Are manufacturers stuck in a questionable spec war, or are we one day going to wonder how we ever put up with ‘only’ 240Hz displays?

All I want is a 27/28 inch oled 4k monitor with good hdr. I don't care about the refresh rate as long a it's 60Hz+

I'm sticking out with IPS until MicroLED matures enough for me to afford.

OLED was never designed to be used as a computer monitor and I don't want a monitor that only lasts a couple years.

Researchers just designed a special two layer (thicker than current OLED) that doubles the lifespan to 10,000hours at 50% brightness without degrading.

I'm totally with you on good HDR though. When it works, it's as night -and-day as 60 -> 144hz felt for me.

Burn in is a non-issue for regular all-day use. As long as you aren't displaying a static image at 100% for literally years and actively stopping the screen from running preventative measures, you'll be fine.

Can desktop computers do those preventative measures? I haven't seen any desktop interface for the mitigations Samsung puts on it's phones.

Desktops also display static images 100% of the time, unless you change your usage behavior to use full screen all the time.
