What kind of monitor screen do you prefer? Does Glossy makes much difference in colors accuracy or matte is better?
This may depend on the environment where you work with this.. glossy might be nice for watching videos.. but it’s somekind of weird if every car driving by is reflected in you screen..
..or after a while you are starring at your own mirror image.. but it might help to notice your boss walking to your desk.. ![]()
At home I have a XG32VC 32" VA panel, colors are great but the flickering in dark areas in games makes me kinda sick sometimes. I’ve been looking at getting an IPS or maybe even an OLED monitor for gaming and using the VA panel as a secondary. Funny enough, I just ordered an OLED screen yesterday as a present for my brothers birthday next week.
Get the OLED. Buying one was the single best monitor decision I think I’ve ever made.
Though I consider VA panels to be the next best option. You have to be careful when buying one, because you are sacrificing motion clarity for color vibrancy, especially if you get a cheaper one. Some of the higher end ones aren’t too bad though.
haha. Right. But does it affect much when using colors in blender? Some say Matte gives more accurate result. While Vincent from HDTVtest say Glossy gives better depth perception.
But isn’t IPS the standard when it comes to accuracy in colors? While OLED is great but then Oled makes you lose ton of details in dark grey environments that are close to black. Shadow details and black crushing?
I’d say that’s more an issue with calibration than a consequence of the technology. I’m pretty anal retentive when it comes to color accuracy, so if I found that it was crushing low light detail, I would’ve whined about it by now.
I’d say the only real problem with OLEDs is the constant threat of burn in, which isn’t as bad as some people say, but it’s always something of a concern.
To illustrate what I mean about calibration, I redid this old scene with my new monitor, and when I showed it to a few people I know, most of them complained that it was all black except for areas below the light. If it looks that way to you, then your brightness is too low, or your contrast is too high.
The problem is YOU, not me! I’m PERFECT! ![]()
I still think its a calibration issue.
The bottom pic is from HDTVTest. The user is a professional calibrator who used his mastering monitor HX310 (standard in film industry) against calibrated QN and X90L. Although QN is QLED, you should know that OLED is far worse at handling shadow details.
If you import your scene on an IPS display, then I am 100% sure you will see a lot of details in the darker area on the far left even if you calibrate it, and far top right above the mirrors. Because this is not a calibration issue rather the algorithm being too aggressive. And this is common problem with OLEDs along with burn-in.
There’s a trade-off as nothing is “perfect”
