Philips Momentum, The World's First Monitor Designed for Xbox

I 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.
No amount of software can overcome issues like static icons or UI elements - pixel shifting won't help when the static elements are 100+ pixels in size. Unless, of course, you're willing to accept those elements being auto-dimmed, which will make everything look like a mess, undermining the value of the OLED. WOLED goes a long way towards mitigating burn-in, but it still isn't perfect.

On top of that those that are announced cost as much or even more than a 48" C1 OLED.
Yeah. The great thing about the Momentum and the Viewsonic is that they're expected to be relatively affordable (IIRC ~$600). I don't want a 48" monitor, especially one that acts like a TV (i.e. doesn't switch off when the PC goes to sleep etc.), but I'm not paying more than a 48" premium OLED TV for a monitor either.
 
While I thought about that, this tv is cheaper here in Canada than the LG is. By like over $500

500 isn't very much, especially for a miner like you making them bucks. might as well enjoy pure high quality image for the extra 500 what else is currency for after all?

Lol. Fair enough.
