Hi Guys,

 

I am looking at getting a new TV to use as my monitor..

I'd recommend that you do some research on OLED displays in general--it's been a number of years since I last looked myself, but at the time they were prone to image burn-in, and with flight sim displays that may paint parts of a panel image for prolonged periods, it presented a potential problem.  The technology may have advanced to reduce/eliminate that risk...or not.  Might be worth some of your time to get the current scoop.

I always appreciate advice that can save loads of money by not making the wrong decision.  For me it is one of the best uses of the forums.

Thanks Bob

The other thing to bear in mind with OLED is that unless you blackout your sim room you may not fully appreciate the blackness of the blacks.

Nighttime flying would be great but an a/b comparison with a LED TV may make you reassess things if you fly primarily in daytime.

As long as a TV can support chroma 4:4:4 it will be fine for Windows and flight sim. Any TV that has HDR is generally okay.

I just Bought this one which is a 48". It is also HDMI2.1 has g sync free sync, VRR this should future proof you for awhile. Alot of great reviews . This is not just a TV but geared towards gamer's and Simmers. You will need a 3 series card to get the most out of it as the ports are HDMI 2.1

Whilst I only have a 2080Tl I thought I would future proof myself..
