Holy hell. This is so goddamn cool. As someone who deals with 32 bit images a lot in the form of HDRs for 3D rendering, you could practically see the entire dynamic range of the image with this monitor. You know you’re getting close to being able to replicate the entire dynamic range of even the human eye when you have to avert your gaze to let your eyes adjust to the brightness. Like imagine being in a game in a relatively dimly lit room. You get knocked out in-game, the screen fades to black, and then you’re blinded suddenly with an extremely bright image. You wouldn’t have to do the thing where the screen is white, and then gradually simulates your eyes adjusting for brightness by slowly lowering the exposure. You could actually let the viewers eyes doing the adjusting by themselves. Would be so immersive

As someone who does a bunch of VFX and real-time work for movies this would be perfect. Currently just running a bunch of LG 32UN650's which do a great job for their price.

The 3090 is useless for gamers. Just a waste of money. The 3080 Ti provides the same performance for less money. And the regular 3080 provides just a little less for way less money.

--- The more nits you the better the chances the display / screen has fighting against "backlighting(?) / glare" ( be it the sun or otherwise brightly lit environment ). Some people simply just don't have the luxury of darkening curtains and dark-wallpapers and the possibility to locate the desklamp to be behind the monitor / are at the mercy roof-hanging-lamp. ---

[@ygny1116]

I was like you until I started gaming in 1500 nits HDR where I can feel the warmth of sunlight in game, I cannot go back to SDR they look so washed out, your eyes will adjust also most pixels in HDR is around 100-200 nits it is just the specular highlights that can go up to 1500 nits, in dark scenes HDR will have overall lower brightness than SDR because of local dimming.

[@TheGospon]

Finally some tech youtuber mentioning game devs :D With my old indie team i was only one with proper screen (ROG PG279Q), so every piece of art was reviewed on my screen first before making its way into ptoject... oh boy was it messy to work like that. Now that team is sadly disbanded but new team approached me so wish me luck in that one :)

[@tcc1234]

120hz has become more common in the competitive scene. Whatever said, people still prefer 240hz for the highest competitive advantage...

[@SpunkyGo0se]

It's insane, 120Hz should DEFINITELY still be considered as high refresh-rate. Most people have never even had the chance to try it.

[@smew0569]

like now I own 240hz monitor but back in the day i had my old laptop monitor overcloacked to 129hz. It had core 2 duo and some nvidia 200gpu. It was such a huge advantage in games like geometry dash and osu. I just wanted to point out how fast everything evolved and 144hz is a standard, but okay xD

The PG32UQX was the biggest tech let down ever. I bought one and it was riddled in stuck pixels and the worst blooming I’ve ever seen. Returned it and got a second one. Again riddled in stuck and dead pixels. Thought the blooming was a defect but it wasn’t. I have the PG27UQ, so I know that blooming is a thing but on the 32” it happens even in light scenes. Brutal

@@flushroyal970 No, peak brightness is not that important for pros. Sustained brightness is more important, and this manages to get much higher sustained brightness than the ipad due to active cooling. Also, this is colour calibrated, whereas you can't even calibrate an ipad. Not to mention the ipad's limits.

The 16 series cards take hdmi 2.1 for anyone willing to compromise on a card. As long as most of your computer is used for cpu tasks, a 1650S would take care of a 4k120 desktop

im sorry, but a 1650 super? at 4k 120hz? are you high?

[@zgoaty9235]

@@springpanda9393 I mean it’s doable I guess if you’re running more lightweight games or, like Lunoboi said, doing more CPU driven work but need the extra operation smoothness when on the desktop. That said, I personally would not use a 1650 Super for 4k/120 (also Turing only has HDMI 2.0 ports which also include the 16 series along with the 20 series. Now if you were to use a DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 cable/converter then I could see it being feasible with Turing GPUs). Edit: The only HDMI 2.1 spec that was brought to the 16 and 20 series GPUs was VRR (variable refresh rate). Other than that, you’re not getting 4k/120 Hz without some serious chroma subsampling.
