7.1 Surrounding?
Going on 4 years and 10k hours on my 65 c9 with zero issues. Only reason I am think to upgrade is cause I want a 77".On my 3rd 55" LG oled over the last 7-8 years. Its starting to go. Got a decent burn in line across the bottom of screen and its starting dim randomly. I seem to get about 2 to 2.5 yrs out of each before something starts to go. I'm pretty rough on mine though. Pixel refresh now and then but otherwise I leave them on static images for long periods. Also got this 3rd one free on warranty so no real complaints. Thinking I might go with a Hisense 55" Class U8 Series Mini-LED QLED this time around as a cheaper temp option until something really nice comes out, otherwise will bite bullet and go Samsung S90C oled with a really nice long warranty.
You use that as your everyday desktop monitor? I sit 2&1/2" back at my desktop for 12-18 hrs a day. I might have to go back another ft for a 77" heh.Going on 4 years and 10k hours on my 65 c9 with zero issues. Only reason I am think to upgrade is cause I want a 77".

this. i've been pretty happy with my samsung g7 , but after seeing a friend's oled, i'm just waiting for the next gen oleds coming this year.I have secondary VA panel I use in portrait and it just gets destroyed by OLED. No way to go back now
I am seriously impressed at your ability to focus that close. You must be extremely near-sighted? I need like -6 diopter glasses and I still need to sit back at least 4"!I sit 2&1/2" back at my desktop for 12-18 hrs a day.
I am a metric person but isn't that something like 7 cm? Guessing it was supposed to be feet.I am seriously impressed at your ability to focus that close. You must be extremely near-sighted? I need like -6 diopter glasses and I still need to sit back at least 4"!
It's definitely difficult to go back to an LCD after trying one out, but honestly yeah I would. There are longevity issues and also text display issues. And more than anything, just doesn't look like any OLED out there really ticks all my boxes anyway.
Also this video definitely gave me some pause:

Granted I keep most of my displays at 25%-50% brightness, but the fact that the burn in can get that bad at any point during the display's life cycle kind of makes it much less of an investment. I suppose one can view it like upgrading the GPU regularly. It's still going to last a while, but on the other hand I have LCD monitors from probably 20 years ago that still work and don't have burn-in. I've had a plasma before, so I know what it's like to have a display that you have to handle with baby gloves, and it's kind of annoying.
I have to admit though, that 45" 3440x1440 OLED ultrawide that I tried was absolutely amazing for immersion, though.
I had a OLED earlier this year, LG 240Hz 1440P, returned it because I couldn't get used to 1440P. Waiting for the 32" 4K 240hz RGB screens in 2025.
Also, the white subpixel has helped shoulder some of the burn-in prevention on these panels. They're very robust for OLED and I think the white subpixel is to thank on this one.The RGB OLEDs are not guaranteed to happen, they are just in some consideration phase. Seeing as how LG has been so reliant on the white subpixel to boost brightness for so long I really don't see them ditching it and going RGB only but hey I could be wrong.
4" is 10.16 cm. An inch equals 2.54 cm.I am a metric person but isn't that something like 7 cm? Guessing it was supposed to be feet.
Part of me still wishes it was RGB, but I did like hearing that the white pixel at least was likely making the panels more robust.Also, the white subpixel has helped shoulder some of the burn-in prevention on these panels.

honestly, I do not even notice. I have a keyboard tray custom mounted at the V in my L shaped desk. My eye are 63 years old and my head is positioned roughly 3 feet away. Its perfect. Not the best pic but you get the distance idea.How does it feel with the monitor having lower PPI?

Awesome. The lower PPI is a non issue and overhyped. I love this thing. Its not like I work with my face 8 inches from the screen. The PPI thing is all on paper. Reality is completely different. I am coming from an Alienware IPS 3440 x 1600 with a much tighter PPI and I still prefer this hands down. I have since changed desks to a Magnus Pro XL and the distance to my screen is actually closer now and its just fine. Keep in mind that my eyes are 63 years old. You mileage may vary. Wide angle shot below. Only way to get this monstrosity in the shot. I have since added and subtracted some things and buried the laptop dock in the cable management tray behind the G45.How does it feel with the monitor having lower PPI?
Lol. Lmao.Yes absolutely. Got a Samsung mini led as a monitor and QD Oled TV and they trade blows regarding image quality. Add to that no burn in worries and the mini led wins as my choice for a monitor.
LG Oleds are out of the question since they are way too dim with no colour volume.
LCD technology will keep improving while OLEDs will aways be constrained by their limitations. I see OLEDs as a temporary stop-gap technology that will be abandoned in the future similarly to Plasma.
Future, maybe. But currently I agree with him 100%. I've tried a number of the Oleds drooled upon here. Every single one disappointed me. I know we are a minority, but oled is too dim for my liking and the ABL present in alot of them annoyed me to no end. I will stick with mini led.Lol. Lmao.
Literally read an article like 3 days ago that they may have cracked the burn in problem entirely with a new process, which will also let them run higher brightness. So... Very wrong.
That's 250 days of 8 hour usage, hardly an accomplishment. I got a top of the line LCD monitor from 2008 that is still going strong as my secondary.2000 hours in with a 42 C2 as a daily driver for work. No regrets, I haven't tried a mini LED but might get one as a secondary.
Even it it is on "borrowed" time it is worth it for me. The infinite black levels was the game changer for me. The IPS and VA panels I have are still working fine and will continue to do so as secondary screens.That's 250 days of 8 hour usage, hardly an accomplishment.

When you own an OLED you know it's on borrowed time which is a feeling hard to shake of.
Exactly. Paying a couple thousand every 4 years or so (cheaper if you wait on sales / buy used with low hours as I have) is more than worth it to me.Even it it is on "borrowed" time it is worth it for me.

I got mine for $799, so would I do it again. YES!Exactly. Paying a couple thousand every 4 years or so (cheaper if you wait on sales / buy used with low hours as I have) is more than worth it to me.
