Quote from rjsmith2007 :
800r matches up exactly with my flat split screens and how I have them angled. It's perfectly fine for any type of montior usage. There is no "this curve is best for X" that's just marketing mumbo jumbo.
800R is great for the larger 45" size. Have you tried out a 800R curvature monitor before or at least experienced it in a store? It's immersive for some genres of gaming like car/flight sims, but it's not to everyone's taste, especially in the smaller 34" and 39" sizes. It's personally too intense of a curve for me for the smaller sizes and I would suggest others to try it out as many people do end up returning it after trying it for themselves.

I prefer the "flatter" curves for ultrawides. 1800R for 34" and 2300R for 38". Sadly 38" 24:10 ratio 3840x1600 has been abandoned, so I can only hope for future 39" 5K2K to have flatter curves and proper RGB pixel layout.

Only LG Display has a roadmap for 5K2K Ultrawides as well as proper RGB OLEDs, so we should start seeing 34" and 39" 5K2K monitors next year. Samsung Display (QD-OLEDs) has no plans for 5K2K and only plan to revamp their current gen3 QD-OLEDs up to 360Hz (same 3440x1440 res) without any pixel layout changes, so expect the same text fringing issues for QD-OLEDs for the next few years.

Quote from Egotiator :
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.
Exactly. 4k OLED is sharp enough, I get it. But it is not as sharp as LCD, simple as that.

Maybe, but I think you might've been who missed what the discussion was about. See, Hat-Trick said:"I [own an OLED] and my text is sharp as any LCD monitor" in response to someone saying text is fuzzier on an OLED compared to an LCD.Notice how the argument is about OLED displaying text as sharp as LCD, and not what you may have thought it was about?Then when HonestSnake7260 said he might be lying or inexperienced, you replied that they aren't lying and that only lower resolutions would show the problem being mentioned.I then pointed out that wasn't entirely correct as the hardware and software limitations are real regardless of resolution.Did that clear up where I was coming from?
My point exactly, thanks for clearing that up. I was gonna explain it then thought whatever.

I think 3440x1440 (Alienware OLED) is great for 34" ultrawides, but the lack of text clarity is definitely noticeable compared to my Acer Predator 27" (IPS) or even my cheapo LG 34" ultrawide with a VA panel. I couldn't imagine going with an even larger monitor and losing more DPI. With that said, I have no experience with anything larger than the 34's so I could be wrong.

For me 34" OLED's are right on the line of text clarity I am comfortable using, anything worse I'm not sure I could use it for anything other than gaming. That's why I'm excited for these LG 5K/2K monitors. I'd love one of those 49" OLED's.

Quote from Eragorn :
Yup, but most GPU's can't run high framerates at resolutions higher than 1440p. 34" would be the better size of course, but if you want a large monitor, this would be a good option for gamers.
not to mention that a higher res 4k display is very tall, it's a lot of real estate for your eyes to cover. This one with the 800r curve keeps everything front and center. I prefer 1440p for that reason alone. You get high framerates and everything stays on a horizontal plane instead of having to look up and down, especially for fps games.
I got in on one of these, and I bought the samsung oled 34 last week at $600, but this was too good a deal to pass up.

I love how some people have Filet tastes on a hamburger budget.

Sure I think everyone would love an 8k monitor with the $5k GPU used to run such a beast but most people do not own $10k computers.

For the rest of us we have to accept "some" compromises and if we want a large display with a sub $1k GPU, you need to accept that everything is not going to be perfect.

If sharp text is very important then by all means do NOT buy a 39" monitor and stick to a 34" or lower.

If you want outstanding color at a high refresh with great blacks then you go OLED but you accept that eventually screen burn may be an issue. They are also expensive but are getting cheaper.

IPS panels have little blur but rotten blacks and sometimes light bleed and average color are slight higher in cost.

VA panels have medium-high blur, above average blacks and above average color and refresh and are cheap.

TN panels are cheap with rotten color, high refresh.

My point is that every tech has advantages and disadvantages otherwise we would all be using the same tech. Everyone has different priorities so to some, OLED may be the answer, to others IPS, VA or yes even TN still for those who want a sub $100 monitor.

Does the perfect monitor exist? Not that I have seen. Even those that cost $2000 have to use one of the above techs. Mini-LED is the next best thing since sliced bread but I've head that before. A few years ago everyone was talking OLED and before that we had the TN vs IPS/VA debates.

So if you have unlimited cash, go with a good 4k OLED/MiniLED and pair it with a $3000+ video card. Most of us here are not going to drop $5k for a monitor/GPU and for those of us we have some compromises to make.

To me, and this is just my opinion, this $549 39" OLED is exactly what I need. I get "almost 4k" quality driven by my $550 Nvidia 4070 Super and for the total cost of about $1k, I get around 80% of the experience those spending 3-5x as much. I'll accept that compromise thank you.

I've been trying to decide if I stick with the open box 42" LG C4 I bought last week or jump on one of these. I'd like the curve but heard the brightness isn't even close to the C4.
You really don't need a bright monitor that sitting a few feet away from your face. Unless you plan on using it in a super bright environment. My Alienware 38" sits at 30% brightness in my office.

I have a 38" aw3821dw with 2300R and I like it. I saw the 57" G9 at the store with 1000R and thought that was way too curved. It's crazy this thing is even more curved!
I have been using the aw3821dw for years myself. I bought the Dell 32: OLED and wasn't thrilled by it and went back to the Alienware. I ordered this monitor I hope I'm not disappointed.

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!
They killed most of the discussion, I cant even find the fang posts.

BTW, isn't Costco return policy only 90days on monitors?

Quote from TurboMann :
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.
I dont have issues with text fringing on a alienware 3423dwf qdoled, but I also have scale set to 125% (Win11 - Settings > System > Display), when I set it to 100%, it is a more noticable issue

I know costco has different models for their product, I'm trying to watch some reviews on this monitor but am not sure what the non costco model would be. Can anyone help with that info?
