Samsung and LG is better than Sony. Sony is also practically an LG.

I'm still waiting for a 27 inch 1440p OLED monitor at or under $500.

Double-QHD (5210x1440)

This should be 5120, ie. 2560x2.

Is that so. It seems you're missing there is multiple LG divisions and the one that makes the panels doesn't make the TV's.
Sony may be using LG panels, but the picture processing is their own and for input handling they are not using what LG is using either - if it was then Sony would not only have two HDMI inputs able to do full HDMI 2.1.
Audio is also different, like for example it is only Sony that uses the panels them self as speaker surface and I also don't think LG's TV's can act as center channel in a surround setup .
So I wonder what makes you suggest Sony and LG are practically the same?

I like the size, except for productivity it needs to really have more pixels vertically or at the very least 2160 of them.
Ideally you want to be able to do 4K content and have pixels to spare both horizontal and vertically, since then you can have the full resolution of what you're working with and room for the tools as well.

I am assuming the reason why Sony is using LG's panels is because of the patents?

Isn't LG the only one that can produce OLED panels since they hold the Tech patents for that and every other manufacturer has to buy the panels from them and then add their own features/options for display, connectivity etc...

I thought it was a 4K when I read the headline 😭

It got me like Philips did what?? 48", 240Hz, OLED, curved?? Philips????

And then it is just like the Samsung G9 OLED............. c'mon bro

The ultimate monitor for me is something like a curved dual 40"(around 72" suw) with half 8K resolution, OLED, and make it 240Hz (but even 120Hz is ok). While this one doesn't exist the alternative is a 77 inch 8K TV that you just cap half of the screen and make do with the flat surface, but at what price ..... and then there is this smaller 49" version, as well as the upcoming 59". Ok well... The 49" is more than good enough anyways. I don't see the point for the 59' as the resolution won't scale and you just lose fps in trade of nothing and being reistic running dual 4K is harsh even for the 4090. Personally Im going the TV route for now as 4K also doubles as 3840x1440 so I have both worlds ... but one day!! 72" 7680x2160 😍

Can any GPU run a modern game at 240 fps @ 5210x1440?

Sony video motion processing is better. But that's of no use with gaming. And the panels are made by Samsung or LG.

Not if by modern you mean AAA, however you could probably run csgo or valorant with a 4090 at that resolution.

Thanks for the response. That's why LG is first to release the fast ips and the new oled gaming monitors.

I don't think patents on OLED in general is an issue, there is several companies that makes OLED panels and I think Sony once made their own. There is a long wiki about the topic if you wanna dive in.
My guess it is more about price, meaning with LG making so many panels others likely have a hard time to be price competitive even having to allow for LG making money selling the panels.

However the panels is just part of what makes a TV or monitor, sort of like how most cars are made from steel except panels are somewhat more high tech. There is all the electronics as mentioned earlier and on top there is also the packaging is done. For example with some brands/models the panel is fitted with a cooling surface, allowing for the panel to run brighter with less risk of artifacts or burn-in.

That's a lot of cope. Displays are 90% reason for quality of screens and do the heavy lifting.

Isn't the internet amazing. And you base the 90% on?
Panels' aren't displays, they are part of makes a display. But enlighten us, do tell what it is that LG sells to Sony and the others.

Does anyone actually use the speakers on these ultra high end monitors? I would think anyone that most buyers for higher end panels are already rocking a real sound system.
