    For coders, I think 27" is the near the sweet spot. I've been on 27" 1440P monitors for a few years and it's definitely the best so far, but I'd love to see even sharper text. Unfortunately, 32" is just too big IMHO and the required head movement a bit much unless I push the screen toward the back of my desk (although that might worse my near-sight vision). TBH, I think a 24", set a bit closer, might be even better for coding. Anyway, I've tried them all--from 13" up to 38" widescreen--over the years (from the 1980's until now), so that's my take. I also want a 120Hz+ refresh rates for the smooth text scrolling and occasional gaming. I'm still waiting for that perfect monitor...

    Simon! I just read an article on the Korean version of the The elec's website which talks about the 160PPI QD Oled monitor prototype. They cite DSCC as a source for this panel making it to consumers next year. I know on your roadmap you placed LG Display's panel with this spec as Q4 2025. Considering Samsung Display had a working prototype at CES this year this could mean a high refresh rate 27" 4k oled panel could come sooner than anticipated. Also DSCC are quite accurate with their predictions snd timelines.

      We have a bit of more recent info on that 27” 4K panel actually. It’s not officially announced yet and there’s no firm timeline from Samsung Display, but it’s likely to be produced during 2025 we are told. Could therefore end up being a bit earlier than LG’s WOLED version

    • @tftcentral
      @tftcentral  Před 7 měsíci +5

      The text fringing is less of an issue on the gen 2/gen 3 QD-OLED panels that it was in gen 1, although it's not fully fixed. It's very good now though overall. I think the risk there would be around potential image retention if you're using it for lots of static work, although if your usage is varied, and you are also reasonably careful about how you use it, i don't think that needs to be a major concern. A tricky one as every use case is different

    • @edfort5704
      @edfort5704 Před 7 měsíci +1

      It totally does, though I, personally, dream of somewhat bigger size monitors, around 40 inch 8k (16:9 or 16:10), with multi-mode resolution/refresh rates.
      You can often get within 20-30 cm close-up distance from your monitor when trying to look at details, even at 32-40 inch diagonal screens, so you can easily tell the difference between 4K and 8K if you pay attention.
      8K will definitely be in mainstream monitors one day, as it's an amazing resolution (in 16:9 or in 16:10) because it scales integerly many of the well-established lower resolutions: 4K UHD, 1440p, 1080p and even 720p.
      8K has fantastic versatile potential in computer monitors especially, and it makes sense on 32 inch and bigger size. I suspect some people will ask for it in even smaller sizes than 32 inch, but at 32" and bigger it's going to be a must in a few years.

And I don't want issues with black smearing, so the pixel response should be fast and the panel must not curve more than a 1500R rating?? 🤔
    Ideally, I'm looking for one that is about the 30 - 32 inch size and either is curved approximately at a 1800R rating or just be flat. And has a 1440p resolution, as it will be used for gaming, as well as allround office use.

      Hi Daniel. That’s a tricky one.

But those are more curved than you wanted (1000R). Can’t think of any others than for the bill, unless you maybe look at OLED screens instead?
