Desktop OLED monitors for professionals and gamers are almost here

[captaincranky]

....[ ]....With on-going research in OLED, it is entirely possible that burn-in and low brightness will be solved sometime in the not-too-distant future. Samsung is also working on quantum-dot OLED, too. https://www.oled-info.com/more-details-emerge-samsungs-qd-oled-tv-plans

As you well know I'm a dyed in the thinning hair, Luddite.

I still rue the day when I was forced to surrender my 2 17" eMachines CRT monitors to the neighborhood recycling center.

Low brightness and burn in of OLED displays makes me nostalgic for those days...., or not. Especially not, in view of the extravagant prices of these disposable monitors. Although, remembering the color shift to dull red as the blue anode began to burn out, doesn't really make the current OLED panels seem like a viable viewing life path to follow.

Call me after they've solved those issues, and I can get a 55 incher at Walmart for $400.00, the same as my current 55" 4K Saturday night special.

As for these original OLED displays being created for the medical community, all I have to say is, "oh goody, another rise in Medicare premiums is in the wind".

I got you beat on that one. I rue the day when I had to surrender my 13" Sony CRT monitor to the recycling center. In its day, it was considered one of the best on the market.

Cheers, Captain. Enjoy the nostalgia and rue the day when monitors developed for other industries make their way to Walmart at $400 - which - BTW is what I am waiting for a 65" to come down to.

Just asian marketing bs & squarely aimed at the 15 year old kiddies.

It's for glaitz at tha size (lulz). Plus, the gaming world is long past 21 in inch PC displays. My damn CRT was 22".

In 2019, a 27" monitor is barely legit for gaming. We should be into 32" & 38" displays by now. There is just so much collusion atm with panel makers. (Where are the new native DP 1.4/USB-C monitors..?)

That crap was ratified last year...

I feel like you've never heard of PPI.

But have they solved the issue of burn-in from HUDs is the real question......

An "old headlight", is probably less than 3000 degrees Kelvin.

There are no degrees on the kelvin scale. It's just 3000 Kelvin.

OLED or Micro-LED, I'm looking forward to having a monitor with some more of the advantages of the old CRTs without the blurry pixels, warped images, and absurd weight. Sign me up for a pair of 36-40" OLED monitors. Three if there's a super-low-latency, persistence-of-vision mode.

From Wiki:

13th CGPM changed the unit name to simply "kelvin" (symbol: K).[10] Th Before the 13th CGPM in 1967–1968, the unit kelvin was called a "degree", the same as with the other temperature scales at the time. It was distinguished from the other scales with either the adjective suffix "Kelvin" ("degree Kelvin") or with "absolute" ("degree absolute") and its symbol was °K. e omission of "degree" indicates that it is not relative to an arbitrary reference point like the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales (although the Rankine scale continued to use "degree Rankine"), but rather an absolute unit of measure which can be manipulated algebraically (e.g. multiplied by two to indicate twice the amount of "mean energy" available among elementary degrees of freedom of the system).

Just call me "old school" It was "degrees Kelvin, likely before you were born.

I'm sure they will. I still have my plasma TV from 2008. Zero burn in.

Nobody cares about PPI after a certain point (see: Sony Trinitron CRT) . Secondly, only people who have cramped quarters/dorm and need to sit with their face in the monitor as a compromise, not how they want..

Well, what if I told you that I prefer smaller screens for gaming? Due to the fact my eyes can catch every info easier. Is all about peripheral vision. I always prefered 21,5 to 24 inches and I hate the fact every 144hz monitor is equal or bigger than 24. I play way better at lower sizes, specifically first person shooter and sports games.

I agree. I got the dell 1440p 24inch over the 27. So much more crisp.

I would say you are full of crap and you do that as a compromise.

If your eyes can catch info faster, then more screen and higher res means you get more info to your eyes. So major flaw in your argument. I suspect your face is right on top of your 21" display as some sort of personal compromise. As opposed to your face being 3 feet away, in a reclined position..? With the keyboard tray position to you.. instead of you positioning yourself over the keyboard, etc..?
