Gigabyte just launched a OLED monitor. It uses the LG C1 panel, but provides all the options you'd want for use with a computer, gaming or work. Configurations suited for Computer use, USB ports, and even better equipped Speakers. So what you'd need to compromise on in terms of options and "warranty" for PC use come standard with the Gigabyte version.
On the LG TV C1 and CX to stop weird dimming you would enter the backend options and change a setting, which might be seen to void the warranty. You could change it back of course, but there is that risk.
This is a good thing, as it shows a market for OLED panels outside of the TV market. Interestingly the Gigabyte panel I saw on Newegg for $1500 with a $200 coupon. The LG C1 is selling for $1500, but the LG CX (older version but still amazing) is consistently ~$1300.
While this price is still high, keep in mind it is a high end TV panel so really isn't that much considering you can find $5000 options. For a Monitor it is on the expensive side, but technology wise it is far and away better than the majority of PC Monitors, which the better options are $300 - $800.
I'm hoping this trend continues to grow so we start to see the better technologies hit more desk sizes, such as the 27" - 34" size. 48" is still pretty big and needs a specific desk setup to work well.
Monitor advancement has been relatively stagnant for a long time, with very small developments. There are a lot of good options out there but compared to TV technology PC Monitors suck.
