We have oled phones, oled tvs and oled lighting but where the fuck are the oled monitors? I just want a 21:9 3440x1440 oled monitor. just saying

I though OLED was more for a cinematic experience?

Probably too expensive still.

OLED is a display technology like LCD.

my oled vita has ridiculous ghosting. mostly noticable in persona 4. did I just get a lemon or are they all like this

Burn in is still a big problem. Your OS task bar would probably burn in pretty fast.

>>51579752
Even the newest OLED panel tech suffers burn-in problems. On computer monitors the screen is on for a lot longer and has static UI components that will get burnt in. Some professional level Sony OLED TVs sell for about $10k so don't expect affordable OLED monitors for a while.

But isn't this why screensavers exist? Also couldn't you just set the task bar to hide? How did the monitors of yore do it?

They're closer now than ever. Prices on the TVs are coming down fast: http://www.oled-info.com/lgs-curved-55-fhd-eg9100-oled-tv-now-down-1885
And new plants for TV-sized displays are being built: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/27/us-lg-display-investment-idUSKBN0TF2JY20151127

OLED is still too latent but at least the colors don't look like you're looking at them through a filter.
I didn't notice any difference between black levels vs the now deceased zt60 but their white levels were clearly superior.

>>51580632
Also hopefully the curved meme is dead soon. Believe it or not more than one person is typically watching a tv.

>>51580982
Not if its a curved monitor. Though the jury is still out on that one.
>>
>using a galaxy note 2
>it has an oled screen
>after a few years of use, whites are now more like yellows

I dont think oled is a good long-term choice until they solve the burn in/whites turning into yellows issues

For a phone its great, people usually get new phones within a few years.

But TV's arw supposed to last many years.
>>
>>51580511
Burn-in may be pretty easy to avoid but oled panels suffer from uneven wear (like plasmas), that makes them inadequate for computer monitors.

Apparently Quantum Dot is all hype now.
>>
>>51580453
what's wrong with IPS, and VA?
>>
>>51582514
So many things.
IPS: glow, poor contrast and black levels
VA: color shift, black crush
Both: pixel response times, backlight bleed

>>51582693
It's the best type of LCD (unless you value speed or black levels over color accuracy and viewing angles), it's just that all LCDs suck, and there's nothing better readily available.

LCD screens also need to be re-calibrated every 2-3 months.
Your screen probably has fucked up colors, you've just grown used to it.

>>51583386
Eh, I'm 37, and have been using computer displays of one type or another for most of my life. LCDs are really a step backward in some ways from good CRTs, and the downward pressure on LCD market prices has forced companies to cut corners on newer displays, further worsening the situation. LCD tech is basically tapped out at this point, with only incremental improvements going forward, and with CRTs and plasma dead, SED/FED dead before it even had a chance, OLED is the only bright spot on the horizon.

Butbutbut LG is the only Oled with wrgb
Samsung using normal rgb crap = colors get facket asap.

>>51584029
Shit man, I bought a POS "Digital Lifestyles" brand 1080p 42" LCD TV from Newegg like 7 years ago and it still works great. I even used it as my computer monitor for about 3 years until I finally came to terms with the fact that sitting 3 feet away from a 42" screen for hours at a time was retarded.
>>
>>51579974
p4g actually applies a ghosting affect to the entire game to simulate being inside a shitty tv. i have a vita too and that's the only game i noticed. there's no way to turn it off.
>>
>>51584497
Also, my parents bought a 42" Samsung Plasma TV in 2006 that gets used several hours a day and it's still going strong as well.
>>
>>51584497
Why is it retarded?
>>
>>51579916
Nah. It's because they have perfect blacks and amazing viewing angles.
>>
>>51584787
Because my neck got tired of constantly turning so I could see what was going on when gaming or reading shit and it seemed to strain my eyes a lot more than just using a regular monitor. It also made my tiny ass room get up to like 85F when I closed the door. I have a 27" IPS monitor now and I feel like even that's a little too big, I would've been better off with a 24" monitor I think.
>>
Desktop UIs have lots of static elements. OLEDs burn in. OLEDs also aren't going to last you more than a few years before the panel itself is worn out. That's the main reason you don't see OLED outside of phones which people will only use for a year or two.

Oh man this is like hall of fame hipster retard thinking. Watching something that is literally emitting alpha beta and gamma radiation and can't have a screen size larger than 36" and isn't portable while consuming a shit load of power. just wow

Pros

High contrast ratio (over 15,000:1),[63] excellent color, fairly wide color gamut and low black level.
No native resolution; the only current display technology capable of true multisyncing (displaying many different resolutions and refresh rates without the need for scaling).
No input lag.
No ghosting and smearing artifacts during fast motion due to sub-millisecond response time, and impulse-based operation.
Near zero color, saturation, contrast, or brightness distortion.
Excellent viewing angle.
Allows the use of light guns/pens.
Can be used or stored in both extreme hot and cold temperature conditions without harm to the system.[64]

Only negatives really are size/weight/power usage which doesn't matter much for a stationary display

>>51585256
You've responded well, but im still holding firm that they are much better because: no set naive resolution - even sony wouldn't nail down how many pixels their monitors had because they new knew couldn't even get enough dots to display 1600 * 1200 and even that resolution was limited to 85hz so crts having zero response times still miss out on high refresh 2k lcds. Their colour reproduction was accurate but the gamut incredibly limited. Ccfl lcd had better colour spectrum in 2011 than the best crt.
Physical size of the monitor absolutely does matter, it's literally why lcd won.
60hz / 50hz headaches - you can have a high resolution or a high refresh rate but not both.
Fwiw I miss paying battlefield 2141 1280*1024 @ 100hz and light gun games were some of my fondest childhood memories but there's still no way I'd go back to crt. Also crts need to be de gaussed so I'm not sure why people think they'll always look good or last forever. Led lcd have far more potential for longevity and oled is just plain gorgeous and most of the reason why people keep buying samsung phones exclusively
>>
>>51585256
>Can be used or stored in both extreme hot and cold temperature conditions without harm to the system.[64]
not true
the majority of crts will fuck up at low temps till they warm up, you need special ones to do so otherwise, you find people doing it to the ones in old arcade cabinets and ruining pretty often.

just using backlight as a general term for the distribution of light
but fine
>the distribution of lighting on oled screens is shit
there, you happy autist? This shit doesn't happen to other display types
>>
What about plasma?
>>
>>51585599
Noticed this on my OLED devices too, its really noticeable if you turn the brightness all the way down and use it in a completely dark room.
>>
>>51585599
Baha sure I suppose you call a computer a cpu too huh. The distribution of light from oled is shit?? The pixels determine exactly what is lit, it's literally worse on every other lcd where the back light bleeds through our simply doesn't produce the correct wave length of light anyway. So I've b arrowed it down to either you can't describe the issue correctly or you don't know what you are taking about.
>>
>>51585500
degaussing is only for after you get a magnet near it

LCD won because we didn't get slim flat CRTs fast enough, and also due to laptops and such, but still for gaming use a used 1600x1200 75Hz CRT can't be beat unless you drop a ton of money on a 144hz IPS display
>>
>>51585767
My sony 21" trinitron did 85hz at 1600*1200. Still preferred 100hz 1280 1024 though, less headaches and smoother. You'll have to de gauss the monitor often after two years or so though, colours will look wrong and fine text is smudged. My 27" 2k 120hz screen is glorious. It was expensive but not more than the crt when it was new.fits in the desk a while lot better though, and watching dvds on the crt did of course result in losing 30% of the screen so not much use at a distance
>>
>>51585670
I've noticed the same blotchiness shown in the pic on OLEDs displaying black or very dark screens as well. No idea what the cause is, but it's a little troubling to see it.
>>
>>51579752
Wait for 2018 when LG starts using their new billion dollar OLED plant. No go until then unless you don't mind a 55" 4K OLED TV for $2500
>>
>>51585954
Writiing this on a galaxy note 3 right now and testing this. It's normal for oled screens to wear out after heavy use over time. Phone shops always set phone screens to maximum brightness to get the wow factor and as a result the oleds whites are off colour. Defo an issue for monitors but phones not so much
>>
>>51585599
Those are like C Grade AMOLED panels that Samsung offloaded to other OEMs. Any modern Samsung device has perfect AMOLED panels with not blotchiness. If you're going to buy a phone with OLED, either stick with Samsung for AMOLED or LG for P-OLED.

but VA has the best blacks on any panel apart from OLEDs senpai
>>
>>51586125
The black *level* on VA is good, but they suffer from "black crush," which is where near-black shades are indistinguishable from black, i.e., shadow details get lost in dark scenes in games or movies.
>>
>>51586044
My note 3 has those spots.

>>51585500
FLED could have fixed most of those issues. The other big issue with CRT that you did not mention is blooming (Expansion/shrinkage of the display area according to brightness/power fluctuations.). I had a Toshiba widescreen TV that had this issue in spades.
