i have one, here are pros and cons that i have identified

1. if you sit about 1m or more away from the monitor, it might be usable in terms of size

2. it has brightness limiters, so if you have a mostly white screen (say a fullscreen diagramming app with a white canvas) the monitor will dim by about 50% so you will need to keep some empty space around your window of the desktop image visible (unless you are in complete dark mode for the app)

3. its a glossy display, so if you have direct light behind it wont work out well

4. 4k at 48 inches, the pixel density is a bit low, and if you do scaling of the ui its quite nice but then you loose the advantages of a large monitor to have more desktop space

5. darkmode + low light is brilliant

6. oled is beautiful (wish i could get it without the gloss though)

7. you will need a good enough gpu to get 120fps at 4k (laptop + egpu or latest macbook pro might work)

8. you will need a hdmi 2.0 cable to get 120fps at 4k

9. there are only hdmi inputs

10. if you want to prevent the timed autodimming (you cannot disable dimming completely (see 1) you will need to get the factory remote to disable it

11. to prevent damage to the oled, it auto shifts the screen output by about 5 to 10 pixels every few minutes in desktop/game mode (so you might notice the mac menubar is slightly cut off, thats normal)

12. the remote is a but wonky but cool... there are no direct shortcuts to brightness controls unfortunately... ---

it will also take while to get used to it.... it took me about 2 weeks to start liking the size... (i sit about 80cm from the monitor, deep desk)

honestly, if you sit close, say 50cm or less, a 32 inch 4k display will be better (like the lg 32 inch 4k displays)

edit: my dream monitor is 8k oled at about 38 inches (not ultrawide) and not glossy... thats a few years off i guess (and also who knows if they would make that size in non-ultrawide..)

Thank you! Detailed and extremely useful!

Yeah, I'm never buying a glossy display again though. You helped me make a decision.

The 48" CX is a TV. It happens to work pretty nicely as a monitor if you have enough space (between you and the display). But in a desktop setting where you are sitting 2 feet from the monitor, you'd have to physically move your head to see all the content. OLED on the desktop means 24", 27", 32" OLED displays.

Yep, completely agreed on the sizes + viewing distance. I've been on the fence but I'll retrain myself from buying it. It seems it has quite a few downsides.

Pros unlimited contrast, cons the TV doesn't age well. Since it's in the name. (Organic)
