Asus and MSI have updated their warranty coverage for certain OLED monitors to include protection against panel burn-in, a common concern for consumers due to the static elements in gaming that can exacerbate the issue. MSI now offers a three-year burn-in warranty for some of its OLED displays, with specific criteria for claiming against burn-in damage, while Asus has quietly updated its warranties to cover burn-in for two or three years on certain models. These updates bring their OLED coverage more in line with other PC hardware companies like LG, Corsair, and Dell's Alienware sub-brand, providing consumers with additional peace of mind when purchasing these high-cost monitors.
OLED monitors are now reaching refresh rates of 360Hz and 480Hz, surpassing the capabilities of LCD monitors. While some question the practical benefits of such high refresh rates, experts argue that OLED's faster pixel response times may provide better motion clarity. Despite the debate, improvements in refresh rates continue to make an objective difference, particularly for gamers. However, the decision to invest in these high refresh rate monitors ultimately depends on individual preferences, hardware capabilities, and gaming priorities. As prices decrease and technology advances, more people may adopt these high refresh rate OLED monitors, potentially reshaping the standard for display technology.
Asus has announced three new OLED monitors, including two capable of hitting 480Hz refresh rates. The ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP can switch between 4K 240Hz and 1080p 480Hz, while the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP offers up to 480Hz refresh rates in a 27-inch flat form factor at 1440p. Additionally, Asus has unveiled a 39-inch ultrawide 240Hz OLED monitor. These monitors feature third-gen panels with improvements in peak brightness and viewing angles, but pricing and release dates are yet to be revealed.
OLED monitor burn-in, a longstanding concern for users, has been addressed through improvements in OLED materials, software developments, and new testing techniques. While burn-in can still occur on modern OLED monitors, advancements in materials science and physical design changes have made them significantly more resistant to burn-in than in the past. Monitor firmware techniques, such as determining wear levels and compensating for luminance degradation, can help mitigate or hide damage. However, the susceptibility to burn-in varies among monitors, and manufacturers can implement different techniques to combat it. Overall, OLED monitors are now a more reliable investment for users, although some risk of burn-in still exists.
Dough, formerly known as Eve, has announced plans to release a 32-inch 240Hz 4K OLED monitor, claiming it will be the first of its kind in the market. However, given the company's history of delays and unfulfilled promises, skepticism is warranted. Other manufacturers have already shipped monitors with the same 27-inch panel, raising doubts about Dough's ability to deliver on its claims. While the proposed features of the monitor sound impressive, including USB-C connectivity and black frame insertion, potential buyers should exercise caution before preordering due to the company's track record and the risks associated with crowdfunding.
OLED monitors, while excellent for gaming and entertainment, can have issues with auto-dimming and temporal luminance stability, causing noticeable changes in brightness when opening and closing windows. This is due to the conflict between auto-dimming and the multitasking nature of computer monitors. Some recent OLED monitors have a brightness stabilizer to mitigate this issue, but it limits the maximum brightness. Alternatively, users can opt for mini-LED monitors that offer dynamic backlight adjustment or stick with traditional IPS or VA monitors for stable performance.
