Samsung EDU/EPP: 34" G85SB OLED 3440x1440 0.03ms 175Hz Curved Smart Gaming Monitor Expired

I predict OLED PC monitors to decrease 50% in price within the next 3-5 years with much better improvement technologies. Just like it happened with 1080p HDTV when they cost $4000 at Best Buy when they first came out.

You can say this about every piece of tech. Good luck on your wait.......

Can someone explain to me why I wouldn't just get an cheap oled tv instead of this monitor?

34" wont be compatible with gaming consoles such as the ps5.

with a TV your OLED will be less bright and have less pop. Although it will still look great compared to any LED TV made. Tvs are not made to be a office computer and text may look alot worse than a real pc monitor.

42" LG OLED has 120hz real 4k gsync vs 175hz not 4k 3440x1440, games may not suppor this resolutio . I notice a difference with 175hz on esports.

the 55" and up LG tvs will pop more than the smaller sizes , so more brightness. You will have to research this if you want details.
QD-OLED is the best panel made unless you buy the new G3 OLED from LG but that starts at 55" to 77" which is a TV.


On my dell when you hit the power button it automatically does a panel refresh , all you see is a black screen. On a TV you have to go into the service menu i hear to set certain settings to prevent the screen from dimming and always manually do oled panel refresh.

This is what i briefly read , i am not an expert at the LG 42" when it comes to settings. Also the dell alienware oled is matte which l think will be way better for office work vs gloss mirror on the OLED TV. The QD-OLED matte finish soaks up light and maintains super bright levels when the sun is on the screen , without seeing yourself..

either way this is exciting times to own a PC monitor for gaming and the 42" OLED is a great gaming TV for what you can do with it. I may sell my Sony CRT once and for all and use the 42" LG C3 in the future as a Arcade monitor for my launchbox front end , eventually it will go into either a pinball cab or arcade cab. My 65" C1 is my console gaming and use a retrotink 5x and OSSC upscaler on it and can say my super nintendo RGB modded or mister FPGA looks sick on it, better than any CRT. I briefly hooked up my Windows 98SE machine with a OSSC using scanlines and looked awesome. So my next oled is a 42" for sure, i guess my Sony G520 CRT is going for 400-700 now lol.

I'm not sure I'd choose this over the Alienware. Unless something has changed, Alienware's warranty is pretty great. I'm dealing with Samsung warranty for another product and it's been a nightmare.

Wait seriously? Any source on that? That would be a pretty significant difference between the Alienware and this if true.

I have an LED panel with 300 nits brightness and I am constantly wishing it was brighter.

At 200 nits, is this even useable outside of a pitch black room?

Linus Tech Tips mentioned this and he was surprised samsung didn't mention QD oled anywhere on the product page. But it is QD oled...

Great, and I bought a used Corolla instead of a Ferrari, because it gets you to the same place.

It looks like this "deal" is over. After many inputs in this thread and research on the internet, I decided to go with the AW model F and the capital one shopping discount. I hope I did it right.

Was looking at this, but samsung showed off 2nd gen QDLED and its 30% brighter and has double the color luminance than WOLED. More importantly it will be twice as durable as 1st gen QDOLED. It also uses 20% less power and supports 240Hz
