OLED vs IPS - difference

[KrzysiuM]

Iam already using 4K monitor on ips with 144hz. Will there be a huge difference between 4K ips display vs oled one? Or should i wait for something better like newer versions of OLED Panel?

[_I_]

imho, i would still wait another year or more for oled to get better
they will still burn after a year or so of usage

they use methods to hide burn, or burn more evenly or overdrive burned pixels
pixel shift (blending burn) or burn inverse image(burn everything), or overdrive/brighten pixels that are dimming (make burn worse over time)

static and bright images burn faster than moving images
desktop taskbar/clock and icons, or games hud

tldr: if you dont mind replacing it in a few years, go for oled
or stick with led backlit panel (tn/va/ips)

I mean, the level of detail is much more in an OLED monitor, due to proper brightness and blacks being pixels that are shut off

Maintenance of one is easy. Just refresh it when it prompts you to. It's kinda nice because then I have a perfect excuse for a small break

All oled needs is to have higher refresh rates

The quantum dot oled monitors don't burn in fast at all. Just...leave the monitor off when not using it, make your desktop all black and don't keep folders on the desktop.

I'm a year into mine. I see no burn in. I even looked right up at the screen

detail depends on res
oled can have lower g-g time *depending on its controller
lcd now measure the pulse time the backlight on, so its not g-g anymore
lcd panel true g-g depends on the panel not controller, overshooting colors to make pixels change faster, and flicker backlight when its the correct color

oled has no backlight bleed since there is no backlight, and when subpixels are off there is no light from them

some lcd panels have zoned dimming, so all black or dark area will lower backlighting to make them show less backlight bleed in the zone
but if one sub pixel in that zone is bright the backlight for that zone will need to be bright

q-dot oled still burn, they just hide it better

I would stick to ips for now.

I personally did not see a difference when i switched from tn to ips, so i doubt i would see a difference going from ips to oled either.

Why small OLEDs like in smartphones (ex. many Samsung Galaxy-es) are so cheap while larger ones (monitors and TVs) are so expensive? I'd think it would be hard to manufacture these diodes in micro detail. But no, smartphone OLEDs with tiny pixels are affordable for many people, while OLED monitors are in "deluxe" niche. At least now, maybe later they will become cheaper.

phones are not cheap
average smart phone is around $1000usd
prices are hidden behind service with phone payment plans
pay over ~2-3 years

lcd panel (ips/tn/va) will last over 10 years with no burn even if on 24-7
oled will burn after 1-3 years if used ~8hrs a day

Also i heard that OLED panels have problem with flickering so its another problem with them besides of pixel burning. Already i have MSI MPG Optix MPG321UR and wanted to switch to MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED but now i have doubts if thats even worth it…

The only major difference I have noticed is in the black tones, and it really had to be two screens side-by-side. IPS looked like an off-gray, oled look super dark.

One looked more vibrant than the other. Reds, greens, etc. but not for the price difference.

Is that worth paying 1000 more for? I think not.

I don't know where you live, but most shops where I live will allow you to see difference yourself.

For me, deeper blacks weren't worth it. Most games I play had little to no benefit on screens with the same coverage, mainly because when you are playing games you are not looking at a still object.

I don't know how other people's vision works, but I cannot really "see" detail when things are in motion, certainly not colors. Only in slow or still images. A 1000 USD more for better still images sounds stupid. If I want it that bad, my phones/tablets have OLED and AMOLED screens. I can just use those.

Most content was notably different in HDR, however my eyes cannot stand HDR2000 at max brightness, so I gotta lower it. But at the 400-600 nit level the color difference is harder to perceive on the monitor that I have except the obvious black, red,green,blue differences.

It's hard to explain, but what I mean is that once you deviate from the manufacturer's preset or suggestions, the performance of the oled vs IPS might not be as huge as advertised. I don't own a coloromiter to recalibrate the screen when I "deviate" because the defaults kill my eyeballs


TLDR: Would I do it? No. Not really worth it, at least at this time.


Now if you are an artist and want one to compare how images look on various screens then that is a separate matter since there is a difference and that can affect your final work product.

OLED is a much richer looking display due to have true to life deep blacks in the image.

It is still however not entirely affordable for larger screens yet. It's fine for phones and soon to be on iPads but it'll be a while before you can pick one up at the current IPS panel prices.

Thats more than enough. Thank you

i would buy IPS, because of burn-in troubles with the OLED-thing...as mentioned above.

I have multiple oled screens. amoled, qd-oled and use a single 1440p qd-ips ( for static content ).

there is a massive gap between the two technologies however that is only perceivable in darkness. the image pops because of the nigh infinite contrast. blacks are inky deep blacks. then there is the pixel-response that blows the best LCDs out of the water. motion is smoother.

however here are few vital questions:
- are you planning to use this in a lit room with no light control?
- - if that's the case, the difference is negligible and your money wasted.

- do you plan on using it as your daily driver?
- - then avoid oled. you will encounter dead pixels faster than witnessing permanent image
retention. that is unless you wasted your cash on lg's woled which are terrible.

honestly try out oled in the form of portable screens. they are fairly cheap and you can think of getting something bigger down the line.

you will encounter dead pixels first. believe me I've had experience with these displays. in general you should never use oled as your daily driver. ips will last you longer.

oled is great if you are using it for content consumption like movies and gaming.

MSI have 3 years warranty from burning pixels so it seems that they are confident about their monitor. But sure i ll stay with my ips anyways

Usually iam playing in dark so i would be awesome but minuses are tok big imo
