/tech/ - Soyence and Technology

please don't go for miniled, I used to have AOC Q27G40XMN and it had horrible blooming and desaturated colors with the dimming zones turned on, and if turn them off you literally just have an overpriced VA display
maybe there have been new displays since with more dimming zones, but it's still a stopgap, dead-end technology, don't invest in it
get an OLED (if you have an usecase for it), it will look and perform 1000x better than any miniled (remember most minileds are VA panels just with different backlight so you still get raped by the horrible VA ghosting), also the burn-in risk of OLEDs is basically non-existent with current gen panels and good settings

Thanks, my family has a miniled tv so I already know what those are like, there is bloom but it looks good or something and want to upgrade my monitor to that tier of a panel or above. I live in central-eastern yuhro so I'm a bit of a poorfag for western standards and looking for entry-level stuff, I already found one for a nice price but it has matte coating so I'm a bit concerned about dis, I almost never complain about glossiness on glossy screens but matte can noticeably cause the screen to be less sharp

OLED if from good brand

>>39302
the whole glossy = good meme was started by monitors unboxed(ASUS shill) and perpetuated by their indian audience that never even owned the monitors they are pushing
unless you are actually living in you mom's basement, you'll get raped by sun glare on a glossy display
I am currently using Gigabyte MO27Q28G which is matte coated but it's not oily, unusable or whatever some ASUS-funded pajeets claim online, it's perfectly fine and the image is clear
if you want to get the same display or some other WOLED panel, be warned they suffer from Dirty Screen Effect(just google it), if you don't like that downside, look into Q-OLEDs, though those on the other hand suffer from lower peak brightness, worse text legibility and can appear purple-hued in some lighting conditions
<REDDIT SPACE
if you are poor I'd recommend deciding if OLED is actually needed for your usecace, if you don't consume much vidya or movies or don't plan on consuming any HDR content then OLED is pretty overkill, also high-end LED displays are becoming dirt cheap now since their prices are being pushed down by lowered OLED prices
and keep in mind there aren't that many games that natively support HDR, with movies it's even worse, I haven't seen a single movie in HDR

>>39366
if you don't believe that the glossy coating part is blatant ASUS-funded propaganda, just look at glossy and matte variants of the same ASUS display and you'll notice that the glossy variant is more expensive- evendoe it should be cheaper since there is no coating
another clue you'll NOOOOTICE is the fact ASUS offers way more glossy OLED options compared to any other brand, that is because they struck a deal with LG to exclusively supply them with glossy panels
dis is all true

>>39366
Thanks, I mainly use the computer for vidya (I use a laptop for important stuff and my desktop is mainly for vidya and local ai).
The only cheap option here is a qd oled with a matte coating, my room is usually more dark than light and I can easily control lightning in my room so that's not a problem. I wouldn't say I'm poor I got a 9060 xt but not very rich either so I would have to take great care of an oled.
Don't necessarily need an oled I just like gaming a lot and want to reward myself in case I'm successful in my work/studies.

Thanks for telling me, I can see it, I have an asus laptop and it's very glossy geg, my experience was seeing tvs at a hardware store and the glossy panels looked a bit more sharp, though what also plays into it is that only huge 98' or whatever panels were the ones with matte coating

LCD gets the job done to be honest.

>>39427
True but I want to step above

mini led vvon
>lasts longer
>can have good enough blacks like oled
>costs like 300-400 bucks instead of 800 for a decent oled
downsides
<blacks arent as good as oled
<bloom if it has not much dimming zones
<not much models with 1080p panels (more of a personal thing)

MiniLED requires at least 2,000 zones and peak brightness of 2,000 to be really good and have noticable benefits over OLED. Hardly any monitors reach these specs, but a bunch of TVs do now. BUT OLED has to be babied if you want it to last more than 3-4 years without having any pixels die when under heavy use (which is all PC use). And even then, OLEDs lose brightness over time much faster. OLED also has very bad motion judder that you may or may not notice, and even then you might notice it after a year or two. It also depends on teh room you plan to use it in. In a bright room or if you have your lights on to avoid eye strain, miniLED is better. In a very dark room, OLED is easily going to look better. It's a very "pick your poison world" when it comes to displays. Anyone saying one technology is hands down better than another in practical daily life is a complete faggot who doesn't know what they're talking about.

So go to the store and look at different TVs, then go online and look at the prices of monitors with specs that are very close to the TVs you looked at. See what you can justify long term. Can you ACTUALLY justify that cost for that performance for that long? I'm not telling you what to buy, I'm telling you how to spend money wisely.

comparing display technologies based on TVs when choosing a PC monitor is retarded, TV panels are way ahead of PC ones + LG and samsung are slowly drip feeding gamers with tech that was available on TVs and smartphones years ago

No, it's not. Stop being a 4/g/eet/. The fundamentals are the exact same between monitors and TVs, and the only meaningful difference is in possible framerates and a bit in motion processing, which TVs do better all around because they sacrifice latency for it (but enabling game mode basically turns them into big monitors because game mode is actually good in most TVs now). TVs also don't support over 144hz right now. You can in fact make an educated decision on monitors by looking at TVs, they're all way closer than people want to admit.

t. Has an HDR OLED Phone, a 2,000 zone 2,000 nit miniLED VA TV, and a 165hz 1440p IPS monitor with a terrible 700:1 contrast ratio and obviously fake HDR that looks worse when you enable it. And did basic research this way.

I have it all and the biggest difference by miles is between the IPS monitor and the miniLED TV. In fact my phone only looks meaningfully better than my TV in mostly pitch dark HDR scenes with very small highlights when all the lights in the room are off. OLED jitter is admittedly mostly bad when trying to read light text on a black background. Ironically, OLED is at it best where it's also at its worst.

Not trying to sound upset with you personally, but it's really hard for me because display discussion pisses me off so much. I['ve seen too many boomers buy an OLED TV for news broadcasts instead of infrequent home theater use, and too many people blame miniLED because they bought a low tier one for a pitch black home theater 4 years ago. Then there are the hardware/monitors unboxed and LTT, and other techtuber fanboys who aren't even real people in my eyes.

Not much selection of minileds in my country, my room can be both dark and light but I use it more during the night in dark environments, the cheaper oleds here aren't that much more expensive than the miniled models

So then the question for you is whether or not the shorter lifespan bothers you or not. Might want to hold off a little bit and wait for sales in any case, because monitors are one of the few things that still get decent sales near the end of the year and if you go with OLED prices are coming down steadily every year.

Are there 24 inch mini leds?

>>39594
i think but the decent ones are mostly 27 i feel
