OLED Monitor Shipments Predicted to Soar by 323% in 2023; 2024 Shipments Expected to Surpass One Million Units

They were already teased last year, and this year at various events. And we finally got... 27" OLEDs for the price of 55" TVs...

So I doubt I'll jump on a bandwagon very soon.

Also, image retention / burn in is still a thing, even with the best panels. It's just the industry is paying more and more influencers telling us it's not a problem / there's something wrong with our usage if we get it...

I think people need to shift their thinking about this. Burn in is not really a problem with WOLED, its all about even wear. I use an active background on my OLED which i work from home and have been using for 2 years now with no burn in at all.

Would love to get an OLED but unfortunately all the current models on the market have a subpixel layout that isn't ideal for text rendering on windows. A bit worried about burn-in as well as Tim from HWUB has seen some image retention on his OLED. RTings published a video on the topic showing that most OLED image retention can be fixed by manually running a refresh cycle but over time a bit more can be retained.

That was for a specific type of image retention caused by voltage drift on a specific component. Burn-in has no fix.

When I was looking to get a new panel (Thank you work for the $250 office upgrade) I had the chance to get OLED for MINI LED VA. There were 3 things that made me go MINI LED.

1. Perceived burn in
2. Low Brightness
3. Power draw

Until I see improvements I probably won't pull the plug on OLED.

OLED is amazing not going to lie, I've been waiting awhile to get a dedicated OLED monitor. I had been using my 55" LG C9 since it's release with my Xbox and PC gaming. No issues with burn-in or any kind of screen retention. Just checked this last weekend, I did find about 18 dead pixels spread out randomly on the screen. Starting to get tired of PC gaming with wireless keyboard on the couch though.
I just ordered the Samsung Odyssey G9 OLED 49" $1,340. It was expensive but I have been waiting several years to upgrade my monitor and other PC components so I figured why not splurge.

Now just waiting for GPUs to come down a little bit in price looking at 7900 XTX or 4080 hoping they come down to like $800 - $900...
