Probably not a lot of people have $4k to drop on a monitor. Congrats.

I just drooled a little.
Ok, I just drooled a lot. Great looking monitor.

Probably not a lot of people have $4k to drop on a monitor. Congrats. ...Or the GPU horsepower to drive it at greater-than-powerpoint FPS. Still, a 4k projector is how I'd go; can choose your screen size to fit the situation OP, how does it do as a general entertainment monitor? Hows the view-ability off center? Does the curve become distracting?

Does the curve become distracting? A projector really isn't in the same league as the picture quality of an OLED display. That's not to mention all of the other pitfalls of projectors. I really only use it for games/simulators so I can only comment on that. It's amazing. Viewing angles of OLED is among the highest of any display type ever designed. Simply amazing. I went with this OLED display implicitly because of the curve. Great immersion for flight sims just like multi-million dollar military simulators that used curved displays.

Vega,
I'm not looking into a 55" monitor, but there are a few 34" gaming monitors (Acer and Asus) coming onto the market in the next few months that I'm definitely interested in.
Is the curve more than a gimmick for the 34"? Why did you decide to go 55"? Was it just a question of mo' bigger, mo' better?
Anyway, that 55" looks amazing! congrats!

Hey Vega,
Thanks for posting. That comparison shot between the two really is something to chew on! Sadly, I can't justify a 55-inch.

I've been reading up on OLED technology.
The fact that they have no motion blur is actually much more interesting to me than the absence of IPS glow and the depth of the black. I was planning on buying either an Asus Swift or an Acer Predator monitor precisely because of their response times but as it's a long-term plan (young children + busy career = not much time for gaming for next couple of years) I think I'll wait for prices to come down and smaller screen sizes to be released.
Thanks Vega!

OLED in it's current 60 Hz sample-and-hold packaging does have motion blur. The pixels are extremely fast, so it doesn't have ghosting/blur but all sample-and-hold displays will have "eye tracking" based motion blur unfortunately. http://www.blurbusters.com/faq/oled-motion-blur/Once someone releases a strobing/pulsing OLED display it will be the holy grail.

That's disappointing. Thanks for clarifying though. That's a good and clear explanation on the blurbusters website. Hopefully in the next 2 years we'll see this issue get resolved and screens with strobing or higher refresh rates come out. It doesn't seem like a huge technical obstacle since there are already monitors up to 144Hz and beyond (though I don't know how high the technical limits affecting OLED as opposed to TN and IPS), and incorporating strobing is not difficult (though it does result in less bright colours, generally)... I'm guessing that since the engineers were designing for TV rather than gaming the "sample and hold" was considered adequate.
