IPS vs VA vs OLED ?

Hi everybody, how you doing? :)

I'm looking to change my dual-monitor setup - each a 31.5" 2560x1440 75Hz IPS by Viewsonic - because I'm tired of looking at those bezels in the center. I thought about upgrading to a 49" 5120x1440 monitor, or downsize to a 3440x1440 monitor to reduce the amount of ...

Re: OLED and DIrect Sunlight



How serious is the issue of the sun degrading the organic materials of an OLED?

This is the first I've heard of such of a concern. Your source(s)?

OLED and DIrect Sunlight

How serious is the issue of the sun degrading the organic materials of an OLED?

I want to buy a new TV for the living room, would prefer an OLED over a MiniLED (use case is gaming and movies), but the TV gets direct sunlight for about 30 minutes every morning from the west. Long story, but curtains ...

Re: Doubt due to my ignorance.

Wait, what??

This looks like a big deal.

I was going to get an OLED TV, makes me wonder if Mini LED is going to be smoother.

Re: 120hz vs 144hz on an OLED TV



Is the limitation from the GPU, or from the actual HDMI port as opposed to Display Port ?

It's more of a choice on Sony's part to not support 144Hz or higher output, and not as much a limitation, per say; 120Hz is a far more common refresh rate for TVs, and the PS5 is a console, not a PC ...

PS5 Pro doesn't support 144Hz output, so it won't be able to take advantage of the extra 24Hz for 120 FPS games anyway; the TV will just fall back to 120Hz.

Re: 120hz vs 144hz on an OLED TV



Close the curtains :P

On a more serious note, you should look up the brightness of your current display on rtings.com at a specific brightness setting, and then try to match the maximum fullscreen brightness of the OLED (as reported by rtings.com.) Then you can judge for yourself if it's gonna ...

Re: 120hz vs 144hz on an OLED TV



Wait, the PS5 Pro doesn't support keeping the scannout frequency of the monitor at 144hz?

The scanout speed is tied to the physical refresh rate, so if the PS5 Pro doesn't support a physical 144Hz refresh rate output (it doesn't) , and only supports a 120Hz refresh rate, then the TV will be in ...

Re: 120hz vs 144hz on an OLED TV



how big is the difference is it between 120Hz VRR to 144Hz VRR when content runs at 60-120FPS (PS5 Pro rates)?

There should be zero difference in that scenario; PS5 Pro doesn't support 144Hz output, so it won't be able to take advantage of the extra 24Hz for 120 FPS games anyway; the TV will ...

120hz vs 144hz on an OLED TV

So, buying a TV for the PS5 Pro.

I learned here that having a higher Hz monitor does help with input lag and smoothness, because the scannout rate when using VRR benefits from the monitor's highest Hz. My question is, how big is the difference is it between 120Hz VRR to 144Hz VRR when content runs ...
