VA Panel vs QD-OLED Panel - Which Technology is Right For You?

I'm not sure why the comparison is done between an old school VA panel vs a QD-OLED panel. The only worthwhile comparison here would be a miniLED VA panel vs a QD-OLED panel, then we can start talking about which is better and in what scenario.

[@patriciomateluna2223]

The comparison is between two of the same brand monitors. Also, modern VA monitors are really good in image quality and image response compared to old ones. Also, OLED monitors are really expensive compared to TV OLED monitors.

[@Kuriketto]

@@patriciomateluna2223 That gap in price has closed considerably this year, with last year's crop of OLED monitors now available for around $700 USD. Asus even has a new 27-inch 1440p OLED with a glossy coating for the same price last I checked.

[@TheQuebecerInFrance]

I agree but finding a good quality miniled monitor is not that easy. The best ones are surprisingly expensive.

[@Quiselott]

​@@TheQuebecerInFranceyou should probably say "unsurprisingly" in this context. Monitors are one of those niche items that manufacturers feel they can charge more than TV's for because they sell way more high-end TV's annually than Gaming monitors.

I like the CONCEPT of this video -- and you're the first I've seen take it on -- but it just seems like THIS VA panel wasn't really designed for HDR content. HDR is the WHOLE point of QD-OLED, so a competing VA panel should at least be ATTEMPTING to deliver a good HDR experience.

Certainly interesting. I've owned three VA panels - XG49VQ, XG27WQ & up until recently; the XG32VC. The best of the bunch was the XG27WQ - excellent image quality and a fast, responsive panel with little ghosting. The XG49VQ exhibited a little, yet the XG32VC was terrible for it. You really need to look a the panel on these units. I've just upgraded to the OLED PG27AQDM and it is absolutely incredible. Of all the monitors I've ever owned this blows them all away, zero contest.

The burn in is grossly over stated. Many people have been using them for years, even for productivity, and have had zero burn in. At this point its just mostly fear mongering. Unless you actively go out to try and get burn in, smart usage will likely not cause it. Btw even an IPS monitor can get image retention if you leave something up long enough, for example a task bar.

[@elevate38]

Good point on not having the need to warranty burn ins. What's the use of a 3-year warranty if 1 day right after the 3rd year you get burn in? Until the time that OLED tech is cheaper and then confident and mature enough to not have those new-tech kinks, even making you do rituals (pixel refresh lmao), better save yourself from some anxiety, stress, and money and just stick to ole reliables IPS or VA.

[@deuswulf6193]

@@elevate38 It's not a good point at all. Power Supply Units use Warranties to show their confidence in the product. The good ones list 10 years. The cheap ones 5 years, or none at all. Same is true for AIO coolers. If they believe the pump will last quite a long time, they will offer more than 1 year warranty. Most IPS monitors, including the top tier models only have 1 year warranties. By that logic they are worse than the OLEDs. A three year warranty, which includes burn in, is meant to show their confidence in the panel. 3 years is high for a monitor, not just OLED but all types. Try again.

In 27" there are a ton of mini-LED options with a VA panel, but in 34" the newest one is Viewsonic's XG341C-2K that costs $1500, has been out for going on 2 years and isn't worth the price.

I wish micro-LED was widespread already.

OLEDs struggle with brightness, burn-in, and perpetually high production cost. We're close though.

I think you should compare high-end VA Panels like the Samsung Odyssey lineup, you're comparing a cheap VA panel, rather than an expensive one, to an expensive OLED panel, which is obviously an unfair test. OLEDs still cannot compete in brightness. I think it is wrong to conclude based on middling performance from a VA panel, that the technology is inferior. If you have a preference for OLED, that's fine. But neither is really inferior to the other. I have both and prefer VA mini-LED, a good VA miniLED monitor is a better monitor for gaming and watching movies imo.

Some people need to be careful with the motion handling aspect. If your GPU/CPU are not driving fast enough frame rates, the OLED panels may expose a "sample and hold" motion blur effect that can be distracting. The pixel response time is so fast that the "motion blur" effect of IPS/VA panel isn't there and can expose this sensitivity to content that would otherwise look OK on the IPS/VA at around 60fps.

[@maxburmab7962]

[@deuswulf6193]

Even IPS displays can get permanent image retention. For example, many people, including myself, have seen the task bar get "burned" into their displays over time. If you treat the OLED right, the chance of burn in is incredibly low and you will likely replace the monitor with an upgrade before it happens. Most people with burn in issues either ignore the preventive measures built into the display, or constantly run them with peak brightness on and no sleep with inactivity. Text is not an issue with OLED, its not the best but not horribly bad either. Newer OLED panels have largely improved on that front. As for fans, only the Alienware models have them if I am not mistaken. The MSI model she is showing off in this video uses passive cooling, and no fans.

[@elevate38]

​@@deuswulf6193 funny how you have to babysit your expensive OLED monitor just because the tech isn't quite up there yet. Burn in happening is like having range anxiety in an EV. It might not happen but you'll keep on being worried that it might happen at one point (or two or three lmao).

[@deuswulf6193]

​@@elevate38 I don't have to baby sit it. Weak attempt at hyperbole btw. Its a matter of setting it up to work optimally in your favor, nothing more, nothing less. HDR kicks in for gaming, desktop mode for non gaming, inactivity puts it to sleep and during that sleep it automatically does a pixel refresh. Non OLED monitors are set up to do the same thing (with the exception of pixel refresh). If all that is too hard for you, then its an end user problem, and not a product problem. Expensive OLED? You can get a QD OLED ultrawide for the same price as some the non OLED monitors. $700-1000 is not expensive to me for a top of the line monitor. You are clearly ignorant about the current market. What it suggests to me is that you only buy the cheap stuff, and maybe that is what this is really about, envy.
