You were upset a 1500 monitor didn't have speakers built in? What high end monitors do? The chapter ones do like 200 - 500 dollar ones, but they always sound like crap.

But love good quality monitors? Seems weird to love one thing but not care about something else as important.

@rorynolan2322 Жыл бұрын
I have the g8 because I wanted better functionality with console and pc so a 4k screen is more appropriate for that though you can still play console just fine on the oled being an ultrawide means you will have black bars on the side. Assuming that doesn't bother you having seen both in person and tested them from a pure picture quality and gaming on pc standpoint the oled is easily the winner. The g8 mini led is impressive with how much contrast it can do but it just can't complete on the pixel perfect light control of oled which even though the g8 can technically do brighter highlights it just doesn't look that way to you eyes. And the clarity given by pixel level control just can't be beat. If your sensitive to motion blur the oled also handily beats the g8 being an oled it just inherently has the near instant pixel response though the g8 is one of the best LCD displays in this regard. Viewing angles being an oled is obviously way way better of you care about that for a monitor that your going to be sitting directly Infront of the Samsung is using a va based panel so view angles are never going to be a strong point. With all this being said it sounds like I'm just shitting on the g8. I'm not it's a very good monitor assuming you get a good one. Probably one of the best displays you can get for the money. Actually good HDR displays have all being at least £3000 till this point and may well be the best "gaming only" 4k HDR displays right now there is also the neo g7 that's a bit cheaper and you only sacrifice the 240hz for 165hz instead. You can also actually buy the Samsung the Alienware you have to wait. There is that auas oled display but it's 42 inch wich may be a bit big for you but that also has awesome picture quality being an oled display as well
