The cheapest of the three QD-OLEDs announced is the HyperX Omen OLED 27q, a 27-inch 1440p model with a 240Hz refresh rate and variable refresh rate with Nvidia G-Sync compatibility, plus AMD FreeSync Premium. It has a DisplayPort 1.4 input, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and a headphone jack. It'll ship with an adjustable stand (supporting height, tilt, swivel, and pivot tweaks), though it has a 100 x 100mm VESA mount for folks who'd prefer to use a monitor arm.
New OLED gaming monitors from top companies coming out this year should look clearer and crisper. LG Display and Samsung Display, which typically provide the actual panels used in gaming monitors, are finally lining up the colors of their subpixels in vertical RGB stripes - remember when we used to worry about Pentile OLED displays? - which means, among other improvements, the panels should have easier-to-read text.

The 49-inch curved display has 5120×1440 resolution which provides the equivalent of two 27-inch QHD monitors side-by-side without bezel interruption. That 32:9 aspect ratio dramatically reimagines the experience of games. Racing simulations wrap around your peripheral vision with opponents on each side of you simultaneously. First-person shooters give you situational awareness that is cheating-like, with flanking enemies in sight earlier than players in ordinary displays.
Or at least it might be if you're happy to sign up for a Samsung account. Turn on the M90SF, and softly inoffensive music fills the air while a QR code appears on screen. Point your phone at it, and you're sent to create a new account or log into your existing Samsung SmartThings account. You can use the M90SF as a computer monitor without signing in, but if you want access to the smart TV functions and streaming services, you'll have to hand over your details.
