworks2407 5 ай бұрын
I don't necessarily disagree with you, but there's a lot of competing HDR specifications and not all monitors come close to meeting those requirements. And KZfaq's compression also dings the quality, so while I think it might be worth it, it also might give false impressions to people who don't understand that even with HDR enabled, it's just not likely going to look the same
@mizinoinovermyhead.7523 5 ай бұрын
@@caodesignworks2407 all of those are fair criticisms, however SDR is further away from what the monitor looks like, KZfaq supports multiple output hdr formats. And a small explanation at the front would go a long way to compensating for the differences. Mastering in an appropriate HDR format for the display would also help. Remember most are viewing on their phones and thus are getting reasonably comparable experiences that can be predicted for.

Linus, I got this tip from you years ago in a video. You should try the Samsung S90C 55 inch 4K TV, but run in 21:9 aspect ratio for 3840x1600 50 inch diagonal image. It will have black bars on top and bottom, but not a big deal since OLED is so black. And it only runs at 144 hrtz, but that is about the limit of a 4090 running a triple AAA game today. Looks fantastic. That being said, it has the quirks of running PC on a TV so I'll be interested in the 32inch 4k monitor, however it is a decent substitute.

Honestly once you set up cleartype then the issue with color fringing and text clarity isn't really an issue and funny enough it was only ever an issue if your doing a lot of text on white background. Anything you use dark mode on you won't ever see it and you won't see it in games either. Pretty much it only is really an issue in office software.

A bit of a note for QD OLED, on bright room, the black level increases significantly, to the point you're like looking at a LCD panel rather than OLED. Why? Because either the QD tech or the coating on the panel. Some say that since the QD part got stimulated by ambient light, they reflected that light back, and some other say it's the panel coating that sucks. Well, point is, before buying one, make sure you are willing to use this in a dark room for maximum experience on the thing. If you can't, maybe because your SO give you a no-no, then just buy a normal WOLED panel.

I mostly play single player. To be honest I'm not entirely sure. I use two 27 inch monitors at work, and recently I bought LGs 27inch 240hz oled and returned it because it just felt too big when I tried gaming on it. Also it had a dead pixel lol and other annoyances. Now at home I game on a 24inch and it feels great because I never have to move my head and even eyes too much while playing. When I played on the LG it felt like a downgrade having to move so much more just to read things on the edges of the screen. Probably sounds stupid, but I'm just particular like that. It could be just habitual. @@Lucromick13

Why 120hz. Why not 240 or 360hz when they're so much better
@SlipknotRevan 5 ай бұрын
True they're better and nice-to-have, but I think 120 is a sweet spot. Cause the difference between 120 and 240 felt much less to me than from 60 to 120. And mostly because trying to run a game to actually use the 360hz would 1: require the top of the line gpu and 2: would mean that gpu is constantly running its fan at 100% which is super annoying to me. Nothing against the higher refresh rates but it depends on what games you play, cause some games are easy to hit 360 all the time but the games I play (cp2077, alan wake) Id be lucky to hit 120. @@Evan-xs8ts

I just watched this on the Alienware AW3423DW and I've been daily driving it since November 2023 (Jan 2024 as of writing). I absolutely LOVE this monitor, and typically run the Pixel Refresh function 2-3 times a day (usually if I'm going to the bathroom, heading off to the gym, or some activity where I'm away from the desk for a bit) and then just run the Panel Refresh overnight for the 8 hours. Probably over-zealous, but honestly, even this over-zealousness doesn't feel like it inhibits my usage and enjoyment of the display. To see displays that are even BETTER about burn in and make such over-zealousness even less warranted is super exciting. Certainly not upgrading given how new this is, but I'm definitely excited to see where these panels will be when this one (or my 2nd LCD monitor more likely) gives out and needs replacing. If you don't have the $$$ to splurge on the brand new ones, I can easily say the AW3423DW or other last gen QD-OLEDs are still worth it, hands down the most beautiful display I've ever used.

I wonder if LG will have an adequate answer to this tech in future, or if they'll just license it too? It seems like a significant disadvantage that they're such a big name in the OLED scene, and yet they don't use this technology. They have various competitor type processes for their non-OLED TVs, like their miniLED line. Incidentally, I wonder if microLED will ever take off in the consumer space? They're still working on it, it seems, but it seems pretty slow going for the technology to reach the consumer space at tolerable prices and a large range of physical dimensions.
@danieloberhofer9035 5 ай бұрын
LG's WOLED panels are no slouch, either, and the new ones coming now do seem interesting, as well. In comparison, there's advantages and disadvantages to both technologies. Only in-depth testing will show who'll have the upper hand - if there even is one. Might well be like this gen where it comes down to which features you value more as well as the work the display manufacturer put in to fine-tune the panel for its product.

@@ThatSoddingGamer You've just in passing made a very important point that often gets lost in all the excitement around new tech and the new objective landmarks it achieves: Personal preference. In other words: What features get you excited and what qualities you value will almost always differ from other people - even more so when it comes to something that is very closely tied to human senses (displays -> vision, or the tactility of keyboards for example). In that regard it's a good thing that competition exists and that not all technical approaches are equal.

I can have a pretty dark room (small windows, and I'm often up before the sun rises on my days off), so OLED is ideal for me versus maximum brightness to compensate for high ambient light. It is a shame though, when promising tech gets abandoned because they can't make it commercially viable fast enough to compete in time.

I'm very disappointed that the anti-glare coating flaw is not mentioned. The biggest issue of QD-OLED is the need for the special anti-glare coating that completely destroys near-black content when there is any other sources of light in the room, negating most of the near-black benefit of OLED. Regardless of how good or accurate the monitor is, it simply looks horrendous for any darker content if you're using it in a room with any other light source. You can see this very obviously as the pinkish hue on the monitors at 1:07 in the video. How can we trust your reporting if a flaw as big as this is entirely neglected in your review?

Not as sharp and clear as on a DELL IPS next to it but it fine. I also wear protection glases while working so they help. When the evening comes and I start to play games or watch a movie/tv show the monitor shows it's true performance and quality. It's breath taking. Sadly I can't find a way to watch Dolby Vision from PC but HDR10 does it well enough. I also have a Philips OLED707 that has an LG WOLED Panel, I think it's the same as in C2 but limited in firmware. QD-OLED tech wipes the floor with LG WOLED. If LG doesn't brind anything new soon they will loose the OLED battle with Samsung.

I don't even do the pixel refresh every 4 hours as recommended. I just don't care to stop what i'm doing to do it. It's been an amazing monitor. I've even removed the flat matt film on it to have it all 100% glossy and its just to so amazing to look at. Colors pop like i've never experience before in a monitor.

If it needs replacing in 3 years time I'm willing to spend the money again no questions asked, plus I'm sure by the time the warranty runs out microLED will make its way into market and that will most likely be endgame for most of us

Main issue is when everytime I go back to the measly 850:1 contrast of an lg nano ips panel it's really disorienting. You get used to it quick though. If you keep the brightness cranked which really drives up heat, I'd be shocked if you could even hit 5k hours without noticeable degradation.
