Question Would you buy a OLED TV for a monitor? Which there of these would you prefer?

[MtSeldon]

I have an Asus MG278Q monitor right now. It’s ok. Very fast panel, Free sync is supported but color reproduction is poor. So, I’m looking for a new monitor. I did a little research, some are advising to look TV’s, specially OLED TV’s for this generation.
Min 120 hz and Freesync/Gsync support is must for me. So, I found these three candidates.

1. LG OLED48CXPUB

This one has a OLED panel and said to have the best color productions, specially blacks. But I never used a 48” TV as a monitor. Does anyone has a personal experience with these big panels? Isn’t it too big to put on a desk and use it at a desktop monitor distance (about 70cm)?
OLED’s are great for movies, games but how good are they for text related work? Like for Excel or Visual Studio?
I can see Ultrawide monitors being useful if you put two apps side by side but is 21:9 ratio at this size good for multitasking Office related work?

2. SAMSUNG 43-inch Class QLED Q60T Series
This one was advised as a cheaper alternative. Reviews seems ok but nothing very positive. 43” is more suitable for computer monitor, I think. But as far as I can see, It supports Freesync.

3. LG 38GL950G-B 38-inch Ultragear Nano IPS 1ms Curved Gaming Monitor with 144HZ Refresh Rate and NVIDIA G-SYNC
This is the monitor I’m thinking of buying If I don’t find other usable. But at 1800usd it’s more expensive than an OLED TV, makes me think it’s a reasonable price.

Do you have any experience with any of these? Which one would you go for?

Gah... its too big to sit up close.

Depends on what you mean by close. I have a 42.5" 4k 60hz IPS at my desk for the last ~2-3 years of daily use without issue. It DOES sit a good ~8-12 inches further back than my 27" 1440p panel. But it's not unusably large by any metric I can think of. Depending on the price, availability, and features of the rumored 42" model, It'll likely be my next major purchase.

This is why i didn't go this route.
I guess no OLED or me again, as i am not in hell willing to dish out $4k for 4K@60hz.
I guess i go back looking at the odyssey g9 again.

BTW RIP G13.. i have one, and im trying to milk it as long as i can as logitech will not make a updated one, even tho people have been begging for it in a mechanical version. Instead logitech thinks gamers are all Esports, and only come out with really stupid gear aimed at Esports, even neutering GHub to a very buggy and simplistic version of Logitech Gaming Software.

I find it nice at a 5-6' viewing distance, and it does support 4K at 120hz (in fact that was my main reason for buying it). I use it primarily for games though, and never have desktop windows maximized to the whole screen. For a traditional desk, the 42" or 48" ones would be better.

The G13 is awesome. I use that in almost every FPS-type game. If it ever breaks, I'm getting another one on ebay. They don't seem to be making any modern, mechanical version of it despite many calls for it.
