Is there a such thing as an oled gaming monitor?

Sorta. Are they good? Sorta. Should you use one? No. Why? Unavoidable burn-in.

Yup, the Alienware 5520QF, which is the only "gaming" OLED monitor.

But its about $2500.

 

There's also the LG 48CX9LB, which is a 48" OLED monitor for around $1200. It's sold as a TV, but features G-Sync and 120Hz.

 

I think it will still take 2 years until we get the first true OLED gaming monitor. But to be honest I'm hoping for microLED, which is better in avery way.

How long do you think untill the used market is flooded with super cheap oled TV's with burned screens?

 

Some people are using oled tvs as gaming monitors nowadays, with them having all the features you'd expect solely from gaming monitors...

Already is happening. But people still want a crapload of money for them as if nothing is wrong when they look yellow and have obvious burn in.

I´m really interested in one as well. If the LG OLED48CX9LB had a smaller version (43 inch or smaller), I would get one. 48 inches is just too big for a desk and the pixel density would be too low, I think. 

Can´t imagine burn-in being a real issue, tough. Animated wallpapers and hidden taskbars should do the trick!
