Re: Monitor vs TV
I’m really thinking about getting that Gigabyte M32U monitor. However, a friend of mine, who I value his opinion on timings like this, told me I should consider getting a 42” OLED and just using that as my monitor. Thoughts?

Re: Monitor vs TV
What is your setup? How far from the screen will you sit?
Like was already said. Monitors are typically better with regards to pixel density, because the average monitor is smaller than the average TV since you're typically closer to the monitor, and the input lag on a monitor is second to none.
If you're looking to chill out on the couch feet from the screen, then the 42 inch TV is probably a fine choice. If you're going to be close to the screen, e.g. sitting at a computer desk 18 inches from the screen, I don't think going with a 42 inch TV is the right move.
I think the main questions are where will you be sitting relative to the screen, and do you care about input lag. Picture quality should be lower on the list because you can get plenty of monitors that look as good as great looking TVs and vice versa.“No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.”

Re: Monitor vs TV
Ah, yes. I forgot that we can’t do 1440 on PS5. I guess I’ll just have to get a 4K monitor. I want one anyway. Any recommendations?
I just looked some up. Thoughts on this one? It’s actually cheaper than I expected.[ATTACH]199334[/ATTACH]

Re: Monitor vs TV
Here is an LTT review of the Alienware. It really seems like the best of everything. Really depends how long it takes for others to come out and how much they will cost.

Re: Monitor vs TV
An OLED TV used to play games on is a fine choice, but you have to keep in mind about the major drawback in that they are very acceptable to permanent burn in / image retention. If you can keep that in check, they make a fine choice. Based on reviews from trusted sources, the M32Q is a fine choice as well. One last thing is if you were to happen and use a 42" sitting in close proximity at a computer desk, it'll be fine. I have triple 40's as I'm into sim racing and love them.Comment

The burn-in is undoubtedly a concern for me. Especially with me playing The Show on it with score overlays on there a long time. I remember I burnt in guitar hero on a projection TV back in the day. But I’ve also read that burn-ins on OLED’a are very rare and actually only happen when you leave things on the screen for 9-10 hours every day.

Re: Monitor vs TV
Burn-in should no longer be a concern in modern OLED TV's.
There are so many safeguards built in. Pixel refresh every time you turn the TV off. And I do recommend keeping it off when not in use. The tech is just better now. There have been tests you can watch on YouTube where they will leave the TV on with something permanently on the screen, such as a station logo, or a news/sports ticker for months on end and there is no burn in.
Basically what I'm saying is don't let the fear of burn in stop you from getting an OLED. The benefits far outweigh the risks. And the 55" C1 is like $1,100 right now which is an absolute steal.Comment

Re: Monitor vs TV
I will make it at least the 3rd post in a row playing on an LG OLED. 55" CX for me. The picture is great and, more importantly, the input lag and refresh rate is just about as good as a monitor, so I'm not changing.
The main point is lag/refresh rate, playing on a monitor will be vastly better than a tv with a 30ms input lag and 60hz refresh rate. But if you have a TV that has solid specs for gaming like OLED does, then a TV is the way to go IMO.PSN / Xbox GT - BLUEnYELLOW28Comment

Re: Monitor vs TV
Do you all put your TV's on game mode? I've heard mixed reviews of doing that. I always have, but some say it makes everything washed out.Comment

Re: Monitor vs TV
Game mode typically give you the least amount of input lag, but it also disables some post processing effects which could result in a worse looking image, that would be very tv specific though. Some tv's have a PC mode too which is another fine option to game on.Comment
