Thank you all for your responses. I definitely noticed all of that when I was searching. Back when I got my current monitor, I was like I'm going to use this for a few years and get an OLED 4K monitor when it comes out, but 9 years later there are still none of reasonable size and somewhat affordable. Very interesting, thank you! ----- Based on what I'm seeing, I'm going to skip out on the OLED due to burn in risk with lots of static content. I haven't had any luck with finding any stores to try out a Neo G7, which from what I heard, some people like the curvature, some heat it, and also see how the viewing angles are in person. The Innocn 32M2V was another one that looks close if I couldn't have my ideal monitor, but decide to get something close. Alternatively, I wonder if I should just get some placeholder monitor and wait for something better to come out. Is there anything of note coming out soon?

Hello, I need to replace my 9 year old 4K monitor soon as it's starting to show signs of hardware problems. I'm having trouble deciding on what to buy since my ideal choice of a monitor still doesn't exist yet. There are 2 routes I could take right now, a cheap monitor that meets my minimum requirements and get my ideal monitor later down the road, or a monitor that comes close to my ideal monitor. $1500 CAD is around the max I want to be spending right now. Any advice would be appreciated. Uses: Around 9 hours per day on average. Close to 90% for normal use (programming, browsing the web, etc.), remaining 10% of the time for gaming and media consumption. I WFH and currently use the laptop from work beside it as the computer, a mic, webcam, and extra monitor during work. Requirements: Resolution: 4K Size: 28 - 32 inches 1 DP input and 1 HDMI 2.0/2.1 input Ideal monitor: Everything in the requirements plus: Variable refresh rate down to 24 Hz (does Freesync work with VLC and browser based video players?) Amazing colours and reasonably colour accurate Good HDR and desktop use experience KVM 10 bit colour, 120 Hz without DSC (I'll need a new GPU for this, but I'm planning to keep the monitor for a long time) QD-OLED? (I'm not sure about this since I do use it desktop use most of the time) VESA mountable GPU: RTX 2070 Current Monitor: Samsung U28D590D 28 inch, 4K monitor which I use at 100% scaling Thanks.

Looks nice, very powerful, with both lots of storage and a microSD card slot. Can't wait to try out that camera with either 300 fps or 4k support.
