PC gaming is actually a relatively cheap hobby, unless you're into racing sims then it can get CRAZY expensive. There are way more expensive hobbies out there. One of my friends tried to clown on me for spending 4 figures on a GPU while he had no issue spending 4 figures on a set of tires for...

By increased clarity do you mean 1440p instead of 1080p? Hmm that is a good point, I guess the upcoming 1440p 480Hz Asus would be the real contender then. Honestly if that thing can do 1440p 240Hz BFI then I would probably insta buy it.

The Asus PG32UCDP has me more excited since it has the potential to do 240Hz BFI, even if it's only at 1080p. It would make it the very first 240Hz BFI OLED ever, and the motion clarity on that would sweet.

https://www.techpowerup.com/ has just about every rumor you can think of. Even the latest talk about RDNA5 is on there.

If you don't need to have audio/video then really most run of the mill tech sites will report on the same things, all without being extremely annoying about it. Guys like him do nothing more than regurgitate what tech sites have already covered then add some extra layer of uselessness.

They will fix it. LG is very good when it comes to firmware updates. The CX launched with a handful of problems that were all addressed about 2 months later.

Of course, but I'm just saying that overpriced flagship GPUs have been a thing for over a decade already, this isn't anything new. If one wanted to "call it quits at 1k", they were supposed to quit a decade ago when the Titan launched for $1000. And if you don't want to count the Titan because...

Yeah for as much of a clown as the guy is (ESPECIALLY when it comes to matte finishes), at least he provides some useful data. Almost every other review I've watched on the LG just gives a bunch of talking points and zero data.

To a certain degree yes. The 4070 Ti was $800, so almost $1k for a xx70 series GPU which is pretty nuts. But I don't think we are going to get to the point where a xx50 tier GPU like say an RTX 6050 will cost $1k. Not anytime soon at least, but sure I can see that happening if AMD is out of the...

I wasn't talking about CPUs. You could game just fine on a $200 CPU for like the past decade. And I guess I'll have to revise my original statement, flagship GPU prices have been poorly priced for about 10 years now starting with the original GTX Titan. $1000 in 2013 is about $1345 in today's...

And yet there's tons of people who will whine about flagship GPU and monitor prices here when they have always been poorly priced :) so much for [H].

It's like people forget that cards below the flagship tier actually exist :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Does it matter? Like I said, I'm not putting too much weight on his graph anyway, the guy is very much a clown when it comes to monitors but at least he has some actual numbers vs other reviewers who provide zero data. I will be keeping a look out as more and more data comes in from other reviewers.

Test patterns are not always indicative of real world performance though. See below: If you go by the test patterns then you would think the PG34WCDM should absolutely slap the PG42UQ, but in real scene brightness it does not. The PG42UQ is almost double the brightness.

Yes that's why I'm waiting for RTings results and not putting too much weight into this graph. It's just that literally no other reviewer has provided any measurements, it's all nothing but a bunch of "it looks great to my eyes", which tells me absolutely nothing.
