OLED monitors

Do you still get stuck/dead pixels with OLED and back light bleed ? They are the biggest problems with monitors at the moment.

They are coming down though a few weeks ago I read the cheapest was £7000 but "vindaloo" sell one for £1800 now.
 
My OLED TV is great, but there are problems like banding and greyscale issues.

That being said, I would probably still snap one of these up.

I can just imagine the conversation now taking place in LG Headquarters...

Tech Engineer: Before these OLED monitors are released, we must solve these banding and greyscale issues!
LG Boss: No need. People will buy them regardless, look at this guy on OCUK forums. We'll be laughing all the way to the bank, just like we did with all those panels plagued with back light bleed! Right, I'm off to buy my second yacht!

:D

Uh?

AOC, DELL, ACER (and Asus soon) all have their own 3440x1440 monitors using LG's IPS panels and are better than the LG's. AT 2560x1080 (21:9 FullHD) there are just more producers but the story is the same: LG is always the worst.

Nope.. That is simply not true. Ive had the Dell U3415W and it was worse than any other LG ive seen linked on this forum when it came to backlight bleed/glow and then there was the pixel transition times for certain shades which was sooooo slow it made no sense even for IPS.

Ive also had an AOC 29 2560x1080 which was pretty good but a bit blurry(oc to 72hz helped a little bit) and suffered from some glow and a little bleed where as my current cheapo LG 29um57 is near perfect in the glow and bleed department and once oced to 75hz becomes very snappy with minimal blur for such a low price(can ofcourse not compete with gsync/freesync IPS screen but it also only cost about 1/3-1/4 the price). So i would not say that LG are the worst at using their own panels.

I'm glad you had good samples but I was talking of what I saw in several forums over nearly 2 years of lurking. I'm also aware the difference in the 1080p is not that remarkable as it is for the 1440p, where it's really not that hard to prove that LG's are (far) inferior in build quality and number of defective units and issues in general, especially blb.

LG 34UM95 is inferior is all aspects to the AOC U3477PQU (same panel)
LG 34UC97 is inferior in all aspects to the DELL U3415W (same panel)

It doesn't mean if you take an LG you'll get a defective unit ok? It just mean that saying (4th time)

LG monitors are vastly better value usually than LG panels in 3rd party monitors - just look at the ludicrous prices of some of the 34" 3440x1440 IPS LG-paneled monitors.

is not true debatable. Can we close it here and talk about oleds now? Damn.

Now that LG are jumping on the gsync bandwagon, I'm interested to see what they come up with :D

Highly unlikely there'll be any G-Synch for OLEDs in the near future.

In fact I suspect that in terms of PC monitors, if there are any non-LG or non-Samsung branded ones in the next 24 months, they'll literally just be rebrands. They'll have the same (LG / Samsung specced if not built) controllers and electronics and almost certainly the same housing too ... stands could differ. I don't think the OEMs most monitor brands use have the facilities to package OLEDs like this.

There is no such thing as BLB with OLED. It displays pure black, 0 cd/m2 in measurement.

Stuck / dead pixels are still an issue, yes. Uniformity is also not perfect. The current LG OLEDs have issues displaying near black or grey colors. On grey test patterns you can see banding on majority of units. But in general, these first-gen OLEDs have much less issues than most LCDs already. It's a promising start.
 
I really needed these to come out before my baby does. Might not be a bad thing that I'll be forced to wait while prices come down and production matures. My trusty Dell u2711 will have to keep on trucking until then
 
OLED does sound desirable and I'm looking forward to their release.

I just hope they don't focus exclusively on curved displays for the PC market. I'm still struggling with the "bow-tie effect" I get with my X34. Games are awesome but Office and image editing applications are just B-en-T. It's also put me of a curved TV for the living room.

Who thinks it'll soon be too late to invest in premium panel displays with the imminent explosion of all those VR headsets we see on the horizon?

Opposite. Probably all larger OLED panels will be curved going forwards.

Hope you are wrong. LGs flat 65 inch screen will be a best seller, plenty of evidence to suggest people still prefer flat.
If anything I reckon they will still have to produce flat models.

They're so thin (and will get thinner) that making a decently rigid curved TV of that size should be much easier than a flat one.

As far as large monitors are concerned, I think pretty much all of them will be curved. There's not much case for flat OLED monitors past a certain size, seeing as people tend to sit at optimum distance and in the very centre (unlike TVs). I'm sure some mid sized monitors will be flat (21-28").

Yer, I can see your point and it does make sense.
The curved TVs I have seen have put me off, they all seem to have bad reflections caused by the curvature of the screens, its drives me potty. Hence I've been waiting on the flat OLED TV screen before making my purchase ;)

Also as I mainly do CAD work, I've noticed people mention that having curved screens have driven them crazy when you draw straight lines all day for a living ;)
