VizzieTheViz Good to see a KVM on something like this at least, now I just have an Ethernet port to wish for Reply
Roland Of Gilead For that price, I wouldn't accept VA panel type. Regardless of contrast. Any VA panel I've used (lots of my friends have them because they are typically cheaper) have horrible ghosting, and despite every effort to remedy said ghosting, it never truly goes away. But, at that price OLED is what I'd expect. I don't think this VA mon would be a big seller at all. Just my two cents. Reply
Shiznizzle 2000 dollars for an OLED that you can forget about in three years time due to burnin. No thanks. Ill stick with IPS or TN and avoid both the VA and anything OLED. Oled is not ready yet. I dont care what people say. If you have to buy a new monitor every three years then its not ready. Even with all the marketing gimmicks such as pixel "conditioning". Reply

While OLED tech has become more efficient and attainable for the masses, it's still a specialty thing in large format displays and the cost is always the tipping point. Regardless of the panel tech, I'm sure it'll be a very nice looking display and something I'd consider over Samsung's Ark if I were in the market for something that size. Reply

Even with all the marketing gimmicks such as pixel "conditioning". <Mod Edit> OLED’s are inherently better built than any other. I’ve owned at least 10+ oled tvs and monitors and never had burn in be an issue. I don’t even think about what so ever it’s that insignificant. I leave an lg 83” oled c2 on 8 hours a day at max brightness and quite literally never ever have burn in. I own not only the LG 45” 5k2k oled but two Samsung g9 57” screens and the lg is night and day better. Lg’s sole mistake here was not using oled and cheaping out with VA. Literally no one will buy this. It’s dead on arrival. Reply

Having the 45” 5k2k oled I can assure you absolute no one is buying this. At $2000 this is a gamer with a 5090 and no one is settling for VA. It’s either Samsung G9 57” or LG 45” 5K2K OLED for this kind of money. What’s the point of 5k2k VA when the Samsung is dual 4k, bigger, and the same price. Reply
cp0x It uses a VA panel instead of traditional IPS or OLED… That's kind of like saying "It uses an AT&T rotary phone instead of a traditional iPhone or Android …. 🤦♂️ Reply
mantisXP cp0x said: That's kind of like saying "It uses an AT&T rotary phone instead of a traditional iPhone or Android …. 🤦♂️ Exactly. Especially after how amazing the 45” OLED 5K2K is, I’m shocked they decided to go with VA. That’s insane for a company that makes like 90% of all OLED panels. This product will not sell much at all. OLED is the game changer. Simply gaining 7” but going to VA is not worth it at all. Definitely not for $1999! Reply
8086 For this price, I would expect to see a Genuine G-Sync hardware module installed inside the monitor. Reply
mantisXP 8086 said: For this price, I would expect to see a Genuine G-Sync hardware module installed inside the monitor. I’m actually surprised there isn’t either. Even the 45” 5k2k OLED has G-Sync Premium. LG really dropped the ball here. They nailed the 45” OLED 5k2k, but why on earth this weird regression on the 52…. This thing needs discounted to $1000 and it will sell. But a VA panel at this price point has no chance. Anyone considering this is rocking nothing less than a 5090 on a $4000+ pc. VA panels are trash and have been trash. IPS black is the lowest anyone serious would consider. OLED is the peak. VA??? Seriously lg. Reply
