    How is the panel holding now? Is it sensitive to micro scratches like the asus or due to matte coating is more durable??

    Would you recommend this over the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM?

      If mainly for gaming, I’ll get ROG, especially my gaming laptop is also a ROG. Since I probably can off the lights in room to use it. Further more, ROG also officially certified for G-Sync Compatible with a clear warranty statement that covers burn in.
      In my case, I spend more time using it for work. Also, the ROG is way more expensive in my country than US (2K more expensive vs Alienware and Samsung).

    The Proprietary Dynamic Cooling System for the panel. Game changer for preventing burn-in.

      Game changer? Why do they not provide burn in warranty in that case in any eu country, while every other manufacturer does for 3 full years?

      @@dragoonxgamer this is bound by GPU, source HDMI/ Display Port and Windows Display Settings (i.e. resolution, refresh rate, bit rate). My limitation is on my RTX 3070 Ti laptop HDMI port (2.0b only) if I choose to use HDMI. For DP Alt Mode I was able to use 4K 240Hz 10-bit HDR with Game Mode (Eco, Basic HDR10+ Gaming, Game HDR Off, Adaptive Sync On). The moment I switched to HDMI, if I want 12-bit HDR color, I need to drop to 2K 60Hz. Hope that helps.

Sometimes no need to switch as it would auto switch to the one it receives signal from (I.e. if both laptops connected to it and I wake up one of them.

    I enjoyed your video. There is a rumor that the Samsung G80SD OLED monitor is a QD OLED monitor, so the black color appears in a bright environment. There are also many who say that it appears as a deep blue color in a bright environment. Can you confirm this?
    Oh! And did you check the burn-in policy when you purchased it? What kind of burn-in policy is it?

      I chat with Samsung agent online prior to placing my order. She said the warranty statement online was for existing standard monitors (that didn’t mention anything about burn in). The latest model she said has burn in protection. 🤞🏻

    After a couple of days would you recommend and why or why not 1-10

    • @sinminlee
      @sinminlee  8 місяців тому +2

      I’d give it an 8 for my use case (work and entertainment in bright room)
      Why 8?
      - Non reflective display (usage more than 8 hours a day)
      - Act as 4K HDR TV, with speakers supporting Dolby ATMOS
      - Slim profile (thinner than my 2019 iMac)
      - No issue with 4K HDR 240Hz 10-Bit RGB/ YCbCr 4:4:4 VRR PC Gaming
      Why Not 8.5?
      - No Dolby Vision
      - No Official G-Sync (But I enabled it anyway with no issue)
      - Built-in Netflix can’t do HDR (i use laptop Netflix for HDR with ATMOS)
      To Avoid?
      - If you really like glossy display (yes glossy looks nicer vs matte if environment supports it)
      - Burn In Warranty is a grey area (at least to me)
      - No DP 2+
      Let me know if that helps…
