8k Anyone?

1. There are currently no plans for consumer level 8K  OLED screens.

 

2. The only announced 8K screen (Dell) is priced at $5000; five times your shamefully minsinformed price estimate.

 

3. Using an OLED as a computer monitor or gaming TV is beyond ignorant, due to the obscene levels of burn-in OLEDs suffer from. If you truly desire a self-emitting screen, wait for QLEDs to take their next step.

1. A thread about future tech, talks about stuff that is not yet announced...

2. That is a professional screen, it has a very high markup (and early adopters tax) and has been professionally colour calibrated (as well as some cool pro features).
In 5 or so years we should see reasonable priced 8k OLED.

3. I am well aware of the burn in problem, and my desktop does not have much static content, so I am fine.
Also OLED vs QLED; QLEDs are not self emitting.
Suggesting a QLED over an OLED is like saying "get a pet cat" to someone who really wants a pet bear.

1. If it's a thread about future tech, maybe mention that somewhere and not begin discussing a purchase as though it is very nearly on the horizon.

 

2. I wouldn't count on stuff that is very clearly for rich enthusiasts and industrial use to go on sale, nor would I expect it to flip over to OLED in the process.

 

3. Your computer screen is, at any point in time when not full-screened on a movie or game, is more than 80% static imagery. Your task bar, windows, the clock, icons, text- unless you are making a conscious effort to move them, they are static. Using an OLED for a gaming TV is risky, but using it as a monitor is downright irresponsible. And you are correct: QLED is currently not self-emitting. However, Samsung claims that they can make it happen, and plan on making that a reality within the next few years (hence that word "wait"). A more apt analogy would be me suggesting you wait to adopt a healthy bear rather than adopt a bear with crippling birth defects right now. But since this is "future" tech discussion, I suppose it would mean you're just consciously picking the lower-tier TV because you're uneducated on the subject.
