Does DCS benefit bigly from OLED?

[Beirut]

Title says it all.

 

I'm looking at new monitor options, which is kind of like like doing algebra, and I was curious about DCS & OLED. Aside from cost, burn-in, and any other uses for the screen, 95% of my interest is simply how DCS looks with it. I have a very nice 27" 1440p monitor now and I'm curious about the change/upgrade to OLED, be it 27" or 32". 

 

Thank you.

In all seriousness. Forget about the “burn in” fear mongering. My OLED (48” LG TV) is almost 4Y and has zero burn in.

Apart from that, investing in a big OLED was the single best hardware upgrade I ever did. it is just awesome. 

You don’t even realise how bad LCDs are (in color and contrast) until you used an OLED.

However, the perfect contrast may mercilessly expose any bad picture (e.g. banding is even more noticeable).

Especially when you usually play at night or in a dark room, you will absolutely love OLED.

(Of course that’s my personal subjective opinion, but I think recommending OLED is as save a bet as it can be)

 

p.s. going big is probably also a big part of the great experience. That’s why I went for a TV, it’s much cheaper when you go big.

Is it HDMI or DP?  Thanks,

I'm digging your enthusiasm. 

 

Still not sure about the size or resolution. That's a question of money (what isn't?) and my hardware which runs 2k very well but 4K would be a stretch perhaps. 

 

Back to Amazon to look at monitors.

Yes DCS and everything else looks fantastic on an OLED. I gotta say DCS is rather dated and doesn’t exploit what a screen like this can really do like HDR but it’s still the best this game can look. I was curious about burn-in too but there are pixel shifting and cleaning feature which seem to negate this. I use mine for working at home full time as well as gaming and haven’t seen any sort of damage from three years of continual use.

HDMI 120HZ

That's a little downside to using a TV. The panel is the same or even better, but you lack some of the monitor specific features, like DP or auto-off with PC shuttdown.

A Trade-Off that is worth it for me, but perhaps not for everyone.

My recommendation would be to buy an decent OLED TV from last season or even the season before for a huge discount. Just make sure you have at least HDMI 2.1 120Hz and G-sync-compatibility.

Make sure, you use a blank (black) screen as screensaver with a short enable-time when in Desktop-use to minimize wear and tear on the panel. Apart from that I don't have any special care taken for the screen.
