sepheronxI could go for that

mb194dcI have the 558m1ry in my living room connected to HTPC, was on offer at scan couple of months ago for 900. It's pretty usable as a normal PC screen sitting 4 or 5 feet away. Didn't want OLED as concerned about screen burn in normal PC use.

Older model doesn't have HDMI 2.1 though and even on DP 1.4 can't do 120hz 10bit 4k, 98hz max at 10 bit due to cable bandwidth limit.

n-sterIs this just one size? The LG OLED @48" seemed like a size that's more manageable, though it looks like there isn't much benefit between the CX and C1... This looks like a sweet alternative, especially if it's priced at 1600$ Canadian, which would be equivalent to 1300$ US

lynx29fair enough, burn in is in issue for PC. I think if one were to just do console gaming though, OLED is fine. I am hoping to get an OLED 55" in 1-2 years and a PS5 on the same day... its a couple years away though still.

TardianWho is gaming at 4K @ 120fps? How? Is it materially better than 1080p @120fps? My OLED TVs can do 4K @ 120fps, but I can't get a PS5, and suitable GPUs are priced ridiculously due to mining.

R-T-BI haven't really had an issue with standard PC usage and burn in on my b9, with just common sense like dark mode and a screensaver.

The bigger issue with LGs is they are presently suffering from freesync related near black flicker. It's sad.

lynx29even the CX models suffer from this freesync flicker? @nguyen has a CX, can you confirm when you enable gsync/freesync you get flickering issues?

nguyenThe only problem with my CX is that watching movies on PC and fullscreen, there is some stutter that happen infrequently, maybe 24hz is just outside the comfortable range of VRR.
This doesn't happen with the Netflix app on the TV

ValantarNow could they please get their thumbs out of their proverbial rear ends and release the 32" 4K monitor they announced at... was it Cpmoutex last year? Yes, it was officially delayed to get HDMI 2.1 support, but it was re-announced at CES this year. That's quite a while ago now.

lynx29LG fixed this in the C1 models, there is a new mode for watching 24hz content on the C1 models the CX doesn't get.

He has timestamps if you view it on YT:

ChomiqThere's no "fixing" the stutter on any modern TV without some sort of motion interpolation (and that's what LG is doing with C1 and G1 with the "new" preset that has very minor SOE). You could still probably achieve similar results with USER settings on older models. Stutter is worse on OLEDs because their pixel response is much higher, slow response of VA helps clean it up a little. I think only CRTs and plasmas handled it better.

ChomiqThat monitor was initially announced back in September 2019.

Last update we had has announced the HDMI 2.1 support together with new release date set to "early 2021". I guess we're already past this date and there's been another delay.

329M1RV was released in China but unlike 328M1R it is IPS instead of VA and has 400 nitts max brightness instead of 600 nitts.

ValantarThey might use some sort of frame doubling tech, i.e. running 24Hz content at 48Hz (which is definitely within the VRR range). Should be trivial to implement with zero downsides. Displaying the same frame twice in a row isn't hard.

Yeah, it's been ages. I distinctly remember reading a press release from CES 2021 mentioning Q1 2021, but they seem to have scrubbed every trace of that off the internet, and the only thing left is "early 2021", which is of course also long gone. 329m1rv only has HDMI 2.0 btw, which is a deal breaker for me. I'm guessing there are supply chain component shortages (HDMI 2.1-compatible display controllers would be a likely culprit, seeing how there aren't many of them, they are in demand among TV makers, and they likely need a relatively new process node), but the least they could do is make an announcement.

Of course the Viewsonic Elite XG320U is similarly delayed, as seems to be the case for the Acer monitors announced ... last fall?

The near complete lack of HDMI 2.1-compatible monitors this long after consoles and GPUs supporting the connector arrived is damn depressing. And them sticking a DP port and USB(-C) hub into a 55" TV isn't really improving things.

lynx2955" LG OLED only costs $1349 these days. better off with that imo. it enhances the gaming experience.

Franzen4RealI have to agree. For me, there is no going back to LED in the foreseeable future. Especially this monitor for the price they are asking.



I think you can eliminate the large majority of burn in related issues being mindful of static images with high brightness and also certain colors. I use dark mode and an autohide task bar, along with Wallpaper Engine for my desktop back ground to try and avoid as many static pixels as possible (combined with the tv's built in screensaver). Also consider the panel tech and the tv's software for mitigating burning/image retention will advance as each new generation is developed. No issues as of yet on a CX, but then again I do not clock high hours of continuous game play on a regular basis on that set up.

ChomiqOn top of that those that are announced cost as much or even more than a 48" C1 OLED.
