I definitely like my new 240hz 4k oled HDR monitor, though. They're getting there! The data rate it's pushing through the displayport cable for uncompressed 4k HDR is something 80gb/s though. Absolutely mind boggling. Huge upgrade from my 1440p 165hz IPS monitor that had huge amounts of smearing when playing games.

What model is your new monitor?

The ASUS PG27UCDM 26.5" 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) 240Hz Gaming Monitor [0] paired with an RTX 5090 for my home desktop, but I got a USB switcher (for peripherals), and keep it on my standing desk that I plug in my work laptop too with a USB-C to DisplayPort cable. Only 60hz on the work laptop but I really like having a quad monitor setup in a T shape (3 27” monitors and the laptop plugged in with screen open below the central monitor, which is the OLED). It’s great for both productivity and for gaming. I turned off HDR for work, though.

The only annoying thing is every couple hours it asks me to run a 7 minute pixel refresh cycle to avoid burn in, but according to the dashboard I run it every 2.5 hours or so when I go on breaks, so I think I’m good.

Overall the monitor is just fantastic, my LAN party buddies and I dreamed about OLEDs like this back in 2003 and kept saying it was “just around the corner”. The biggest thing is in dark scenes in games there’s absolutely zero noticeable smearing.

I hear OLEDs aren’t ideal for text display (and, ergo, productivity uses). Does this not match your experience with this monitor?
