    I see every new lineup of monitors already have new freesync labeling.

    Freesync premium pro sounds better than gsync compatible. :D

    @Undying !
    Problem is that I was expecting better HDR with freesync premium , not the entry lvl 400. Also, why does the 27' have 120% SRGB and the other 90 % P3 are they the same ? Whould have been nice to see the 27 also at 1440p ....
    This year it's monitor time for me :D , haven't changed mine in 10 - 11 years :(

    The 48 inch LG Oled seems the only interesting "gaming" display for this year. I can't wait for it to be released.

    It's silly. 48" size isn't comfortable for typical PC desk gaming with keyboard and mouse setup. It would be nice if LG made these OLEDs in more reasonable 30"-35" sizes for PC use.

    This 48" version is too big for desk and too small for living room. Don't see much use for it personally. Maybe it's cool for kids living in dorm rooms or something, but then again. such demographic doesn't have that much money to spend on OLED.

    That's why LG didn't bother with 48" OLED before. No one buys this TV size any more. 65" is where it's at, and 55" is still somewhat popular size, but I think it's dropping in popularity in favor of 65".

    It's not silly. It's suitable for someone like me, for instance, that doesn't have such a big living room in which to hang or place a 55+ inch TV.
    48 is much better, but yeah, even smaller would have been great. Since this is all we'll be getting, I'll happily pay the price for the 48 inch when it will be launch (hopefully by April).

    32" and 1440p... is that as blurry as 27" 1080p? Anyone first hand experience?

    No. 32" 1440p have same pixel density as 24" 1080p.

    Thx! Right now i was looking into it :D

    Does not sound to bad... i want to jump to a 32" screen and that may be a good start with a high refresh. 4k in 2025+.

    Nobody is gonna use OLED. I have no reason to play different games each day to no cause burn in. And is too big. Only ultra-wide, you can sit near and play over 33". That's gamers' reality.

    The big advantage with the OLED is that it brings allmost perfect HDR at a smaller price then the micro leds or HDR1000 FALD displays.
    I'd rather pay 1500$ for a 48 inch OLED then 3000$ for a 35 inch VA FALD display. For the casual gamer, that likes the immersion of a game more then anything, I believe that OLED is perfect. For competitive gamers, OLED is nonsense, it will burn in in a couple of months and it's too big to be useful. Different users have different needs. It's wrong to assume that nobody will buy it.

    Panel type?

    Not even the website has info on it, while that's the most important thing to know.

    As someone who has run a 55" LG OLED TV as their monitor for well over a year now, I gotta tell you - don't knock it till you try it. I have a 39" deep desk pushed against a wall, and the TV mounted flat on the wall is not "too big" (the TV itself is only 1" thick and I use a flush wall mount). It fills your field of vision, yes, but the amount of head movement needed is not even noticeable, especially in games where most elements are either big enough to pick up with your peripheral vision or in the middle of the screen. The THX recommended viewing distance for a 50" 4k screen is only 4.2 feet, so with a big desk 48" isn't too far out of line for a monitor.

    The bigger thing you should concern yourself with is screen burn. It takes VERY little to embed an image in a big OLED - the task bar and desktop icons will be burned in after a week if you are using a bright theme and the screen brightness is cranked up. You can run the screen refresher a few times to make it go away, but I know from Rtings testing that it's eventually going to be permanent - I had a BSOD happen once when I was away for a few hours, and it took half a dozen 1-hour refresh runs to make the burn in go away. As such, I now run a dark grey desktop background with a taskbar that's the same color, Windows' dark theme, and I turn the monitor off when I am going to be away for any length of time.

    I dont know abou OLED, but for me is LG 50'' PLAZMA 60hz/fps vs LCDs Freesync/Gsync vs LCDs 120hz/fps with strobelight vs DLP PROJECTOR 2Dor3Dmod => PLAZMA is still the best gaming experience :) PLAZMA RULEZ => I will NEVER buy LCD again, maybe I'll try OLED in long distance future ;) but I am not sure about OLED either
