It took 27" 4K IPS screens about ten years to go from the exciting-new-tech price of $1,000 to to $200 (only when on sale). The technology life cycle for screens is said to be around 10 years. For OLED screen to come down to $200, they need to be the prevailing mainstream technology. That will take 5-10 years. (I don't see IPS and VA screen going anywhere anytime soon. Do you?) Could it happen at the five year mark? Maybe. Probably not. I'm cheering for you though. I also want to buy 27" 4K OLED screen for $200.

FYI, I didn't downvote your comment. You did downvote mine in exchange. Smilie All good though. I won't take offence just because somebody disagrees with me. The sooner we can buy these screens for $200 the better.

as a person who daily drives this(3316 hours on time), its dark to some, but people have different tolerances to brightness.

If you're a person who uses brightness at values of 500 nits+, this monitor is NOT for you. Put it in perspective, the framework 16 laptop I have has a 550nit brightness monitor, and I think it's eye searing, but there are those who daily drive panels at 1000 nits. the panel works better in environments that are darker. If I have to give a rough range, if you use a monitor at roughly 200-250 nits brightness, this panels fine.

the advantage of LG's relativity speaking conservative brightness is that the panel (considered second gen WOLED, the panel has MLA tech as well to boost brightness somewhat vs gen 1) is that it's less prone to burn in. various tests, including the ongoing oled test happening at Rtings essentially have the panel doing fine so far last i recall, especially when compared to gen 1 qdoled panels in terms of longevity.

This looks like a good price but reviews on Costco.com say this monitor is too dark.

If I want a 4K panel for gaming but not an OLED (pricing), which would be the one to go for? RTings has the Acer Nitro as the best 4K monitor that isn't an OLED. I know IPS is not the best for HDR but I also don't want a VA panel just to get close to OLED contrast levels.

Using this with a 7900xtx, so I was shooting for 4K but maybe a 2K OLED would be just fine at 240hz?
I'm in the same boat/tempted to buy this. it seems good for my use case

I can already buy OLED laptops for cheap now, so the monitors can't be that expensive to make. It's been fun talking to you and your other three accounts.

Wow, 20 downvotes...somebody has their farm running hot.
Definitely not OLED gaming laptops

By all means, show us these "cheap" OLED laptops. Throwing a whole lot of allegations out there without any proof, while also contributing nothing to threads. If the price was never in your budget, why did you even bother to comment? In the current market, this is a good deal for someone looking for these monitors.

Some people have crazy brightness expectations. I run my current monitors at 120 nits and find even the incredibly weak ~365 nits of my primary monitor in HDR mode rather hard to look at when significant portions of the screen are white. Maybe I just have sensitive eyes but I can't imagine why anyone would find any modern display too dim.

I have this monitor. Put windows in HDR mode and drag the SDR content brightness slider up to about 50% and you're good to go.

Look what you wrote though, does that help anyone? No. It's a pointless post. That's why people downvoted you.
