True Endgame - Micro LED Monitors (240Hz & 4000nits)
Micro LED TVs keep shrinking in size every year and pushing the envelope in terms of HDR brightness. Recently a 38" TV or possibly monitor was shown off at what appears to be some sort of trade show. This monitor is very likely capable of 4000nits HDR as well as a lightning fast 240Hz refresh rate and 2 nanosecond response times. What we don't know is what resolution this monitor or TV is, and what it will be priced at and when it will be available, although next year would be likely based on current micro LED availability.

Looking forward to affordable prices in 10 years

FYI it’s only a prototype & its resolution is less than 1080P. Samsung has been showing prototypes of this size & type for years with none coming to market. The only official Samsung MicroLEDs coming to market are all 4K, above 70”, & include six figure price tags.

I can't wait for the perfect monitor to release for use in my nursing home.

I just got the Alienware 27 inch, 360hz, QD-OLED and it's bright enough that I have to squint in bright scenes in games.
I can't imagine something that's 4 times brighter.

But I won't be upgrading for years.

I doubt anyone would dare try and sell a 38" 1080p panel for almost any price, even if it beats the crap out of anything else at everything else

[dastiffmeisterman]

4K 38 inch is the perfect size for a monitor I've recently bought the Asus ROG 38" 4K monitor. I previously had a 32 inch 4K 144hz. It's not too big so you don't have issues with seeing the whole screen but big enough to create real immersion. If this is coming out in Micro LED format I will be pre-ordering. Every game looks significantly better in 38 inch over 32 inch a much more entertaining experience.

27 inch 2k Monitor (the sweep spot) with Micro LED... that would be awesome the next years! No burn in from OLEDs and other problems such backlight bleeding, IPS glow and black smearing from VA. The catch could be the price.

[GoldenSW]

Probably we're looking at a minimum of 5-10 years until microled displays will be something mid to higher end buyers will be able to afford. Consumer OLEDs have been on the market for over 15 years and they are still not affordable for the average consumer and from what I understand microleds are much harder to manufacture due to their complexity so the timeframe might be even worse in this case...

0:49 The drawbacks are that they are huge and very expensive

[jumpierwolf]

I'd prefer it to be 32" or 27" but I'd take 38" over the 42" size that we were stuck with for OLEDs for the longest time. Too bad it's not 4k.

I've had the AW3423DWF for 2 years now, but when I bought the coolermaster 4k mini-LED backlit IPS with QD layer I was honestly surprised, no IPS backlight bleed because it was mini LED instead of edge-lit, stronger colors cause of the QD layer, vivid colors that you're used to from IPS and also a lot cheaper, the dimming zones don't really compare to OLED's per pixel dimming, but it generally does the job and also has higher peak brightness vs OLED.
As such I was originally very hyped for the 3rd gen OLEDs, flat, with glossy layer, but after seeing that screen I'm actually very excited for microLED monitors, waiting to see what those will bring and what they'll cost.
I agree though, I'm not going back to 1080p, especially on such a large panel.

Oled for monitors just have to many down sides just to get better blacks if Micro can match current Lcd with atleast improved blacks that will do for me.

[AleksandarYovchev]

I just bought the QD-OLED AORUS FO32U2P and the brightness level is definitely more than enough for gaming and movies.
I am running it on the default ECO mode through Mini DP (UHBR20), with 70% Brightness and Normal Color Temperature.
I haven't tested the various settings in more detail yet.
My previous monitor was the LCD AORUS FI27Q-X.

I do not regret for not buying a Micro LED Monitor at this point.

[mkatakm]

While still waiting for prices of OLED monitors to go sufficiently down so that I can buy one, that next technology is beyond a dream for me. Better to forget about it completely for now and leave it to my children to have one.

[HarryJSteele]

This Micro LED shuts off at what internal temperature?
The display models are in air conditioned rooms for a reason.

[josephnorris]

New tech is cool but I do not see this being a regular thing until at least 5 years from now, if things remain the same.

[ramama]

Yeah, I am not sure, everyone mentions the brightnes... new oleds exceed 1200nits and older IPS panels are left out as they are not worth it to buy anymore when oled got so cheap. So IPS panels average at 700nits with a mediocre HDR content. So micro led differs from oled only by that it doesn't have a colour filter film overlay over the silicone, or a "pixel" so it's basically your phone's display but scaled. And has super huge gaps in between the pixels, which looks much much more ugly in person than you think. It's like the super low PPI oled panels.

[manoftherainshorts]

Using miniLED that won't burn itself as a stop-gap for a microLED 4K greatness 😁 I hope gaming hardware will not have problems with 4K content in 5 years.

Remember tandem OLED stack? It would be nice to have it on smaller monitors and gaming laptops. Maybe esports needs this to replace 540Hz E-TN panel. The target shall be WUXGA at 600nits full screen SDR and HDR and peak of 1000nits HDR at 25% APL using approximately similar measurement methods used on Apple’s Ultra Retina XDR, and needs VRR range of 1-600Hz, and support of DP2.1 UHBR13.5 and 20, and HDMI 2.1 FRL48, Dolby Vision and Atmos support alongside HDR10+
