That's a weird thing to say unless the pixel density is your one and only measure. Regardless of that, the posterization should be perfectly visible on a 2012 FullHD monitor, or even a 1366x768 TN screen of a decade-old laptop. Most commenters here are probably viewing the pictures on a scale different from 1:1.

Is it though? We now have OLED TVs and OLED smartphones.

Where's our OLED PC monitors?

On every measure, if you care about colors/contrast/black+white levels/resolution/density, the average computer monitor has fallen far behind.

You can't even buy a smartphone that has a panel half as bad as most PC monitors on the market. And, at least in my area, you'd actually have to go to a lot of effort to find a non-4k TV.

Mainly targeted towards the gaming market at the moment.

some of those prices are insane. Why are they so much more expensive that OLED TV's of similar size? Frame rate?

I dunno about TV much since I don't use them, but I have some ideas why it might be:

- Framerate - Response time - Adaptive sync - (how prone to burn-in is OLED? Monitors often have way more static images to TVs)

I assume combing these all might just make it more expensive than just individually each feature

The much more complicated electronics plus Supply & Demand. Demand for TVs should be way higher then for high end monitors.

They've been around for years.

PC monitors have been improving constantly with high refresh rates, local dimming HDR + 10 bit color, adaptive sync, OLED and more.

Only on the unusual high-end gaming monitors.

OLED is overwhelmingly reserved to high-end TVs and phones as well, so I think that point is moot.

My base iPhone 12 mini from years ago has OLED, so do a lot of cheaper Android phones. Gaming displays are far less common than these.

Phones have a smaller display which makes them easier to manufacter.

Yeah, that also supports how the iPads don't have OLED yet.
