I am looking for an OLED display that fits Mac's aluminium design, but I still have no luck.

Just yesterday, I saw this 16- inch portable display mentioned in another HN thread.

I don't think it's OLED. But I thought it was an interesting design that might fit in with an Apple display collection.

These also aren't OLED but are clearly trying to make you feel a way: https://kuycon.us/monitors

I mean for that kinda money you can have someone vinyl wrap a monitor case to match

This is an older article: Published 1 April 2022.

Not about the new Apple Displays.

To be fair, the new Apple displays use the same panel so much of this still applies.

The price however, isn't indicative of a 2022 product...

Which monitor is recommended for work + gaming these days? Been on the fence for a new one but couldn't find any that is within my price range.

The requirement I have is that it has to be 120Hz, probably OLED and it must have built in speakers.

Any recommendations?

Not a recommendation as such, but I recently purchased this for one of kids gaming monitors:

> ASUS XG27UCDMG ROG Strix 27" 4K QD-OLED 240Hz G-SYNC Gaming

> https://rog.asus.com/au/monitors/27-to-31-5-inches/rog-strix...

Doesn’t have built in speakers, and can’t comment on what it’s like for work.

However it does look absolutely amazing!

Jaw dropping gorgeous. The colours are just so rich. I was genuinely not expecting to as impressed by it as I was!

My work monitor is a 4K 27" from LG in 2015. I run it at 2x density, so everything's a bit larger than it would be on an Apple, but it's not as bad as this article's graphs would lead to to believe. I'd certainly rather have it than a less dense display.
