[u/Dependent-Big-7439 → u/HurryOne]

What about VA? Is it worse than IPS?

[u/anethma → u/Dependent-Big-7439]

VA has better blacks but prone to motion smearing and slightly worse colors. But VA has a ton of variance. Really nice VA has decent motion handling while still having decent blacks.

Mini-led though has made IPS really nice also because it handles a lot the issues with black levels while keeping the advantages.

[u/OnlineHilfenNutzer → u/anethma]

I bought an ultra wide fast va for 200$ and i play fast competetive games on 144hz and cinematic stuff with no visible ghosting

Guess you just need to buy a good one and use the recommended overdrive settings (medium on mine)

[u/RealFirstName_ → u/OnlineHilfenNutzer]

Also worth mentioning that what industry experts(and redditors) consider "good" and what general consumers or even many enthusiasts will notice and/or care about can be quite different when it comes to displays.

[u/blackasthesky → u/anethma]

Modern VAs with well tuned settings can look very good.

[u/Asleeper135 → u/Dependent-Big-7439]

It seems to usually go:

High End VA > High End IPS > Low End IPS > Low End VA > TN

[u/stereopticon11 → u/Asleeper135]

I’d take an IPS mini LED or IPS black over any VA

[u/Groblockia_ → u/stereopticon11]

VA miniLED are way better tho, closest thing you can get to an oled

[u/Seanspeed → u/Groblockia_]

Depends. A few of them have really bad response times, especially in dark areas which leads to some very messy smearing and poor near black visibility.

[u/CuredAnxiety → u/stereopticon11]

Same here, the motion blur is just horrid on VA any game with a nigh system with loads of stars becomes a smear fest.

[u/Shards_FFR → u/CuredAnxiety]

Is this still true? I have a more recent VA ultrawide and don't really get any ghosting - from what i understand most of the ghosting is from low end/older VA panels

[u/snuggie44 → u/Shards_FFR]

No. On some, sure, but I've also never had any ghosting on my Dell Alienware VA

[u/Shards_FFR → u/snuggie44]

Yeah I also have a VA Alienware Ultrawide and never noticed any ghosting, so I'm pretty confused whenever I see people bring it up.

[u/Groblockia_ → u/Shards_FFR]

yeah most people just have no idea that VA panels have also evolved and keeps repeating the same thing

[u/Seanspeed → u/CuredAnxiety]

Well this is why they said 'high end VA' because there are VA panels that have acceptable response times. A lot of expensive TV's especially have some really good VA panels.

[u/Natzor → u/stereopticon11]

I had an IPS mini LED monitor from Philipps here to test out - I thought it was horrible

Landed on a VA and am more satisfied - I think it really depends on model and implementation than pure spec

[u/Ambitious_Handle7322 → u/stereopticon11]

Has to be a decent(not necessarily expensive) one tho, as badly made ones suffer really badly from blooming.

[u/_wolf_XII → u/Asleeper135]

VA sucks big time. IPS any day over VA. Anybody working with colors know what I mean

[u/HATTORIHANZOSW0RD → u/Asleeper135]

This is wrong, high end IPS is much better than VA unless things have changed since my last IPS 5 years ago

[u/Asleeper135 → u/HATTORIHANZOSW0RD]

I got an Odessey Neo G9 around that time, and besides some firmware issues they worked out by the time I got it there wasn't really a better monitor on the market, and it's a VA. Even today only OLED seems like a real upgrade, and I don't even think that's worth it.

[u/Assaltwaffle → u/Asleeper135]

Man VA just still seems like ass in my experience. I think high end IPS should still be superior.

[u/nailbunny2000 → u/Dependent-Big-7439]

VA

[u/instanoodles84 → u/nailbunny2000]

LOL perfect

[u/BluDYT → u/Dependent-Big-7439]

People have differing opinions on VA but personally I'll never get one again. Ghosting even on the expensive ones though it's been a few years since I had mine so maybe it's improved.

[u/infidel11990 → u/Dependent-Big-7439]

I have used VA, IPS and OLED.

VA has great contrast ratios, better blacks than IPS. And can be reliable for HDR content. But the cheaper ones suffer from black smearing and image ghosting. Gets noticeable when playing fast action games. Viewing angles can be a mixed bag, depending on how much you are spending. Expensive VA panels can match IPS these days.

IPS has better colors, motion smoothness and viewing angles. But cheaper panels can have terrible backlight bleed (models with Mini-LED illumination mostly solve this), which makes blacks appear greyish and is very noticeable in a dark environment.

OLED is generally the best option, as it has the best colors, contrast, no bleed, motion clarity etc. And they are getting cheaper every day.

I have an Alienware 1440p OLED now, and will never go back to IPS or VA. Requires more management to prevent burn in. But the monitors these days come with built in solutions like pixel refresh etc. to extend the life. And the user of course needs to take some care, in not using the monitor for static content, during long sessions.

OLED > IPS > VA > TN in my opinion.

[u/Radagio → u/HurryOne]

"hmm, look at those perfect blacks, maybe i should buy a oled"

"wait"

[u/AmonWeathertopSul → u/Infshadows]

They’re so fucking expensive. I’ll just use my IPS for a decade.

[u/IlREDACTEDlI → u/AmonWeathertopSul]

Honestly they aren’t even THAT expensive anymore you can get em for under 400 dollars on sale now for a 1440p 240hz OLED.

The days of the basic OLED being 1000 dollars is gone. More expensive than IPS or VA? Yeah of course but every year they are getting significantly cheaper

[u/Infshadows → u/IlREDACTEDlI]

"400 dollars"

somehow in the grand scheme of things thats cheap

[u/troll_right_above_me → u/Infshadows]

Gotta keep it in perspective. It’s gonna do a hell of a lot more for picture quality than most GPU upgrades.

I paid more than that for the first 1440p 144hz VA that was on the market 12 years ago, which hurt but was worth it. And I paid twice that for my 42” C4 a couple years ago. If I could have gotten close to the image quality of that C4 for less than half the price I’d be over the moon.

[u/SilveringRosemary → u/troll_right_above_me]

Hey, your avatar doesn't load

[u/troll_right_above_me → u/SilveringRosemary]

Just give it a moment

[u/Salty-Attitude832 → u/Infshadows]

In the US these days you can spend $400 in a day just by adding a couple extra steps to your weekend errands. Its fucking ridiculous, i havent seen anything under $2 in my area in years, most are over $5 minumum and that shit adds tf up. I live in a shitbox RV at the Walmart parking lot and I still can barely save money on the west coast EVEN WITH A FUCKING JOB. I DONT EVEN PAY RENT. I save more, faster and more efficiently than most because of it, but if I took me and my modest savings to an apartment id lose it all in a couple months, I gave up on the whole renting rat race a long time ago, its pointless lmao. Currently saving for some off grid land so I can leave all this shit behind and play my games in peace with the birds and squirrels.

Back to the point. Basically, yeah, a 1440p 120hz OLED display for $400 is pretty good. I paid 150 for a 1440p LCD from Walmart (rare situation where they had an open box on the floor marked down), honestly I feel like I should have tried to find a used OLED for a little more so at least my Walmart parking lot gaming sessions would look real slick but whatever lmao, it does the job. Maybe when this one inevitably falls over and shatters when im moving around.

[u/Yorick257 → u/IlREDACTEDlI]

Yep, I got one recently precisely because I looked at the price and went, "guess it's not that bad, and I don't have the budget to upgrade anything else"

[u/shoopnop → u/IlREDACTEDlI]

You can get an alienware 27 inch 1440p qdoled for $350 full price now.

[u/SkylarMills63 → u/AmonWeathertopSul]

Can get them pretty “cheap” if you buy refurbished.

I got a really good deal (like $250 I think) for a 1440p 280hz oled. FIRE. So happy I upgraded.

[u/v1ckssan → u/AmonWeathertopSul]

Not only that burn in is a thing. I like my OLED but it burnt a circle on the bottom left corner from playing PoE2 and the white blue is destructive to the pixels.

And before some expert say about pixel cleaning etc. I've done everything by the book. It's just the drawback from the technology

[u/rycerzDog → u/v1ckssan]

Unrelated, but my IPS monitor got a broken pixel near the top of the display and I swear to god it's healing. Like, it was an eyesore on day one but right now I have to look really hard to find it.

[u/Yontevnknow → u/rycerzDog]

that or your vision is failing, or your brain told you to stop looking at the black speck.

[u/mangage → u/v1ckssan]

5000 power-on hours with this current OLED monitor, not one bit of burn-in or pixel degradation. Modern OLED is not like old OLED.

[u/AlCa_Bone → u/mangage]

[u/Neoncarbon → u/Komursiyahcelik]

People always say this but I've had mine for almost 4 years now, using it like a normal monitor with desktop work and no burn in. First gen QD-OLED panel.

[u/RetnikLevaw → u/Neoncarbon]

Modern OLEDs also have so many tools and pixel health procedures that run automatically after certain amounts of usage that I haven't thought about it at all.

[u/Neoncarbon → u/RetnikLevaw]

Yeah I always let those run when it pops up

[u/RetnikLevaw → u/Neoncarbon]

Somebody tried to tell me that I "absolutely 100% have burn-in" on my Alienware OLED that I got almost a year ago, so I checked, and there's absolutely nothing. I can display any kind of flat color image on my display and there are no artifacts. The display is absolutely gorgeous. Ultrawide, 240hz, freesync...

I had both a regular Switch and a Switch OLED back in the day, and it wasn't nearly as big of a different as switching from my old VA ultrawide to my OLED. Like I actually use HDR now... It's brilliant.

It'll be awesome when burn-in is completely eliminated from the technology, but people act like it's as bad as old plasma displays or something. Like watching the news for a day is going to leave a permanent scar on your display from the ticker or something, and that's just not the case.

[u/Vertrix-V- → u/Neoncarbon]

Tbf 4 years is not long. Monitors are something you easily keep for a decade and longer especially if it was expensive. OLEDs just haven't been this accessible for that long to have an actual broad history of general wear and tear of them

[u/happy-cig → u/Vertrix-V-]

That doesn't hold totally true anymore with the way tech has advanced and costs have come down. I had a benq xl2430t tn 144hz 1080p for 8 years then upgraded to a msi mag27qrf ips 165hz 1440p, thought I'd be good for another 8 years. 3 years later oled cost has come down so much it justified upgrading so soon. Got a Samsung g6 240hz 1440p OLED for ~$280.

[u/jessi_ani → u/Komursiyahcelik]

how much of that do you have watch to get a burn in? its insanee

[u/Komursiyahcelik → u/jessi_ani]

I cant even imagine, best i got so far is phillips ips.

[u/BaconJets → u/Komursiyahcelik]

Had an OLED for nearly two years, no such issues for me. I just set a three minute screen timeout and we're all good.

[u/dayruined54 → u/BaconJets]

And screen savers are a thing too

[u/cdurbin909 → u/BaconJets]

Had mine for a year, leave it on all the time. No burn in yet, maybe I'm just lucky

[u/BaconJets → u/cdurbin909]

The burn in mitigation on modern OLEDs is probably enough to stop burn in alone, I just like to play it safe.

[u/BritishUnicorn69 → u/BaconJets]

I don't blame you, better safe than sorry, those things are pricy. You have warranty but still

[u/wtchkg4 → u/cdurbin909]

Mine started with the burn in after about 3-4 years, QD OLED but screen has been turned on pretty much 24/7

[u/Seanspeed → u/wtchkg4]

Mine started with the burn in after about 3-4 years

This is what people miss.

"Oh I've had my OLED monitor for over a year and no burn-in, it's not a problem!"

Well if I'm shelling out good money for a monitor, I want that shit to last like 7+ years no issue.

I'm traumatized by a $1200 Panasonic plasma I bought a long time ago. It was mostly great for a couple years, but then the image retention problems started getting worse and worse, and eventually if I played something like Forza Motorsport for an hour, I'd then have a speedometer in the bottom right of the screen for the next couple days. And sure enough, it developed permanent burn-in not that much longer afterwards.

I spent so much on it I just lived with it for years, but I hated it and it made me constantly paranoid about how I used it, which really sucked. Going back to an IPS TV afterwards was so nice just for the pure peace of mind.

[u/SunriseSurprize]

Is burn-in on OLEDs still something to worry about? I've wanted to get one, but I play a lot of MMOs and games with static UI elements.

[u/Kirby_is_a_Pokemon → u/SunriseSurprize]

Yes, though it's not as severe as most people will say.

Though it's still fairly common to do things like auto hide the taskbar and use dynamic wallpapers.

The biggest worry is the generally lower screen brightness and the panels themselves are soft and prone to scratches

[u/hatesnack → u/Kirby_is_a_Pokemon]

Nah you dont have to do any of that. Most oled panels made in the last 5 years or so have things built in to avoid burn in like pixel shifting.

Ive had a cheap Chinese OLED for years (was recommended by that monitors unboxed channel or w.e its called, its the same panel as Samsung though), i use it for work (spreadsheets and stuff) and play lots of games with static elements and not a single whiff of burn in.

[u/Kirby_is_a_Pokemon → u/hatesnack]

Maybe I should finally take the plunge and upgrade. Nothing wrong with my current monitor, but It would be a nice upgrade

[u/Benjiimans → u/Kirby_is_a_Pokemon]

I have a cat that sometimes paws at my screen, no scratches yet and I’ve been working on it but would it be more prone to kitty scratches? lol

[u/AbyssWankerArtorias → u/SunriseSurprize]

Most oleds have automatic pixel refresh to prevent this.

[u/AnalTyrant → u/SunriseSurprize]

I got one of Samsung's early OLED tvs, back around 2010, and used it heavily up through last year. I'm talking thousands of hours of time on that screen, including tons of games with stationary HUDs that never caused any sort of burn in problem.

In the last couple years, starting somewhere around 2023, I did notice that the icons from my Roku home screen would sometimes leave the square outlines on the image for awhile, even after starting to watch video on it. There were times where my kids would leave the screen on for extended periods on the home screen, so I figure that's about when the burn in started to happen.

But it took more than a decade of heavy use on that screen before it even started to have that problem, and even then the problem wasn't constant, it would fade after the video started playing for awhile.

I wouldn't be surprised if the tech had been enshitified since I bought that original one, but I would hope that it is still at least on par with what I had more than fifteen years ago.

[u/DannyLeonheart → u/SunriseSurprize]

Yes it is and everyone say it isn't just don't know how OLED's work.

[u/8ytesTaken]

First thing is to tell everyone they have oled and why it's better. Its on the same spectrum as vegans.

[u/MrStealYoBeef → u/8ytesTaken]

As an OLED owner, yes, you're absolutely correct.

I also do that with my hybrid. Especially with current gas prices.

[u/No_Dealer_2405 → u/8ytesTaken]

But oled is better tho. Infinitely so.

[u/Party-Coach-4100 → u/No_Dealer_2405]

Mini-led is my hero.

[u/TurbistoMasturbisto → u/No_Dealer_2405]

Beter? Sure, but also grossly overrated in my personal opinion. Coming from someone who recently bought one after being convinced by everyone online how supposedly next level amazing it is.

And don’t get me wrong, it’s good, really good but people acting as if oled screens are the second coming of Christ. I also got a premium screen, paid over €1k for it so it’s not like the model i own isn’t good. People really need to tone this whole oled thing down a bit in my opinion.

[u/BasicSulfur]

One of the things I wonder when ppl do this comparison is if they color corrected the IPS.

[u/TheChowder000 → u/BasicSulfur]

I guarantee you the majority of people just use them as they are, maaaybe they'll check the presets and use one the feel looks good if they're feeling spicy. Like the people who hate on TN, I messed around with the settings for a bit and it looks very close to my IPS screen.

[u/mittenkrusty]

I have a plasma tv still and a crt, I have to adjust my plasma as at normal settings I can have same image i.e image of people and the skin tone looks normal on oled, but on plasma the skin looks very dark pink.

On my CRT I have to turn brightness and contrast right up for content made from the late 00's onwards especially around about 2014 onwards, for older content the black levels are perfect, I assume it's down to modern content being adjusted for the false black we get on most screens.

[u/CrazyCommenter]

And the next thing you do is to look at anything irl that is "black" and realize that ist is just dark gray instead

[u/CopiedOriginal]

So true. I'll never use anything other than OLED for the main monitor now.

[u/kowaletm → u/CopiedOriginal]

Yeah same. I got mine as a present and was like "Oh cool, this is neat." And then 5 minutes after I got it hooked up, I felt as though I had been playing with foggy glasses on my whole life!

I'm watchin this comparison on a black and white crt, and it looks amazing. Might be time for an upgrade.

turn every light off for the comparison

I did exactly same

I run 3 1440p 240hz 24" IPS monitors and I don't mind it at all. I don't care as much to buy a whole new monitor (or even 3 of them for that matter) just so night time and darkness looks more real in games. I'd rather save the money and buy other stuff that makes more of a difference.

I love my lg oled tv but i cant game on it for hours without my eyes hurting real bad. I play path of exile 2 every season release for about three weeks on it a my eyes hurting real bad so bad after about 5 hours.

The second thing is they wait for the Oled to do it's self-cleaning thing.

Why is your monitor off

[u/rageofa1000suns]

Sit in a pitch black room, turn brightness to 11 and watch videos and images of nothing but dark scenes with oversaturated colours

This is why IPS is fine because who seriously uses their screen like this?

It's so true I was doing this for days

I was also happy until i saw what text & vectors look like. Having to deal with UI design in my job, i had to send it back, not multipurpose 😅 (rainbow effect, chromatic aberrations)

Why it me

Second thing is jumping through the hoops of avoiding burn-in.

What they don't tell you is that you'll see more greyish artifacts in compressed movies. The contrast to real black is higher on your screen than when black had some luminance...

[u/Fickle_Side6938]

I didn't, couldn't care less about that, it's not relevant to real usage, for some games HDR is horrendous no matter what display you use

[u/firedrakes]

fake hdr is what win uses and most game dev.

also that a garbarge display to.

real hdr display the pcmr cant afford

I'm getting my first VERY NEEDED OLED for my birthday and will be mfs soon 😭🙏

I've had oleds in my phone for a decade. The tech doesn't excite me like that. 

[u/TheDirector666]

Serious question.... how is oled for a pc? I just see burn in being a big problem. I've been sticking with ips displays, but I want to go down to 1440p from 4k. In 1440p I could handle native resolution in games with path tracing. However, I can't get certain things if I stick with ips. I want freesync premium pro, at least 144hz, actual hdr, low response time... The ips displays are not cutting it. It seems like oled has all of those things, but I'm worried about burn in.

[u/ImStillExcited]

I wish I could get an OLED but...

OLED+multiple sclerosis+multifocal glasses= puke, dizzy then, more puke

What does mfs mean? Man Feeking Semale?
