        I prefer AMOLED due to the perfect blacks, but burn-in and color banding on this display tech is still a problem.

They are simply not popular or reasonably priced because nobody gets good yields on monitor-sized OLED panels. The large OLED panels go where the money is - TV first. Monitors will come later, and as with everything that OLED came to, they will completely phase out current high end monitors.

            It's already starting. The Dell 30 UltraSharp is the first modern OLED monitor, and it's the one to have if you're a designer.

"Oversaturation" and color inaccuracy are not inherent issues of any screen technology; but issues of manufacturers color calibration techniques. And by the way, the reason there are more color accurate LCD's out there is because once you go beyond the 10" screen range OLED displays are far more expensive to create than LCD's. Thus, less manufacturers use OLED panels altogether. The reason there are "more" color accurate LCD displays is because there are MORE LCD displays as a whole, especially for larger screens. The idea that OLED displays are inaccurate because of "oversaturation" is ridiculous. The only reason that a screen might be oversaturated would be because of poor calibration. An improperly calibrated OLED display will probably look oversaturated because of OLED displays stunning absolute blacks and (generally) wider color gamut.

                      Your argument against OLED displays due to "oversaturation" is simply a criticism of manufacturers ability to properly calibrate screens, and if anything, is a compliment toward AMOLED display technology and its ability to create a wider range of colors and absolute blacks.

                        They both can have near perfect color accuracy.
                        The difference is with the high contrast, wider color gama, blacks, superior angels and reflectance.
                        Amoled for those reasons is technically superior accuracy.

                          Vewing angels are amazing on amoled. Can be on lcd too.
                          But usually better on amoled. As well as with contrast, colors, blacks, and power efficiency.

                          And the bigger displays get the more apparent these advantages get. Up from 4 to 6 inches makes a differences.
                          Then from 12 to 20 even more so. Then on a large TV scale the differences are just amazing

Most accurate monitors in the world are LCD LoL. AMOLED used in mobile has its advantages mostly in power efficiency because its a mobile device where power efficiency should be one of the most important thing.

                                I can't believe the amount of ignorance in this comments section, really. Please, use OLED first, then come back, and you will be talking very different things and I guarantee, (unless you keep your mind closed) you will not be able to go back to LCD.

                                    The problem is its will drink battery like crazy,

                                    Amoled colors change over time and its has danger of burn-in eventually.

                                    So i go with quantum dot ( Real one not the fake one samsung try to sell as tv ) its will have best of both world.
