I have OLED screens all over my house - I can never tell if the monitors are on or off unless the screensaver kicks in. 0 regrets spending that money.

By "monitors" you mean TVs? Or did you buy some of the $3-4k monitors that seem to be available?

At a quick google there's nothing under 3k and they're either 21" (too small) or 55" (fine for console gaming but not for programming if you ask me).

According to this youtube video [0], LG's OLED TVs work well as a monitors, at least the 48 inch one. Can't vouch for the quality of that channel though, and it is a sponsored video.

Regarding size for programming, I use a 40 inch monitor and wouldn't mind additional width.

Funny, most programmers complain they don't have enough height. Me included.

Say, are there any 16:10 oleds? :)

Edit: Hmm, one 40" 4k instead of 2x24" 1920x1200. Maybe.

Not that LG has any 40" oleds, the smallest i see (locally) is 55".

I would usually agree with them - but I finally feel like I have just about enough height with my 40 incher. Not that having more would be harmful, but I'm worried that the webcam on top would start to look weird if it was higher.

Here is the 48 inch oled from LG: https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-oled48cxpub-oled-4k-tv
