Main reason OLED monitors are more expensive is probably lower production numbers and perhaps the higher refresh rates (240hz is standard on current 4K OLED monitors).

[@jolness1]

And the higher pixel density, harder to make smaller oleds that will survive awhile.

[@kriswingert1662]

This is correct. A PC monitor supports resolutions higher than a counterpart tv. Custom processors for G-sync and other features as well, cause the increase.

[@supertrexandroidx]

@@kriswingert1662 Not higher resolutions, and I'm not sure about the different processors for G-sync, but definitely higher refresh rates. I would say that refresh rates are the number one reason I personally see people citing for choosing a monitor. That and size. OLED TV's only go as small as 42", as far as I know, and there's not many of those (I have an LG C3 that size). Many PC users only use their PC's at a desk and there's often not enough real estate for TV's/monitors that large. And also, as unlikely as it might seem, I suspect that a lot of PC users just don't think of using a TV for a monitor - in their minds you pair a PC with a PC monitor, end of story. Personally, I think that as long as you're not out to be a frag king and you're content with gaming at 120 to 144hz, and you have room for one, an OLED TV is a much better bargain.

[@trickytrinigaming]

You are probably correct about the refresh rate. No different in regular monitors even those get up there in price.

[@supertrexandroidx]

@@kriswingert1662 There are no OLED TVs below 42", as far as I know, but those TV's are all 4K, so I don't believe the higher resolutions in monitors point holds true. I don't have any facts to assess the assertion that the G-sync processors in monitors are better, so can't say for sure on that one. But aside from refresh rates, size is often cited by buyers as a reason to go with monitors. Many PC users sit at a desk and just don't have the real estate for 42"+ TVs, so they're willing to pay more for smaller sizes. By the way, I posted pretty much the same comment days ago and it was deleted, apparently by KZbin. Not the first time this has happened lately. Anyone know why the H KZbin might be deleting completely innocuous comments? ;)

[@michael-4k4000]

Caleb, loved how you answered that last question. You reasoned it out and none of the out comes really made sense, and rather than trying to pass that off as being true you said "I dont know". Respect for saying that, it would make zero sense if you knew everything.

[@coffhaulic4564]

I always wondered why even 27” OLED monitors cost so much. I could even score a 48” LG OLED at that same price on Black Friday.

[@CasepbX]

OLED monitors truly are a scam right now.

[@arttizkappa2588]

if you not focus on hz then go for tv picture quality so much better

[@BugLondon]

It's because monitors don't go on nearly as heavy discounts as Tv's do or experience the same level of gradual price drop throughout the entire year. And they typically don't get rotated out the same way so fast. there's just special promotions the manufactuer's do so you get it cheaper sometimes when you buy direct from them.

[@user-oq6sc1qm4j]

Its expensive for one simple reason, the manufacturer can get away with it. PC gamers buy it and not a lot of people complain.

[@DarkReturns1]

It's expensive because of the "mother glass" used in the creation of these screens. 55" and so on are very common sizes nowadays and therefore cheaper to manufacturer. Creating a 27" size creates so many manufacturing issues, the way they divide up the mother glass is completely different. Combine that with the fact it will sell significantly less than their 55" TV screens is why they cost so much more.

[@dperr338]

8K won’t be around for quite a while. We don’t have storage media that supports it and most don’t have internet fast enough to stream it. If they do, it will be “optimized” so most people have access to it. Translation: heavily compressed to the point it’s not worth the added cost.

[@mavfan1]

Ever heard of up scaling?

[@dperr338]

@@mavfan1 Upscaling is not 8K…

[@jezza6575]

Not to mention the case for diminishing returns on resolutions above and beyond 4K.

[@shasanmaz]

I may be able to use 10gbps internet access from Sep 2025 on the government initiative to improve network speed from 1gbps to 10gbps. I think the access speed range from 5 to 9 gbps. No real contents available yet on 8K on youtube.

[@yonkocommander5531]

@@jezza6575this is probably the biggest factor, because even if the storage, network, and content is there, you’re only benefiting of you sit closer or get a bigger TV

[@MJ-ge6jz]

My first OLED was the LG 48" C2. This is my computer monitor and it is awesome. Great for gaming and it's my daily driver. I need a 65" TV and based on your last video I went for the LG 65 Evo C3, got the last one in stock at Best Buy; got it for $1250. Was going to go for a Hiesens 65 U8 but ended up with the LG. Also have the LG TechMission remote for video tweaking.

[@lpromer4796]

Did you get the C3 or G3? Thanks!

[@robertharling8151]

Re the 55 inch OLED tv vs 32 inch oled monitor question. It could be because they sell more tvs than monitors so they have to recoup the design cost. Which is why tvs drop so much in price after a year. It’s like anything. Also they sell them at a price people are willing to pay. My advice. Look at getting a bigger desk and buying a 42 or 43 inch tv to use as a monitor. I did and love my £550 43 inch qn90b computer monitor :). Mini led at half the price of some similar spec 32 monitor. Look at lg 42 inch c class too (also this year the 43 inch qn90c is £650 on Amazon or at least it was)

[@jolness1]

Monitors are more because it’s more difficult to manufacture a panel with smaller OLEDs. Pixel density on a 32” 4k monitor is 137ppi, 4k 55” is 80. So the pixels have to be a lot smaller. With the 27” 1440p monitors it made no sense they cost so much because it had the same pixel density as (I believe) the 42” 4K panels. I don’t like it but from a technical standpoint there is a reason. Also, I doubt volume is anywhere near as high and defect rates are higher so lower scale and higher waste drives up cost too.

[@bickybickford]

I just bought a TCL 85" from last year 85QM850G for unbelievable low price from Best Buy. Thanks to your videos from a few months ago.

[@djmervizzzy]

have you ran into any problems with your tv? I plan on purchasing the 65''

[@bickybickford]

@@djmervizzzy no I have not it works and looks awesome

[@djmervizzzy]

@@bickybickford thank you!!!

[@Antimonkat]

The 32" and 42"monitors are probably harder to produce (and as a result potentially lower yields) because they have tighter pixel densities. This in turn also means it is harder to dissipate heat due to their close proximities and less surface area, so different and likely better cooling systems need to be developed and implemented, plus general supply and demand, they will sell less then the larger tv's and have them sold in fewer places so you have an economy of scale benefit for the larger tv's. And then there is refresh rate, most tv's are 120hz max, the G4 is 144 apparently, A lot of your gaming oleds are 240hz+ as high as 480hz, which is going to require a really good processor too. Keeo in mind a lot of oled monitors aren't even 4k, which is a counter argument to their increased price and manufacturing complexity, so you're paying more for less resolution which stings even more, but some are, and you can see why they are a differnt product with differnt pricing. Lastly on the tech side, montors usually have display port, sometimes usb type c, power delivery, usb hubs, things their tv siblings don't, so maybe some of that is a factor...and don't forget the integrated RGB. Also there is likely an up charge, The panal people make the tv's or are at least sister companies, so they probably work out favorable supply prices, though thinking about it, LG and Samsung do actually make monitors, sony doesn't (outside of professional studio displays) but the likes of like Asus and Alienware may not be getting as good of a deal from LG display. I mean look at phone displays, and how much those cost to replace, relatively high percentage of size vs price. So any and all of that in adition to the "because gamer" upcharge are all relevent and likely componants of the price diffrence.

[@omnigamer]

My assumption on higher price of monitors is simply that they are subsidized less from premium integration of streaming services (remote buttons, etc). As mentioned in the video, they may also be up against different licensing and regulation costs vs TVs, inefficient mother glass cuts, or even just the technical requirements to drive frame rates higher than 120 Hz may just be at a premium.

[@telenikros]

PC monitors cost more because of the response rate can be as low as 1ms compared to TV response rate being 10 to 20ms response rate, so when the device reserves the image from a outside device, that is how long it takes before the image in shown on the screen. For movies, tv programs, working on windows apps, we don't notice it, where this response rate is noticed it's playing games. When you have a fps of 120 or 240 which the tcl 65 inch tv at 1080p can do, the frame can be a couple of frames behind on the tv compared to what is happening in the PC. So when you are playing GAMES, this can have a big effect, especially in multiplayer games, as a lot of people can have monitors with a 1ms response time and you may have a monitor or tv with a 20ms response time.

[@phipsi3922]

I guess oled monitors are so expensive because of the scale of the production. TVs just sell much more units so the cost per unit goes down. Also Oled monitors are a much newer segment so you are paying an early adopter tax and they are the highest end of gaming monitors right now. So there will be a premium for that as well. That being said the prices seem to be coming down as more manufacturers are releasing models and new higher specs appear (so the not so high specs are coming down in price).

[@Supperconductor]

Thanks for the heads up on the LG C3 sale. I never thought I'd be able to get into OLED let alone a 77" model. We have been watching a 55" TCL 4K TV with no local dimming for 6 years waiting for the right time to for prices to get low enough for our budget. The LG is giving us some of the same experience our old JVC RS-10 projector provided. It was totally worth the wait!

[@LeezahB]

[@TheMonkdad]

I’m 60 yo and have lived through black and white snowy broadcasts through 1080p. What I notice is that although the image is technically improved with every iteration my brain simply gets used to the “stunning image” pretty quickly and I’m fine not having 4K or 8k. I’ve had my 65” HD tv for probably 14 years and when it goes I’ll most likely go 4K just because they’re pretty cheap and not because the image is stunning.

32" 4k monitors are twice as fast offering 240hz. As far as I am aware there is no 4k 55" OLED TV that offers more than 120/144hz

[@yonkocommander5531]

4k 240hz TVs are feasible but the only people taking advantage would be rtx 4090 users so what’s the point

[@ElmorQuistin]

Well the reason for 240hz is to give the user best experience for fast moving games which are fps games. On the contary not a single person would play fps games on a 55" tv thus no reason to produce 240hz tvs.

It seems to me that 8K QLEDdisplays combined with upscaling processors are the way to go. Content bandwidth transmitted in 2160p max is enough if your TV can make it 8K, and possibly even 16K down the road for ultrapremium displays that would end up killing MicroLED quite possibly

[@tornadotj2059]

If remember correctly the 88" 8K LG panels don't even have MLA. So a 8k oled would be worse picture quality and brightness wise compared to the 4K They where already a step behind in brightness due to the pixel aperture ratio. A G4 might be about 2x brighter with hdr highlights and 50% full screen white that's quite a bit. If I also remember correctly the 97" 4K also does not have MLA yet. I really hope they come with a update in the future I would consider a 97" MLA if the prices come down more.

Do OLED monitors have more optimal led layouts vs TVs so that text is sharper, or are they all coming off the same factory line? I assumed so, this commanding the higher price.

[@siracusa]

Regarding OLED TV vs. monitor pricing, here's one more possible factor. A 32-inch OLED gaming monitor is a high-end gaming monitor, both in size and screen technology. A 55-inch OLED TV, on the other hand, may not be considered a "high-end" TV. High-end products can fetch higher margins, which leads to higher prices. (Yes, a 55-inch LG G4 is a high-end TV, but there are many more 55-inch OLED TVs available for much lower prices. Also, I'd wager that, at $2,500 MSRP, a 55-inch G4 costs more than most 32-inch OLED gaming monitors.)

[@RealLifeTech187]

I think the reasons for monitors being more expensive is that a 32" 4K has the same ppi as a 65" 8K TV. And it has double the frame rate compared to TVs at 240 Hz while fewer get sold so less economies of scale for R&D recouping and so on. Edit: And prices don't only depend on cost but also willingness to pay by consumers.

[@JerryLoffelbein]

Gonna guess that OLED monitors are more expensive because: They're still a niche product in the sector. Many of us are still concerned that they'll die or degrade quickly unless you treat them like egg shells, and it's suggested you don't use one for mixed productivity and entertainment because of those caveats Many have higher refresh rate capabilities (240-360Hz compared to 60-120Hz of TVs). That more often than not is down to different panels, so they can't be compared apples to apples nVidia, VESA and AMD licensing (VRR & panel capabilities) isn't cheap, but pretty much needed for high end monitor panels A lot are curved panels which can complicate things, but probably nowhere near as much as the others

[@chrisjohnson7255]

Thank you for mentioning the upscale issue with 8k, I already have enough issues with DVDs on a 4k! However I’ve heard that 8k can actually scale DVDs better is this true, can you test it for us?

The human eye will eventually be the thing that is the determining factor in resolution. Because of this going beyond 4k and 8k is just useless because the human eye will come to a point where it can no longer tell the difference. We need to stop allowing industry to try to pump us with new tech.

8k is just useless for most people. On 55 and 65 inches you can't tell the difference from any normal viewing distance even if there was content. And even 4k content is still not that common (or expensive) and heavily compressed if streamed. Higher bitrates or better compression would be a much better step to take before going to 8k. 4k blu rays (and 1080p blu rays for that matter) look insane on 4k tvs because the content actually gets the bandwidth it needs to look great. The 4k on Disney+ also looks great but the 1080p is pretty average streaming quality.

I suspect the reason OLED monitors are more expensive is because they don't/can't collect and sell as much of your data on the monitor through built in "smart" functions, so they don't make much ongoing income after the initial sale.

[@DudeGamer8]

You probably suffer internet slow down at some point due to fair use policy from your internet provider if you own an 8K display, I for one purposefully avoid 4k and only get 1080p display for the living room because I don't want to risk internet slow down for work and other important usage like making payments online, buying air ticket etc. You don't really need anything more than 1080p for normal consumption (kid watching cartoon, occasional sports and news) in the living room imo.

[@sullydee2237]

where are the 150 inch tvs they talk about for years at ces

[@alastairward1095]

Surely you're missing the fact that 8K TVs have much higher power consumption. In the EU they changed the scale for power to encourage manufacturers to reduce watts and this is why 4K TVs come in Auto Power Save mode over here. My guess is that 8K TVs would ruin the manufacturers' environmental performance if they were sold in huge numbers and they would face huge EU fines perhaps??

Thank you for agreeing to my point I made in your last video on 115" TCL TV. I.e., why 8K wouldn't look better for low-res contents on larger screen due to upscaling limitations.

[@AK__Productions]

65" is too small for real cinema experience. Even 77" is too small. I will stick to the projectors for a while.

[@barro32]

Oled monitors tend to have higher refresh rates than TVs maybe that's why they're more expensive per inch?

[@beaumac]

Premium PC consumers are willing to over pay for the smallest of upgrades. It’s just premium pricing and no other reason why the monitors cost so much more.

[@damirsencar3038]

Why are PC monitors more expensive, maybe because other components which are used to make input lag smaller, just for gaming.

Ah Sketches of Spain. Came out a month before I was born. Pure luck I recognize it. Saw Miles in NY back in the mid 80’s. Good vid on 8k. 👍🤪🏳️‍🌈

Thank you for trying to answer. And thanks for not slaughtering my name.

Sorry but that Jacob Roach gentleman, tends to be more personal opinion that clear fact based with most of his reviews, not sure if its his age and just being put in a fortunate position or if he's your average.....dude who's as typical given an opportunity even though he lacks industry and hands on experience outside of being a 90's baby who knows some about video games and had a parent who might of being an engineer.

Aren’t Smart TVs cheaper than monitors because manufacturers offset Smart TV prices with the revenue generated by ads and third parties on the smart tv… plus the personal and usage data collected?

[@veilmontTV]

240hz is the reason 32 inches is worth it. Tvs top out at 144hz

[@Pallidus_Rider]

32" OLED monitor is more expensive than a 55" TV because it is a much denser screen.

[@thelegitimatenoob1]

Apart from the 200hz refresh rate difference, I dont think there's any real benefit to an oled monitor over a tv!

[@GalvatronTypeR]

Monitors are more expensive than televisions for a simple reason. PC gamers are willing to pay a huge premium to upgrade their rigs so if customers show they will overpay, they will be overcharged.

[@alanclark9000]

This is a good question. Why are we paying $ 4k $ for a 4k? 4k honestly, just stupid, we should be watching 6k by now.

[@ClaytonMacleod]

No. Since you can’t even see all the pixels on that 4k TV by TCL that’s 115” from a couch 8 feet away from it, 8k will never be useful outside of a theatre. Nobody is ever going to be able to afford, or want, a 240” TV sitting 8 feet away to make use of all of those pixels. You need to go substantially beyond 120” to even begin making use of some of them. No point in any 8k home hardware. Eyes aren’t good enough for it. Nobody’s eyes. Physically can’t see them. It’s dumb.

[@ClarenceBaloyi]

I suppose one would buy an 8k tv to future proof their tech since average consumers don't buy tvs every year

[@Utubeisazzho]

oled monitors more of a demand, price goes up

[@CaptainScorpio24]

8k... will meet yuh in 2034 😊

Never buying a TCL. Never!

Explain

@@bradenkelly1462terrible quality. Consistent experience with all TCL tvs I’ve used.

[@StevoHDA]

TCL should make 8K TV's because they've forgotten how to upscale.

[@boofheadschannel7146]

Maybe in 10 years it will be worth it

[@rohanchooramun7288]

Hello!! Oled monitors are 240hz and 360hz probably obvious why its expensive. Tvs are still much brighter though.
