It's incredible, OLED TVs arrived.

Some years ago the displays technology was carried out by PC Monitors, now it seems that TVs are ahead of PC Monitors.

LG is sellings OLED TVs, where is OLED Monitors?

Since OLED still suffers from burn-in problems, it's mainly suitable for tv/phones and similar devices until that problem is solved.

and response times as well as generally latency will matter to be used as a monitor, could also be a reason why, hey there is nothing saying you cannot use a tv as a monitor, many folks do

There has been a 15" OLED from LG for a while, you could use that, resolution is low though.
Smartphones have just as much static content shown on screen as a PC.
Burn in isn't as much of an issue, or we'd notice legions of people crying their galaxy XY whatever has burn-in.

Maybe some chinese or korean producers will put out OLED monitors.

Due to longevity issues (the brightness half life isnt very high), there will be burn in problems.
Wait and see how bad they are if you want to use it for a console or PC.

How hot they get and how long they are used for are crucial too.

For those with deep pockets, Sony has been selling OLED monitors for quite a while now as part of its professional range: http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/cat-monitors/cat-oledmonitors/

EDIT: And go into the product description for any of the monitors in that link. You'll see them described as Sony's "third generation" of OLED monitors (!)

Burn-in isn't an issue for a device that only displays static images a few seconds at a time and then automatically turns the display off. It is nowhere near the amount of static content displayed from a pc.
It does happen even so:

Years ago I saw a Sony monitor or TV at some expo and asked the Sony people about burn in. Was told there is a PC mode which deals with this. Was also told that most people can't see a difference in picture quality with it enabled. Which makes me think that whatever it does is actually noticeable to some.

Surely by now they would have improved this though.

Some years ago a Sony guy mentioned a PC mode. Now years later, you havent got any proof of this mode or know anything about it?
What type of TV was it, LCD, Plasma, CRT, OLED?
Plasmas dither the image to spread the image over more pixels, they also reduced the power so the plasma cells last longer and change brightness less with use.
LCD doesnt have a problem unless the screen gets very hot.

Surely by now they would have improved this though.

Surely by now we should be able to read minds and levitate by thought

OLED is complex tech once you go above 15 inches in screen size. Longevity is the biggest issue. They've just gotten (somewhat) to the point that they are viable for retail. So they will be expensive in the 40+ inch range for probably another year or year and half.

Computer monitors don't see great leaps in tech really at all. It took forever to go from CRT to LCD and even when it arrived CRT's were still vastly better displays. Hell it wasn't until recently that LCD's finally had some technology that made them catch up to CRT's in terms of motion blur.

TV's will continue to see cutting edge tech because in all honesty this sub forum only really represents a minority of users who are concerned with cutting edge PC monitor displays. Most people don't even know what kind of panel they are using and could care even less if they did. Most people simply want it to "work" and leave it in "burn" mode where the contrast/brightness and colors look all fucked up.

Looking at the manuals for the recent Sony OLEDs I don't see a PC mode being mentioned. So I assume it wasn't good enough to make it into any production models. That's unfortunate .
