Why are monitors so crap?

[Grantelicious]

Picture quality wise I haven’t seen anything that can compete with any TV I’ve bought in recent times. My LG OLED looks so amazing and it only cost me £800 brand new in a sale. Where as the few OLED options on PC are way overpriced.

However even when it comes to LCD they’re still being made with HDMI 2.0.The light bleed is horrible,HDR that works well is non existent, they have dead pixels galore and poor image quality.

I cannot find a single good reasonably price monitor. What is up with the curve thing as well? It’s horrible :/

Everything is focusing on higher refresh rates, well I cannot tell the difference between 120 and 165. However I can tell the image quality sucks. I use an iMac at work and the image is amazing, but you cannot get that from a monitor on Windows. All the attempts fall short, and you’ll have light bleed and dead pixels, where at least Apple have quality control.

I’m struggling here to find a good monitor. I tried that Samsung G7 one, I hate the curve, the backlight zoning is too distracting and sucks. The picture on it is horrible... I play games on my LG TV and see that nasty screen next to it....

Where are the good monitors?

I’m really hoping LG can make a 32 inch OLED, but their 48 inch is stupidly priced, so I doubt it. As for burn in, I’m surprised Microsoft hasn’t patched Windows to have an aggressive anti burn in mode. IPS suffers from image persistence as well, every one I’ve owned has had it, including the iMac. It goes away when you’re watching something so it’s not as bad, but it returns very quickly with static images.

Can only hope Micro LED solves the problems. But judging the cost of monitors, it’ll be 5 years away at least.

The problem with the G7 is it’s 1440p and 27 inch.... not good enough. It needs to be 4K or you can see the pixels and it’s so ugly. I look at my iMac at work and it’s like a phone screen it is so good. I’m just surprised on PC everyone goes on about Graphics Cards, but who cares when the games look worse than on a phone or console. Because you’re playing on a crappy Monitor and they’re playing on a lab OLED, even Samsung’s TVs look better with the FALD.

The G7 has a form of local dimming and it sucks, why? Why can’t they replicate what they do on their TVs? There are few zones and you can see them turning on and off, it’s horrible. Also if the monitor is tilted in slightly the wrong angle, it’s all washed out. You have to have it tilting slightly up and dead on.
