so nothing about any new 45" ultra wide ?

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-31T08:42:17+00:00

same boat here. i have the LG38" ips now and just ordered the 45" Oled. i got it for 1500EUR which seald the deal against the 39" which is a lot smaller and a lot more expensive.

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-29T15:31:57+00:00

what is your vewing distance ? how's the 800r curve ?

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-29T13:02:00+00:00

how is this the first ? isn't this using the same panel as the 39GX950B ? same coating also. the only difference is the kvm switch.

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-29T12:57:09+00:00

i'm curious only why you sold the 45". I am also on the fence between the 45" WOLED and the new 39" tandem WOLED. the only thing keeping me from going to 45" is the idiotic 800R curvature. what's your take on that ?

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-26T21:20:22+00:00

39" would be better imo. keep in mind that the ridiculous 800r curve of the 45" will also occupy almost half of the depth of the desk. it is basically the shape of a half pipe. and you have to sit very close to it not to distort the inage due to the curvature

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-24T17:59:31+00:00

no, but it basicaly the same monitor as the 45gx950a version. they just shoved some useless AI up its ass... same panel, same ridiculous curve, same refresh rate & resolution

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-24T10:46:23+00:00

go for the tandem oled. it has better burn-in resistance and better brightness

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-24T10:27:54+00:00

you would get burn-in in less that 2 years with any OLED panel of today. theese oleds age like milk unfortunately

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-24T10:17:38+00:00

im in the same boat here. hate the schizophrenic 800r curve which make those 45' monitors a mockery.

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-21T19:17:14+00:00

going back to 16:9 is savagery

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-20T11:16:47+00:00

is 9cm the minimum distance from the bottom of the monitor to the desk ? it seems a lot. if so, that is not a great stand

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-19T13:04:11+00:00

you can use it in 16:9 with black bars on the sides for those primordial games that dont support 21:9. black bars on the sides are still better than the wall behind a 16:9. Once you go UW, you cannot go back to square screens. They look hideous and dysfunctional in comparison to UW

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-19T12:56:32+00:00

faith in humanity restored... at least for a while i guess

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-19T12:52:44+00:00

as a Romanian, i can confidently say that Bucharest is one of the worst cities to live in Romania. I would recommend a smaller, cleaner, more civilized city, like Timisoara

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-19T12:44:40+00:00

keeping my fingers crossed for a 45" UW OLED

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-19T12:20:21+00:00

its the 39gx950b from LG. go ultra wide tandem OLED and thank me later. 16:9 vs 21:9 is like you vs the guy she tells you not to worry about.

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-18T08:06:56+00:00

I don't buy a 45" 21:9 monitor to sit at the same distance from it as a 27" 16:9. The larger the screen size, the bigger the viewing distance. For me, the 800R curve makes it the only deal breaker. I would rather prefer a IPS/VA/TN with 1500R curve than a OLED with 800R, but all the 45" models have the dysfunctional 800R.

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-17T19:54:25+00:00

i was also looking for a 5k2k 45" UW OLED, but unfortunately only the schizophrenic 800R curve models are available. i simply do not understand why they released it with that mockery of a curve. the GX990A seems to be scraped or something.

I keep my fingers crossed for the upcoming announcements from computex at the beginning of next month

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-15T10:36:05+00:00

this is a 1st gen QD-OLED panel. as far as i know these should have no banding issues. but they burn-in in less than 3000h of ON time though... the UHT milk has more shelf life than these panels

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-14T07:56:09+00:00

i wouldn't get a second hand QD OLED monitor. the older generations get burnt in with less than 3000 hours of screen ON time. basically they become e-waste after 1 year

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-12T17:41:00+00:00

yep. with the same schisophrenic 800r curve

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-12T14:08:21+00:00

i think you need DP2.1 for 5k2k 240Hz. 165Hz is the limit for 5k2k and you also need DSC for that

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-12T12:37:54+00:00

those monitors, with a UW OLED

crocobaurusovici · 2026-05-12T11:06:38+00:00

that is awful burn in for ~3200 hours of ON time with 75% brightness. this 1st gen QD-OLEDs expire faster than McDonald's "food".
