this will help you make a more informed decision
Is there such a gaming monitor that is 32", IPS, Curved, and 4K?
Or an expensive dream?
Thanks again
Oh, looks like there is… usually I only see VA panels in curved monitors. (edited)
Hard to find anything better priced than this.
Also if you are not afraid give a go for used monitors too. Many in good condition out there with nice price and much better specs. (edited)
Lenovo L32p-30 32 Inch 4K UHD (2160p) Monitor (IPS Panel, 60Hz, 4ms, HDMI, DP,USB Type-C, AMD FreeSync) - Raven Black amzn.eu/d/8…mmg
And for working cad at 4k it's amazing. Also probably the cheapest decent 4k monitor I've seen. Only 60hz, Depends what you're using it for I suppose.....
Local dimming gives OLED like blacks, gets bright enough to cause me discomfort in some situations
Only issue I've found is in scenarios like starfields you can see the blooming
Really solid monitor
First major niggle is the active cooling, those fans can get pretty loud and you can't help but focus your hearing on them when your essentially 'staring right at them' when sitting Infront of monitor and I feel over use and time they will just get louder (no real way to clean them out without stripping the whole screen), also with the heating and cooling the casing of the monitor creaks/rattles a bit
Second major niggle is still the worry of OLED burn in - the user of the Samsung managed to get some burn in 3 months in (tho Samsung replaced this just ok), the user of the Asus has an opposite complaint - the anti burn in local dimming is playing havoc with their art/design work software and colour matching (tbh would they rather have burn in ? lol)
In a year or so, their should be some better tech and better prices for OLED monitors in place

We saw that a few times with an eBay code, so if you won't use that much in a bright room, then wait for the next eBay code and maybe that will be back at a lower price again. (edited)
[edit] Does anyone have any experience with how burn-in might affect the longevity of the current OLED panel monitors out there? I want top-of-the-line so it will last, and a monitor with noticeable wear wouldn't suit that (edited)
Appreciate that they have different uses and price points, but I don't think my monitors are cutting it for accurate colour correcting/grading. (edited)
the OLED needs a con of will die early from screen burn just like plasmas/CRTs
would like a G2G on the monitors
if you want to play at 165 hz, you only need a panel with a response of under 6 m/s
Is supposed to be really good for £125
Was going for a retina mac display. Are any of these better please?thanks
1 ms is tricky, if you set up like that you loose a lot of brightness. But it can be possible. 5 ms is still perfect IMO. (edited)
Asus announced a new ProArt series 27 inch 1440p 144Hz few days ago, price and debut date are still in shadow. Think it is going to be more than 500 pounds anyway.
If you do not need that super accurate Pantone-validated monitors, you can grab a decent gaming IPS one. There are loads from BenQ, LG, Asus ViewSonic or even Lenovo.
I'm there there are some around but would take a while trying to find them and they are likely priced higher than most people would like to pay, being such a niche item. (edited)
I have dell 27 2k Monitor and it is edge lighting and panel is not dark it is grey dark if you know what i mean . "Glow everywhere " and this monitor act as my second monitor but look so old compare to mac mini led
In not looking for HZ but i need very good black level monitor is there any none mini led ?
I do know that OLED or mini led will do what i want , but maybe some monitor can do similar level black levels ?
VA panels have good black levels compare to ISP ?
If there is no monitor cheap with good black levels then I will buy LG 42 C2
Always used a tv for xbox but wouldn't be against using a monitor instead
From 32" upwards I'd say the difference with 4k is quite noticeable.
Ideally it would have a USB Type C port but am not fussed on that, I just want to replace the 2 1080p 24' monitors I have now with a single unit. (edited)
