Honestly it depends on the price of these new models. I live check by check so buying 5x monitors over the years would be easier than paying a larger sum for a better one.
If I can afford these new ones I’ll most likely go with those, but judging by the prices of the latest and greatest right now, I doubt I will be able to.
I think the most exciting part of this for me is the possible reduction in price for last gen OLED monitors.
I used to play Star Wars 4th Edition Pen and Paper RPG with a 40 year old and his 32 year old wife when I was 16. They were just harmless geeks, like me.
If anything, my mom making snarky comments about the 40 year old guy really soured our relationship for a while. My friend who was my age and who also played with us sent her a picture in the mail of the 3 of us holding hands under a rainbow. She was pissed.
It’s fine. Your son could just as easily be friends with someone his age that’s a psychopath. It’s in the person, not the age. At 18 you’re going to have to trust his judgement a little more.
There’s a reason I’m still using a seven year old monitor thats half broken and artifacts in the cold, lol. Hence why I’m looking forward to price reductions.
I only have one hobby and thats PC gaming and a bit of scripting. I don’t sub to services, I don’t have needless bills. It is what it is. :(
