how is oled feasible

even if you avoid static content there is windows toolbar?

you can make it auto hide

Toolbar+app window+etc

 

What's feasible about it is the fact that if you buy the more recent OLED panel, the less prone it is to burn-in and the more anti-burn in, or more sophisticated features the monitor has to mitigate/avoid it.

 

It has 0.03ms response time, deep black and good contrast, and good screen uniformity, no backlight bleed or glow.

 

The only person that doesn't want OLED is the person that can't afford to buy another monitor once the OLED eventually "wears down", or person that wants precise color accuracy as possible.

+ agressive screensaver to avoid any accidental static content staying up for too long.

Besides what's listed above. I was pretty much told that you should expect about 5 years out of an OLED monitor before you downgrade it to a secondary screen. 

 

Now that being said, most feel that OLED has the best picture quality so it out weighs cons. If my circumstances were different id likely upgrade to an OLED TV, I would be hesitant on a monitor due to me beating the hell out of my monitors. I dont turn mine off and both Windows and MacOS from what I seen sometimes dont properly turn on screen savers or go to sleep all the time. So there is a potential that I would have static images up. 

 

So really it comes down to if you may want to change the habits on how you use your monitor. If you can afford to replace the screen when it degrades.

Don't worry about it. It's fine, just have it that monitor turns off if you go away from PC for longer.

What would you get for color accuracy anyways? oled has pure blacks unlike the usual backlit ips/va panel

Yes, but it also has exaggerated contrast, and pure blacks aren't always as necessary, normal blacks can do just fine.

 

No products, graphics design or anything needs that deep of blacks anyways, most of color sensitive work or design doesn't really use black, and if it's does it's intuitive enough that you don't need them to be that deep.

It's actually better to keep using regular ips lcds for colour accurate work as an oled is an exageration of true colour due to the enhanced contrast and also partly due to the pure off black levels.

 

Also keep in mind that prints aren't pure black. Neither are movie screens and such. Natural back levels are preffered to prevent going too deep in the black and creating issues for other screens that cannot reach that level. That and also preventing leaning too much into elevated contrast which can create bad looking film when displayed on a screen that cannot do it or even a lower end oled.It's why oleds are normally not seen for colour grading.

basically they just use worse displays for compatibility sake

 

cant you calibrate these things to be more color accurate or smth?

risks of burnin exist but with modern OLED it is completely overblown.

[spacepickle]

A specific piece of content needs to be on screen for thousands of hours for this to be a risk. If you use your monitor for work and you always have the taskbar open you migh burn in the windows logo after several years, for instance. But then again if you have that open at all times you won't really notice if it's burned in.

I would love the contrast of a OLED, I just don't want to have to worry about butn in or the color layars dieing off. I have a 

Dough Spectrum One 27-Inch Gaming Monitor - 4K HDR, 144Hz Refresh Rate, 1ms Response, IPS Panel, Freesync Premium Pro, USB-C Docking, DisplayPort, HDMI (Eve Spectrum) (Monitor with Stand, Glossy), does anyone know the LG panel it uses, so I can find a rtngs review? Also, does it auto upscale?

[Stahlmann]

You don't need to significantly change your behavior as long as it's not primarily used for work. Just enable a screensaver that activates after 5-10 minutes. I have an OLED that's used as a TV since 2019, and another one that I've been using as a monitor for over 3 years now. Both show no signs of burn-in so far.
