  1. Glossy coatings
  2. Flat panels from Samsung
  3. MLA in WOLED panels
  4. More respect for the EOTF curve in QD-OLED panels
  5. The ability to turn off ABL without the need to go into a service menu with appropriate warning
  6. "5K" (5120x2880) and 8K (7680x4320) 16:9 resolutions
  7. Pipe dream: Triple mode monitors with support for 1920x1080 480 Hz, 3840x2160 240 Hz, and 7680x4320 120 Hz
 
I'd settle for what we have now specification wise with the technology to prevent burn in risk.
 
I whish for LGs marketing dept to send somebody to microsoft an give them whatever handjob they want to finally implement OLED subpixel structures into windows.
Until then OLED is not for me since clarity is my top priority.
 
I'm going to be real sad that this almost certainly won't be the same crystal clear glass that's on the C2 I use now but as a resolution whore, I think i'm going to just look past it.
 
It's going to be the same terrible 800R curved 45" that LG has been selling for a couple years now, probably with the exact same coating, but higher rez. Go to Best Buy or Microcenter and look at one, albeit the current 45" is only 3440x1440, you'll still get a good idea of how crappy it is.

I tried to convince myself to buy one, but I just couldn't do it. Ended up with a QD-OLED Alienware 32". Very mild curve.
 
The curve I don't think i'll mind, I loved it with my old 34" ultrawide. I miss that immersion when I went to a flat C2 but yeah that coating... I want to see whats on the 32GS95UE as that's the latest OLED monitor LG has put out.
 
Now if LG would release a 38-40" replacement for my 38GN950-B, with 5120x2160, WOLED, with True Black 500 or 600, with the same MILD curve, I'd throw my money at them now.
 
Won't upgrade until we get an actual breakthrough in brightness when it comes to higher APL. OLED already does pretty good at 10% and lower APL but suffers from too much ABL above that making bright HDR scenes look really dull.

BFI!!!. But yeah, give it all to me baby.
 
In no particular order

1. BFI usage without taking a brightness loss.
2. 480Hz @4k (DP 2.1 implementation with new GPUs) ((Maybe a 5090 will get you there))
3. Higher refresh rates at lower resolutions. We already got this but would be nice to see them keep pushing in this area. Dual mode 1080p @ 960hz anyone?
3. Higher brightness.
4. LG TV gloss panel implementation for WOLED monitors.
5. Better cooling solutions to extend longevity/ brightness.
6. 8k.
 
Highly individual preference. Personally had 1000r on 34" Ulrawide and loved it and 800R is a big plus, especially on something as physically wide as a 45". But you'll find many people who abhor any curve at all.
Typically I find its those that just see it in pictures and/or aren't buying for gaming. Its the kind of thing you have to experience in person for a week or two in games and you'll get it.

At 960hz we can skip the BFI part. At 480hz I think it also won't matter to most people.

But yeah, give me those hertz. OLED can take it.

Whats the fetish with 8k gaming? Do you guys enjoy sloppy sub-40fps gaming for no noticeable gain in picture quality? 4k@120hz+ is much better and looks practically the same.
 
Just don't understand matte OLED displays.

1. Matte coatings are for bright environments
2. OLEDs are not particularly bright, their strength is in contrast and response.
3. OLEDs don't do well in bright environments, as the average brightness is low compared to Mini LEDs.
4. anyone who buys an OLED, matte or glossy, and uses it in a bright environment is not happy with them. A different display tech would suit them better.
5. The Matte coating only makes the image grainy and blurry in dark environments, this is proven and can be seen with the naked eye.
6. Glossy coatings have been proven to be much better in dark environments, where OLEDs thrive.
7. Matte coatings may reduce reflection sharpness, but that results in black levels being lifted and the black colours become more grey or matching ambient. thus removing more than half of OLEDs value: contrast.
Thus, Literally the matte coating is abjectly worse when it comes to OLEDs and offers no advantage to them. Other displays that get incredibly bright MAY have a use case for blurring reflections.

The Samsung matte coating is fine
My office is pretty bright
I run my G80SD at 17/50 brightness while I work
No issues.

Sure, we all had matte LCD's for years. When you experience a full glossy glass display its game changing. I can't believe I went all my life without this and how much I was missing. The picture quality upgrade is just insane.
 
The matte vs glossy thing is overblown as hell. I am a huge glossy lover and will always pick glossy if given the choice. Unfortunately the 4K WOLED monitors are not available in glossy. Compared to my glossy CX, is the matte WOLED image quality worse?Yes! It is in fact worse, but BARELY. It's not such a massive difference like some people make it out to be. I do not consider it to be a dealbreaker at all. Still wish it was glossy though.

Yea I don't get it either.

Might it be for the competitive gaming crowd, which often does NOT use those in dark environments, and buys OLED not for the colours, but for the motion clarity? (and for whom the current brightness levels should be plentiful).
 
I think you may be right. No point in worrying about this until CES. I am thinking there will be a solution as the demand is there.

Believe me I want glossy just as much as everyone else, I am fully in team glossy supremacy. But the truth is that the matte on LG's WOLED is more of a semi gloss rather than actual full blown matte. I still believe glossy is superior but you shouldn't let the semi gloss coating stop you from buying the monitor if it is otherwise your dream spec display for 2025.

do you mean Samsung QD-OLED here? That's a semi glossy finish with AR properties. LG's WOLED panels are about as matte as they come, more grainy and matte than their equivalent IPS LCD panels at least
 
Nobody is going to make a glossy 800R panel - that will reflect half the known galaxy - if they go down to a 2300R or something then maybe - but probably not because Glossy is niche and 4KUW is also niche and you rarely get double niche

As matte as they come? Yeah that's incorrect. the Samsung Neo G8 is as matte as they come. I literally have the PG32UCDP and an Acer X27 and the matte finish on the OLED is even lighter than the Acer. Perhaps semi gloss isn't correct, but the point is that the matte is light enough to not be a dealbreaker. Hell I literally had the PG32UCDP side by side with a QD OLED and still didn't think it was a dealbreaker.

I didn't even think about that. If it's an 800R curve then the edges of the panel would probably be in view of each other and just reflect off each other if it's glossy which sounds kinda hilarious.
 
OLED Glossy 4k 32+ inches 240Hz or higher

When that arrives, I go into debt.
