I think 4K monitors have its merits, but you're right in that if HDR contents don't make up most of the monitor's usage, no point getting this specifically.
It directly contradicts what they have in their returns policy page.
Firstly, ClearType is to render text in a way that makes them look clearer for certain types of pixel arrangement. Microsoft ClearType does not support the current OLED pixel arrangement and won't fix the issue.
I used ClearType on all monitors I had, the first time I got my old DW, I noticed the fringing was unfixable by ClearType and returned it, it took no more than a couple of minutes for me to notice.
It's honestly easy to tell because there is some rainbow effect glowing around the text, and perhaps more prevalent in some types of fonts and backgrounds.
These are from AW3423DW, IDK how obvious it is to others. At its current scale which is not even close to being called pixel peeing, do you see it?

These 2 are from a non-OLED panel that is only 1080p, and the left one is calibrated with ClearType.

You see why for ppl that already used ClearType throughout different systems, it's quite obvious.
Also, I am not saying if anyone should buy or not buy based on this, or whether the monitor is good or bad. Just pointing out the problem that others have been talking about.
Tbh, these images r also nothing compared to reality, where more details can be seen..
thats unfortunate. u know now i even try to make my font bigger on this HWZ thread, looking from my DWF monitor. cant even see the fringing haha...personally prefer ips or va full rgb pixel for monitor.
had done oled and bgr monitor, moi OCD cannot unsee fringing text
unless got really high ppi oled monitor like mobile phone now, pentile alignment still can accept
I am not sure that applies to outside of US. Based on my 1 off experience, the CS told me it is a one way trip. They will just ship faulty item back and refund me. But if the policy is there, then no harm checking with the Amazon CS.
I guess it boils down to the PPI. The more pixels in a given display size, it just makes the image sharper. I always observe the "blurriness" when switching from laptop/ mobile devices to a PC monitor. Anyway, I feel if one's priority is to play a game, less need for eye candy, then it makes sense to stick with a lower resolution to avoid having to pay for high end GPU. I went with 4K mainly for console gaming which does not scale well on an ultra wide monitor.I hate to say this. I used to think 4k is useless for gaming. Too taxing etc.
But after I game on it. Mind blown. It's pristine sharp lol. Now that we have GPUs to game at 4k. It is really interesting to see how it goes further.
It's really just eye candy
Damn, Samsung asked me to provide proof of purchase so chances are they will let me refund my G8 Neo, but now the gaincity page for the LG OLED is invalid. Can't find preorder for the monitor anywhere.

Almost everywhere, if talk to salesman, got 10% off.
Hopefully the refund can be process sooner for you.
Cool yeah I called up gaincity and they were actually still accepting preorders, but I'm not getting anywhere near 10% off how do you do it haha.
Just go to courts Funan, talk to the lg monitor salesman there.
for the dell monitor, u talk to online agent will have discount code?
Yes can talk to agent to negotiate one.
nice.. i also want to get the dwf version but waiting sales promotion. didn't know talk to agent without promo code can also enjoy some discount.
Agreed nevertheless the larger screen also cost higher which also can deter adoption too.
