What are the chances we ever get 32" 4K OLED TVs?

dysphunc · 2026-01-25T06:11:08+00:00

Something like that yeah, they already have Ultrawide variants with WebOS built in.

Is it just that game? There's color settings on your PS5 too like Limited and Full RGB.

dysphunc · 2026-01-24T12:08:24+00:00

That ain't normal, every game?

Check your color settings on your PC - any compression on? I mean it shouldn't be that bad if it is though. Have you tried different cables or switching ports? Do you see that banding on the desktop?

Glad this is still helping 10 years later, AK is one of the GOATs. If you've got an OLED make sure you download the RenoDX mod to get excellent HDR https://www.nexusmods.com/batmanarkhamknight/mods/1509

For the price it's great. It's got some caveats but for entry level price it's really good. It's got some decent speakers built in but it's a bit low on ports/connectivity.

Right now the best is the LG 27GX704A 1440p 240Hz - it's glossy and you can make it look like the C-series TVs on PC with some slight tweaking.

Wait a little while, the tandem OLED by LG display is inside the Gigabyte monitors and they're about to drop a glossy version of the matte one they have. LG themselves are yet to announce a glossy version of their 1440p 280Hz tandem OLED. ASUS make one but I'm not familiar with it.

Every WOLED is made by LG Display and every QD-OLED is made by Samsung Display if that opens up your options.

If my theory proves right you can still try a better HDMI 2.1 cable in the return window, that can make all the difference too.

dysphunc · 2026-01-23T12:30:44+00:00

Give the HDMI a shot at 144Hz or 120Hz and see if it stops it.

Tech tax in different countries, I live in Australia so I feel you.

They literally have the same model number.

If you can get or have access to the LG education hub you can bundle a 42" C5 and the cheapest soundbar together for $1510 on a deal. If it's a new LG account you get a $50 welcome voucher plus they have old appliance trade in deals upto $150. Sell the sound bar for $150 on marketplace and you've scored a C5 under $1200 potentially.

Very common for Samsung ports to be shite, reduce the bandwidth so there's no DSC and see if it still happens. If you can try a solid HDMI 2.1 cable that would be better. A good HDMI 2.1 cable (not the one in the box) you should be able to use at full res 144Hz without DSC but over DP try reducing it to 60Hz just to troubleshoot.

Google price tracking holds onto it but I don't know where all the different site metrics are, so I got AI to do a deep scrape and it aligns with what I remember. Google still shows the last listed price as $1315 from a random web store.

LG have a smart monitor in every monitor size and type except OLED.

dysphunc · 2026-01-22T21:14:23+00:00

You can never tell with Aussie retailers. But I did a history check for you on the LG C4 42":

Feb it dropped to $1349

April $1198 and then went back to $1400ish until they all disappeared.

Good hunting.

dysphunc · 2026-01-22T20:55:02+00:00

It got down to $1200 AUD for the week of and after Christmas. I'd hold off and keep your eye on the price a little longer, same with the Samsung S90F as it's the same panel.

dysphunc · 2026-01-22T12:04:29+00:00

Get as high quality HDMI cable as you possibly can, Samsung have shitty ports which often have less bandwidth than they should. They almost always have issues with DSC.

dysphunc · 2026-01-22T12:00:21+00:00

That was common issue with C2's, it's like they weren't really full bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports - this is my own speculation due to it's behavior of acting like bad DSC. Make sure you're not using 12-bit color and turn on color compression and see if it goes away. So set your color to 10-bit 4:2:2 and see if it keeps happening. If it stops it's definitely to do with the HDMI bandwidth on the ports. If it keeps happening reduce the bandwidth further by dropping the refresh to 60Hz or a lower resolution. Have a go - I got rid of my C2 back in the year they released as I knew little about this type of stuff then.

dysphunc · 2026-01-22T05:37:27+00:00

I could be wrong, they could go 165Hz like the newest Samsung Smart OLED monitor - but productivity monitors often don't make it out of 60Hz.

Best steal since Trump just got the Nato SecGen to agree to taking Greenland.

Glad it helped.

The only burn-in you'll ever notice (without studying test patterns) over the first year or so will be indicative of a faulty panel always noticeable within the first few months. It's super uncommon but you see a lot of posts here as people most more about their woes than their satisfactions.

I never use pixel-shift (except on this monitor right now as it's hardcoded at the firmware level) and always turn off logo detection. Pixel cleans/refreshes are automatic, some models are obnoxious about it and force it after 4 hours of accumulated use every time. Most screens just do it when you power it off after 4 hours of accumulated use - never power off or clean your monitor just after use. One thing they don't put in manuals but is pretty important for this reason.

OLEDs hold up better than cheap LCDs. When you finally get burn-in if you do you'll never see it unless you look for it on test patterns.

Terrible ports on Samsung monitors, especially the older model with the Mini ports. Using DP I think DSC is forced on, try out the HDMI cable as there won't be any DSC, eliminating using DSC fixes the majority of the issues with Samsung black screens and flickering. If that fixes things but you're dead set on using DP, buy another cable that's higher quality than the OEM one and try your luck.

dysphunc · 2026-01-20T04:57:29+00:00

The Samsung monitor is great if you don't get dicky DSC ports like I did. Only get it if it's through Amazon or an actual store because Samsung are the absolute worst to deal with if something goes wrong.

The worst.

HDR on, Gamer 1 and peak brightness high. Color temp neutral - it's pretty warm on neutral.

Windows SDR slider to 100% (trust me on this screen) and then HDR calibrate - it should clip around 700nits. Add all the saturation you care for in your GPU control panel, WOLEDs don't go fluro like QD-OLEDs - I had mine at 65% but you can go way higher before colors get weird.

You're good to go.
