Quote from DeProof :
lol 4k OLED is plenty sharp, they are not lying. Some folks (not most, just some) have problems with 1440p OLED, but 4k is not an issue for almost anyone.
A 4k WOLED won't display text as sharply as a same-size 4k LCD because of the sub-pixel layout and lack of text-optimization for WOLED in Windows.

You are either lying or never used OLED.
Or you're wrong.

Do some research 800r is very aggressive curvature and meant for gaming, 1500-1800r is better for work.
Yeah I tried this monitor a couple months ago and it's the first thing to ever make me motion sick. It's a great price if it works out for someone but know that's been an issue I've seen other people have too.

No one is saying it's not sharp, just it would be easy to tell the difference side-by-side when reading text from a website or document, with the LCD clearly being sharper in regards to the text.

With the same resolution and PPI, a WOLED can't display text as sharply as an LCD because of the sub-pixel layout and ClearType in Windows not optimized for the longer WRGB of WOLED or the triangular RGB of QD-OLED.

I literally ordered a Lenovo Legion 34" OLED for $1019 30 min before seeing this deal. I PROMPTLY canceled and placed this order.

WIN because this includes speakers. This is not advertised on their LG site for the same model, so this is very likely a custom SKU for Costco - Incredible timing that I saw this.

It's not wrong, and this is a well known issue. Depending on the screen treatment, there may also be glossy screen that has worse reflection.

Hence why I'm sticking to IPS screen.

Quote from UniqueFog335 :
You're abusing their generous return policy that is designed for people who are TRULY not satisfied.

New tech comes out all the time.. This isn't rent-a-center. Other people are subsidizing your clownish behavior when you abuse their return policies. Do you think you're a genius exploiting a loophole by doing this? Anyone can do it. Difference is, most people aren't assholes enough to do it.

If I buy a TV in 2020, I expect it to have modern tech for like 3-5 years. I wouldn't dare try and return it so I can get a new TV like it's a loan program.
I really hope Costco cracks down on people like you and start enforcing a Social Security number to be a member or something. Just flat-out ban you and let us normal shoppers keep in peace.
Thanks for stating this. I tried but I must have insulted the same poster "fang" you are referring to so they removed my post

nothing boils my blood more than people who abuse systems that help everyone and to add insult to injury he comes here to brag about it like he is some savant shopper for figuring out a loophole in the system

ill say what i said earlier it's embarrassing and disgusting behavior - hopefully this post wont get removed as well i kept it clean!

Do you have one that you know this to be true? I do and my text is sharp as any LCD monitor and burn-in isn't an issue with the OLED-care functions built into the monitor. I don't game at all and I'd never go back to LCD monitors after using a 4K OLED. Maybe read up on what manufacturers are doing to minimize burn in. I don't know about you, but I do a bunch of tech reading and one thing I don't hear people complain about is their OLED monitors having a burn-in image after using it for normal work.
This is very well documented behavior in OLED panels -- it's no secret. A simple YouTube search I'm sure will have plenty of results explaining why it occurs (spoiler: sub-pixel layout).

It's very obvious on 1440p panels, less so on 4K panels. I had a 1440p QD-OLED (G61SD) and noticed it immediately. Wasn't a big deal because the monitor was going to be used for gaming only (you don't notice it when gaming).

Had the chance to get a 32" 4K QD-OLED on sale (G80SD) and it is less noticeable, but still noticeable. Again, will only use this for gaming so not a big deal for me.

My main productivity/office monitor is a 4K IPS.

If you're getting a monitor only for office work. I really struggle to see the benefits of using OLED. There are only downsides. Infinite contrast is nothing useful in excel.

Panel care (burn in mitigation) has surely improved but it's not a cure by any stretch.

Isn't this a crazy deal? Or am I missing something. Just got a MSI MAG 34cqp from woot refurbished for $473 and was wondering if I should go with this instead.
My dude.. DO NOT give up that monitor EVER. I have the MPG 34 and before that I went thru 5 different monitors including the one that is on sale here. Once you tried the GLOSS from the MAG you will NEVER want to go back to a matte finish monitor. The 39 with the text fringing and the mate coat made it hard for me to keep it. I'm even considering going back to the MAG. Even though the MPG has more Hz , its not as glossy as the MAG which make the colors POP and the HDR breath taking. Trust me that 175 and 240 is not a something you will notice it.

I have a PG32UCDM QD-OLED and maybe I'm the minority, but I don't look at subpixels with a magnifying glass or microscope. I'm not saying there isn't a theoretical difference but the original comment flat out said "text looks fuzzy" on an OLED and I'm saying my QD-OLED looks (to my eyes) to be sharp and does not tire my eyes and I sit in front of it most of the day, 7 days a week.

I'm not arguing the differences under a magnifying glass. The person I replied to said that on an OLED monitor "text looks fuzzy". I disagreed and I stick by it. And, FWIW, not everyone spends their day staring at Excel because they say they use it for work. Mind blown, right?

I absolutely love sitting down in front of a 4K 240Hz OLED screen. Each time the contrast and colors blow me away. I sold a pair to a friend and he also absolutely loves them, and he doesn't game either.
I had a beautiful 4K Samsung LCD screen before this that was bright (too bright) and looked beautiful, but this OLED is at another level. This is my opinion of actually using them, not parroting what someone else said or read who's never touched one.
My laptop is OLED also. Smilie
