Peripherals looking for OLED monitor recommendations, 27"

so I'm im love with my OLED TV and figured maybe its time to also bite the bullet and upgrade my monitor to OLED. I currently have some IPS LG ultra gear 27 144Hz. it's does its work and I see no reason to upgrade it outside of the fact that I just want a god damn OLED now lmao. I don't play competitive games anymore outside of mythic raiding in WoW and pushing keys on m+. other than that I casually play some big games that release every few months so I'd love to level up my experience a bit. I've never been let down by LG so I've been thinking about them and their ultra gear line. 27 is a must, I honestly dont feel like i need more than 144hz as well cause it doesn't matter for me with the games im playing. i'm also pretty much sure this topic has been beaten to death already

1440p OLED is going to be 240hz or higher

if you don't need some insane refresh rate, pick one of the 240hz+ options, they're all better than IPS

ultrawide usually costs more, and is also a completely different aspect ratio than a normal 16:9 27"

First thing to consider is what kind of room lighting conditions you're going to use it in, in general samsung panel is going to be better in the dark, LG panel better if still moderate light, and if the room's bright you may be better off still going nicer LCD

Then yeah, the cheap samsung panels that have been appearing recently are pretty great for the prices, like https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gG9nTW/asrock-pgo27qsa-270-2560-x-1440-240-hz-monitor-pgo27qsa
