Consumers?
nah - I'd suggest asking engineers what engineers want, consumer what consumers want & enthusiasts what enthusiasts want
Id go with engineers over people that eat monitors.

Are you having some kind of episode?
Me or Daniel? But how would I tell?
We have an LG account manager asking people what they want from monitors. Selling monitors based on marketing instead of technological merit seems the wrong way around to me.

Asking out of "idle curiosity" isn't the same as conducting market research that will be acted upon.
But if enough people do not, they will make a loss. It does not work the way you think it does.
So you would rather have the monitor engineers or whoever keep milking the monitor market even more?
For years now all we have got has been refresh rate and resolution improvements, panel quality itself hasn't improved much, QC has taken a nose dive, pointless/gimmicky features are added and the prices are insane for the "high" end market.... But yes let those same people continue to decide what we want, meanwhile the TV display market will leave monitors even further behind in the dust...
The fact that more and more people are buying TVs to use as their monitors nowadays says it all.

I think what jigger is suggesting is called "push". In this tactic the manufacturer supplies the market with their own vision of a good product and its accompanying technologies. This usually doesn't work when there are more manufacturers in the market, who can and are willing to provide something that is slightly worse, but way less expensive. Like is with technology in many industries, the "theoretically better" doesn't always win. If you can offer something that's "good enough", but for a fraction of the price of the competing offer, then it will have a higher chance to succeed.
So it's usually more beneficial to practice the "pull" tactic, meaning playing by the customers' needs. This doesn't mean only the technological needs, but the whole package. And one of the most critical factors of this package is the price.
As for CRT (and plasma, while we're at it):
I think the EU energy regulations nowadays even forbid CRT and plasma production and import, with the potential exception of mission-critical safety devices (hospital gear, diagnostics, etc.). Same as they did with regular light bulbs. Not sure how Brexit affects all of this, as I'm not sure if it was an EU, ETA, or some generic trade agreement.

I would be happier with Freesync 2 instead of G-Sync, though not a deal breaker by any means.
I think the above with proper HDR will end up being my monitor in 2-3 years time. In the meantime I will get another monitor this year. But sadly LG does not have much to offer for me. Some decent 4K monitors with freesycn they have, but they do not have lfc and on top have heavy matte coating
Assumed HDR with OLED tbh, but added it as a separate point.
As for coating, I don't really mind. I've used heavy AG, gloss and glass. They all have their positives and negatives. I suppose i would favour a light AG coating.

Have you used a curved monitor? I honestly can't think of any reason why you would be against it. It's just a fantastic experience. Do you not sit in front of your monitor?
