Monitors OLED Monitors

I actually wanted something in the under ₹80k range (one of those lower refresh rate panels like 145 or 165 hz) so if anyone has any ideas on when these might become available?
Gigabyte's India website mentions the FO32U (165Hz), but I could only find its pricier sibling, the FO32U2P currently in stock. Maybe you can contact them or their distributor to inquire about availability and pricing ( https://www.gigabyte.com/in/WheretoBuy/Consumer?ck=11 )?

You don't want to consider a LG TV?

Yup tried contacting them, they're clueless but I'll try again, thanks!

Nope no TV for me :-) specifically looking for 32 inch and monitor panel...
 
Would you please link 10% coupon landing page? I couldn't find one.
I dont have it now.. but i remember a comment on a oled post on reddit in the indiangaming sub had it.. i actually had tried it on the website back then and it did work.. however i cant recall which topic was it now. neither can i remember the code.. I beleive 10% code is always there.

Infact i think i remember some people on TE also used the code to get monitors from dells website directly.. maybe do a quick search on here and try to dm the poeple who made these purchases, they'll probbably have it.

ASUS PG27AQDP would be my choice of OLED if the thing was available in India that is ;)

But the gigabyte ones are also good and cheaper than the ASUS ones.

Just a heads-up that MSI seems to have some models now available in India :) if their website is to be believed.

See https://in.msi.com/Monitors/Products#?tag=MAG-Series - there are many models but I guess just 4 are OLEDs.

Flagships like the 32 inch flat 240hz (for about ₹ 1 lakh) and 34 inch curved (no idea price) QD-OLEDs and at least also the cheaper 165hz 32 inch model MAG 321UP which I just ordered for a little over ₹85k - apparently in stock in their Chennai warehouse and delivery in 4-5 days. There's also a 27 inch model, maybe others.

I ordered via gtek.in who are in Pune where I am and they also built my new rig - they deliver anywhere I guess - but you can look at the official dealers listed on the MSI website if you want to try to get a better price - maybe waiting for a few weeks for better deals during potential sales/offers closer to year-end.

Enjoy!

PS: Not sure about the latest situation with MSI after-sales service/support what with the bad reputation they have but I feel reassured by going with Gtek folks.
 
Mine arrived a couple of hours ago!

Applied Materials are claiming that this new approach can increase brightness potential by 3x, improve longevity by 5x, increase pixel density to 2000 PPI and reduce power consumption by 30%. The technology will also apparently let display makers produce all types and sizes of OLED panels from a single factory for the first time.
I have been waiting for more than a decade for OLED monitors to become mainstream, if they are able to do this they should get a Nobel Prize.

How bad is the flicker?
To measure you can put 10% gray & full white screen then record it with your phone slo mo cam at 240 fps

I guess it seems okay to me... what about you? The flicker behind the monitor is the fan and light. It was 8x so I guess around 200 fps - does it specifically need to be 240 fps videos???

Looks good. If you do same in LG G4 a top of the line TV heavily marketed for gaming, you'll see terrible flickers. It's causing eye strain since I got it

All OLED monitors or TVs use PWM for brightness control. If you are sensitive to low PWM frequency, bad luck, better opt for FALD LCD based panels instead.
