LG announces the first 1440p 240Hz OLED monitor and it only costs $999

Tearing is minimal and I couldn't notice any lag compared to the previous 1080p 144hz TN panel. Granted it still has the RGB ring thingy but that's pretty easy to disable permanently.

If you get two it's the closest thing to a 7680 x 2160 screen you can get, bezels on the higher end LG product lines are the thinnest I've seen.

For professional design work, nothing beats the XDR or studio display from apple but capped at 60hz.

Also, samsung and Gigabyte build is really cheap plastic. Display is fine for the price.

I'm the developer and have the same exact use case: viewing one window at a time on a single space, instantly switching between them.

I used to map those hotkeys manually using Karabiner, skhd or BTT before, but I figured a semi-dynamic tool might fit this better.

Another thing that's useful for me is using yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai) with its Stack layout, which automatically maximizes any window (with or without padding if you want)

Basically:

    brew install yabai

    yabai -m config layout        stack

    brew services start yabai

I have a dual monitor setup including a 48" OLED and Love it. It's the perfect size and I will not go smaller ever again. I can sit back in my chair and still be able to read everything.

The 48" monitor is exactly the same size as two 27" monitors in portrait, so it's great for two windows next to each other - say if I'm programming on the left and have stackoverflow on the right.

The other monitor is mostly for stuff I'm not using at the time, like foobar2k or some window that I want to keep an eye on but don't need to use at the moment. Or youtube.

The only monitor I found was an apple studio monitor.

The LG one is 5+ years old and the build isn't great.

So there's two options.

Rest of the manufacturers are using 4K panels.

LinusTechTips did a good comparison with an actual pro player iirc.

Sounds boring, I know, but honestly the thing I love most out of my 280 monitor is how nice and snappy the mouse moves around. It's neat.

Does it make a difference? I think so: When working with music software, the difference between those latency numbers are very noticeable. Around 5ms you stop noticing the latency itself, but down around 2-3ms a new perceptual effect appears: It feels physically real. It’s perceived as a kind of heft or tautness. It’s quite clear when you’re playing a software synthesizer and turning knobs and try different buffer settings.

The brain is capable of sensing the timing difference between touch and vision and sound if you change the delay of the stream of sound.

I’m fairly sure the vision system would also allow for a difference in feel if we change the delay on the video stream.

Of course, more frames per second isn’t the only way to do it. You can theoretically run at a lower framerate while simply always guaranteeing that the frames you do show are very very new.

Nevertheless, I hope that in a not too distant future there will be affordable high quality 4k >=120 Hz monitors.

Before the transition to LCD monitors, almost 2 decades ago, few CRT monitors were so bad as to not have at least a 90 Hz frame rate. Their better responsivity and rendering of movements were very noticeable in comparison with their LCD successors, even when ignoring the pixel remanence problems of the early LCD monitors.

The transition from CRT to LCD was a great improvement in size, weight, geometric distortions and screen flicker, but it was a visible regression from the point of view of the lower frame rate.

Hopefully, this will be corrected eventually, so that it will be no longer necessary to choose between a 4k resolution and a high enough frame rate.
