Nah I just bought a VA panel. IMO high end VA > high end IPS > IPS > VA. OLED is best but suffers burn in still and I'd rather not buy a monitor every 3 years.

To be specific I picked up an Alienware AW3426DWM 34 inch ultrawide. So far I love this monitor but it's over twice as much. This released in July this year I think but I doubt it will be a big seller. VA panels haven't matured much tech wise in a while and R&D/marketing is being spent on OLED. Once they figure out how to eliminate burn in then VA and IPS will be obsolete. Right now though the value proposition isn't there for me considering how long I plan to keep this monitor for productivity. Games look great too. I was able to play some Apex Legends and my didn't notice any smearing but if I was a competitive Counter Strike player I'd probably get a 24 inch 1080 500hz monitor lol. However 99% of people don't have that career ambition. Curved ultrawides tend to be either OLED or VA nowadays and I don't think paying extra for OLED is worth it right now. The Samsung Odyssey line was top tier VA a few years ago but from what I researched recently Samsung has given up on VA tech and is all in on OLED.

I read that burn in basically isn't a thing anymore with pixel shifting, and other options. I'm sure this is reserved for higher end OLED panels, but I don't know. Appreciate your input, thanks. Wink

Burn in is more of a concern on a PC than it is on a TV unless you are watching like CNN or something where a logo is "stuck" int he same place all day. Burn in on a PC is most likely to happen with the task bars and stuff, but yeah with the software tricks, they do a lot better these days. Wouldn't say it's a non issue, just not as much of one. Think 5-6 years to burn in instead of 2-3.

I only have OLED on my laptops, so 5-6 years is going to outlive their useful life for me by a few years minimum, maybe 3-4, but for a desktop monitor a lot of people like to buy high end ones and keep them for a decade+ in which case skip oled even now.
