LG's 48-inch 4K OLED TV with G-Sync begins to roll out

cliche question......BURN IN??

As long as your careful and vary your content you will be fine, dont play the same game for several hours a day.


I would not recommend OLED as an every day use monitor for browsing the net or doing work, your better off keeping a regular monitor for that and use the OLED for playing games and watching videos.

Interesting, I wonder if this will make for an impressive Movie watching TV, or is their other line of TV's better for that?

Hopefully the real benefits of this will come at the end of the year, if the new consoles support VRR tech.

Still limited use to most PC gamers as you don't want one of these on your desk, and keyboard/mouse on a sofa is still horribly frustrating, but if the next gen consoles support it....could be a bit of a gamechanger. Won't care so much about fluctuating framerates then

You know you can use game controllers with PCs, right?

That's really great! It's just sad I'm not employed anymore because of covid... But I'll be sure to grab one once I get a new job.
For whoever is concerned with burn-in this is not an issue any longer. You know, TVs are actually the worst case scenario for burn-in because of eternally constant logos on news and sports channels but that does not get burned in on the newer OLED models for quite a while. No game match this problem because HUDs in videoges go away in cutscenes and menus and so you'll never have the same pixels with the same information for hours on end and will never have even a chance of getting burn-in problems.

I had a plasma TV for nearly 10 years and it never had any burn in - I just don't think it's an issue outside of public venues leaving them on 24/7. My phone is OLED and I doubt it'll be an issue there either, despite having a clock time showing permanently -it jitters so spreads life over several pixels. With 4k pixels I wouldn't mind losing a few around the edge for similar functionality in a TV/monitor (where are the OLED monitors??!)
