Discussion Here is my OLED Monitor that has never been turned off for 2 years.
Unfortunately I didn’t realize the “maintenance” I was getting myself into with the OLED Alienware monitor. I’m not used to turning it off or maintaining it so here is how it looks now. Might be the worst burn in you’ve ever seen? I wish I didn’t buy an OLED.

Discussion OLED vs IPS: the difference isn’t as big as I expected
Just got my new OLED (Alienware AW2725Q, on the right), and honestly… I’m a bit underwhelmed. For normal usage, the difference from my IPS (LG UltraGear 27GP950, on the left) isn’t very noticeable.
The situations where the difference is more noticeable only happen in low-light rooms or with very dark content, which doesn’t occur very often. Plus, the OLED’s brightness feels much lower than my IPS.
I’m not sure if I messed up some settings. Are there any tweaks to get a better picture? Honestly, I feel like I fell for the pro-OLED hype. Considering the price, I’m even thinking about returning it.

Discussion Is there any way to remove these scratches?
I bought this MSI QD-OLED monitor a while back and my cat decided it looked like a very expensive scratching post and scratched it up pretty bad. I've tried wiping on some Vaseline to see if it fills in the cracks, but it didn't do anything. It's starting to really annoy me and can't seem to find any information on fixing scratches on a display like this. Is there any way to polish them out or make them less noticeable?

Discussion Wtf happened with my oled?*Asus XG27AQDMG
A while ago I turned on my pc after not using it for around 2 weeks, and my monitor suddenly looked like that on the 1st picture(it’s a pure black image). However, for some reason, some minutes later it appeared to be working fine(as you can see on the 2nd pic)…

Discussion I couldn't find a good comparison so i made one, thought you guys might find it helpful
I just upgraded my PC from a 5600xt to a 9070xt, so now its my monitors turn. Looking online I couldn't find a good apples to apples comparison of the pixel density, so I made one. I'd love a 4k, but after making this, I think I'll go with a 1440p UW. My biggest concerns are cost and lower FPS
edit: Can't reupload image to add dpi, so:
1080p = 81.7 dpi
1440p = 108.9 dpi
2160p = 163.4 dpi

Photo Why does my new gaming monitor look aweful next to my 4 year old Dell work monitor?
I got an lg On a really good deal but the picture sucks. It’s a 27 ips 180hrz w/free sync1ms bp. One downside is it is a 1080 but that should effect the white washy look, right? The photo doesn’t do it Justice of how bad it is.

Photo Please help, what did I just peel off my monitor?
Got a very nice OLED monitor for Christmas and was really excited. I started peeling what I thought was the protective film, but I stopped when I realized it was literally intentionally stuck under the bottom of the screen (see last picture). Is this not a protective film? What the hell did I just peel off? The monitor looks the same on the sides with and without the film, so what is it? What do I do now?

Discussion Second monitor dies when I give it Discord
The thing is 10+ years old so its probably about time
Fixes itself for a bit if I turn it off and on so maybe its gonna stay for a while longer
I am going to need a new one sooner or later so any recommendations are appreciated (very budget ones, like less than $50)
Edit: guess what i halved the brightness and saturation and it seems to be fine now youve got more time in you buddy
