Samsung launches the first 500Hz OLED gaming monitor for $1,300

Odisay has such a crappy software that I don&#x27;t recommend it to anyone and I am selling my own after few months because of it.<p>- 2 or 3 lengthy (a minut or so) popups each time it is turned on, without option to disable them<p>- Washed out colors randomly when switching to HDR<p>- TOS agreements that can&#x27;t be agreed upon and stay on the screen<p>- Prevents computer to go to sleep mode, combined with OLED burnin that is mindblowing<p>- Physical problems like shaky parts<p>Hard skip, can&#x27;t recommend it to anyone, despite good reviews all around.

The claim that &quot;human eye can&#x27;t see more than 24Hz&quot; is rightly ridiculed, but I feel things are going a little too far in the opposite direction lately...<p>However, improvements in brightness and contrast are wonderful.

Is that kind of refresh rate even supported by current hdmi&#x2F;displayport standards and graphics cards? Can I realistically expect to - for example - make a 4k hdr video at 500 fps, and play it back on that screen, connected to something like a newest macbook pro or a desktop with nvidia gpu, and actually get the correct output (verifiable by a high fps camera for example) ?

480Hz OLED is on the market for some time now. I don&#x27;t see how 20 more is newsworthy.

metal back, and fancy talk about heat management to prevent burn in, then brings up the unanswered questions of exactly how much power does this thing consume, how hot is it running, and how does that look from the point of long term reliability, and general comfort? add in a hot gpu, and other gadgets and what is the total heat output for a gaming set up likely to be?

I’m sure it will be a difference you can see!

Does it really matter above say 144?

2K at 27” is some crap though.
