I want a 48" - 55" monitor at 8K for software development, to be able to see a lot of text very sharply. I don't care if it won't game, at that size it can be used at 4K just fine. But the big ticket would be 8K, with a lot of CPU RAM and the like. Have wanted one of these for several years. I have a 4K Dell 43" but want sharper (scaled) text, and slightly bigger font size for easier reading. This 43" is a bit smaller than the dual 1080 monitors we get at work, kind of like going from 11 pt in Word to 10 pt; 48"-50" would be the same text size. At 8K I'd just run it at 60 Hz for non game use.

I love the thought or even owning one of the newly proffered big gaming OLED monitors. For that matter I understand that the recent CES was actually brimming with the introduction of new monitors and that the OEMs are now banking on new and big money making opportunities from just this product alone. There was even marketing-talk and that people used to replace their monitor every 5-years or so and that this now reduced itself downwards to 3-years. Thus new quick sales opportunities abounding!

But the new UHD OLED or 4K monitors come with a catch: Anyone who has been stuck with Full HD or Wide QHD and is now thinking about moving into higher-resolutions must pay attention to the additional need for increased image sharpness if the FPS is to remain high. Relative pixel increases may quickly reach critical overheating ranges - even when upgrading from Wide QHD to Ultra HD. Simply put the computational demands on the GPUs almost double – so that a 'base-level' GeForce, Arc or Radeon’s will work up a considerable sweat.” In short…buying a new 2024 display by itself is now not enough, and much deeper pockets for additional and beefier associated hardware will have too be on the Santa list! I also wondered what happened earlier with all the talk about HDR10? At CES that subject was seemingly ignored and downplayed? Will I personally be delighted with a refresh rate of a 240 Hz panel and will it dramatically improve the replacing of my roofs in Sanctuary? Or better defeating the Nazi’s in Wolfenstein on the train to Berlin? I doubt it!
