LG Display Said to Start Producing 27-Inch W-OLED Panels This Month
Due to a slowdown in demand for W-OLED TVs, LG Display is said to be kicking off production of 27-inch W-OLED panels later this month, assuming everything goes to plan. This is admittedly based on rumours from Chinese site WeiXin QQ, so it should be taken with some caution. The site claims that the news comes via the Korean media, but we haven't managed to find a Korean source that could corroborate such a claim. The report is quite thin on details, so it's unknown what resolution these 27-inch panels will offer. Apparently 32-inch panels are also an option, as well as 40-inch panels for TVs.
The first customer for the 27-inch panels is unsurprisingly said to be LG Electronics, who is expected to launch a 27-inch gaming monitor based on the W-OLED panel sometime in early 2023. In related news, LG Display is betting on an improvement in the OLED TV market space in 2023, with the company said to be planning to manufacture no less than 9.2 million large sized OLED panels next year. Samsung is also said to be considering using LG Display's W-OLED panels in some of its products next year, but this has been a long time rumour that has not come to fruition so far.

That "awe-inspiring" moment is super short when reality hits! e.g. awful coating, etc.
Finally a simple 27-32" 16:9 or 16:10 inch 120+Hz OLED screen. I think something around 850$ can be achieved if the current, big, freesync Alienware WD-OLED is 1000$
I'm surprised it took that much time for them to realize it's something to launch in place of those curved screens, are they really selling a lot of them ?
Ultrawides do sell well, but they are a premium screen. 27 4k 144hz monitors haven't been selling as well and can cost even more than an ultrawide. LGs own 27 LED 4k 144hz HDR monitor sells for 899 MSRP, so you can bet the OLED will be more. Other LEDs 27 4k 144hz options can cost well over a grand. These are the sort of options where "if you have to ask and cannot afford a 4090 it's not for you".

Not that hard right?
The options for 32” monitors and up are way to limited!
I thought maybe the above was too complicated, so I came up with an easier method in my previous post.
For Korean stuff, I normally check this site, as they cover Korean tech news in English and are normally on the ball when it comes to things like this, but there's no mention of it.

Regardless. this is a rumour and should be taken as such.
And wtf is W-OLED, time for google.

The alienware ultra wide, without Gsync ultimate will officially cost 1000-1100$ (november it releases I think)
I am definitely willing to invest 800-1000$ in a good monitor, something I use a lot from Work from home to gaming, but for now I stay on my 300$ 1440p with poor constrast and light bleed until viable mini-led (with a lot of local dimming zones) or oled are there. I just want more "classic" options than the ultra wides.
Can't you cut four 27" 16:9 1080p panels from a 55" 4K one?
I sure would love a relatively cheap (≤$299) 1080p OLED 120/144Hz gaming monitor!
I have waited years for this. I may say fuck it and do it. Screw the eye issue that PWM flicker causes me!
