Absolutely not interested in spending that much for something that’s not OLED. OLED is the future of display technologies. We’re already seeing it hit the laptop display market. You’ll get significantly better contrast for professional work, power savings, and reduced eye strain from not staring at 1000nit light bulbs all day. Also the stand part was funny.

I doubt you are getting OLED with reference colors that are long term stable with that brightness. These are pro monitors for professional video folks. I would love to have one but I can't possibly justify it for anything I do.

OLED absolutely is not the future of display technology. Besides phones, it's a stopgap solution for TVs until MicroLEDs become feasible. OLED makes for terrible monitors to use for hours on end, with all the stationary UI elements causing burn-in. It's an unsolved problem. OLED also isn't all that bright, especially on a smaller screen. You want those nits for bright HDR content, like the sun, not to stare at it all day. OLED also isn't substantially more energy efficient. OLED visibly degrades in quality well within its lifetime. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love OLED TVs to watch films on, but they don't make for good monitors.

  Lenovo is already starting to sell them. SamsUng would have told you they are too expensive to produce until LG figured it out, just like they’ve figured out how to make sceeen from phones to TVs with real longevity. We’ll see about competition when it comes.

    Nobody figured out burn-in or longevity with OLED. Sure, some companies may sell such products, that doesn't mean they solved these issues. It just means they don't care about those issues.

OLED is absolute crap. Low brightness, slower than LCD, burnin, uses more energy for bright UIs, turns yellow with time (as blue LEDs degrade faster), and a thousand more things I don't remember. OLED is only sold because of eye-candy.

  Significant advancements have been made that make degradation to half brightness slower than LCD displays possible with less energy. OLED displays are already being put into consumer screens including the laptop market with the X1 extreme gen 2, and I believe Dell and Razer are now making them as well.
