    Great overview. Thanks. I've been wondering for the last 2-3 years why the mini-LED tech hasn't hit the consumer market at a price point for the average user. It seems strange to me that the tech isn't being utillised while OLED is now becoming available at a cheaper price point. I'd love to see the mini-LED as a standard and for it to be available in sRGB and standard colour setting as the consumer would benefit from great picture quality and not be afraid of burn-in. But here's the question; will it? What will come first I wonder. OLED no longer suffering from burn-in or mini-LED at all picture/panel settings?

    • @ohkey2999

    • @FNLNFNLN
      @FNLNFNLN Рік тому +56

      OLED comes with obsolescence built in at the tech level, MiniLED will last you a decade easy.
      As for which one will get it's problems fixed... neither will ever. Burn in is fundamental to OLED technology. It can't be "fixed". In terms of contrast and color performance, MiniLED ought to be able to catch up with OLED pretty quickly... if there's investment. But even then, OLED is probably still going to be superior in terms of response time, since switching an LED on or off is always going to be faster than the liquid crystals in an LCD literally moving to block light or let it through.
      The real solution for both of these, and kind of where you end up anyways as you "fix" their problems, is MicroLED, aka, OLED except with non organic LEDs that don't have a built in chance to degrade, or miniLED when zone count = pixel count and you can just get rid of the LCD. That or AMQLED, which is MicroLED except the LEDs are based on quantum dots.
      When either of those will come to market... who knows. Samsung is allegedly releasing a MicroLED TV for the low low price of.... $80,000. How long that will take to get down to something reasonable, if ever, who knows.
      As for AMQLED, some Chinese company released a tech demonstrator a while back, but I haven't seen any rumors of anyone trying to go commercial with them, and I've seen some studies bringing up issues with... burn in.

      There is also something that Samsung is working on:
      The basic idea is that you have an OLED display if a single color and a filter that "produces the final color". Tha backlight is an OLED basically. (QDOLED if I am not mistaken)
      This allows for more resistant OLED, while having multiple colors

    I have bought the VA one. Very satisfied with the performance, no defects, and some of the issues mentioned have already been resolved by firmware update. Still cannot use 165Hz with HDR. So far I wanted to take advantage of the miniLED local dimming and HDR by watching a movie. Big problem are dark scenes, especially everything that is near black. You are basically watching a black screen, all shadow detail is gone. Bright colorful scenes are amazing.

      I just want to add more information. I have resolved the issue with too dark HDR. The problem was that I was using an older version of Kodi, which was doing HDR tone mapping wrong. When I updated Kodi to the latest version, there is a specific option for HDR tone mapping that can be enabled. Shadow detail is still not the best, for example the famous House of the Dragon episode is still unwatchable, but that is the case on many good TVs as well.

    Great review! If I understood correctly, I can turn off HDR and local dimming while doing office work. and the display will turn to a basic IPS, there will be no blooming?
    Some context for my plans:
    I am looking to buy a new display (actually my first display in 20 years as I was only using laptops due to spatial constraints). My main computer will be a Mac (MBP14 I currently already own). I am planning to do some music production, occasional really basic video edit, otherwise it will be more or less office work (reading pdfs, writing documents, preparing presentations).
    Additionally I plan to connect a Playstation 5 to the same display.
    At first I was looking at Ultrawide displays, but they are no good for PS5 and also only 1440p. I understand Mac OS has limitations with scaling & 1440p is a great resolution for the system. I am afraid the jagged text and my OCD with pixel peeping would go into overdrive...
    So next I settled on the Gigabyte M32u, but it has the problem, of only 15W PD via USB C, so there is no way to have only one cable going to my MBP. Next I came across the Cooler Master and eventually the KTC. I hate that they are 27", as I went to a local Media Markt and sat at a desk with a 27" monitor and next 32" one, and the 32" seem like a sweet spot to me... But coming from a tiny 14" laptop screen, 27" will seem huge once home with no 32" monitor next to it.

    @techlessYT, thanks for this video! Would it be possible to get a video on other gaming monitors with usb-c? There are not a lot of high refresh rate monitors out there with usb-c. The reason why I am asking this is because I would like to use the monitor both for work (usb-c adds some convenience) and gaming. Also, would it be possible to cover why a lot of the new monitors do not come with usb-c out of the box (I guess price plays some role here)? The new LG monitors look awesome but for some reason they do not add usb-c. At this price I would expect this port to be there.

    In HDR sieht der VA Monitor viel besser aus als der IPS. Ich habe ein bisschen Lust auf den 1440p Monitor, da er ein gutes VA Panel hat, dass auch einen hohen Farbraum hat und womit man wohl einigermaßen geschmeidig daddeln kann. Ich weiß jedoch nicht ob meine Augen und mein Kopf das vertragen, da ich seit 2019 ca auf 4K zocke (28 Zoll und 32 Zoll).

    honestly if you can't afford or don't want to get an oled, you could get a va monitor of the newest generation.
    I've got the aoc agon ag275qxn which is around 300-320 $/€ and i really like it. It's flat(!), 1440 p and the colors and contrast are amazing! plus it has a faster panel than older va monitors so the typical side effects of va monitors really arent't that noticable if you're not looking for them with a microscope. Sure it's not an oled but for the money i'm really happy with it . Liebe Grüße 😜

      How does mini-LED compare to OLED? I heard OLED was much better, totally another level. But maybe it was said by people who followed the OLED marketing hype and are now justifying their expensive purchase.
      It feels wrong to have OLED for PC, for the concern of burn-in. I wouldn't be able to use it normally. OLED would be only good for movies/gaming, so as a TV.
      I want to upgrade my monitor now, and am thinking, should I take a 4K mini-LED? IPS or VA.

My budged is around 800/1000$ and i was thinking about the AW2723DF, but im not sure it is the best in terms of latency and handling blurriness compared to the others on that price range.

    idk guys. I bought ktc m27t20 (1440p VA) and the blacks are really something you want, but I really mind that when you have areas that are only 50 light up you can see that back light is also turned down. so you are in situation when differnt between fully light up part of screen vs part of screen thats light up only for 50% brightness is higher than it should be. because pixels are set to block 50% of the light and then another 50% its taken from local dimming and its just looks like a broken monitor to me sometimes.
    plus whole hdr 1000 isnt good. like do you really want to get your eyes burned out in your evening play? it might be goog if you play in summer day, but i dont. i personally bought it with the hope for better blacks... and it's doing it in some ways, but in other ways it's ruining it.
    i'll probably going to return it. and I'll also sell my IPS monitor and just buy a VA panel. it has better blacks than IPS and with the good VA you should see smearing. i would be really happy if i could just buy this same version of the monitor without the mini-LED. i know that i can just turn off the local dimming, but that would be a waste of money.
    one day maybe I'll just buy woled monitor.
