Great deal price-wise, but the reviews so far make me hesitant. Personally I'm waiting for the stars to align again on the Alienware OLED curved monitor so I can get it for a similar price.
This or a 4k 144 hz nonOLED? I have a 4080 but can't decide which one to go with
For purely gaming (not working with lots of text) I would get a 1440p OLED over any LCD. 1440p is still the sweet spot, even 4090 can struggle with 4k (depending on the game and settings).
After switching to OLED, I wont go back. It was a massive leap in gaming enjoyment for me.
According to Sony and their 2024 flagship TV the Bravia 9, Micro LED with an increased density and control of the backlight is the future until the next display technologies (PHOLED, QDEL, etc) hit the market.

Yeah really depends on how u gonna use it? Mostly movies and games in dark room OLED will be superior but if you also want to do coding office work on it or use in bright room LCD is still superior.
AI opinion: "Customers like the monitor's smoothness, saying it has lightning-fast responsiveness. They also appreciate the refresh rate and HDR works great. However, some customers dislike brightness. Opinions are mixed on color, remote functionality, value, quality, picture quality, and ease of use."
So like I said biggest issue is brightness vs LCD as it has been for years and will be for years to come since OLED technology just doesn't allow it to get as bright.
Also why Sony and pros going and using LCD since only tech at moment that can hit the 4K nits brightness some movies can do.
This why you seeing big price drops on OLED lately cuz people realizing OLED not as mind blowing upgrade as promised not to mention the burn-in and longevity issues with OLED due to organic nature of technology.

Bravia 9 is only mini-LED, which is straight up nothing new, just a newish label slapped on an incrementally improving technology that's been out for years now.
mini-LED is just (ideally) thousand+ of direct LED "backlight zones", with how many being completely variable to whatever a given manufacturer wants to call mini-LED. It's just a new marketing term for high number of backlight zones. It's not per-pixel. Micro-LED is per-pixel, and would be revolutionary... if you could buy anything with it for anything like OLED prices. "Mini-LED" screens keep improving with better methods of QC to keep the backlight even and better algorithms to try to avoid bloom and reverse bloom, is great for movies, but it's not comparable to OLED or micro-LED fully for monitor style usage that goes beyond just pictures and video like a TV is more often simply used for.
Nothing on the monitor market is micro-LED. I don't even think there have been any "actual" consumer micro-LED TVs released (other than Samsung's 110 inch $150,000 thing, if you can really term that a regular consumer item). It keeps getting talked up during things like CES and then not showing up in any actual product lineups again each year (or only at absurd prices in ultra niche products).

Personally I really prefer coding on OLED.
Nothing beats actual pure black background, compared to blacklight bleed (even VA has some), for really nice contrasty text, and being able to overall reduce how much light is getting shined in your face all day by your monitors by not NEEDING your monitor to be so bright to still see everything clearly.
I mean, if you're one of those people who code in light mode on a white background I guess I can see where it's all kind of the same?

Yeah, YMMV but max brightness is a non-issue for me. I game in darkened room, even watch TV in darken room most of the time either on my plasma TV or projector. During the day for work (coding) I don't need my brightness cranked up, too much brightness bothers me, I look at minimum brightness when buying monitors. I've had IPS LCD that couldn't go low enough in brightness and got rid of that after trying for many months to get used to it.
I don't have an OLED monitor or TV (just portable devices - iPhone and Nintendo Switch), but have experienced OLED TVs and monitors, and it is the way to go for gaming. Burn-in is a non-issue for gaming / TV / movies, but I'd have concerns for work or general use.
