My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
Other communities:
The more I know about specific topics, the more I distrust DF on their framing. They don't lie outright, but they tend to strike a very industry-friendly tone in their reporting.
I know a fair bit about panel technology, but not enough to completely dismiss them outright on this. However, I don't trust the "perceived" clearance here. Especially not quantified as "4x" (the detail, lol). Not from people who promote temporal anti-aliasing or GI and generated frames.
Do you distrust Blur Busters too? They also claim it’s the second coming of Jesus.
This is completely useless for consumers at large as its only point would be to bring OLED like motion clarity to mundane LCD display tech. Since it requires added HW and the starting price is the same as far superior OLED screens, you'd have to have lobotomized to invest in this BS. Shame on DF for being sell outs and not addressing any of this. Also, 75hz floor... Oh fuck right off out of here with your advertorials DF!
Its motion clarity is better than oled, oled still suffers from sample and hold blur etc. oled is not as clear as crt. I say this as a person who loves oled screens. This sounds like amazing tech.
It isn't, it's a marketing stunt to distract from the price and absence of consumer products. This shit is for Shroud, not Timmy in an Oregon farm.

OLED has the burn-in downside on monitors...
LCD not
Depends on how long you want to keep the monitor and how it's used. OLED also has infinitely better contrast, colour volume and overall image quality. Not only is this pulse tech useless for 99,99% of consumers, it adds a proprietary hardware failure point on the monitors, it brings the price to the level of the far superior OLED alternatives, it's only compatible with one OS and a subset of products for a vendor of GPUs and so on and so forth. Also, good luck seeing anything during pvp, even with 4x improved motion clarity, when the image quality itself is dogshit. This is DF paying lip service for the dawg who pays their bills, nothing more, nothing less.
oled has burn in
LCD has uniformity issues. Every technology has downsides. Image permanece is not an issue in modern OLED screens, especially not in those sold at the price points pulse tech will be available at.
This is just another episode of capital shitting on the cobsumer and coming up with some marketing BS to pass on as innovation. Like Gsync, the VESA consortium had been working on variable display for years, NV releases a proprietary first try and becomes the "precedent" creator. Much like Musk being a Tesla founder...
burn in however, is a dealbreaker.
plenty of uniformity and color issues after it has been used for a few of years.
It really depends on how long you want to keep the monitor and how it's used. (Don't click the link before enabling ublock, please!)
There's also LCD degradation and in some cases it can be far more bothersome than burn-in.
i usually keep my monitors until it breaks beyond quick repair, i used my last one for like 15 years.
Ye, I guess OLED is less than ideal for you with those requirements. On the flipside, so is this pulse tech if your monitor is 15y old, it's an extra proprietary HW failure point for no benefit to 99,99% of the population and increases the price needlessly.
