This monitor is almost 3k US. I don't think most of us are resisting new tech. We're simply used to pretending we can afford it

[@Zorieke]

Ive been thinking of getting a new panel, started to watch this video, half way through I started to wonder what the price tag on this beast would be, saw your comment (3k USD) and I was like... aum OK.. so I googled it and here in Sweden its like 40k-50k SEK so thats roughly 4-5k USD.

Jay the reason many of us complain about these supposed "high end" monitors isn't because it's simply $1500-$3000. The reason we say it's so ridiculous is monitors like ASUS PG32UQX being THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS and they are still TOO MANY "issues?/compromises?" even at that price. if I am paying $3000 for a gaming monitor. I expect PERFECTION. There shouldn't be ANY issues at $3000. The PG32UQX is a pile of pure trash at that price. Yes, most will only use the PG32UQX for PC gaming, but at $3000 they didn't include HDMI 2.1 48Gbps inputs? are you kidding me? at $3000 and I can't use it for 4k/120Hz gaming on my PS5? you "can" get 4k/120 for Xbox X if you lower chroma sub sampling down to 4:2:0 etc. Hell no. not at $3000. Who cares if it's 1600 nits bright if you can't use it to game on with anything other than a PC? $3000 and they can only squeeze 95% DCI? not 98+ ? Latency is 7.5ms at $3000 vs the Gigabyte FI32Q at 2.7 ? seriously? Sorry, but if monitor makers want to charge $1500+ there can't be compromises. It needs to be 99.99999999999% perfect and be calibrated to 100% color correct Out of the Box. At $3000 I should be able to game AND do content creation. THIS monitor is over $3000 and also only has HDMI 2.0 ports. NOT ACCEPTABLE. PERIOD.

[@fabs3159]

Thank you! All of the above plus I'd say a $3000 monitor should not be built on the same black dull plastic as a $100 Dell office monitor. This thing should be made of premium materials, and for this price I would expect it built entirely of aluminium. At least Samsung tried with their G9 monitor, which still costs less than half of this but actually looks good.

[@Zicrixdoesart]

Just for a frame of reference I guess 1152 dimming zones, assuming they're evenly divided, means each zone takes up a total of 7200 pixels, or a 120 x 60 rectangle. Pretty dang good, but still not as good as per-pixel dimming on oleds; and with the first qd-oleds being available at like half this thing's price, I can't help but wonder what the pricing of a 4k oled of this caliber will be

[@ian.williamson]

Yeah I’m surprised at the price of this when the new 34” qd-oleds are less than half the price. They are 1440p, but slightly higher refresh rate. I still stand by the fact that 4K is unnecessary with such a small screen size. Much rather have the qd-oled technology, although miniled is still pretty good.

[@anonymoustroll1549]

The QD layer improves colors and sometimes also brightens the colors which effectively improves the color volume as well as most of the colors gets absorbed in the polarizer. The dimming zones improves the black level in a scene. It is a physical layer that blocks out light to improve black level. But sadly IPS panels are not known for their contrast as their inherent raised black level ruins it but in this case MiniLED is pretty helpful I guess as they have much more dimming zones which can reduce blooming vastly and can achieve more black level.

[@robertweekes5783]

21:30 The panel should have about 236 sq. in. of area, divided by 1152, gets you 0.2 in^2 per backlit zone. So each dimming zone is about 0.45” X 0.45” (about the size of a fingernail). *5 zones per square inch*

So pleased you mentioned about the cables, and that it came with one. It's one component that's so overlooked.

It's also about the build quality of the cables. Super super cheap cables like the ones companies often bundle in will have a thin cord which puts the wires through more stress over time. That's fine for a static setup but if you're using it with a console or moving the PC around it's not ideal.

In several ways, CRTs were not just fine, they exceed LCD panels. The main problem was the geometric increase in volume, and therefore weight, when the screen size increased, leading to high expense. LCDs aren't superior, they're mainly smaller and cheaper for larger screen sizes.

[@denisruskin348]

They are better than everything outside 120Hz OLED panels. Even with those they also have “infinite” contrast and some better panels can get 100Hz easily. IPS and VA is inferior in every way but yes, CRT weight and bulky design just wasn’t cutting it no more.

[@Silmarieni1]

Power consumption and heat were an issue too.

[@shanez1215]

With modern display tech we're finally starting to beat CRT's in all categories though. CRT's have a lot of draw backs, power consumption, burnin, and lower brightness for example. Retro game pixel art was still made for CRT's though but that's another problem all together. CRT's do have wicked fast refresh rate support but that's not really needed, the main benefit is latency. But OLED is pretty low on latency.
