I can't wait to see some specs. Did they say "monitor" or gaming monitor <- that's the important question for me.

OLED is not good for much else.
Why do you think they will be only 60hz? LG OLED tv have been 120hz for a couple years. I do expect the monitors to be stupid expensive cause it is a "gaming/Pro" monitor.

I am assuming because it is a 'pro' monitor. Plus, I don't think this monitor has the same type of oled panel that the LG TV's have.

Or you could wall mount a 48" OLED right now and move your desk back a foot.
Or later this year, wall mount the 42" and move your desk back 6 inches
flatpanelhd says this isn't an LG panel, so it being 60hz is not that unusual. There aren't that many sources for OLED panels, so it may be a JOLED or Sony panel and in that case 60hz and $5-$10K++ pricing is likely.
Not really buyable IMO unless all of those things are wrong.

So it is going to be a low volume stupid expansive monitor like all the other OLED monitors released over the years.
My desk is built into my wall 😂 most circumstances probably not a bad idea.
Of course. OLED will never be suitable for the consumer desktop market unless signifigant advances are made with the technology, or another type of emissive panel supercedes it.

Probably RGB and not RGBW like the TVs.

You're living in the past man. Plenty of people on this forum are already using them as monitors.
Plenty of people using TV's as monitors, yeah. I'll pass. Let me know when they make something under 40".

Has there actually been solid confirmation that the LG is a 60Hz monitor or are we just jumping to conclusions?
We are jumping, but I believe if it was a 120hz panel then they would have put that as a major point in the press release.

It's 72hz, boo you whore! Correction, I think that chart is messed up but looks like 60hz yuck.

In the pr release they specify this was targeted for video editors and has exceptional tonality gradiant. But they also noted other types of oled monitors would be available soon... so my hope is by early 2022 at the very least a good consumer monitor will be released in the sub 30 inch range.
Yeah. I am thinking the same thing. 48 inch is still too big. But i can probably make due with a 42... Too bad they probably wont be out until the end of 2021.

I have the 48inch now. While I really love it , I think 42 would be about prefect for my desk setup. Was using a 40 before my 48.
I have an OLED TV in my living room where it belongs, but thanks.

Pretty sure there's not a law against bring your PC into the living room. Get a wireless KB+M and you're in business
I have an HTPC in there already. You guys seem confused by the fact that not everybody wants a giant TV on their desk.
Finally, someone else on this forum who works on a built-in! I was being to feel like I was losing my mind, probably because this sort of setup doesn’t seem to be one that most people can imagine a sane person having. Still, I’m glad to see that someone gets it.
Though to be frank, I’m thinking about moving my setup into a different room where I’ll be able to get a separate desk and use the 42” OLED.

I'm just wondering why they can't acknowledge that it's mainly used as a monitor and actually make it a monitor (i.e. with a proper stand and has DisplayPort inputs).

Eh HDMI 2.1 is currently superior to DisplayPort for the time being so the lack of it shouldn't really be missed. Would be nice if they started to make use of DP 2.0 though.

HDMI 2.1 might be superior to DisplayPort 1.4 in terms of bandwidth, but DisplayPort (and DP Alt Mode) are much more compatible with interfaces like USB-C/Thunderbolt. I don't think there are any laptops with HDMI 2.1 right now, but there are plenty that can output a DisplayPort HBR3 (1.4) stream via Alt Mode. The adapters needed to go USB-C to DisplayPort are thus much simpler and more reliable than USB-C to HDMI 2.1.

Shouldn't be an issue once the new 2021 laptops start shipping out with the newest GPUs inside.

Plus, the only video cards that have HDMI 2.1 right now are unable to be purchased anywhere at the moment.

How many devices output 2.1 though? Those of us with older hardware would prefer DP support for our aging hardware.
