With so many OLED monitors (TVs) now on the market, does anyone know why computer monitors have been so slow to adopt the technology?
Where are all the OLED gaming monitors?

I recall watching a video about how bad screen burn in for a monitor can still be. The anti-burn measures... burn the screens out earlier if you use them more. Things like start buttons etc are still too static on a monitor where on a TV they have things purposely move around to prevent that etc.
LG will have a 42" OLED TV next year. They also released a 32" OLED this year. However it is meant as a reference display for color grading. It ain't cheap.
As long as you can fit a 2nd display for web browsing, etc. Burn in isn't an issue. I put 3000 hours on my C9 before upgrading to a C1. Zero burn in.

Important to note the panel in the 32" OLED "Pro" Monitor that LG is selling is actually manufactured by JOLED using their printing process. JOLED was formed by Japan Display/Sony/Panasonic quite some time ago.
There are rumours Samsung will be making a 34" QD-OLED monitor for 2022.

Is there a dark mode for excel? I can't imagine having such a bright white is good for the pixel life.
Are you using ColorControl to control the TV via software / keyboard shortcuts?

It actually has a mode where it drops the white level a little too quick for my liking but haven't played with that. With the amount of window switching I'm hoping that should really help.

Where are all the OLED monitors? Why the best displays aren't on the PC
When it comes to display quality, many tech aficionados consider OLED to be the cream of the crop. However, OLED displays tend to be more common in the home theater space than anywhere else. Fortunately, manufacturers like Dell and Samsung offer quite a few laptops with OLED displays. So, if...
