OLED for a PC monitor is not a good idea (currently). Sure, the picture quality is great (save for the low brightness), but the negatives are too steep, and all the babying and hoops you have to jump through to attempt to prevent any of that is too much of a pain in the ass.
Also, this again.
Low brightness? Searing my retinas doesn’t sound enjoyable to me.
I own three OLED TVs, including the first-gen LG, two Master Series Sonys, and an MSI QD-OLED running in 4K with HDR. None have issues, though prior to moving to OLED i had to return two LCD's due to horrible banding (well, one, but it had to be returned twice to finally get a unit that was somewhat acceptable).
There isn’t much to do to babysit the monitor. Set windows task bar to hide itself, screen to go into standby after a few minutes of inactivity, then most other safety features are set and forget.
For me, the risk of burn-in is worth it compared to the 100% guarantee of subpar picture quality.
Tbh, going from a top of the widescreen alienware LCD to a OLED 4K was the biggest step forward i've seen since gl-quake days
