First of all, I am fully aware that this will NEVER, EVER happen in 2017. LG is far too interested in selling low cost to manufacturer 34 widescreen monitors for a thousand dollars
A set that is ultra wide so they can throw out a bigger diagonal number while providing FAR less screen area for the given diagonal measure. No HDR, just bottom barrel offerings, once again, for the pc monitor market.
But I digress. Consider this a what if. What IF someone, or a team of someones at LG decided to say eff it to the bean counters, and release the following next year:
-40-43" 4k OLED (2017 oled revision)
-120 Hz (with optional 240Hz version for higher cost for 120Hz 4k 3d shown off with Ang Lees new movie)
-adaptive sync range of 30-120Hz
-Sample and hold OR a toggle option to turn that off and switch to a low persistence strobing mode (will probably lead to lower peak brightness but that might be OK in a dark room)
-sub 20ms input lag
-non trash inputs, on top of the already obsolete when released hdmi 2.0, add dp 1.4 and supermhl connectors.
-more advanced burn in countermeasures
-closer to dci-p3 color than 2016 models
-Price... 1-1.5k
/end delusion
Will this happen, of course not, but I have to dream. And one day, in 2025, after vr displays and magic leap style displays have long since surpassed what can be achieved on large screens for a fraction of the cost, then maybe I'll see such a display a decade too late.
