Open Source Color Management Is Broken

Flanders Scientific, Sony, Dolby in order from cheapest to most expensive. FSi and Sony use the same panels for their 25" models. Sony x300 is the go to right now for affordable HDR. Dolby is the gold standard for non projector color critical work.

For non color critical necessary displays, Eizo is about the best. Lots of" good enough" panels from LG, Acer, and Fell though. I actually have a gaming panel that calibrated surprisingly well and holds those numbers.

The best consumer display by far though are the LG OLED televisions. They're so good that we're installing them in lots of mid level suites as client monitors (aka close enough to our color critical panels).

I don't have any experience with the more expensive panels you listed, but I do have an LG OLED, and I'd be a bit more careful about recommending it for color critical work as a computer monitor.

I've owned it for about a year and the red channel on mine exhibits painfully obvious burn-in patterns.

I don't know why you are being downvoted so hard. Red is a very complicated color on OLED displays and manufacturers admit that frequent calibration is not only necessary but will eventually kill the display after a few years.
