The real story in monitors this week was the alienware QD-OLED 32" ultrawide (ugh) curved (ugh) for only $1300.
It’s worth mentioning that display scaling was one of many dealbreakers that made desktop Linux unusable for me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28490753
I’m pessimistic about any of this getting fixed in the next few years.
That Alienware monitor is clearly targeted for gaming. Regular 4k is already difficult enough to achieve in AAA games, expanding that to an ultrawide aspect ratio would only make getting acceptable performance harder.
That has since become “micro LED”. Samsung makes a micro LED TV, but it costs six figures, and is only available in something like 80” and above.
When it’s finally affordable it will almost certainly unseat OLED as quality king though. All the upsides with no burn in or peak brightness issues.
It never did. Not on any reputable rumours site and as far I am aware not even on non-reputable ones like wccfTech.
>Afaict it is a rebranding of FALD. We have nearly the same number of dimming zones as we did 5 years ago.
You will need to find me a 500 local dimming zone in a 27" Monitor 5 years ago. I can assure you there is none.
I thought that was microled? Which does all that and seems like a strict upgrade over oled. However, there are currently just about 4 models on the market and starting prices are at 100k.
