Those people were high or coping hard tbh. First time playing on 144 Hz after only seeing 30 or 60 blew my mind. Gotta be honest, I've never had that feeling again. 240 Hz LCD and 360 Hz OLED both feel like very tiny jumps to me from 144-180 Hz compared to jumping from 60 to 144.

[@GewelReal]

wouldnt putting dp 2.1 on the monitor fix the issue regarding dsc? why wouldnt they just do that?

[@eliadbu]

if you want completely eliminate DSC, you need DP 2.1 with 80Gbit/s link (what is called UHBR 20), there are limitations for such speeds with cables currently reaching about 1.2 meters max, and support from GPUs is non existent other than some professional level AMD cards, plus DP 2.1 scalars are not cheap. So there are good reason why not bother right now with DP 2.1 - in several years, sure there will be better compatibility with cables and GPUs, but right now - it is useless. When DP 2.1 will be more mainstream we will see more monitors with it.

I disagree about the blanking length with BFI. Yes, a shorter pules gives more clarity, but the monitor still needs to be usable. Even on my 120hz Samsung QLED TV it's just barely bright enough to be useful with BFI enabled. Cutting brightness in half should be the industry standard for BFI, but in a perfect world yes these devices should be able to overdrive the pixels to 400% with a 1/8th frame pulse (still half brightness but I'm not asking for miracles).

[@adriano71011]

nice monitor but i'm saddened ASUS (and everybody else too) refuses to experiment with "per pixel row" BFI which should be 100% achievable with self-emissive pixels like OLED and would give us 480Hz with BFI on since every other row of pixels would flash to black while the other stays on

[@laughinginthe90s]

I feel that you are not nearly hard enough on VRR flicker. Adaptive sync is fundamentally compromised as a feature: in scenarios that it's ideal (variable frame rates significantly below hz) it's rendered unusable. I had to return my 360hz oled because I had a 60 hour headache. I was running quake at 250fps locked, and still had unusable flicker/eye strain. That's with sub-1ms frametime variance! No GPU/CPU purchase can reach better frame time variance than that in modern games like cs2

Additionally, shrinking the refresh range helps with menu flicker, but does not address flicker seen in normal gameplay

You're never gonna get 4k 480fps consistently. Ain't ever happening without competitive settings and on very few games. Valorant 1% dips to 300 at 4k with 4090. You can be sure that 6090 will dip to at least 360 even with all it's power. CS2 dips to 200 Apex Legends only supports up to 190fps and 240 effective FPS. Warzone dips to 80s and 50s 0.1% RB6 and OW2 are the only 2 games that can keep 400+fps with 4090 at 4k competitive settings. 4k 480 or 540hz will be really hard to master and it has to be 2k+ for 1 panel + 1k for brand naming.

@@eugenijusdolgovas9278 4k 480hz is possible right now on any released 4k oled, its just matter of using dp 2.1 but yea they will prob overprice it. Also frame generation, 480hz is just to have versatility on panel so you can play any game on it basically ( ideally would be 8k which can switch to 4k 480hz so you basically have 10 year futureproof).

At least they are acknowledging it now but I've been complaining to LG for a year now. I cannot enable VRR in Rocket league since going into any menu or even opening the scoreboard it flickers and my eyes fatigue much quicker to the point of headaches. This is not QoL anymore this is a health issue for me. I just deal with the tearline now but I really shouldn't have to. I should be able to set a VRR range manually.

[@willwunsche6940]

I returned the 4K 32 inch 480hz LG due to lower brightness/uncertainty and I slightly regret it. Was a very good monitor. 480hz is AT LEAST twice as good as 240hz imo, not due to response time or latency but motion clarity. The difference it makes for a eSports title player like me in Overwatch is breathtaking. I expected the picture quality to be the bigger upgrade from my Samsung G7 Odyssey QHD240hz but the motion clarity was actually more impactful. But I want to wait for a monitor that is a little bit better or for the prices to go down and get an even better sale than the one I originally got so I ended up returning it. This is another big option I am considering but I am so used to 32 inches now even as someone that loves playing a lot of eSports titles too. 4k is addictive too and my 3080 did pretty well with it but stuff like Halo Infinite was not great. This having qhd instead of 1080p for that mode is enticing too

[@EditioCastigata]

Development didn’t stop, displays get better. You’ll be entering the market later, is how I think about it. Trying out QD-OLED and WOLED recently, SDR brightness was not good enough for me too. QD’s color fringing I found irritating, as if I had bad glasses with chromatic abberation; and white was just not white. Always a bit pink.

[@willwunsche6940]

@@EditioCastigata like the way you put it. I am curious how long it will be until more 32 inch WOLEDs will come out. Yeah the magenta tint on QD-OLEDs is definitely noticeable to me too. I was going into Best Buy to look at them. I lean towards WOLEDs due to that and the 480hz motion clarity but want both to be brighter. I think the Switch OLEDs 343 nits is a good minimum to target for uniform brightness. The Steam Deck OLEDs 600-1000 nits and my S22 Ultra's 1200-1750 nits are godly and definitely show me the potential for how hard they can push someday.

[@kirasmith1147]

can you test this monitor @480hz but on demanding games like hunt showdown or cyberpunk with no DLSS ultra, to force the game to get under 100fps, like 70-80fps cause i had many monitors, oleds, IPS, 144hz, 170hz, 240hz, 380hz, GYSNC on and off.. no matter what i had, as soon as the fps dips under 100fps and it goes 70-80fps, the whole game becomes choppy, screen tearing, not smooth at all, its really not enjoyable, and until know i dont know the solution for this issue.

@@iwantum The first two digits, i.e., the 25, 24 (or 27, 32 in other model numbers) are the display size in inches. They have nothing to do with the display tech, generation, etc. It's quite the norm for most monitor makers to put the display size in the name like that.

I will buy day one the first 480 HZ OLED Gsync Pulsar monitor. 480HZ+BFI+VRR on OLED with 4X persistence improvement would give you CRT motion clarity on a flat panel which is my dream.

[@hugevibez]

​​​@@chrissoucy1997It's not possible with OLED because backlight strobing is something completely different from BFI. The names basically describe the difference, and then specifically G-Sync Pulsar works by controlling the pulse width of the backlight to a specific pattern in line with the frame times. So the length of the strobe doesn't have to match the render frametime directly, but it still stays in sync. You don't have a backlight to pulse separately from the refresh rate on OLED. Maybe you could implement VRR with BFI in some other way, the limitation is the timing requirements are very precise and you can end up with uneven framerates, but I think the better way to hit this level of motion clarity on OLEDs is by capping the framerate and using a linear lagless frame interpolation technique (so 120hz becomes 240/480, 120hz because with a high input you get a better quality output) because of VRR flicker and just the benefit of a perfectly smooth framerate (which you can try right now with AFMF or Lossless Scaling minus the lagless, it's already a good idea for framecapped retro games and this monitor) Edit: and now I'm just yapping, but potentially a combination of frame interpolation and BFI could work around the VRR limitations. You can't have half frames but if you always run the display at native, then you can certainly display a render frame and an inserted frame at the same length as 2 half frames. I guess what I'm describing here is how some VR displays work already, but I wonder if they combine the 2 like I describe)

I was thinking for you next best monitors line-up, I'd be very interested in what you'd recommend for people that want a high end gaming monitor (high refresh, good colors, maybe HDR), but also use it for work. I think a lot of people that can actually afford these 1000$+ gaming monitors also regularly use it for work when they work from home. So then OLED burn in protection features, USB-c input, KVM switches, and perhaps even DP-out options for such monitors are actually pretty important as well. I wonder what you would recommend keeping those requirements in mind!

It was a super easy choice for me. I of course understand that professional gamers would pick this 480Hz monitor instead.
