HDR Monitors

Please bring at least some monitors onto the market that don't have any potentially annoying issues like many of the current ones do :p

TN - pixel inversion, IPS - back light bleed and glow.

People need to complain or the issues are staying for longer. I want a new screen and am put off with the current crop, even if spending a decent amount.. So I'll be waiting.
 
HDR itself I'm not too bothered about monitor wise - though in the long run something I'd like to see done well - in the mean time I'm more interested in see an increase in general in the standard of monitors especially gaming panels that don't have either huge quality control issues or lacking in certain areas.

Well at the end of the day HDR is about as much use as a concrete trampoline if the monitor is a back light bleeding mess with coil whine, so seriously, figure out how to manufacture monitors that people can buy with 100% confidence and which are free of all these issues, and you will rule the world, women will throw themselves at you as you walk down the street and all your dreams will come true.

Well said that man. This 1000%! Sort the quality issues and horrendous *insert scathing sarcasm here* customer service out when falling foul of the panel lottery and Nirvana and all it's riches will be yours (read as customers throwing wallets at you through currency misted eyes).

Oh and while we're at it LG, Gsync variant, about time you did one!

I'd like to make full use of my GPU and play HDR content, of course, but I don't believe GSync and HDR should command a £400 price premium on top of the base cost of the monitor, which, let's face it, is a conservative estimate of what it would be.

No doubt the first 27" 1440p HDR GSync monitor will be £800, and the first 34" Super-Widescreen HDR GSync monitor will be £1400 with no sign of OLED, of course. I'm not buyin' it!*

*Unless it's OLED.

The price I'm willing to put up with the risk of backlight bleed and / or coil whine on an IPS HDR GSync 27" 1440p monitor is £400. Until then I'll stick with the superior contrast ratio on my 1080p 120Hz VA monitor.
 
Yes I want a HDR monitor! My one concern is that they will all be 4k like every HDR tv at the moment. 4K makes sense for TV's but for a PC monitor its a bit too much at the moment. Most people don't have the GPU horsepower to make it work and a lot of games still have UI issues at the res.

If there was a 3440x1440 HDR monitor with high refresh and low input lag i'd snap it up. Gsync would also be nice :D
 
Pls all bear in mind that there is a huge reason that OLED monitors are not available now - because currently the price is too high, they simply wouldn't sell

when we get the price down be ready :)

Nah, all you need is a couple of good reviews of samples in the Bristol area.

Demand would soar and you can drive down production costs.

Contact me via Trust to arrange a delivery time :D

Which is what I said earlier. LG and others could give us what we wanted but it would be £10k and certainly wouldnt fly off the shelves!!!!

ALthough I do fail to see why I can but a 40"+ OLED 4k HDR Tv for around a grand yet I cant buy a 40" OLED 4k HDR monitor yet?????????

Displayport 1.3 on TV's would be a nice middle ground for me :)

Would open LG TV's upto a whole new market imo :cool:

so you want Amp's , stb's / blu ray players etc etc to change too?

Cant see that happening imo

No point in TV's having the port if virtually nothing else has it either


would be nice to see OLED monitors even though Im sure they would be frighteningly expensive for quite a while

From what I've seen up to now price usually goes down at quality expense/cut corners, so I am pretty pessimistic about that...

Exactly.

In the old days there used to be a reason. Tvs were 720 at best and monitors were much larger res with better refresh rates.

Now TVs seem to be leading the way. Monitors dont offer anything the TVs offer already but

a. we get charged at least double
b. the quality is even worse

Absolute joke tbh.

Really want a 34" 1440 freesync 75+HZ monitor but I'll be damned if I am going to pay £700+ and in the case of the up coming samsung VA, probably £1200+

Will sooner pick up a LG 55"4k OLED HDR TV for £2500 (which will likely be vastly reduced by the end of the year, be it a sale or whatever given that it has already dropped £1000 since its release, which was only earlier on this year...) than the above!

Hi All,

just after some feedback - is HDR something that people are waiting for / looking for in a new monitor?

Hi,

Thanks for asking the community and I believe you already got some idea.

And here are my thoughts.
I do not see the point of HDR, which needs more bandwidth when we are stuck at 4K @60hz resolution because of the bandwidth it needs.

When you plan to release a HDR monitors, please take into consideration that if it is half measure, eg low resolution, or low on refresh rate, or even slow (high ms), people wont going to buy.
Also, you should consider the market and graphic cards. How many have at the moment DP1.3 capable graphic card, let alone DP 1.4 graphic card?

(DP 1.3 Supports 1080p HDR displays at 240hz, HDR 1440p at 170hz, 4K HDR monitors at 60Hz)

Of course there is the solution of Sharp with their ludicrous 8K 120hz monitor that needs 6 or 8 DP 1.4 connections. But only see 1 such connector on my GTX 1080.

And here we are end of 2016, and every manufacturer still releases their products with DP1.2, when DP 1.3 is out since 15 September 2014. While the first graphic cards with it, came out just 6 months ago.

So yes we want HDR but not going to sacrifice everything else for it.
