That pursuit camera testing is very, very impressive. That's a huge gauntlet for a VA panel to get through, and it's put up a fight.DrUninstall wrote: ↑20 Jun 2020, 10:47New review:

I can confirm that different people perceive ghosting differently -- sometimes more sensitively, sometimes less sensitively.
Immersiveness, more so for simulator games.
QLED-based colour filter, VA panel.Besides that though, extremely interesting being a newb. I thought these were QLED panels, why are some saying VA here ? What is VA even ?
No, the 'limit' on GPUs is about 8k120Hz, but this is achieved via DisplayPort 1.4 with the use of Display Stream Compression (DSC), and requires a HBR3 cable (the fastest kind of DisplayPort cable at present).Another question I got is, I thought 2k @ 240hz was as much as current graphics cards and cables even can spit out ? Now the 49" version is like 5k x 1440 @ 240hz. Exactly what cable can support that and furthermore what graphic card ? I'm lost here.
I thought 4k @ 120hz is the limit right now ?
All that said, looks like technology is moving fast. I really want a 32" 4k monitor 16:9 240hz with 1ms input lag that is OLED or better quality. Seems to be right around the corner folks ! So the question is...again... what cables can support that and what graphics card ?
VA has better contrast (blacks are blacker) but poorer viewing angles, so as a gaming monitor it offers more, if response times are solid (and they are with these). Colour consistency isn't super important if you're not doing colour work on the monitor.And is this QLED technology really good ? Does it stand up past IPS ? Seems like a gimmick. The other issue is its proprietary to Samsung only. Definitely sense issues here ! lol
Yea I could see that. For me, its just too wide. Nothing even spits out a 32:9 image does it ? None of my games do. Never seen that option. No movies I know do. Don't really see the point. Wont non-32:9 content either look stretched or have black bars down the sides ? I just think its a touch ridiculous. I don't even see like that in real life, lol. I think 16:9 is a perfect sweet spot.
Ahh, got it. On their website it just says QLED.
Ok, good news. I've been asking this but no one can give me a straight answer. Can I ask you something - So I have a cable like that. I bought it as overkill. BUT it says 8k @ 60hz. But someone else told me to ignore descriptions and just go with speed transmission capabilities. Either way, I got a Vesa Certified DP 1.4 HBR3 cable. And I also got the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (and processor just as bad ass, brand new computer, windows 10 64, etc..) what are my limits with those things ? 8k @ ?, 4k @ ? 2560x1440 @ ?
This I knew, of course. But I was under the impression they were like 60hz.
Oh good to know about VA's. But I did read QLED was proprietary guess it was wrong, or its more like the name is Proprietary and the technology under a different name is just technology. ?? But either way, no sir, I definitely don't think IPS is king. I personally like OLED as it looks the best to date to me. Calibrates to true industry standards and is just best right now to me personally. But I did read the article to fill me in on other panels. Thanks for that.jasswolf wrote: ↑17 Jul 2020, 01:25VA has better contrast (blacks are blacker) but poorer viewing angles, so as a gaming monitor it offers more, if response times are solid (and they are with these).

QLED is not inherently proprietary to Samsung, that's just their marketing name for it. You seem to be coming from the click referral driven part of the internet that purports 'IPS is king' and 'colours are amazing on IPS', so I'd suggest you read something like this article to grasp the strengths and weaknesses of each technology.
HDR TVs are almost exclusively VA and OLED, and with good reason. The king for gaming is usually TN, but this new VA tech seems to surpass that. IPS has also caught up, and will be the first 360Hz technology, but ultimately all of these are stopgaps until MicroLED and/or QNED technologies, which deliver OLEDs strengths with almost none of its weaknesses.
