I'm surprised by the lack of larger UHD monitors, very little over 32". I sort of imagined that it would be quite prevalent

2021 will see more 4K monitors with high refresh rates.
The truth is when you start looking at the prices, high-end monitors cost.
Then some of the better TVs will make more sense as a purchase decision for a lot of people.
Although there is another problem, most of the better TVs are not available in under 55"
The 48" LG OLED was a huge hit last year and with picture quality, black levels, and proper HDR that will blow away any £1000+ monitor.
Yet this size is still too big for some people and costs a premium.
For instance the 55" model was actually available cheaper and as an example currently in the UK is £1299 for the C series model.
When you look at what the TV offers in quality/size and additions which a monitor does not have, then when you see what you get for £1200 or more in a monitor. They do have some disadvantages as well (reflective screen) but I think you are going to see more people move to TVs for multi-usage purposes and as a primary monitor.
LG does apparently have a 42" OLED coming but nothing yet on availability or pricing.
Good video.
I like how you can run games in window mode for 21:9 and get an image thats still bigger and better than LGs 38" high-end monitor. You can also set a custom res to do that, however I think custom res limits 60Hz but this may be fixed for 2021 models?
Personally, I am keen to see the
Philips 806 2021 OLED
It features,
FreeSync Premium Pro, has a new anti-burn-in feature and 4 sided Ambilight.
Also has ultra-thin bezel/frame which to me in 2021 is one of the biggest letdowns still with most monitors.
Samsung Infinity Edge which is less than 1mm border is only available it seems on their highend Tvs. Its just annoying by now we cant buy 32" 4k monitors with the quality of a TV and with such small bezels. They would be great for triple screen setups.
