Where on earth (if anywhere) could I fit a 55” or larger OLED TV?

“Best” two options I’ve thought of are replacing the right most monitor and moving the UW more to the left, with the assumption I move my seat back when I want to use the TV. The second is against the wall of my bed, since I technically don’t have to move or anything for it, with the caveat that there would be a large tv right next to where I sleep. I’m willing to shift the layout of the room but I think I’m cooked at this rate.

To 39GX950B owners, how are yall liking it?

What are some pros and cons after spending a bit of time with it? How’s the media watching, gaming, and general use experience?

It seems like a monitor catered only to those who have the highest end systems so not sure how many will have this but curious nonetheless.

Agonizing on whether to get a LG 39GX950B or the XG32UCWMG

I’ve narrowed it down to these two monitors. I play both single and multiplayer games about evenly. I currently own a 38’ LG IPS so at first glance the 39’ seems like the natural upgrade, but of course it peaks at 165hz. This would be my first time owning an OLED but I’ve also heard endless praise for glossy Woleds as well. I’ve considered the C5 42’ as my main monitor but it seems like a poor fit for everyday desktop use and it wouldn’t be using the most of my 5090. I have a side monitor so if I were to get the 32’ I’d probably put it in place of there and keep the ultrawide for general use.

Of course the 39GX950B is also absurdly expensive for a monitor, so despite having a 5090 I still weigh that a bit. I’ll wait to see if the price drops again on Memorial day.

Having said all that, for those who’ve had the chance to use these or are informed enough what do you recommend?

Best OLED for my circumstances (pics in comments)

Recently took the plunge (bullet) and got a top of the line 5090 pc with a Ryzen 9800X3D and 64gb ram. Now I’m looking for a killer monitor (or maybe tv) to match. I’ve never tried OLED before so I’m very enthusiastic to hop on the train.

Currently I have a 38GL950G ultrawide as my main monitor and an OMEN by HP 27 1440p side monitor. The most unfortunate part of this transition will be not being allowed to just leave my monitors on at all times as I do work or have a bunch of tabs open.

The two monitors I’ve most had my eye on are the PG32UCDM 4K 240Hz and the 45GX950A-B 5K 2K. From the bit I’ve perused it seems the ASUS 32” is about as good a monitor as I can get for what I have, and the 5K 2K is an obvious upgrade from what I already have.

Ideally I’d like to still keep one of my monitors (preferably the ultrawide for screen space ofc) but get a new one for gaming/movie watching. I haven’t looked into too many other options yet like a LG C series tv but given my current set up and soon to be pc, it seems both impractical and a waste of the 5090.

So now I ask what do you recommend based on my set up? Should I swap the OMEN with a 4k 240Hz, squeeze a 3rd monitor in somehow, etc.

Lastly what are some tips for someone who has zero awareness of screen health when getting into OLED?

Is there a way to set up notifications for new open box deals for specific products?

Basically title. Second, if not, is there a way to set up auto notifications for open box deals in general for store locations? Ik someone created a website for that a while back but it doesn’t seem to work anymore.

I’m looking to get a 5070 ti pc soon and everywhere I look I see Microcenter’s pcs being praised as the cheapest product to pre built value while maintaining reliable quality. Is there anywhere else I should look that might have similar quality for cheaper prices? Also are refurbished pcs worth looking into? I was doing some window shopping and saw a 5090 computer go for over 1000 usd cheaper than a PowerSpec 5090.

I was just eyeing a PowerSpec G457 pc yesterday and now it’s suddenly 100 usd more. I’m less inclined to buy it now that I know it can go cheaper, how long do you expect I’d have to wait to see that price return again? Is the sale going to continue to get steadily worse or is it completely random?

Edit: The base price stayed the same I’m just referring to how much it’s on sale for.

Also side question how big of a jump would this be from my current pc? Would I actually feel a difference? Here's the pc specs from what I know.
GPU: 2080 Ti
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900KF CPU @ 3.60GHz
Memory: 32GM RAM DDR4
1 TB of storage
Motherboard: Z390 Aorus
PSU: XPG Core Reactor 850 Gold
No built in bluetooth and older features like WiFi I imagine since it's around 6-7 years old.
