Are miniLED monitors any good? Are they better balanced between work and gaming?

"MiniLEDs" are just LCDs with far higher dimming zone number backlight than in edge illuminated scams making local dimming actually usefull.

So they have the strengths of LCDs:
No burn in (/really burn out) issues of OLEDs and high brightness with high endurance and efficiency of inorganic LEDs.

Downside is that it's still same old LCD with "challenges" in viewing angles, reponse times and limited true pixel level contrast...
And blooming around small high contrast details, because illumination isn't pixel perfectly controlled.
Increasing zone count can decrease blooming, but at the same time backlight and its control system becomes more and more complex and expensive.
 
Looking good for the 27” 4k OLEDs!

That's one thing I found that I didn't like about mini-LED panels was the 'bloomng' effect when reading light text on a dark colour background.

It's something I regularly do as often use dark mode or a lighter text on a darker background when coding/scripting as I find it clearer than black on white text.

OLED monitors with 5 year warranty and no issue of burn in ever!

I wish!

I think we're definitely getting to the point where burn-in shouldn't be such a fear factor, especially with all of the care features that panel providers are including now.

You see people talking regularly now about 15k + hours on an LG C2 being used as a monitor with taskbar, icons etc. with no sign of burn in. It's inevitable - but the longer it takes to happen the more it should become less of a thought when purchasing an OLED monitor.

I know LG have said they've got a more standard 'RGB' pixel layout panel coming this year, that's my wishlist item (although not likely to upgrade now at this point for a few years).
 
I'm in the market for a new TV next year so hope we see 75"+ 8K QD-OLED panels from Samsung with good upscaling tech

That sounds genuinely spectacular! I was intending going for a 27" 4K OLED but could be tempted by that at the right price.

I quite like the ultrawide format but was contemplatng giving up on it as I want a display capable of displaying 4K content/sources natively and all the current crop are 1440p.

Yeah this would become a priority upgrade for me over a GPU.

all these 4k high refresh rate monitors and the ports still being DP 1.4... Hows about some modern cable ports please

From the LG link above:

This monitor also comes with Dual-Mode functionality and supports DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 90W power delivery.

I’m not sure if that’s ’full fat’ DP 2.1 but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t.
