is it normal for all 1000:1 contrast ratio monitors to have this grey tint over everything?been trying to upgrade from an old office monitor for some time now and all three of the new monitors iv tried nothing looks really black just dark greyso far all 3 that iv tried are IPS so im thinking i should try a VA since i dont want to spend for an OLEDhttps://www.lg.com/ca_en/monitors/gaming/27gp850-b/this is the monitor i got and wondering if its defective because some games are almost unplayable because at night time everything just looks like a grey blur
I strongly recommend you save your shekels for a while longer until you can afford a decent OLED. Between my desktop display, phone and Steam Deck, I just can't go back to LCD. I hope we'll eventually get an OLED or successor panel technology for Framework laptops, because while it's a good LCD panel, it's still an LCD panel.
>>106543478Save your shekels for a decent OLED, and then keep doing it so you can replace it when it burns in.
>>106543478Iv considered some of the OELDs for around 500$ but im worried they might not last more than 2 or 3 years because of burn in
>>106543296I had a VA monitor once. The black smear was bad enough to make me swear off VA panels for eternity.>>106543478I don't think OLED burn in has been solved yet for desktop monitors being used daily with static elements. Maybe if you have a dedicated OLED monitor for multimedia it's fine but otherwise I wouldn't risk it.For me, doing mostly productivity work on my monitors with static elements all day every day it seems IPS is still the only option, even though it has its downsides like bad contrast (which I'd take over black smearing or burn in any time)
>just drop $800 on a disposable oled monitor that you have to replace every 6 monthsno
>>106543296just get an oled at this point brah
>>106543296>is it normal for all 1000:1 contrast ratio monitors to have this grey tint over everything?No, that's just IPS being garbage.TN and VA monitors don't have that shitty grey tint.
>>106543525black smear ? is that different from ghosting ?
>>106545238black smear is a different form of ghostingif you're ever on a page with a black background and white text, or anything of similar contrast, when you scroll the text you're going to notice it become fart yellow till you stop scrollingwith standard ghosting you would just not be able to read the text at all, it would be a smearironically with the "smear" in the name, VA black smear doesn't do much to the clarity of the text, it just makes the pixels doing high contrast color changes woefully inaccurate
>>1065432961000:1 IPS panels aren't actually 1000:1. They're 1000:1 when viewed precisely head-on, but your vision isn't orthographic, most of the display will be at an angle. LCD panels are all about compromise, and with IPS's the viewing angle issues have been pushed to only affect near-blacks. This viewing angle issue is often called IPS glow, and all IPS panels suffer from it.It's also what more observant eyes will see as a faint haze over everything. If you go from even just a 1000:1 VA back to an IPS panel, you'll notice how hazy everything looks.
IPS for desktopVA for moviesCRT for games
>>106543296IPS monitors will always have IPS glow You need and OLED, that's the only good panel tech for colours and NO GLOW
>>106543296get an oled tv for gaming and stick with an ips monitor for the rest, an oled monitor doesn't seem worth it because of burn-in and bad text clarity
>>106543296I have a VA monitor (Samsung U32J590, ~3000:1 contrast) and I'm pretty happy with it. I haven't noticed any "black smear" issue. It's only 60hz though... maybe it's only a concern at higher refresh rates?One issue it does have, which I'm told is VA's fault, is VRR flicker. Basically VRR is unusable because it causes the monitor to flicker horrendously. Don't buy VA if you want VRR.I'll probably go VA again next time. I need good contrast for movies and games (rules out IPS), but I also use it for work so need to be able to leave static images on it without burn in (rules out OLED).
