YOU CAN BUY OLED PC monitors from a growing list of brands. Ultimately, however, the actual OLED panels that go into those screens are sourced from just two companies: LG and Samsung. It's the former that provides the 27-inch OLED panel in the new Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240. Unfortunately, that's an issue.
Hold that thought while we cover speeds and feeds. This 27 incher runs the same 1440p native resolution as similar OLEDS from Asus and LG. They use the same LG WOLED technology and offer similar specifications. Corsair rates the panel at 0.03ms for pixel response, with peak brightness at 1,000 nits.
Again, that's some serious punch, though it only applies to a three percent or smaller window and Corsair doesn't quote full-screen brightness, the latter arguably being what you want to know. Typically, the full-screen brightness of all OLED panels and LG panels in particular is dramatically below the peak brightness achieved in a small portion of the panel.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
