When I heard about the 4k OLED 120Hz Dell monitor from last year, I immediately thought that that was the perfection of display technology for me.
OLED seems to have the best of all worlds:
- high refresh rates
- fast response times
- deep blacks
- good contrast
- wide viewing angles
The only issue that I've seen brought up about OLEDs is possible burn-in, but hasn't that issue been solved? Seems like Samsung and LG are confident in their OLED offerings.
Why hasn't this technology come to the PC? I know for a fact that the demand exists. Enthusiasts and gamers would absolutely fall over for an OLED display like the Dell UP3017Q.
- jsheard 10y agoSadly the Dell UP3017Q is vaporware - we're still waiting for it to start shipping a full year after it was announced, and Dell haven't given a reason for the delay. I suspect they did run into issues with burn-in. OLED TVs tend to avoid that now, but PC monitors have to deal with a lot more static images for much longer periods.
- Sephr 10y agoLG OLED TVs partially mitigate that by using WOLED (white OLED pixels topped with color filters).
- johncolanduoni 10y agoHave they solved color accuracy yet? In the past manufacturers would compensate for varying rates of decay of the materials in the screen for different colors by overdriving some, making color accuracy inconsistent over time. IIRC that was the reason Apple gave for avoiding OLEDs in the past, although whether it was actually that or supply chain issues I'm not sure.
- dghughes 10y agoIsn't the OLED problem just the blue pixel degrading? I don't think the red and green are affected.
