To the untrained eye, this could seem like your run-of-the-mill gaming monitor, but with a high refresh rate, QD-OLED, 1440p resolution, quick response times, and amazing colour accuracy, it's hard to find a complete package better than this. Is Linus ready to "downgrade"?

So glad I don't have to deal with all that, I have a custom Windows 8.1 enterprise pro on my main gaming rig, it isn't bare metal like a console OS, but it's a whole lot closer, it cuts the memory footprint down by 90%, increases frame-times (latency) by a massive margin, has much better minimum frames, and average FPS is 15-30% higher, I also use a remote terminal from a home server with 384Gb of RAM and a RAM-Drive over 100 GB fibre for super low latency internet browsing, I never have to worry about malware, spyware, virus's on my gaming rig, and internet browsing doesn't eat up all my RAM, no memory leaking either which is nice.

Something I find really annoying about the recovery partition is that they put it at the end of the drive. Every time I had to upgrade someone's SSD (or increase the disk size inside a VM), I had to type some magic commands to deal with that stupid partition. If the recovery partition was first and the system partition second, I would only need to resize the system partition when swapping the drives, which can be done with the partition manager built into Windows.

I am 100% buying an oled monitor either this year or next... whenever I can get either a 1440p 480hz QD or potentially the 240hz 4k that can do 1080p 480hz (tho I am sad its w oled and not 1440p for the 480hz mode)

Given a year or two, it could completely replace LCD, WOLED, and QD-OLED.

While OLED tech has come a long way, I really want to see more progress in the mini-LED monitor market. I hate the thought of a $900 monitor becoming borderline unusable in 3 years due to burn-in and general panel degradation. Obviously it's not a big issue with gaming or movie watching, but my PC does it all and that makes OLED not viable as static elements will burn-in to the display over time and no doubt it will lose brightness in an attempt to maintain panel uniformity.

@@kunimitsune177 They've done testing on that stuff in the past iirc, even if you're game is running at 60fps, there is still a benefit to having a higher refresh rate, and vice versa if you're running at a higher fps than your refresh rate. More is always gunna be better it just depends if its worth it for you personally, like if you were a streamer, a pro or just have the money to burn stuff like this is worth it, but for your average joe then it aint really necesary.

That's only a problem for the 4k model. Theres one from MSI coming later this year that can run at its full spec at 10 bit with hdmi 2.1, it falls just under the 48 gbps limit. The Dell has limited bandwidth hdmi 2.1, so you have to use DSC.
