OLED monitor momentum expected to continue — analysts expect 1.34 million units shipped by year end
I am waiting for a 4K monitor at least 120fps, that has proper DP 2.1 support. It is ridiculous that even today most of those monitors are coming with DP 1.4.
What’s the big benefit to 2.1?
The DP1.4a supports maximum 4K at 120fps, everything above that is using DSC (display stream compression).and if I am not wrong adds a bit of latency and a bit of processing overhead, because your GPU has to compress the frames. Additionally the compression adds some loss to the equation, but according to reports it is very hard to distinguish it from the lossless picture.
It is not a big deal but it is nice to have support for DpP2.1. DP2.1 has more than double the bandwidth of DP1.4a, meaning that it supports 4K 240fps, introduces FEC (forward error correction) and improves the HDR quality.
The bottom line is that if I shed north of 1K I would like to get something which is future proof.

You’ll have to wait for a new generation of graphics cards to actually get 4k@240Hz without DSC, because while the monitor supports it, the only graphics cards that even have DP2.1 right now don’t actually support the required UHBR20
Yes, I am aware of that limitation, but hopefully the new gen will have fully featured support for it.
How dare they withhold the tech!
