Q: Why on earth is this only 60HZ?

A: Because this is intended for creative content producers that are working in 24, 30, or 60 fps... not gamers

Q: is burn-in still a big concern of oled displays? I wonder if there is any 'new' technology specifically to prolong the process on this monitor

A: OLED TVs have special features and settings to preserve image quality and prevent burn in and image retention. First, under OLED Screen Saver there is the Pixel Refresher that calibrates any issues that may arise on the screen when your TV has been turned on for a long time. Calibration takes more than an hour. The second feature that can be employed is the Screen Shift feature which, moves the screen slightly at regular intervals to preserve image quality. A third option is the Logo Luminance Adjustment, which can detect static logos on the screen and reduce brightness to help decrease permanent image retention. ^Daphane

Q: Does this support HDCP 2.2?

A: Hi, this model does not support HDCP2.2. ^Vanessa

My Best Buy open box 32EP950 was said to be in excellent condition by Best Buy. It was an accurate description. There were a few fingerprints on the screen and some dust/styrofoam, however, once I cleaned it off, this thing passes for new. The monitor settings showed a lifetime use of around 48 hours. Everything was in the box. My PG27UQ was dying and literally completely died the day before I got this, so it was perfect timing. Although the PG27UQ was great, it was not built to last (especially with the cheap fan). The build quality on this 32EP950 actually seems quite good, so I think it will last a very long time so long as nothing is done to cause burn in. Compared to my PG27UQ, this monitor is very similar in most "normal" scenes. This is high praise, because I consider the PG27UQ the best monitor I have ever used. (And I have used a lot of them.) In most "normal" content, it's hard to tell the difference between the two. In very bright (mostly peak specular highlight situations), it is clearly not as bright as the PG27UQ (of course) and some content mastered for 1000 nits can get blown out without the correct settings to adjust PQ clip, which mitigate this to a tolerable level. Obviously, extremely bright all screen content (like flash the screen 1000 nits) triggers the ABL, and it is clearly not as bright as the PG27UQ. This is just the reality of OLED, however. You are trading amazing dark performance for lesser bright performance. That said, dark content is definitely superior to the PG27UQ, but, honestly, not to the extent you would expect. The difference is definitely there, though. The one other thing I will say about that, however, is that because this is OLED, halo/bloom is 100% non-existent. Dark scenes that challenge FALD monitors like the PG27UQ in high halo/bloom situations (like star fields, particle effects, etc.) are vastly better on this monitor, of course. "Normal" dark content is better in comparison, but not vastly so. That just speaks to the great ability of the PG27UQ to render dark content, however. This thing would obliterate a non-FALD TN/VA/IPS monitor in basically ALL dark content situations. I mean, absolutely destroy it. Out of the box, Windows is DEFINITELY not setup with OLED in mind. All SDR content (even when Windows is switched to HDR mode, actually) is dull and lacks color with default settings. Like REALLY dull. Adjusting the Nvidia control panel brightness, contrast, and digital vibrancy settings, however, VASTLY improved this situation and the desktop now looks very similar to how the PG27UQ presents it at default settings. (Brightness at 55, contrast at 60, and digital vibrancy at 70, Windows HDR desktop enable) SDR content, like an SDR video for example, are also vastly improved with these settings. You may find adjusting the separate Windows HDR brightness settings (this is a totally different, unique, Windows HDR brightness setting separate from the Nvidia control panel) also may be to your benefit. Compared to the PG27UQ, this thing is THIN and LIGHT. Probably the thinnest and lightest 32" monitor I have ever seen. Obviously, not having a fan is nice too. I didn't even realize how loud my PG27UQ fan had until the monitor finally died and turned off. I do miss the fast refresh rate of the PG27UQ. Definitely feel it. PG27UQ has long been discontinued, however, and it seems the new 32" PG32UQX is lacking in halo/bloom performance, so I'm moving to OLED for now. So what is my conclusion on this thing? It's pretty impressive, honestly, for the first real OLED monitor on the market, apart from lack of fast refresh, no HDMI 2.1, and not so great peak brightness (only in comparison to 1000 nits monitors like the PG27UQ, though). If my PG27UQ had not died, I would probably return it from a price/value proposition until prices come down. I'm here with a dead discontinued PG27UQ next to me, however, so this thing is a keeper.

Class Leading Monitor; Questionable 'Open Box'
Fantastic monitor. Probably one of the best i've ever used. The screen itself is extremely sensitive to glare, so definitely wish it came with a monitor hood. Bought an Open Box model that arrived missing the monitor stand and with 1000 hours on the unit. Luckily purchased Geek Squad protection, but this was listed as 'excellent' and definitely not reflective of condition received.
