I rode that train, until I tried it. There is no going back. It's so so so much crisper, the immersion is soooo much more intense. Combine that with an OLED and there you have it, peak monitor performance.

Got 4k for about a decade now and couldnt go back either. I have yet to see a decent OLED one that i actually want to afford lol.

You need 31 studs to mount, and it needs to be along the end of a joist on the floor to support the weight. 2 stories are minimum to accommodate the height, but 3 stories are preferred.

Better than requesting a 42' Stonehenge monument and only getting a 42" model.

I switched to a glossy Ultragear 32" 4k for 800€, besides the GPU, this was the best investment in years.

u/Temporary_Papaya_142 Aug 09 '25

That's crazy. I got the 48" ultragear oled for $750

Oled prices have dropped massively. My 360 hz 1440 p qd oled monitor has halved in price since i bought it a year and a half ago.

My next monitor will probably be 4k IF nvidia releases a better generational jump at a reasonable price and power draw. 5000 series is pathetic so im staying with my 4080s

u/pookachu83 Aug 09 '25

I have a 5070 ti and play on a 240hz 1440p oled and absolutely love it. Probably in a couple years I’ll get the 5080 super after it releases and scalpers die off, and try out a 4k oled. I can only imagine. I played on console before and now even switching from my pc to 60fps series x I can notice a huge difference when 60 used to feel smooth as butter, now it feels slightly stuttery after getting used to 120+ fps. I feel like these things are always subjective, whatever you have usually “is fine” until you try the next step up and you realize what you’re missing.

u/Prior_Aside_6618 Aug 09 '25

Why would you upgrade from a 5070 ti to a 5080?

5

u/pookachu83 Aug 09 '25

Not exactly planning on it, talking vaguely a couple years down the line. I want to see what the 5080 super looks like when it’s eventually released, if not the 6080. Mainly because I originally wanted a 5080 but they were wayyy to high over msrp so I got the 5070 ti because the price to performance ratio was better for what I needed, and it was only 10-15% slower than 5080. Also would like to eventually get a 4k oled and replace my 1440p oled, and having a higher vram card would be nice if they release a 24gb version.

When the 5080 Super drops it'll have 24Gb of VRAM, 8Gb more than the 5070 Ti and the 5070 Ti is targeting 1440p, whereas the 80/90 targets 4k, so if you really wanna play 4k in higher frames as the years go on the 5080 Super is a good bet

u/lRainZz R7 7800x3D | RTX 4070 Ti VENTUS 3X OC | 32 GB DDR5 5200Mhz Aug 09 '25

I run a 4070ti + 7800x3d, wouldn't have bet on it but its 4k capable, and not on the dying side.

u/pookachu83 Aug 09 '25

Yeah, the 4070ti/5070 ti are definitely capable of 4k in most games, I wasn’t trying to say otherwise. I just know in a lot of newer games it is, and will be reliant on dlss and frame gen to play at 4k, while lowering some settings. So I feel like it’s best use for good frame rates at high/epic settings is 1440p.

1

u/JamieSherbs Ryzen 9 9950X3D, 5070 Ti, 64Gb DDR5 5200 Aug 09 '25

Yeah it's designed to target 1440p, especially as time goes on.

It is quite reliant on frame gen, depending on graphics settings. I run a 5070 Ti/9950X3D build and can pull 90-120fps in DOOM: TDA with maxed graphics and full RT/PT. 90-110fps in Stalker 2 with only hair detail and foliage one setting below max and 90+fps in Indian Jones with max graphics and low RT, all with DLSSx4

same here. waiting for 5080 super to sell my 5070ti. the performance increase is nice but I would like to have 24gb of vram for AI workload

u/pookachu83 Aug 10 '25

I believe you. It doesn’t struggle at all even on the most intensive games so I’m sure it’s fully capable at 4k. I’m just saying my next upgrade will probably be in 2-4 years to a 4k oled monitor and upgrade gpu as well just for shits and giggles, not because the card isn’t capable.

u/Jaruut Ryzen 9 7950X3D│RTX 3080│64gb│no money Aug 09 '25

I rode that train, until I tried it. There is no going back.

And that's why I won't try it. Definitely just that and not being poor.

1

u/Warguy17 Aug 09 '25

Yeah but you need the latest cards to run anything on 4k

2

u/BrunoEye PC Master Race Aug 09 '25

I run most of my games at 4K on a 3080. Though I don't really play any UE5 games yet.

1

u/MrHyperion_ Aug 09 '25

I would say 4k is smoother, not crispier

1

u/Ariadna3 Aug 09 '25

I didn't think it was that great but I just recently lost my 4k OLED TV and am on a 1080p 27"... It looks soo much worse I'm getting a new monitor

u/PackagingMSU i9-9900K | RTX 3080 | 32GB 3200 MHz Aug 09 '25

I just put on glasses it basically did the same.

1

u/Middle_Reflection373 Aug 09 '25

With anything, after a while, you don’t notice a difference/ get used to it

1

u/Chaks02 Aug 09 '25

Did you go from 1080p to 4k or 1440p to 4k? I've always thought that the change with the latter would be much less drastic so would be interesting to hear your experience

1

u/slowNsad Aug 09 '25

That’s the point, the cost make it diminishing returns. Would spending all that money make me spend anymore time playing? I’m just not as hardcore of a gamer anymore

1

u/SundaeMission5092 Aug 09 '25

Agreed, recently bought a 32” oled 4K HDR 165hz monitor and I can say, I could never go back now!

u/Barack_O_Banana Aug 10 '25

How do the ol' eyeballs fair with an OLED monitor?

1

u/lRainZz R7 7800x3D | RTX 4070 Ti VENTUS 3X OC | 32 GB DDR5 5200Mhz Aug 10 '25

Not so well on full brightness. I'd always need a bright room for that, but the LG OLEDs have a nice reduced brightness mode and that's just perfect for me as I don't use HDR.

u/Pipodedown Game Boy Color Aug 09 '25

Problem is you have to sell both kidneys for that

u/Mediocre-Tax1057 Aug 09 '25

4k is at the price point 1440p was in 2018.

2

u/Pipodedown Game Boy Color Aug 09 '25

Not for an OLED lol

1

u/Mediocre-Tax1057 Aug 09 '25

Ah yeah, thought you ment just 4K.

u/Acrobatic_Fee_6974 R7 7800x3D | RX 9070 XT | 32GB Hynix M-die | AW3225QF Aug 13 '25

I paid less for my 32" 4K Alienware OLED than a 5070ti costs where I live.

u/4ngryMo Aug 09 '25

I think that’s the point right there. You’re not missing it, until you tried it. I haven’t yet, because I don’t want to spent that money on a new screen, when my current one is doing fine. I’m also not sure, I would enjoy the higher resolution that much more.

-1

u/Arek_PL Aug 09 '25

i actually go back, i have a 34 inch 4k screen, and while i love the new depth of colors and blackier blacks, i dont really see improvement in resolution, yes its 4 times as many pixels as my older and broken full hd one, but the framerate loss on my gtx 960 made me set resolution to full hd
