Upgraded to an LG CX48 recently. The current king of gaming displays in my opinion. Once you game on OLED, there's no going back. It doesn't get any better than this currently...
 

Any word on the likelihood of burn in.

Zero burn-in issues. I take all the precautions needed to not have to worry about burn in. All desk top icons removed, task bar hidden, running full screen mode when web browsing, only full motion wall papers or solid color desk top, etc.
Plus these newer LG OLED's have a lot of built in software to completely minimize any burn-in potential. It's an amazing display.

Burn in is a weird thing to be worrying about again for me. It's been years since it was a concern. That said, 5 year extended warranties covering burn-in were a must for me. 
 
Can't wait for Monday when my cable arrives. Stuck on an 18GBps cable, so the best I can do atm is 4k60 w/o VRR or 1080p100Hz. Still, the CX looks amazing even without gsync running (it says gsync is enabled.. but it's def not working).
 

Thanks for the feedback - we pulled the trigger on a 65 inch LG OLED just before black friday only to find out afterwards that the order had been canceled - now the argument is on size of the OLED for out living room size.  With a 48 inch, it's an easy sell (replace our other tv if it's too big for a computer monitor for my desk)

I made a tough choice and ditched my 27" 1440p 144hz monitor earlier this year and went with a 48" CX OLED.  It's amazing!

48" is what I replaced and it was a good size. 55" is large, almost too large for my modified setup. 65" would be fine if I was using the tv from the other side of the room. Best bet is to measure viewing distance and pick from that. Next year the 55" will be the baseline anyway. 
 

I plan on going with the eve Spectrum 4k 144hz IPS, once it ships out in feb-march 2021. Can't link their web page otherwise I would, but they're basically a crowd-funded site with some really good products.

I seriously doubt burn-in is an issue in this day and age. I never even thought about it with my aging 24" 3D Asus VG278 monitor. Looking now I cannot see any burn in. My brother was a TV technician, he said the only burn in you used to get was in CRT monitors.

While burn-in is not an issue for LCD displays (which is what most people have these days), it is a very well-known issue for OLED displays.  It's not as bad as it used to be, and like the above poster mentioned, there are ways to mitigate it, but it does still happen.  Incidentally, this is one of the big advantages that micro-LED has over OLED, but it will be a few years before there are viable and affordable micro-LED options on the market.

Thanks for your input on that - I am familiar with micro-led, just have to decide what to do in the meantime

I am using the 3440x1440  Acer Predator X34P and plan on still using this when my EVGA card arrives. Hopefully can hit the 120hz with good GPU temps upgrading from 1080ti, as the GPU runs really warm and struggles to hold gsync to 120fps with my current setup

How do you get G-SYNC to work with this monitor? Amazon reviews show display settings options not listing this as (G-SYNC compatible) when setting the resolution

Gsync is set via the Nvidia controjl panel. The TV requires you to setup the HDMI stuff on the tv config side as well. Mine's been working fine for a month now. 
Also, I think some people aren't using 48GBps cables, and likely aren't selecting the PC res in the NCP which allows 4k120 via PC and are selecting UltraHD, HD, SD which only shows 4k60. Need to turn on Instant Game Response and HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color on the additional settings menu in picture, on the tv, after editing source to "pc". 

Wall mounting the LG OLED 48” after work tonight!
For some games I plan to run custom rezs to simulate ultrawide resolutions.

Alienware 3420DW for gaming and a Samsung U28D590 4K for work. 

Christ, I have a really old 60hz 1080p monitor but I can't replace it if it still works. Electronic ethics.

That's easily solved.

..and you can get a new keyboard while you're at it. Bonus!

Something something Bastiat, something something broken window fallacy... Aww heck whatever, pass me the keyboard!

I got an LG 32GK650f. Coming from a 29" 60Hz dell 2560x1080, I tried a 27" 1440p dell (TN Panel - horrible for desktop stuff) and it was WAY too small. The 32" is perfect at 1440p, and the monitor performs nicely. Definitley not as fast as the 27" dell and there is very tiny amounts of ghosting on the fast profile, but not bad enough to find another option. Also, I got it for $279 on black friday, so there's that. The Dell S2719DGF was terrible and flickered all the time. The TN panel was definitley faster and probably the best TN panel on the market, but it was absolute junk as far as viewing angles (which I think is overrated given nobody views their monitor from 180 degrees to the side). What I mean was I would have to move my head to view texts all over the monitor or they were blurry unless I was in front of them. Not something usually covered in reviews of those monitors. I did not enjoy the uneven lighting either. It was okay in gaming, but coming from the IPS 2560x1080 I was not happy. This LG is VA, and I was skeptical at first, but have no complaints now. Everything is uniform, colors are great and not oversaturated right out of the box, small tweakings is all it took for something I can deal with for years to come.

Personally, I think a lot of monitors are being produced right now at the "affordable" price range, and there is little known about them. People are reviewing stuff that will be bought up and then never maintained again. It's cheaper for companies like Gigabyte to produce one version, realize a problem, and make a new version. Thus making that monitor you have that got great reviews in the first three months of it's release almost a waste of money. I prefer something reliable and that has some years on the market with people still praising it and updating reviews as well. As far as "affordable" goes, I still think $3-400 is borderline expensive. I could not justify spending $600+ on a monitor even if I had the funds for it. I do think it's pretty much the most important part of the build, which was largely overlooked years ago, as people bought ultrawides and 4k's to run on 1060's then complained about games not being "optimized", but it's just too much. I can run a 1440p for 90% of games at a mizture of highs and ultra's on a 6 series card now, and that's how it should be. Paying $4k for a computer is just not worth the investment in the long run.
