BenQ Announces 48-inch Mobiuz OLED Gaming Monitor and More at Gamescom 2022

[MarsM4N]

48", 16:9, flat screen, €1999. Guess there is a market for everything.
The only use case I see in it is if you wanna hook up a console. But for that cash you could get a way bigger OLED TV plus save quite some bucks.

Didn't read anything about a burn-in warranty, so there is that.

Seems to be a pattern where anything OLED is only on enormous screens.

These repurposed TVs don't work well as desktop monitors. That's not just my experience and opinion, it's echoed by quite a few reviewers.

If you have built yourself a PC/console gaming cave that's effectively a second living room just for PC gaming but big enough that you're sitting in an armchair/sofa at some distance from the screen, then they would be great for that. For everyone sitting at a desk, it's likely too big. Even if you love buying ridiculously large displays like me, you'll have limits that you don't know you had until you try it.

Honestly, go and sit so close to your living room TV that you have to move your head to see the corners. Now try to ignore how distorted the image is when you have such an off-angle view of the image. You couldn't do it, right? Yeah. If a screen is so large that you need to move your head to see the extremities, it also needs to at least be angled in towards you so that it's actually facing you.

The panel itself there is made by JOLED, not LG.

For a trembling floor.....

I have the EX2780Q, it trembles the room!

sounds better than some $25 speakers.

Can they just make OLED smaller now plz?


We need the 27 and 32" sizes covered, not ultrawides or 40" and above ;(

They do, but the cost in the thousands to tens of thousands.

Wha..? These are all 16:9 and all measurements are diagonals...

Both monitors and TVs are measured diagonally. And these are all same aspect ratio, 16 : 9, none of them is ultra wide or anything similar.

These are exactly the same LG panels as OLED TVs, and they are charging more for… Nothing, useful, really.

All these OLED monitors also have a bit of a sharpness problem since they’re not using the RGB sub pixel layout, so smaller text always looks a bit fuzzier than it would on “real” monitors. Not really a problem if you’re just using it as a gaming display, but it’s not perfect as a working monitor, even if you get used to a bit strange setup due to size.

My bad - all the other press releases about monitors recently have been ultrawides, like the bendable monstrosity

Ended up getting a LG C1 OLED 55" for my TV and holy heck is it good. Way better than any other display I ever seen. I also paid like $1400 CAD for that C1. This monitor is way more expensive for 48". OK, maybe less response time than my LG TV but I dont really notice any difference. I also get 4 HDMI 2.1 ports. How many on this?

I am happy they are moving to OLED. But the price has to also be competitive too. Otherwise, why pay more for a 48" when I can get a 55" TV of the same tech and use it as a monitor? So many are already doing it as is.

Maybe I am retarded when it comes to TV and Audio tech but yeah, too expensive. If it was like $1K CAD then I wouldn't complain.

I'm doing a 55-inch 4k OLED TV and 2 1080p 32-inch monitors in portrait mod on each side. Going to be epic.
