LG UltraGear Unveils the World's First 240 Hz OLED Gaming Monitor

[Camm]

Will any vendor finally introduce a new 5K line of monitors with 120/144 refresh rate? I'd like to see:
- 5120x2160 (21:9)
- 5120x2880 (16:9)
- 5120x3200 (16:10)

I mean... how many 3440x1440 one could possibly release...

5120:2160 would be god tier, actual 4k, in Ultrawide, with the cinematic 24:10 aspect ratio which is also great for side by side working with the extra vertical. OLED or MINI LED, don't care which. Oh, and a maximum curve of 1500R.

"Supports G-Sync" means that proprietary bazinga by NV, or simply "green blessing certification" over AMD's FreeSync-turned-standard?

Ok OLED tick, 240Hz tick, 45" instant fail. Why can't they make a 34" desktop monitor or better yet give me a 32" 4K that only does a lowly 120Hz, but is HDR1000/1400, 100% DCI-P3/AdobeRGB , delE < 2 and I'll be happier than a pig in sh!t.

They literally cannot make a 4k screen with that PPI OLED. It would have to be 1440p. They also cannot make it that bright for the same reason as the PPI without some major technical break throughs.

Ok OLED still in the dark ages. Wish micro-led weren't so damn expensive. Even the local dimming zone (576+ mini-leds) in 4K 32" cost a bomb. I was hoping by now we see some real progress.

Hang on we do have 4K 32" OLED monitors available now, but the problem is not ppi but refresh. 120Hz is still not available in 4K. Buit LG offer a 240Hz 27" OLED 1440p monitor, so why not offer this one in a 34", they have the same ppi to within a % or so. Oh and another thing ASUS has a new 16" OLED laptop screen at 3840 x 2400, so ppi can't be the issue.

Probably they're just rejects from the motherglass used to make TV's.

They can, they already have two of them at 27 and 32" OLEDs. Probably price is the issue, as those 2 cost a leg.

The thing is:
- 27" QHD is WRGB OLED panel that's manufactured by LG Display. It's used in LG, ASUS, ACER and DOUGH monitors.
- all 32" 4K panels available right are using true RGB ink-jet printed OLED panels manufactured by JOLED. All monitors using these panels are well over $2000, they are also limited to 60 Hz. There are doubts whether JOLED will continue to manufacture these panels as they're supposedly on a verge of bankruptcy due to low production yields.

For 32" high refresh rate there are only 2 options officially in development:
- AU Optronics' 4K 144 Hz and 8K 120 Hz panels - announced only, no details available
- TCL 4K 120 Hz ink-jet printed (officially 2-3 years away based on info from TCL rep at CES 2023, take it as 4-5 years). I suppose they're having even bigger issues with yields than JOLED if they're still minimum 4 years behind full scale production.

Good info! Thanks

Because each and everyone has his/her own screen needs and think they are universal.

Some want a 4K 27" flat, others a ultra widescreen 21:9 but with a 1440p lines (3440 x 1440), others a 32" 1440p OLED,...it's never ending.

I think having OLED 27" 1440p is what a lot on TPU asked for, it won't please anyone but it's all about pleasing the "MOST", creating a screen supply chain for each consumer's desires, impossibles.

Here that 45" screen, I don't know feels way more like a "call product", a demonstrator that only few will purchase rather than a viable LG solution..

Eh... I reckon that the "general population" that loves their 27-34" monitors have countless choices to pick from. 2k, 4k, 8k, curved, flat, bent, sideways, upside-down, in pink, rainbows, with flower scent, and bacon taste... You name it, you can probably find it.

But for those of us who want the "hardcore"(?) ultrawide-master-race stuff and are willing to pay the big bucks for... Eh. Simply 5k2k QD-OLED at at least 120hz in 38-40" isn't outrageous to ask for. Heck it doesn't even have to be OLED. Good quality IPS mini or micro LED will do the job. Or even 3840x1600, fawk it. But nope to all of the above. Just keep on waiting with my 21:9 monitor from like 7 years ago until a good successor eventually comes to finally replace it.

I disagree. They do not have the choice at all regarding panel technology: IPS or VA, regardless of the curvature, resolution or size...we are speaking of OLED here not a new format.

Ultrawide "master race" stuff is one thing but a 5K2K 40" QD-OLED it's going to be what ? 2000EUR minimum ? Do you really think it's sensible to focus on the handful of folks who will purchase this for a first batch of OLED ? Come on.

There are premium options in PC gaming stuff, it WILL come especially with the second generation of QD-OLED that was teased during CES 2023, patience, but it's normal to have a mass produced OLED panel focusing on general population, as you said, tons of "form factor" choice, but regarding the panels, not at all, always the same overpriced low-contrast crappy stuff full of backlight bleeding.
