Akshually, QDOLED is FAR more susceptible to burn in than WOLED... Ask me how I know and why I no longer have one, after selling my 3rd replacement. Rtings burn in tests also confirmed this.

No, YOU are wrong. While it is only VESA certified as DisplayHDR 400 True Black, there is also an HDR 1000 mode which actually hits that mark and after the June firmware update it has accurate EOTF tracking all the way to 1000 nits. Anyone who reads the reviews knows it can do HDR 1000.
As for your spreading the usual FUD about OLED ("ZOMG! Teh burnz-in!"), the 3-year warranty covers burn-in AND QD-OLED isn't as susceptible as WOLED tech. As far as "babying" them as long as you don't go MAX BRIGHTNESS with static elements for days on end, you shouldn't have a problem.
The benefits of infinite contrast and no blurring more than make up for the cost and need to practice basic common sense.

Not that OLED is not good for text. The pixel density is not high enough to produce crisp text. OLED provides excellent pictures quality compared to IPS
I have this since last year and paid around $750 with Amex and CB. Love it. Best monitor I have ever used. One thing I do not like is that monitor stand is HUGE and takes a lot of my desk spaces. I would recommend to use 3rd party mount.
Could you please elaborate on what "baby the screen" means (is it an issue with IPS?), and perhaps give us a quick tl;dr on what the enthusiast forums' consensus is for IPS vs OLED?
TIA!
TLDR, if you often display static images on the screen (spreadsheets, in-game huds, etc), and intend to use the screen at the rated brightness, and expect the screen to stay clean for longer than a couple of years the current OLED tech may not be for you. Current OLED enthusiasts go out of their way to try and preserve the screen by frequently/constantly changing the image on screen one way or another and by reducing the brightness they use the monitor at, sometimes will restrict their use of the screen for media where static images are a non-issues.
IPS screens don't look as good as OLED, but you also don't have that same burn-in threat.

I have the 1440p IPS 34" alienware 120hz. Its amazing and the perfect size for a 6ft desk
Enough room for speakers and peripherals. Im glad I didn't go 49" samsung Odyssey. The 34" screen size allows it to be remotes into from my 4k work computer full size with room around to multitask actual work.

The 34 inch OLEDs are smaller - 34 vs 38 inch, 1440p vs 1600p. It's likely much better for gaming but for office work I was concerned about text clarity and burn in. Try to find a store with display models for both to compare in person.
The OLED has a 3 year burnin guarantee.
I have it and the text claims are overblown as I use it all the time for work and school.

I've had this monitor for 3 years and absolutely love it. While I definitely enjoy gaming on it, I was surprised how much I enjoyed working on it. I can comfortably use 6 windows at a time.
If you are someone who wants to max graphical settings on modern games, I found the 3080 to be just under the amount of power needed. I got a good deal on a used 4080 and found it to be a perfect fit for that. Otherwise 30 series will fit most needs.

If I had to choose again today, I would still choose a 38" IPS over a 34" OLED. Hoping for the day where they come out with a 38" OLED.
