JOLED Announces OLED Panels for PC Monitors, Expected to Hit the Market in 2019
JOLED, a Japanese Display, Sony and Panasonic group, has announced new OLED solutions for PC monitors that are expected to enter the market in 2019. While OLED has become ubiquitous in both high-end smartphones and TV's, some of the technology's quirks (read: burn-in) mean that it has some more problems that need addressing compared to the other, more traditional display panel technologies. That's likely one of the reasons OLEDs are taking so long to enter the PC monitor market, even though some of their characteristics (such as the fact that the announced JOLED models can features repsosne times of 0.1 ms) are naturally gamer-appealing.
The market entries will start small, with 21.6" diagonals in both 1080p (geared for gamers in partnership with Japanese e-sports team Burning Core) and 4K (which should make its way to the market inside ASUS' Proart PQ22UC. For some reason, there's apparently a 27" panel that's being developed specifically for smart home applications, instead of for the gaming crowds. Go figure.

...which is why I have a 4k SUHD monitor.
TN = gamma shift / coronas
IPS = BLB / IPS glow
VA = ghosting / coronas / black crush.
OLED = burn-in / small screen / 1080p.
... unless the screen is 1" away from your eyes, in a very-high-end VR headset.
In that specific application, 8K oled would look absolutely gorgeous, and with the proper lens make it appear bigger than a cinema screen.
Would definitely dig such a device ! (Too bad it will probably cost as much as a small car)

As for OLED computer monitor, I'm quite sure that plenty of people will jump on them even with the risk of burn-in, because existing techs (TN/IPS/VA) are ancient already and all have significant drawbacks.
Perhaps they solved the burn-in for the average lifetime of the display (Up to 5 years)... who knows?
Never understood why people complain about getting better stuff or about progress in general.
There are 13" ultrabooks with 4K screens, tablets with retina displays, 2K/4K smartphones and so far everyone is happy.
Back in a day 1080p was "too much", and 16:9 widescreen was "ugly and impractical". Yet, both became the norm in a couple of years.
Also, it's a matter of individual taste and individual's perception. For example, I can tell the difference between 24-28" 2K and 4K monitors from few steps away, but I can't feel any super-noticeable difference between 60, 90, 120 or even 144Hz. Some people have it backwards - good sense of framerate, but can't see any difference past certain PPI.

I guess they call it "QLED" now but when it first came out Samsung's quantum products were called SUHD.
QLED is backlit like a traditional LED screen but uses 10 bits per pixel rather than 8 giving you a 25% larger range of color in each pixel and darker blacks. OLED doesn't use a back-light and instead each pixel is individually "lit" allowing a greater range of color and true-blacks.
Theoretically OLED should be better but I've used both side by side and QLED looks better to me.

I agree. The QLED monitors looked as good as OLED to me. Samsung has a small range of QLED monitors, and I would have one on my desk right now except for one thing. They are all curved monitors and I dont like curved monitors. I dont understand why Samsung doesnt offer a standard flat screen version of QLED.
I think flat QLED monitors. would sell like hotcakes.
With LGs WOLED burn in isn't really an issue. I'm approaching 2000 hours now on the TV and there's nothing. These screens mention the use of a color filter, so I imagine they are using a similar tech (RGB OLED to produce white light then pass it through a color filter) versus direct RGB/Pentile panels which should show similar durability.
If they can produce a ~$1200 34" model, I'd be one of the first in line.
Then again if durability is still a problem why even bother? I have 23.800 hours on my HP LP2475W and still going strong.
A screensaver will not save you. Browse the web for 4 hours, say hello to the Windows start menu pattern growing stronger every time...There is, but they stopped making them. Plasma screens. Amazing tech but crazy energy hungry... and could not be scaled past 1080p.
But yeah, emissive techs always look better as a general rule...
