45 OLED monitors - poor resolution?

[lIrenicuSl]

Hi,

Could anyone expalin me why 45'' OLED monitors, have poor resolution?
What do I mean by asking that, is a fact that pixel density is very bad, because most of them have 3440x1440 resolution.
I did few Calculations and it seems, that pixel density is around 45% lower when we compare it to 49'' 5120x1440
5120x1440 on 49'' => PPI2 = 11,782
3440x1440 on 45'' => PPI2 = 6,868
Right now i am using Xaoimi 144 HZ [3440x1440] and I would like to change the monitor, but i am really confused what should I do.
Is there any partical reason why OLED monitors dont have better resolution with such sizes? [around 45'']
I found that there are some VA panels with great resolution and size, but sadly they are still VA panels, those monitors are:
LG 45GR65DC-B 45,0 5120 x 1440
Lenovo Legion R45w-30 44.5" 5120 x 1440
Acer Nitro XZ452CU V 45.5" 5120 x 1440

With such sizes and resolution we are getting around 14,00 PPI2 which is more than 100% pixel density per inch2 when we compare it to 3440x1440 resolution.

Could any1 explain me why noone is making 45'' OLED with 5120x1440?

Because those are TVs, not monitors at that size, lol.

Being serious, around that size you hit 4kuhd and ditch the wider aspect ratio. There is a monitor that's 52(?)" Which is 7680x2160... but it's pricey.

Also, the pixel density between 3440/5120 x 1440 us like 40% more when looking at your screenshots and the 45" example (118 vs 82 ppi = ~36 ppi difference. 36/82 = ~44% increase in ppi.... or did you mean ppi there and not %??

Edit: I see what youre saying, ppi2... I dont even understand the relevance there versus ppi, lol

why are you worried about PPI? are you sitting right on top of the monitor? i am running 2 1080p IPS monitors, i do not see anything that makes me want to change them. only reason i personally think someone should worry about PPI is watching at distance, IE your couch to watch a movie. i would rather have a 60in tv in 1080P then a 60in tv in 720P. if your a few feet away, worry more about aspect ratio, resolution, OLED vs M-LED vs IPS vs VA.

I am wondering about PPI² [pixel per inch²) because i use 8hours/day this monitor to read text, and i am wondering if with that big size as 45'' the letters will be sharp enough, so my eyes wont get a squint .
I think ill have to go or for 49'' or wait some few years , i found few more monitors but they are not so poplar in my country and 35% more expensive than suggested amazon prices;


But still, anyone knows why noone makes 45'' with better resolution? Even if this monitors would look like as TVs?

PPI is simply a function of number of pixels in a space. The answer to why it's better or worse is in the math.

If you want better PPI, get a monitor with higher resolution in the same size. Or a smaller monitor with the same resolution.

5120x2160 45" parts are due soon:

Thanks this is good to hear, but still this resolution is confusing me, i really dont understeand why there cant be 5120x1440 for 45 inch.
Could there be any reason because of pixel density and size for ultra wide? like pixels dont fit or smthing like that?

Isn't it the opposite? The closer you are, the higher ppi you want so you don't see the 'pixels'? The further away the less it matters??

PPI is simply a function of

Right. But what's ppi2?

Ppi will tell you how you can see text already, no?

Economies of scale. Why not a 43"? Why not a 47"? And the 10 PPI difference between the two, I can't imagine it will be significant.

Anyway, I still don't understand ppi2.... won't lie. Ppi will tell you how you can see text already, no?

I suppose it's more relevant when you're looking at both horizontal AND vertical separately...I guess. PPI isn't a straight horizontal or vertical measurement, but diagonal.

Yes I agree that 10ppi wont make a diffrence, but still there are no OLED monitors with 45'' and high resolution, this is what i have found but still noone of them is an ultrawide:
