Tom Sunday Ogling monitors at Microcenter in Tustin, a salesman with a name plate Hank told me: “Higher pixel monitor densities require more graphics performance. Many of our customers are simply forgetting about this! All of the new UHD OLED monitors also 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. That the relative pixel increases quickly reach the three-digit range - even when upgrading from Wide QHD to Ultra HD, the computational demands on the GPU double – so that basic GeForce, Arc or Radeon’s will work up a considerable sweat.”Reply
From what I further understood it seems that from now on OLED-Displays will clearly dominate the landscape or be a new sweet-spot. Because OLED, regardless of whether it comes from Samsung or LG offers clear advantages for gamers. Hank was unable to discuss and comment on the new HDR image technologies. He did say however: “That manufacturers even at the latest Vegas CES were cautious and generally quiet on the subject, but that it can be assumed that many new products will at least be capable of HDR10. My final takeaway: ”Buying a new display by itself is not enough anymore , and deeper pockets for additional and beefier associated hardware may need to be on the menu!
