Yeah I think 1k was too high but people paid it. I think 800 would have been more fair but the demand was there. 4k gaming is expensive but honestly getting the 4090 and the c2 was worth it to me.
Playing cyber punk 4k psycho settings, max rtx, hdr, max density crowds, dlss3 max, on the oled is truly insane. Going from 1440p 165hz ips to this is mind blowing. And to think Cyber Punk came out in 2020 it feels years ahead of other games.
Next gen is rumored to be an even bigger leap than this gen so you'll have your shot at 4k gaming then. Maybe just save your money and hold out for then since you agree the 240hz 1440p panels are priced high. As for dough monitors I would not go for them lol. Huge scam and after so long you can't even do a charge back on your card.
