LG 27 1440P INCH 240HZ OLED

[Rod]

Dont buy it! Total rip off! $999 what are they on at LG HQ? This is pure bait to try to sell this bad resolution and then they will releaae the 4k version later to try to force people to buy again. Its a total scam these 1440p monitors are only 25% sharper than a 1080p panel and literally twice to to four times the price. You can get an LG 42 inch OLED for the same price or lower yet once again the gamer tax is going to be applied.


Its a test, Dont fall for it dont buy it and they will be forced to release the 4k 240hz version.

Idk why anyone would buy 1440p at 27"

Like, get a larger monitor. I would still be inclined to even get an extra 5" for 1440p ultrawide

Probably because there's not that many 4K 240Hz displays? The only one to exist for the longest time was the Samsung Odyssey Neo G8.

240Hz 4K isn't as prevalent as people think.

I'm not sure I grasp the whole 'forced' part of your statement OP. Does LG send a couple of guys to your home who threaten to break your legs if you don't buy one?

Lol its a matte panel with Micro Lens Array, No 4k and $999. Woah Asus no gloss no 4k i hope people are not stupid enough to buy this. 24 inch 240hz IPS 300 bucks adding two inches and OLED costs 700 bucks.


Rip off! An LG C2 42" is actually cheaper i seen one for 899.

Microled and oled is an expensive tech right now, what did you expect comparing it to a older cheap IPS tech?

Stick to ips if can't afford the newest tech at high refresh rate, simple.

Could it be cheaper because it has a several hundred dollar sale? Because I find it to be on sale now. Because I see that normally go for $1300 or so.

It's also a TV and not a monitor and it only has 120 Hz. It doesn't list the response time of the TV but the 240 Hz monitor you list has a response time of 0.03ms. It's usually between 1 ms to 4 ms update on most monitors.

Both the 240 Hz and 0.03ms features are rare enough.

Going from 1080p to 1440p also yields 43% more pixels. Which is where you're going to see the bigger difference. It's a bigger leap from 1080p to 1440p compared to 1440p to 4k.

4K also demands a rather powerful card if you gonna keep playing the newer games on it. A 1440p will be easier to achieve.

Fast IPS isnt really old? I paid like £268 new for my VG259QM. Its not great compared to my AW3423DW but the price leaps outrageous. This is like Nvidia 4070ti they are testing the waters to see if people will pay up. Many suckers probably will and the new price model will be 1000 bucks a monitor.


1000 bucks for monitor
1000 bucks for GPU

PC gaming cant survive like that, The highend is small midrange gamers are the life blood of pc gaming and Nvidia and greedy monitor sellers are going to kill it. When people refuse to buy a 4000 buck pc they go to consoles i can afford it but whats the point if all the other gamers leave.

[Illusion of Progress]

PC hardware is expensive, yes, but monitors are one area where you're not really being almost shoehorned into either paying extreme amounts or getting a poor deal. If this was like GPUs you'd have some merit to that concern but not as much with displays.

If you find that particular option a poor price for what t is, then ignore it.

[_I_]

a good k/m and display are important
they can last through several pc builds and upgrades

those are the parts you actually interact with

i would really avoid oled for a while, until you find a model that can claim 5+years of near normal use (8hr/day x 5yr) without any signs of burn or dead/stuck pixels without using image shift or dimming or other features to artificially reduce/spread screen burn

a good lcd panel still looks nice and can get high refresh rate and last 10+yr with no burn

Hate to break it to you, but yes PC gaming will do just fine. Welcome to inflation. PC prices always fluctuate. My GTX 680's were $700 a pop back in 2012/2013. That's $1000 today just about and I had three of them.

If you want to game on a budget, you always have that option. You only need the best of the best if can afford the best of the best. Buying a generation older, or discounted is still fine.

And think about it, you paid over $300 for a 1080p monitor. 1080p. One that has very poor contrast ration, no local dimming, horrible HDR bightness, bad verticle viewing angle for an IPS, with weak color accuracy and poor gray and black Uniformity.

That's what you paid $300 for. For 1080p, with little quality. Let's compare it to the "Outrageous" prices one, shall we?

Oh, look at that... Far better in EVERYTHING, HMMM.... It's like... You get what you pay for, GASP! Shocking!

You're crying over, comparing cheap and poorly featured hardware, to high featured hardware. Of course there is a price difference, yeesh...

The res is perfectly fine for 27". 4K at this size is for eagles and stupid rich kids to compensate for something short, not following reason.

OTOH I still keep away from oled on burn-in fear, didn't see convincing reports that problem is solved for good. At the price I expect it gone.

PC gaming is perfectly fine with 300 monitor and 400 gpu. And can be done on much less tuning off some pixel nuances.

Some people get a meltdown if their rig is cheaper than someone else in the world. Or can only get 250 excess fps over the amount visible. Or have some setting that is not pushed all the way to the right. That has nothing to do with gaming, just personality and lack of development.
