    The upcoming 1440p 480Hz W-OLED from LG / Asus is going to be even better than this, but more expensive.
    And as always, expect to see this 360Hz panel on a range of different branded monitors so take your pick.

      It's crazy that we are ACTUALLY seeing year to year advancements in monitor tech. FINALLY we are observing progress again. Last 5 - 8 years it was really cumbersome and slow. All very incremental improvements. 75-100-120-144-165-180-200-240... And they all had huge issues with artefacting/overshooting/incredibly slow pixel response.
      But finally we are observing some insane advancements. Insane motion clarity, pixel response (literally no overshoot/artefact). Year to year advancement in refresh rate (240/360/480...).
      Also HUUUGE range of display variants. 27-32-34... ultra wides/ super ultra wides...
      And we have 2 competing OLED technologies... WRGB and QD-OLED and both kick ass. AND THEY'RE NOT OVERLY EXPENSIVE!

    Hello guys, if anyone's wondering why the glossy msi coating didn't look much that better than asus's matte coating it's because ambient light inadvertedly activates the qdcc layer inside the qd oled panel due to the lack of polarizer, so the black level is raised quite a bit more compared to the woled. There's an awesome video from tftcentral if you guys want to know more.

      The problem on windows is that individual applications are able to do their own layout engine (idk what the name is), so even if Microsoft were to make windows better at handling non-standard pixel layouts, you can still run into issues with programs like chrome, photoshop etc. It would be a step in the right direction though.

      Mine too, if warranty checks out because ultimately it's still OLED and if you intend to realistically use the 360hz most of the time, it means you are playing multiplayer FPS games with HUD (CS2/Valorant/OW2 etc.) for multiple hours a day, and HUD is very likely to cause a burn-in. He mentions how he played Overwatch for 600 hours and no burn-in so far, but if you want to play, let's say, 4 hours a day, 600 hours is not even half a year, it's kind of meaningless.
      With Alienware's 3-year warranty it's decent, but it's still quite expensive compared to LCDs as most people wouldn't want to replace their ~$1000 product within 3 years. It's a sick product, but it's still quite premium. But if you have money and aren't bothered with replacements via warranty it's godlike for sure.

      @@TheCabIe I have just bought this screen due to the reviews. The burn-in issue today is not a worry. I have had three OLED TVs since the 4K tech has been around. My LG B7 was stunning. But suffered from really bad burn-in. The Panasonic HZ1000 had no problems at all. I have that TV running still. With family on you tube and icons on TV channels, its 5 years old now and no burn-in to be seen. I then bought and still have an LG G2 WOLED. Two years old now, and no issues. Xbox SX and PS5 have not harmed this screen. It's due to the extra pixel they have added. There were 3 colours but now there is 4. Plus, an heatsink on the panel. Burn-in on OLED TV's is not like on and old CRT. It just a pixel being driven harder than the others. Red and yellow OLED colour was a massive problem. The colour is harder to drive. But with the extra white pixel, the problem is now mute. LG give a 5-year warranty on its TV panels. Don't worry about burn-in. Watch HDTV Test. Vincent put a 50% white square in HDR and leaves it for 4 hours. It marks the screen with image retention, but he runs the pixel cleaner, and it goes. Enjoy your OLED screens. BTW on my G2 TV I also have logo dimming turned off. No problems after nearly two years.

    Man, seeing these high refresh rate 1440p OLED's really makes me want to upgrade my OLED G8 (175hz), PC hardware is getting so insane and if Nvidia manage to release at least the 5090/5080 this year, then no doubt we could very easily max out the 360/480hz at native res on quite a few titles with DLSS.

      What you want to look for there is subpixel layout, I believe monitors in Q2 and beyond will fix this by shuffling subpixels around e.g. RWGB (or something or other) to RGBW or whatever. Point is they address this later on in the year
      As for your second point, DP is still sufficient depending on your use case (console gamer?) and an argument about throughput is made e.g. 2.0 is perfectly sufficient, forget the exact details

    The new QD-OLEDs will be able to come curved or flat, matte or gloss with anti-reflective coating and even the inputs will change per model/brand on the 27" and 32", with some models even having Dolby Vision (Only the 32" it seems, and only some models). I'm looking at the HP Omen or the Gigabyte for the 32" as they have DisplayPort 2.1 (the Gigabyte having full DisplayPort 2.1), though the 32" are stuck at 240hz. The QD-OLED need a good anti-reflective coating because unlike the LG Panels, there is no polarizer. To be honest, I was hoping the panels this year would have Phosphorescent Blue OLEDs, which would allow them to be brighter and run longer with more stability, but it looks like they're not ready for this year.

The other thing that bothers me in this video is that he says there's virtually no difference between the matte and glossy coating when in reality the matte coating has quite a horrible grainy look on white or near white images that I'm sure moving to glossy would solve. Bit of a hit to his recommendations for me unfortunately.
