I'm eyeing these monitors to figure out what I want to upgrade to in the near future. I love my OLED TV and I'd like that same kind of quality in games, but I would like to not have to worry about burn in at all (which is much less of an issue with the way I use my TV)

I had thought about using the OLED monitor just for games, but I can't exactly justify dropping £1k on something I'm only using for games lol

Normally I like buying things second hand as well. That way I can buy second-hand, sell my things to make up for the cost, too. With OLED, second-hand feels risky, due to burn-in again.
yep, I wouldn't want to buy an OLED display second hand without a visual inspection or an iron-clad return policy. However I feel like there is quite a bit of value in OLED TVs to be had out there these days because OLEDs have been around for a while, people might be upgrading and others feel just as apprehensive about used displays. So if you have the time and opportunity to pick one up personally, it might be a great deal
Yup, you're right, I've had OLED TVs in my sight for quite a while. They seem to be ridiculously cheap compared to OLED monitors. Seems like you could get a lot of bang for your buck there. And cheaper OLEDs also mitigate for the burn-in issue somewhat, as you could just buy a new one if it ever becomes unbearable. How have you found things like text rendering to work on the OLED TV?
