I’m assuming it works fine, but wondering if anyone here has any experience with it… Obviously, the HDR feature won’t work unfortunately…

    My current setup is two alienware AW3423DWF monitors (plus a 3rd acer 1440p monitor to the side)

    I’ve seen no problems with them at all, truly black blacks and color reproduction seems great to my eyes (I’m not a professional though)

    HDR also works if I’m using steamdeck session on nobara, though in that case only one monitor is being used.

    Here’s a pic of the setup for an idea of what it looks like.

      Wow, that is an incredible setup! That’s the exact display I was thinking of buying. Did you have to do anything special configuration wise?

      Where you referring to this nobara project?

    I’ve been using a LG 27GR95QE for a couple of months now and I love it.
    One of the issues with OLED monitors is sub-pixel rendering/layouts being different than usual LCD, which you can mostly bypass in Linux (I’ve been using it for work and am really not bothered after 8hrs/day looking at code).

    I’ve been using an Asus vivobook with an oled screen for the past two months. It works perfectly fine, imo especially on Wayland with the proper scaling setting. The only thing you should be aware of is that some apps still rely exclusively on X, and those will look blurry

      Off topic, but what distro are you using? I have an Asus vivobook as well and neither the speakers, bluetooth, or touchpad gestures worked whenever I installed Zorin or PopOS. I don’t have the time or knowledge to mess around with it so I just went back to Windows

      Do you know if your OLED screen has a standard pixel layout or if it has one of the modified ones?

      For example QD-OLED are structured in a triangle and some of the LG ones have 4 instead of 3 (if I’m recalling it correctly). The result on windows for both of these is a slightly more blurry text.

        The blurriness comes from the (fractional) scaling mechanism use for X applications inside Wayland. Some time ago KDE enabled a mode that fixes blurriness (using the “native” X scaling).

          yes exactly, it doesn’t have to do with some screen specifics, but rather with the fractional scaling (honestly, with any scaling at all in my experience)
