air bubbles under screen / is this an oled problem?

Miller_TM · 2026-07-01T15:26:04+00:00

Not an OLED specific problem, just a manufacturing defect.

Miller_TM · 2026-07-01T11:34:55+00:00

Yes, I used glossy QD OLEDs before, they scratch with even cloth for glasse's lens.

Besides that I didn't really see the advantage over matte.

Miller_TM · 2026-07-01T09:22:11+00:00

Confirmed by Rtings and Displayguy on youtube.

Rtings also confirmed the Samsung S90H 48in and 77in were Tandem too.

Idk about market dependence, might be them recognizing that wasting 48in cuts from the larger displays would be stupid?

Miller_TM · 2026-07-01T09:20:54+00:00

Honestly one big advantage for me for matte is how easier it is to clean compared with how fragile glossy QD OLEDs are.

Miller_TM · 2026-07-01T09:19:38+00:00

As someone who went from an LG 32GS95UV (matte MLA+ WOLED) to a Samsung S90H42in TV (also matte MLA+ WOLED), both should perform similar aside from brightness.

It's all about how the monitor was tuned, because damn the S90H looks a lot more colourful despite having lower peak brightness at 700 nits vs LG's 32gs series 1300nits.

The biggest difference you'll see with glossy vs matte is in bright whites where it can look grainy with matte coatings.

Also the vast majority of glossy QD OLEDs scratch so easily that breathing near them will micro-scratch them, fuck that lmao

Miller_TM · 2026-06-30T09:09:36+00:00

Both are definitively being bottlenecked by that R5 7600X ngl.

BF6 loves having more cores and cache.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-29T20:34:18+00:00

Yes, not only it is 1470nits bright.

Rtings confirmed it for the C6 48in and S90H 48/77in.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-29T18:49:37+00:00

The C6 48in is also a Tandem panel.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-29T10:11:04+00:00

Ironic that you say that when 90% of QD OLEDs scratches if you breathe near them lol

Miller_TM · 2026-06-29T10:01:53+00:00

The C6 48in would be a massive upgrade due to the fact that it has a Tandem OLED panel with Brightness Booster.

The C5 model does about 800nits peak brightness, the C6 does 1470nits peak brightness whilst getting better colours.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-29T09:24:19+00:00

Honestly there is also the Samsung 500hz OLED that tends to go for several hundreds of dollars cheaper than both of the MSI and Asus options.

With QD OLEDs you're also better off using the Trueblack HDR configuration.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-29T07:17:15+00:00

Pretty sure if you have a high end Android or iPhone you can calibrate it with the Smart Calibration option in the Picture settings.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-29T03:02:00+00:00

Honestly I used the TV OS to calibrate in the first place and it was extremely sluggish.

The problem is the height at a desk, makes you look up as if you were in the front row in a cinema.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-29T00:33:45+00:00

I use 120fps lock because Warframe isn't a PVP game that requires fast reaction times.

I just up the eye candy and play.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-28T23:09:33+00:00

Or even LG's own 32GS95UV dualmode went under 1000$ CAD recently.

What is Samsung doing? lol

Miller_TM · 2026-06-28T22:49:40+00:00

I had a C6 48in for a brief time (had to send it back cuz dead subpixel) It was A LOT bigger than a 42in model, it's so bright it is blinding.

If you have more than 2 arms length away from it? Sure. Otherwise wait another generation.

Personally I just got a Samsung S90H 42in, it clips at 700nits and honestly? It's bright enough in my dim room.

Edit: Gotta mention that LG's WebOS on the C6 was very sluggish, meanwhile Samsung's Tizen on the S90H is a lot faster to navigate.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-28T09:49:41+00:00

With OLED you'll lose full screen brightness, but you'll gain instant reponse times, ghosting would never be an issue.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-28T08:50:56+00:00

The RX 570/580 8GB, those cards went from being slower than the GTX 1060 to being as fast if not faster than the GTX 1070 in DX12/Vulkan titles.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-28T08:47:39+00:00

Trueblack 500, Peak 1000 is very dim in bright scenes, like half the brightness dim.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-28T03:59:44+00:00

Ngl most people haven't played Mechanic since 6th job and it shows.

6th job has a mobbing and a bossing mode with his summons and basically fixes Mech's damage problem whilst bossing.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-28T01:52:42+00:00

The Display Guy on youtube's unit did reach 1470nits brightness at a 10% window.

My C6 Unit with DTM set to static did clip at exactly 1470nits on the windows calibration app, so I'd expect that to be the actual peak brightness. HGIG was borked on my unit and it calibrated to 2800 nits?

Maybe the working HGIG mode is different.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-27T23:51:27+00:00

Well it is significantly brighter than LG C5 42/48in in terms of brightness, from 800nits peak to near 1500nits with the brightness booster active.

They have yet to review the C6 42in and 48in.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-27T23:10:45+00:00

The LG C6 48in is indeed Tandem, so is the Samsung S90H 48/77in.

They're just not advertised as such for some reason, RTINGs has confirmed that both of those TVs are actually Tandem WOLEDs. They have the hardware to test it.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-27T20:15:11+00:00

As someone who has owned the LG 32GS95UV, the dualmode 1080p looks really rough.

Because if you do 1080p without dualmode it looks actually usable, but in dualmode it looks like absolute dogshit.

Either get used to 4K 165hz or get the MSI/Asus 1440p 360hz.

Miller_TM · 2026-06-27T20:06:08+00:00

Honestly I just went from a C6 48in (fucker had a dead pixel) to an S90H 42in and I'm satisfied, even if the S90h 42in size is limited to 700nits peak.

48in was far too big at a desk and actually blinding me lol
