Is there a shortlist of top of the line utilitarian monitors that you can just buy, without researching or being some niche gamer?* Something similar to LG G-series TV's. Seems like Apple Studio, Dell UltraSharp are on that list. Any others?
*Struggling for words, but I'm looking more for the expedient solution rather than the "craft beer" or "audiophile" solution.

Those shouldn't have that problem. https://news.lgdisplay.com/en/2025/12/lg-display-unveils-worlds-first-240hz-rgb-stripe-oled-panel/?ckattempt=1 https://news.lgdisplay.com/en/2025/12/lg-display-unveils-wor...
