"They say that they will “present a next-generation zone featuring panels such as a Gaming OLED that reaches the level of the DisplayHDR True Black 1000 standard set by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA), delivering accurate color reproduction as intended by content creators. The panel reaches peak brightness of 2,000 nits, offering highly vivid visuals based on enhanced contrast.”"

"“LG Display will additionally showcase next-generation OLED technologies such as Black Frame Insertion (BFI), which ensures ultra-high-refresh-rate content runs smoothly without needing a high-end graphics card, and Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR) 2.0, which allows users to switch between ultra-high-refresh-rate and ultra-high-resolution modes.”

Depends a lot on whether it adds input lag like LG TV BFI does on my LG CX, and how much it reduces brightness.

I do feel like the huge rise in refresh rates with these dual mode setups has largely made BFI irrelevant. The people who are after that - which I surmise is mostly multiplayer shooter players - already get a good experience with "less demanding lower resolution + high refresh rate" dual modes.

As someone exclusively into single player games, I'll take my higher resolution + bright HDR over BFI any day. Still nice to see some movement in this for those who care.

I'm more interested in Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR) 2.0 and what that means.
 
Why is it LG can put "get a suntan levels of nits" into a TV, but monitors you get cloud days? Is it simply due to the pixel density being too close that it requires more cooling than necessary or something like that?

HDR 1000 sounds nice, first time a gaming OLED would actually display HDR properly.

Yeah seriously I'm glad the past 4 years of terrible HDR on OLED monitors is finally starting to come to an end.

Yeah that seems to be the case, or perhaps "Aperture Ratio" is the more accurate term here?. TBH, 1000 nits in real scene content is enough for me and I would just focus on higher Hz from that point on. Sure 2000+ nits can look great, but I don't think it's totally necessary to have a good HDR experience. TV's have been in this pointless nits war for a few years now and we are getting to some crazy numbers territory with the S95H doing 2800 nits peak without ANAPeak modding.

Strobing/BFI always adds input lag, but it's not any amount that would actually matter or else those CS2 pros would not be using it if it's constantly making them "miss their shots". Even if it reduces brightness by 50%, being True Black 1000 means it's already capable of 500 nits fullscreen so even a 50% reduction would end up being a very useable 250 nits. I'm personally not so interested in it either as I'm more for HDR and would rather use HDR + High Hz combined with MFG, but we're going to need frame warping/Reflex 2 to fix the sluggish feeling first.
 
Strobing doesn't need to add any input lag.
In fact without adding lag we could also have brighter strobing and at least without full screen brightness limitations.

Unfortunately strobing is not only not a focus but there is a lot of incompetent people responsible for making these displays so we not only get bad method to do strobing but even there we get higher lag than absolutely necessary with this method. Maximum lag with current method BFI should be half of the frame worth of lag. Currently it seems to be 1 frame of lag added.

That would be nice but really 1 frame of lag is nothing, if you're missing shots and blaming 1 frame of lag as the reason why then I'd say that's more of a skill issue. Elvn could probably write up why such input lag figures means nothing when it comes to online play :D

I'm really hoping BFI and DisplayHDR1000 is not going to be two separate panels but rather both features into a single display. Not every game needs HDR or even supports it at all, and those that do not support it don't always have RenoDX as a fallback. I have no more interest in using fake HDR stuff like AutoHDR or RTX HDR these days so it's either a really good native implementation or RenoDX otherwise I just won't bother and would rather use SDR + BFI in that scenario.
 
Couldn't they just report, say, 60 fps, run the display at 120Hz, and just have every other refresh black? Would that not add zero latency (or, technically 1 frame of latency, but only if you had to reduce the framerate to do it)?

I'd believe that... except for laptops. If you trundle over to Lenovo and they have a laptop with an HDR Trueblack 1000 OLED. Or hell, cellphones. My S26 Ultra gets bright enough to handle direct sunlight and is measured to peak out at around 1400nits full screen when it goes hard (more like 750nits in normal conditions but still).

For some reason computer monitor OLEDs live in this strange realm of "we don't need brightness"! TVs can throw down some impressive numbers and not just in 10% windows, the maintain good numbers of 25% windows which is representative of higher APL scenes. Phones likewise can get bright as hell, even if you leave the auto brightness for outdoors off the table (since it is probably pushing itself harder than you'd want regularly) it'll do 750nits full screen, 1800nits 10%. Then you get computer monitors that are just now getting 300nits peak and still only like a little over 500nits 10%... WTF?

Good point about laptops. Perhaps the weird subpixel structure allows for higher brightness? I know phone OLEDs use some weird pattern and not RGB stripe like PC monitors, not sure about laptops though. I'm no expert on the subject, just making guesses. I'm just finally glad OLED monitors with actual HDR brightness levels are finally going to hit the market. To me, the TB400 and TB500 monitors of today feel more like "HDR Lite" or "SDR Plus" rather than full fledged HDR displays.

Agreed. The HDR presentation on the PG32UCDP isn't bad, like I'd still recommend people use HDR over SDR on that monitor, but it also just doesn't have the impact you get from the PG32UQX. It never really feel I guess impressive for lack of a better word.

Aww man, they had to use the RGWB stripe to do it. I'm less excited now.

Not only that, Vincent thinks those brightness figures will only be possible at "native white point" which is like 10K...but the biggest bummer for me is of course the size and resolution. I'm not going back to a 27" 1440p panel even if it's for TB1000, I'll wait for this to be available in 4K panels and it also needs to capable of reaching that brightness at D65 whitepoint.
 
Some information on the BFI panel...yet again it's 27" 1440p 540Hz, and BFI will only work at half the refresh rate so 270Hz max for BFI. Main benefits being less input lag than scaler based solutions and more control over the brightness...meh. I was really hoping for BFI to work at the panel's max refresh rate as well as some 4K options. Disappointed.

Yeah but .. display life and burn in at that big nit level? And what about the pixel oxidation that's slowly ending my CX?

4-5 years and throw away $1500 screens every time?

I want this to work, but they need to talk about quality and longevity alongside nits and bfi.

CRTs and LCDs can cross the decade barrier of use without breaking a sweat.

Heck, our oldest Mitsubishi 74" DLP is still working.

CX and earlier built C1's seem to be an outlier for that issue. The first OLED I ever bought is a 2017 B7 and it is still working just fine, no dead pixels or delamination on that at all even after 9 years. I don't see many C2 owners reporting on this problem either. As for longevity well that of course remains to be seen, but if you want to keep a screen for more than 5 years then yes OLED is definitely not your best bet. I'm totally ok with spending $1500 every 2-3 years for a new display, heck the people over at AVSForums spend $5000+ every single year just to get the latest TV lol.
