OLED Monitors: 360Hz and Beyond - A Comprehensive Analysis of the Latest High-Speed Displays

Screens keep getting faster. Can you even tell? OLED monitors have gotten faster than ever, with some hitting refresh rates of 360 and 480Hz. LCD monitors have been pushing 500Hz for around a year now. Asus has an OLED monitor that runs at 480Hz. Samsung, Dell, MSI also revealed similar OLED monitors with refresh rates of up to 360Hz and resolutions of up to 1440p. Whenever we’ve written about these monitors, commenters have quite fairly asked what the point of this all is. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time manufacturers have battled over specs with debatable benefit to customers,₠whether that’s the “megahertz myth” or megapixel wars of the ‘past decade or, more recently, smartphone display resolution. Asus CES 2024 monitor lineup. Image: Asus The Samsung Odyssey G8 OLED (G80SD) is the most important monitor at CES 2024 due to its high resolution, excellent motion clarity, and beautiful color. It has a practical professional look and includes an ergonomic stand with wide range of adjustment but takes up too much space on your desk. The Samsung Odyssey G6 OLED (G60SD) is all about motion clarity with a 360Hz refresh rate, making it super-crisp. It has low pixel response times which reduces motion blur at any given refresh rate.

    The article discusses the new OLED monitors that have refresh rates of 360 and 480Hz. The author acknowledges that these high refresh rate OLEDs are likely to have better motion clarity than LCD monitors with similar specs. However, they also note that there is no significant difference in terms of visual clarity or input latency between the two types of monitors at these refresh rates. Additionally, the article raises questions about whether it is possible to objectively measure a difference from a higher refresh rate monitor and whether people will actually notice and benefit from these differences. The author also mentions that improvements to refresh rate technology may be necessary before screens can reduce flicker and motion blur to a level approaching the real world.

      The 7 Most Eye-Popping Gaming Monitors From CES 2024

      Inverse Inc. Sunday, 14 January 2024 16:27
      • Unique Points
        • Acer Predator Z57 is a 57-inch gaming monitor with an 8K resolution and a 1000R curve.
        • Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 refresh rate gets rid of the curved design and pumps up the refresh rate to 360Hz.
      • Accuracy
        No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
      • Deception (30%)
        The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title claims that these are 'the most eye-popping gaming monitors from CES 2024', but it only provides a list of seven monitors and does not compare them to other options available on the market. Secondly, some of the information provided is misleading or inaccurate. For example, LG's Predator Z57 has a refresh rate of 120Hz, not 480Hz as stated in the article. Thirdly, there are no sources disclosed throughout the article.
        • LG's Predator Z57 has a refresh rate of 120Hz, not 480Hz as stated in the article. This is an example of false information being presented as fact.
        • The title claims that these are 'the most eye-popping gaming monitors from CES 2024', but it only provides a list of seven monitors and does not compare them to other options available on the market. This is an example of deceptive advertising.
      • Fallacies (75%)
        The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that big brands returned to CES with excessive upgrades without providing any evidence or context for this claim. Additionally, the author makes a false dilemma by suggesting that there are only two options for gamers: either they want an ultrawide monitor or not, when in fact there may be other preferences as well. The article also contains examples of inflammatory rhetoric such as
        • The Predator Z57 is essentially two 4K displays smushed together.
        • Samsung decided to switch to a flat design for its Odyssey OLED G8.
        • Asus cranks it all the way up to 480Hz with its ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP gaming monitor.
      • Bias (85%)
        The article is biased towards the latest and most advanced gaming monitors. The author uses sensational language such as 'wild' and 'excessive upgrades' to describe the new features of these monitors. They also compare each monitor with others in terms of specs, which creates a competitive atmosphere.
        • Samsung is described as switching to a flat design for two of its gaming monitors, including the Odyssey OLED G8. This could be seen as Samsung pulling back on offering way too many curved gaming monitors.
          • The article compares Asus's ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP with LG's UltraGear 32GS95UE in terms of refresh rate and resolution, creating a competitive atmosphere.
            • The article describes LG's gaming monitor that doubles its refresh rate from 240Hz to 480Hz as 'doubling it up'.
