QD-OLED blacks with 4K sharpness at last
The anti-glare layer turns a dusty purple in a bright room
First OLED on my desk and the black level is the thing you cannot go back from. Stars in a space game are points of light sitting on nothing at all, not grey mush. The caveat everybody mentions is quite real: with the curtains open the coating lifts the blacks to a sort of dusty aubergine. Shut them and it is perfect. Worth knowing which way your desk faces before you spend this much.
Used for: 6–12 months
Text is far better than the older QD-OLED panels
The pixel refresh cycle nags at the worst possible moments
Subpixel fringing on text is barely there any more. Eight months in, the only real irritation is the maintenance reminder, which appears without fail when I am mid-task!
Used for: 6–12 months
Contrast that makes an IPS look broken
Bright rooms are not its friend
Astonishing once the sun goes down, merely good with the curtains open and the lamp on
Used for: 6–12 months
Genuinely does both jobs, work in the day and games at night
Static interface elements still make me nervous
Bought as the one screen to end a two-screen desk, and on the whole it has worked. For games it is untouchable at the price. Blacks are black, the response is instant, and 4K at 240 makes my old panel look like it was drawing each frame by hand. For work it is better than I feared: text at 150 per cent is clean, the coating does not fizz, and colour after a quick profile matched my print proofs. My reservation is the one you would expect. Nine months in there is nothing visible on a grey slide, but I spend eight hours a day with the same toolbars in the same places, and I catch myself hiding things and setting shorter screen timeouts in a way I never did with an IPS.

Motion clarity is in another league to my old IPS
The care routines mean it is never quite a fit-and-forget screen
The picture deserves every word of praise it gets. Motion is so clean that a fast pan looks painted rather than drawn, and the HDR has actual punch instead of a brightness slider pretending to be one. What I had not appreciated before buying is that an OLED asks things of you. It wants to run its compensation cycle, so you leave it powered on for a bit after you finish. It hides the taskbar, dims logos, shuffles the whole image a pixel at a time. None of it is difficult. It is simply a screen you look after rather than one you ignore.
