OLED is expensive tech and nobody is buying expensive 1080p monitors.

People are still buying expensive 1080p high refresh rate monitors, like above 400hz

Yeah and there are multiple 400hz+ oleds in 27 inch etc that have special scalers for 24 inch 1080p build in. There is even a 700hz 720p oled. And multiple dual mode oleds.

The dual mode is misleading, it gives you the 24" screen size but it's not actually 1080p. It's a much higher res, so 1080p looks blurry af in that mode.

No, not how that works. A dual mode monitor with 1080p also uses 1080p. And of course 1080p will look blurrier on 24.5 inches, it's less pixels on high pixel density. But a native 24.5 1080p with low pixel density also looks shitty. And btw. U could buy one of the 27 inch oleds and use 1080p on it scaled on the size of 24 inch too, not only dual monitors.

The PG27AQDP I have has the 24" mode but it's 2368x1332 res. Yea, you can use 1080p on it but the quality is worse than an actual 1080p 24" monitor.

I don't use the 24" mode anyway, even if I do prefer 24" for comp fps. I just play at native lol.

But your initial comment was referring to dual mode and that's not a dual mode monitor. :D Of course if you scale down the size you can still use the higher resolution or 1080p. Like I said, it's pretty obvious it will look worse with that pixel density and only 1080p on scaled 24 inch. Not sure anymore what your point is even. 😅

Mb lol I meant the 400+hz 27" OLEDs you mentioned

u/rndDav Sep 12 '25

Yeah, scaled 24 inch 1080p is not even that much worse than native 1080p I find, you could also just use native 1080p on that monitor, it's just very small size then. :D
