4K or 480Hz? This OLED does BOTH… Sort of - LG 32GS95

Check out the UGREEN 2-in-1 Magnetic Foldable Charging Station and more below:

LCDs have been a compromise for ages, but OLED promised something different. Now that OLED is this fast, perhaps it can finally take over from the legacy of the CRT, thanks to one little trick…

Thanks for catching the 240Hz = 2.08ms that should have read 480Hz = 2.08ms. We're getting a fix and replacement done through YouTube.

I clicked because Linus's face was on the left side.

The fact that so many 4K panels absolutely refuse to use integer scaling when they could has been an annoyance of mine for a long time. It seems such an easy win, too.

Admittedly, this is less of a problem with computer monitors than it is with full-size TVs, thanks to the ability to select the video output resolution in one's OS. But it's still _a_ problem, as shown in this video.

7:43 The half-pixel offsetting is most likely implemented to make the "pixel shift" feature, that protects most consumer OLED monitors from burn-in, work in the 1080p mode

[wumborat]

8:57 editor used ai-generated linus voice to say "from your gpu" cuz he omitted it; the future is now

[GoodGamer]

9:24 is a bit confusing. "240 Hz = 4.17 ms" and "240 Hz = 2.08 ms". I guess the second one is supposed to be 480 Hz haha

Can't wait to sell another kidney for my Monitor 😁

I actually had no idea about the edids forcing 1080p/4k and the forced upscale into 4k. That is really interesting and really highlights the limits and flaws of being the first gen product. I definitely want a newer version of this panel in the next few years, but for now, it's a nice novelty and a look into what the future holds.

[MrHamof]

What's funny is this used to be supported by old Windows back in the CRT days, back then the assumption was that displays would be capable of different framerates at different resolutions and Windows actually had options for configuring that.

[AVerySillySausage]

I feel like digging out a 1080p 32inch monitor to compare and judge the scaling would have been a good idea here. Lets see how close to native 1080p it really is.

[Derpalerpa]

I don't think I understood why they couldn't or didn't integer scale the image. It's just dobuling on both axis, and would pretty much just be 4K. No real scaling, just doubling up the pixels. I'm confused :(

Like, it seems so easy, I couldn't imagine the logic/code behind it would be difficult.

[GothicDragonX]

That Yu-Gi-oh intro random made me smile ... thanks 🤣

[Eli-zbyj]

Linus gets 2 oled monitors. Meanwhile, I don't have 1 oled monitor

[drksonic]

8:57 What happened here, is AI Linus trying to take over?

[elijahschrotenboer]

"More faster than you would expect...", 5:44, and "but if you look closelier, " 7:18, made me laugh.

[gabrielfougeron]

Omg I feel for the test engineer who did not pick up on this off by one error. Huge it true!

[Henrix]

I think you should have made graphics for the pixel shift, I didn't really understand what the panel zooms were trying to show

[williamdavidson]

I own this monitor and I will say it’s amazing. Literally perfect for my use case. I get a 4k panel for whenever I play single player games and crank the settings, then I get a 1080p 480hz panel for when I waste my life away with my friends on Overwatch. Came from a 1440p 300hz Asus mom to this and personally couldn’t be happier

[denverag]

IIRC i had a ~$200 40 inch TV in 2016 that had a feature like this. It could do 4K60, or 1080p120, if you didnt change the setting in the TV, and set the computer to display 1080p120 you'd get these weird artifacts that looked like broadcast TV with poor signal dropping, definately didnt look as good as when the TV was switched to 1080p120. Now i didnt do this most of the time because this was a TV, so to switch i had to go deep into the menus with a remote that didnt always have working batteries for.

What do you guys think Linus originally said at 8:58 lol post ur ideas in the replies 😂
