 That would drive me nuts, too.

 yeah, i'm looking forward to having a single 32" 4k OLED display... supposedly it will be here after 5 sleeps

it's an MSI Mag and hopefully it has friendly controls that aren't confusing as the ones on those two nilox VA panels... and the thing that makes me crazy with those things too is when they are mounted normal way up landscape, the provided stands don't let me set the screens actually straight... so i have flipped them so they are upside down, and that's always annoying whenever i have to reconfigure the display... landscape flipped... surely in this day and age monitors should all have a simple accelerometer that automatically sets the direction... and when they say it's calibrated, it's actually, you know, within 2% of accurate consistent color

but no, too saturated, contrast too high, gamma too low, too blue, too green, to red, they are never the same, even i buy two identical model panels and nope, very noticable differences in output

only way to solve this problem is to just have one monitor... this one i'm getting also, it's QD-OLED which means it should have a fairly flat spectrum and not three nasty peaks like most of them are, either tricolors or shitty blended phosphor illuminators... i'm over this LCD tech, can't wait until there is no more being sold they are bullshit

 The QD displays sure are amazing, from the few I've seen in person. I hope this solves your issue. I know how annoying that can be!

 yeah, i am fascinated by the theory of how they work... various sized nano particles that emit different spectra according to their size, so there is a full spectrum, very large number of different sized dots which all emit a different wavelength

i'm also really excited about finally having a desktop sized OLED display, they only have started to be produced in the last year or so at this size, previously only phones and giant tvs

i used to have a 4k IPS panel from Dell back in 2018, 24"... was really too small for the number of pixels, but i got used to sitting up real close to it and even still sitting at one side looking up at the corner on the opposite side felt like it was so far away because the picture was so sharp

so, yeah, 32" seems like the perfect size for this resolution, and i'm also a bit excited to have a display that literally only emits light when it's showing images, so even if it's on, if the display is black it's effectively going to be as dark as if it were turned off

and i'll be able to really control how much blue light, and hopefully fucking night light will just work and it will literally put no or nearly no blue light out at night time, and i'll be able to dim the display down to the point i can still see my surroundings from the dim light coming in from the town below

 oh yeah, and i checked the delivery tracking, it's actually already on the island... there is a small chance it arrives maybe tomorrow or the next day in fact

 It is incredible display tech!
