That way I can be happy with getting OLED and not worry about burn in or subpixel layout / text quality stuff.

42" seems about the right size for the space, I can push it far enough away that with a mouse and keyboard I won't be too close.

Any good recommendations? I see an LG C3 42" for $900 on Facebook, are any of those LG OLEDs going to be good? Not looking for an ultrawide.

Unfortunately I still have enough vertigo symptoms that I can't really play on an ultrawide; too much into my peripheral vision and the motion makes me feel disoriented.

Photon, I really like my Aorus, FV43U. Conventional vs Curved. Haven't console gamed with it though.

Curious what you do end up with!

Hm VA panel but gets pretty good reviews, what's the blooming like? I have a 32" 4K IPS HDR monitor which is quite good but the blooming from the local dimming is pretty distracting, one of the reasons I wanted to try an OLED screen.

I'd be tempted to try but not for a higher price than the OLED ones.
