What about OLED's burn-in problem? Computers usually have a lot of GUI elements in the same place for long period of times.
> and most importantly, a glossy display
Glossy displays can be good for prettier colors but can have glare problems from other light sources. This post is about picking a monitor for software development, why would glossy be better than matte for that use?
Got scared by that and moved the taskbar to the side, no burn-in at the bottom though. I guess because that was a darker tone. Also used it at maximum OLED light until I noticed the first burn-in, so it's not like I was nice to it even though I babied it regarding static elements.
Sadly I can't find the "total hours on" setting on this one, seems to be removed from the settings.

Because I want clarity. Why put the perfectly crisp text and other elements through a blur filter??
If previous LG OLEDs are anything to go by, you’re gonna be disappointed using it as a regular computer monitor (gaming would be great though).
The automatic brightness limiting kicks in hard for regular PC usage.
Also even at 42” the PPI is not good enough for text rendering.
And lastly the biggest issue is actual comfort there is almost no way to balance the right distance and scaling to prevent strain on your neck when working with such large monitors.
I wonder how the crazy gamer ones are going to be, like the ASUS PG42UQ [0]. Also how much a premium above the regular LG one. Also would get annoyed by having that UFO on my desk.

I use 2 of them on a daily basis.
I guess I should also have specified in the "not selling my kidney" range considering that the C1 48" go around $1K.
Lenovo Yoga Gen 2 used to have OLED screen, and it was causing huge repairs. On Gen 3 it was removed and they took a long break before introducing it on other products.
Not sure how seriously to take you after that. I want to get work done, not stare at myself or the stuff behind me.
Tried the Odyssey G7 for a while, so blurry with VA and matte panel. Ended up returning it. Temporary solution is my old 2x 1440 IPS 27". They look awful next to my 15 inch 4k laptop but gets the job done for now on the cheap.
Nearly got the C1 48" but it is a bit too big for easy usage. When rumors for the C2 42" started coming I decided to buy it ASAP when it launches this spring.
So annoyed by the monitor market. Phones have awesome screens, TVs have awesome screens, even laptops have awesome screens. Monitors are whatever is the cheapest per unit for large corporations or an ever increasing HZ number for gamers, without even considering pixel transition time or color.... At least there's some blingy LEDs on the back.
