LG 4K 144Hz Glossy MLA OLED Gaming Monitor
Are you tired of being ripped off for the lowest of the low garbage tier matte finish stinky LCDs well then I have great news, because it's sounding like in not too long we could finally lay our hands with the force of god on our first 4K 144Hz glossy OLED monitor, that's right the wailing and gnashing of teeth can cease, because a new challenger is approaching to fix this absolute dumpster fire of a display industry, which lets talk about that real quick.
I’d like to say that the monitor industry is at its lowest point right now with how bad and overpriced the majority of products are on the market right now, but unfortunately that would be a lie, because ever since we strayed away from CRT the monitor industry has been dropping nothing but fat turds on our porch for years, and I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve had enough, and if I see one more company trying to charge over $1,000 for an LCD based display with a matte finish, I think i’m gonna completely lose it. Heck even over like $350 it's hard to recommend any LCD’s and even the best of them still are using a hideous, oily, grainy, matte finish which ruins the clarity, contrast, and vibrancy of the display to such a degree that I absolutely refuse to use one no matter how good or affordable every other aspect of the display is.
So here we are i’m using a 55” TV as a monitor because it's the only good looking glossy 4K 144Hz OLED on the market, but guys as I mentioned earlier all that could be changing very soon, so not only did we just talk about that huge leak from TFT about a bunch of 4K OLEDs coming next year from LG and Samsung, but I got even more info on stuff that could be coming even sooner, because while many of those monitors were ALLEGEDLY planned to be released by late next year, many of the specs lead me to believe the majority won’t actually come until 2025.
But guys i’m an absolute goblin and I WANT IT NOW GIMMIE GIMMIE, ok in all seriousness if like me you can’t bear the thought of waiting as long as over a year and a half to 2 years plus for actually good monitors, than let me share with you this silly little anecdote.
Now this discussion all started when the YouTuber Stop the FOMO mentioned that he believed LG would bring MLA tech AND 144Hz to next year's LG C4, and I'll be honest guys I actually think he's right. This year the LG C series is stuck with older OLED panels which have their fair share of issues, and the biggest one is that they just aren’t bright enough. After calibration LGs previous panels are closer to 140 nits full screen and well under 1000 nits peak brightness which in my opinion just isn’t quite bright enough to give you that impactful HDR experience, accurately represent the creators intent, give me a fat chub, or to use for work purposes, but if they bring the G3s MLA tech to next years 42” C4 things could change and quickly.
Plus unlike the TFT leak you would be able to get these possibly less than a year from now, which while still a long wait is much sooner, and the reason I believe LG will be forced to bring MLA and 144Hz to their C4 line up to some extent is that Samsung is being very aggressive with the pricing of their OLED TVs, and this will likely force LGs hand to raise the specs of their cheaper and smaller TVs much like they did with their larger G3 series this year.
Now do keep in mind this could also end up not happening, but if you're holding out for a good 4K gaming monitor, this is likely going to be your best bet in the coming months.
