    Sweet Baby Jeebus Alienware 55" 4k120 OLED Displayport

    If it was smaller ... like, 40"-42". 55 too beaucoup. I tried using an LG 55" as a computer monitor a while back and the sheer size of it made it unusable at the distance i sat. The PPI wasn't so great either compared to my 40" 4k screen.

    Gsync & FreeSync TVs (ever a possibility?)

    nVidia has a series of 65" 120Hz 4k HDR displays with gSync but it sounds like they're basically just large monitors, not TVs.

    Help me decide on 4K or 1440p Monitor

    28" is way too small for 4k imo. I'd say go for a high refresh 1440p if your options are limited to displays around this size. Note that you will not be able to take advantage of FreeSync if you have an nVidia gpu.

    Philips bdm4037uw vs Philips bdm4065uc

    I still have the BDM4065UC and while the picture quality is overall really good I can confirm that what bothers me the most about it is the colors. They look dull and washed out. Sliding digital vibrance up in the nVidia control panel helps, but also causes brighter shades to be crushed. Would...

    LCD,LED screens 'burn" my eyes! What is the solution?

    They like to max out peak brightness as far as possible as it helps to A: sell their panels in retail viewing conditions and B: inflate their contrast ratios without providing better black levels.

    When Will We Have The Perfect Monitor?

    HDMI 2.1, 120hz at 4k, and variable refresh rate seems like a possibility on LG's 2018 OLED displays. The Xbox Scorpio is also going to have HDMI 2.1 and will support VRR. Support for these features on a high profile console is exactly what the market needs in order to get panel manufacturers to...

    Monitor set up for someone who's bedridden?

    Large 4k TV on an appropriate VESA wall or ceiling mount imo. How far away would he be sitting from it? I have a 40" 4k monitor, and at more than 5ft away I think the text would be too small to read. Scaling up the desktop defeats the purpose of having the added screen real estate of 4k.

    Should I be focused on 1440p 144hz gsync at this point, or 4k?

    I have got both a ROG Swift 1440p TN panel with gSync and a 40" early generation 4k monitor, the Philips BDM4065UC. If I had to pick one or the other, I'd stick with the 4k display. The Swift only sees use when I'm playing a fast paced, competitive online game, which I've been playing less and...

    So how is 1080p or 1440p gaming on a 4K monitor?

    On my 40" 4k monitor, 1080p looks like garbage. 1440p is a lot better. Both resolutions are massively inferior to running games at 4k. At lower resolutions colors look somewhat washed out and using anti-aliasing is a must especially at 1080p, whereas most games look better without AA filters at 4k.

    2017 LG OLED

    Anyone here have one of these yet? There is an owners thread on AVS now and people are starting to give first impressions.

    2017 LG OLED

    It is worth mentioning that the ~21ms input lag figure they are citing is from the E7 in gaming mode. So we can expect input lag to be comparable to the 2016 models post-firmware update, I guess.

    LG's 2016 OLED series (E6,B6,G6,C6)

    These have been around for ~9 months now. Any early adopters of these care to comment on how they've been holding up? Image retention problems, pixel issues, color integrity?

    Philips BDM4037UW - 40" Flicker-Free, Curved 4k

    I like that they went with a brushed metal look for the bezel. Some well known posters around these parts have often complained of how the shiny black bezels used on most monitors and TVs degrade the perceived contrast ratio.

    Asus 4k @ 144hz at Computex

    I'm pretty sure the ability to run most games at 4k at 120 fps on dual card setups would already be a reality if nVidia didn't artificially gimp their gpu lineup for the sake of having more room to release more cards that are only moderate upgrades at best (but still upgrades and therefore...

    Bad Time to Buy? Gsync

    Acer also has a 32" 4k IPS panel with gsync but it is very expensive and only 60Hz. Within a year from now we will have 4k 120/144Hz options with gsync or freesync. So I'd wait personally.
