Don’t care! It’s the golden age of tvs! Oleds are a technology that’s actually living up to the hype. I have an lg wallpaper tv and you can roll it up! The new ones look even more flexible. One even rolls up into a box. Robots will catch up. The future of TVs is now!

I want my OLED monitors. I've been waiting for years for an OLED monitor, it's my dream. The closest thing is VA+Quantum Dot monitors, but they just aren't the same.

  I would love an affordable eInk monitor. A lot of nights I want to do textual work on my computer (coding or writing), but my eyes are so done with the brightness.

  I agree completely. This article suggests a few reasons why CES was so disappointing in regards monitor/laptop OLED: https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/oled-laptops-and-monitors-are-missing-at-ces-2018/ https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/oled-laptops-and-mon... Thank goodness for ASUS offering us a glimmer of hope with their portable OLED monitor.

  Not sure if I want a OLED monitor with current OLED technology for everyday use. All current OLED phone displays will have (slight) burn in after 1-2 years and I am pretty sure the same would happen on a monitor which you use daily for 8-10 hours.

  What do you want it for? I recently got an OLED TV which I'm now using as a monitor for games and video, and it's brilliant (although you might think otherwise if you have extraordinary latency demands). I also find the large size of the display more immersive than a conventional monitor. I still use an LCD for static content (programming; web browsing; etc.) as I want to avoid burn in, but I don't really care about high contrast and wide colour gamut in that use case.

Amazing, I always wanted to roll up my TV.

  I can't work out if you're joking.

    I want it too and I'm not joking. I don't want to 'waste' a whole wall for a large TV, but if I could hang a rolled up TV on a book case and only pull it out when I needed it I would love that. That being said I'm not expecting to see one at a price I'd want to pay in the next 15 years

      Just out of curiosity, what do you expect to be able to use the wall for when it's not covered by the TV? Roll-up posters hung somewhere else that roll out to cover the same area?

        what do you expect to be able to use the wall for when it's not covered by the TV? A bookshelf. I have a bookshelf on the wall doing what bookshelves do. And then I'll hang the TV 'roll' in front of one of the shelves and pull it down in front of the bookshelf when I want to use it.

        You could do that with a projector, too, probably very well indeed for the cost of a similarly sized OLED display that rolls up like a projection screen. (Wouldn't be surprised if that OLED roll has a pretty limited lifespan, too, between all that physical stress and the way OLEDs degrade anyway.)
