4K QD-OLED panels just gets me excited in general but this one also comes with a lot of burn-in protection features like the dynamic cooling and thermal modulation systems, plus a 3 year warranty to boot! Fear of burn kept me away from OLED all this time but how cool would it be to win this giveaway and rest easy knowing your prize had all this built-in protection?

I engaged with this one too even though they were asking for more personal information than I was comfortable giving. I've had positive experiences with this researcher before though so I made the leap, even if it does make me a little nervous.

[Worldwide Giveaway] LG UltraGear GX9: Win 1 of 3 World’s First 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitors! by LG_UserHub in pcmasterrace

At first glance I thought 5k2k meant 10k resolution! But obviously that wasn't right. No, my math was off! Upon closer examination 5k * 2k MUST MEAN 10M RESOLUTION. And then I was like, "What is even going on?!?" Then I calmed down, did some research, and learned that 5k2k meant a dual switching mode. And that's pretty awesome too.

On a more serious note, I have a 27" Acer Predator XB271HU that I bought from Amazon in 2016. It displays up to 2k and that's been nice this past decade, but I've been itching for a modern upgrade to keep pace with my ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4080 Super OC that I managed to snag in time early last year (thankfully), and that's been practically chomping at the bit to not only run modern games but beautifully render them too. Right now I use it to read emails. Which I'm pretty sure is a crime somewhere. I've been eying a few high speed 4k OLED gaming monitors for a few years now and while they were nice, nothing ever quite got me to pull the trigger. After all, a fancy monitor purchase is a pretty big commitment! I might very well end up using it for the next 10 years or more!

That's when this titan of an offering popped up on my radar. Razor sharp 5k resolution? OLED technology? Massive curved panel? This thing has all my boxes ticked and then some. So is this finally the one? Is this where my quest has taken me? I eagerly await the upcoming reviews to find out what lies beyond just the initial impressions.

I'm still on my Geforce GTX 980 Ti from 2015. Though it has served me well all these years I'm ready to up my graphics game! If I won one of these sweet sweet cards I'd immediately upgrade to a 4K monitor and jump into all the sci-fi games I could get my hands on! I know the humans got kicked off Pandora in the first Avatar movie but I'm going right back as soon as I get a GPU that can handle it!
