Just bought a 144hz monitor

I did the same. Got the Gigabyte M32U.

Lol. It's a nice way to go but if they wanted to just shell out another 150 to 200 the LG C1 oled is far worth it. Or wait and get that 42in C2.
Only thing that concerns me is the lack of bandwidth on HDMI 2.1 on that gigabyte monitor. It only uses yuv420 color at 4k 120. Probably not a big deal to most though.

You can't notice the bandwidth issue at all, unless you would use it for office purposes where you have to deal with a lot of text with different color patterns against different backgrounds. For gaming you don't notice it at all. And yeah the OLEDs are nice, I actually have 1 as my main TV but there are a few reasons I don't enjoy gaming on it. First would be the size, I used to game on PC so I'm more of a desk gamer than a couch gamer, the OLEDs are way too big for a desk. Second would be the burn in risks, a buddy of mine has suffered from it on his C1 and it's terrible. But yeah quality wise they sure are right up there.

Same here! The wifey and I are moving this Saturday and bought ourselves a new king too. That puts the expenses of a monitor or a console in a different perspective haha.

Yes there is definitely the size and ergonomics difference. Guess it just depends on setup and usage.

I think Alienware just released a 32" HDMI 2.1 OLED monitor, but it's gonna break the bank. Maybe the prices will come down a bit in a year or so, but there's no doubt in my mind that OLED technology is the future.
Edit: it is OLED but not HDMI 2.1. Costs about 1600$.

I am about to order an xbox series x and sell my ps5, but i am confused. I have an alienware monitor, so it wont play at 120hz because i dont have hdmi 2.1?

Didn't I explain this to you already yesterday? You can run 120hz even without HDMI 2.1.

HDMI 2.1 is only required for 4k 120fps

I keep reading different things, just trying to get facts straight before buying. Thanks again

@tylerslikewhoa_xbl said in Just bought a 144hz monitor:
Hopefully you got one with hdmi 2.1 or you wasted your money
He can still play 120fps at 1080p, actually he is on Xbox he can play on 1440p too
But the game doesn’t play at 120fps it maxes at 60fps
With the update it can play @ 120hz offline only for now on the PS5- and apparently it’s been able to play on 120hz on Xbox online

Are you sure it is the (2021) C1 model your buddy has? I have used my C1 LG OLED for over a year as a gaming monitor, religiously, and it has no burn in. I used to have an older 2016 LG OLED and it did have terrible burn-in (all from the Show), however, the new models have new tech that helps to prevent that. Also, while the 48" does sound big for a "monitor", it is a noticable crutch for us older folks, like myself, who have declining vision quality. LOL
