My ViewSonic 32inch monitor is somewhat dead. half screen. is dark and content is hard to observe. sometime fixes itself. Now the issue is its max 75hz. My primary is already a LG 27inch 2k 144hz monitor. both are being used on Mac and windows. LG one is really bad with color reproduction if related to work. I almost have to drag the work UI to confirm color accuracy on my 32 inch monitor.

So working or monitor is normally one for 12 to 14 hrs daily. I might not be using it but it’s on.
My plan is to make new 32inch 4k my primary monitor and the 27inch one secondary one. what options do I have here?

mentioned working hrs for the burning in issue with oled. ips don’t give true darks.

  1. productivity work is (coding+ui +video editing)

  2. Gaming is Valorant, CS 2, and anything else in gaming.

no one in same dilemma :smiling_face_with_tear:

The OLED Burn-In Test: 18-Month Update | TechSpot https://share.google/GRaL6z1qjVyuky6rO
I guess OLED burn-in is a thing of the past. Unless you have something static (like the taskbar)
It’s not a problem. And also, monitors have pixel refresh/cleaning or whatever it’s called for burn-ins. So your best upgrade must be OLED.Can see mini LED monitor as other option.
If your work is something really static in nature then I won’t recommend this. But if you do might as well use this.

Has I said, coding and that to around 10 to 12 hours daily. so confused on what to do.

any coder use oled monitors as a daily drivers :sweat_smile:

I am in the same position but AFAIK OLED is still not ready for long hours of productivity use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whuHuM9h88M

Mini LED may be better but for now I will just stick to IPS until OLED becomes cheap enough that replacing it every few years can be justified.

do we have 32 inch 4k high refresh rate ips monitors?

7

I don’t game a lot so I am happy with 60hz basic IPS. Only OLED gives you best of both worlds , until then you either have to choose a gaming monitor or productivity monitor.

the pain! color reproduction is also a big part of my life at some extend. so confused :frowning:

Not recomnended. As far as color goes, you can look at calibrated options like Asus Proart. I personally have not used them though.

Edit : Short of professional calibration equipment one can do some of it using settings -

I am using it, but take a lot of precautions and dont have space for 2 monitors. Worst case if it burns badly, i will buy a new one but hoping for 5+years. We have 3 years warranty.

Best case i think is to code on IPS and play on oled, since you plan to have two monitors. This was my ideal but i dont have space.

32 4k oled is beautiful, but you can also go with 1440p 27 oleds which are much cheaper and faster.

Another alternative is a miniled but it does have pros and cons that you should check first.

mini led 32inch available ? as much as I can see, its 27 inch!

15

why are we still not primary Market for this companies, I wonder!

Samsung neo g7 was an option when i was looking, around 70k but ideally it should be priced lower now as there is oled competition.

It still seems to be in same area, i would rather have IPS 4k 32 + oled 27 anyway. oled 27 are in 50s and they have been falling.

17

I think 27 inch 4k would be too much from text clarity. that’s why I was looking for a 32 inch one.

18

i meant 27 oled 1440p to play games and 4k 32 ips for work. Also neo g7 is 32 4k

27 1440p oleds are much cheaper vs 32 4k oleds + faster panels + will be easier to run. ( but 32 4k is quite nice )

Else i guess 32 4k oled + 1440 27 ips should be a great combo too. If neither is appealing, then look at minileds.

Also note - oleds will look best in darker rooms ( for games ). If you prefer bright room, then check for reviews and maybe consider miniled.

I use 32 4k oled only, my ideal combo is probably 32 4k oled for games/media and 1440p ips/miniled for work.
