Everyone has different order of these 4 aspects.
I have been using a 4k 160hz monitor for 3 year. Still waiting for a 27inch 5k 240hz panel, or a small size 5k 240hz ultrawide.

I may upgrade when someone comes out with a ~40" OLED 4k monitor that is a real monitor and not a TV. Until then...this one suited me the best.
I bet the QD OLED looks fantastic, though.
Now if they just make one of these in QD-OLED at this resolution I'm there. Since I already have a 3440x1440 @144Hz (though VA) it's not worth spending more money just to get the same thing in QD-OLED without further upgrades.

Was an easy call for me to pick up the 38"
38" Pros vs QD OLED:
+20% Larger screen (think 32" vs 27" for standard screens)
+0 Burn in Risk
+Significantly Brighter for full-screen content, better bright room visibility
+No Fan/Noise (some QD OLEDs have active fans which bother some buyers)
+Better Sub-pixel Layout for reading text/productivity work
+Similar DPI, but MORE pixels (3820x1600 vs 3440x1440) fits more content on screen.
38" Cons vs QD OLED:
-Significantly worse HDR performance (can't beat OLED contrast)
-Slower total Response time (although still extremely fast)
-Slower Pixel Response time (more motion blur compared to OLED)
-Worse Viewing Angles
There is definitely a case for the QD OLED, it's not an easy call. I wouldn't write these off as quickly as some people are though. The size alone was reason enough for me to skip over the QD OLED.
I would love to pay hundreds more for a 38" QD OLED @ 3820x1600 or even more for a 42" QD OLED at 5120x2160 or whatever. Those are many many years out, no OLED panels in those sizes are even in the pipeline right now at the display manufactures. This screen will last me the next 5-10 years after which I will grab the larger QD OLED.

I found out that I have to make conscious effort to move my head side to side, up and down to catch the corner of the screen. Plus I was getting nauseated due to the massive size.
Ultimately I decided to go with this monitor for $1200 back the. It was a perfect upgrade from my 34" UW, the additional 4" adds great depth to immersiveness to the game and movies and the size is just right for me. I will try 40-42" if they are available in future, but I think that is pushing it for a monitor.
I did sit in front of an oled for 3 hours straight in my local best buy. The picture quality from OLED was gorgeous, however, I am willing to compromise color in favor of size. I also respect if anyone prefer oled color over the bigger size. Although the 34" oled specs are better, it also made a huge trade off in size. With that said, I think it is a fair choice between the two monitors. My next upgrade would definitely be an OLED UW, 38-42" once it exists for around $1200-1500.
