for those who have a QD-OLED gaming monitor is it worth it ?

[spellsnare]

Hi

I still don't know if this really worth it because of the price of these expensive gaming monitor and i did see these ''oled'' monitor tend to have burn-in after sometime.

So i really want to know if these monitor worth the price of it and quality, currently i have ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL so i still hesitate if i make the jump or not.

So far i have my eye with MSI MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED, 34" if someone does have it and want to share with me if this worth it or not.

edit : i forget to mention i want a 21:9 gaming monitor (3440 x 1440) since if i goes to 4k that will tank my FPS

They are faster, images really pop, contrast is stunning, and HDR is jaw dropping. BUT, they suffer from text fringing and there is the possibility of burn-in.

That what i'm scared of with the possibility of burn in issue so how is it ? Is this a high possibility ? Is this bound to happen ? Because for that price i expect that monitor will last me at least 5 or why not 10 years ?

Or should i stick with my old monitor ?

I'd say that with modern OLEDs burn-in isn't really an issue. I own multiple OLED tvs and monitors some are several years old and they show no signs of burn-in at all. I don't treat them any different than I would any other display. If you plan to run static white backgrounds at 100% brightness for hours on end then maybe in that case don't buy an OLED. You can look at places that have done multiple month/year burn-in test and even when they are trying to cause burn-in the results are usually minimal. Manufacturers are also covering burn-in under multiple year warranties so obviously they aren't worried about it.

As far as lasting 5 or 10 years, there is no reason it can't. OLEDs pixels have an expected lifespan of around 100,000 hours. You are far more likely to have some other component of the display fail in that time frame which would be the same regardless of display type.

damn that a shame so i think i will wait until they resolve that issue.

Because to throw 1 000 $ CAD that pretty hurt in the wallet if the monitor doesn't last

The picture quality on these is good. Every color pops. Additionally you get nigh infinite contrast and fast pixel response time and higher motion resolution. However the screens coating is sensitive. It can easily scratch

With that said if you plan to use it for gaming and content consumption then you should be fine. However it's unsuitable for browsing

I have multiple oled screens and I still haven't noticed burn-in. On my c1 I noticed dead pixels in the corners but that's it. My psvita, amoled phones, galaxy tab and iPad Pro are still fine

how much time you have it ? and what you mean by browsing ? I do all with my current PC so if i browse i will most likely have these burn in ?

The TV? From release. Back in 2022. The amoled phones? Some of them are 6yo. My psvita also since release. My Cx - I always confuse it for the c1 - since 2020 but LG has notoriously awful quality control. Magnitudes worse than Samsung. The galaxy tab is 3yo and iPad Pro a year old

My old Iphone X has some burn in but it's super hard to notice and I need to look for it. It's the battery icon that has a faint ghost left.
But even old OLED/QD-OLED/AMOLED still should look better than an LCD screen.

Few years old smart phones should give some idea how burn ins should look like.

If you take a little care with the monitor then 5 years sounds reasonable. Don't forget that many of them have three year warranties. But 10? I don't know. I have just passed the two year mark with mine. It's still fine by the way, but all monitors, including IPS, do lose picture quality over time. I notice a loss of red over time with IPS. The cheaper the monitor the more orange the reds are even to start and it gets worse with time. You want to see what real red looks like then get an OLED! You will be shocked how bad your old IPS looks in comparison.

damn didn't know that if this really worth it i will buy one when the MSI CQPX will have another sales seem i miss that current one

[skOsH♥]

I passed the warranty for mine in terms of replacing it if it had any burn in

It has no burn in, 3 years in. This is me taking care of it and making sure I have it off and not random windows open on it static in background

And I resize all videos I watch to display to the size of the screen. Having unused parts of the screen when playing media is just a bad idea. I have a plugin that will scale it to fit my screen at 21:9

[Skyblue]

yeah. OLED in general is worth the cost.

>last 10 yrs

Realistically 10yrs from now everything will be in a different state and a 1440p 21:9 will be what 720p is in current year, 4090 will be potato etc.

I could safely say 5yrs though, some of them have 3yr warranties and even if you do get burn in, you can run different tools to remove it.

Stop this burn in trash you sound like a zombified consumer boomer whos friend knew a guy whos cousins dogs owner got burn in. THERE ARE NO THREADS ON BURN IN... Period.


Its really sad, This causes people to buy IPS in 2025. Which is like buying a manual cranked rolly royce for your work commute in 2025. You sound so silly too when some basic research would shows they have pixel shifting, Pixel refreshing and a base 3yr burnin warranty...
