    A friend of mine picked up an OLED monitor that tells him it needs to be shut off for several minutes every couple of hours…

    No thanks. I’ll take my nice WQHD@120hz true 8-bit color IPS screen.

      Unfortunately, it’s a downside for having a superior display right now.

      I replaced my 34" LG Ultra Wide and 27" LG (both Nano IPS …I want to say the 27 is the 27GL850-B and the 34 is the well…34 UW version of the same monitor)) and my QD-OLED (AW3432DWF) blows them both of the water as far as picture quality goes.

      Having to take a break every 4 hours (when I should be anyways if I am sitting that long lol) isn’t that big of an issue to me. Plus, it doesn’t HAVE to be run at exactly the 4 hour mark, you can tell it to complete the cycle the next time the computer goes to stand-by / idle. It’s just advisable to run it every 4 hours when prompted to mitigate possible burn-in from static elements.
