I have impulsively bought a 5090 because, well, I could. This also has me eyeing a monitor upgrade. I'm currently rocking a Samsung G7 1440/240 IPS monitor. It's curved but I don't really care about the curve.

There are a couple of OLED options on the market and I'm wondering if anyone has taken the plunge and, if so, what did you think?

If going 4K I recommended 27" variant if you want no perceivable issues with text while browsing forums all day on top of gaming on it DP 2.1 to tick all boxes otherwise plenty of good 32" options (I'd recommend PG32UCDM and FO32U2P) but if you want Dolby Vision that will reduce your options

If you're happy with 165Hz some good 32" options that are slightly cheaper if you're going brand new.

I would recommend going B Grade/2nd hand for the best deal at 4K if the brand new pricing is a bit too much for you,


As for 1440p 280Hz tandem oled displays may be to your liking if going that route. ( ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQWMG, and Gigabyte MO27Q28G)


If you want best HDR impact get an OLED TV instead, pick your poison there. I don't think HDR is good enough in games to justify focusing on it exclusively as a purchasing decision but that's me.

Definitely going 4k and 27" this time around. 32" is too big for my personal viewing distance. I'd like to stay at 240Hz, too, and not step backwards in terms of refresh rate.

I have seen the UX27 and the PG27 with the only real differences being Dolby and DP 2.1. It's an approx £160 premium for those two features - debating whether it's worth it.

Price is not an issue.
 
32" is simply not an option with my desk and viewing distance. I'll be far too close... Just for clarity, these things are a no-go:

32" or larger
Ultra wide - had it before, don't want it again
Going below 240Hz refresh rate

This thread has given me plenty of things to think about, nonetheless!
