Money perception is personal. It is expensive for a monitor, and i think tvs may have better specs for the price, but aren’t practical at arms distance for me.
Image quality diff is huge, you can compare oled vs ips in mobiles i guess. HDR on top of that is a major improvement. I don’t want to play on a monitor without proper HDR ever again.

That said, prices seem to be dropping quickly. So, you could wait a few years. Also you can look at lower size / lower res / lower refresh rate oleds when they become available. One guy here bought 4k 32 165? for 85k i think and 1440p ones i think have reached 70k

mini led could be considered, esp to avoid burn in risk. It has its own issues, better read up about it. They are brighter though and wont have burn in issues. Cheapest one from acer 1440p 27 i think was around 30k and 4k version is around 40k-50k
yeah. considering the state of gpu markets and contempt they seem to have for anything other than the top model, this is an issue. fsr framegen/lossless scaling? maybe could turn 60 into high refresh rate, but below 60/50 it becomes hard to play. You have to use optimized settings. Also atleast you have 12gb vram which for now is just about enough most of the time, so maybe it wont be that much of an issue.
I just prefer to be few years behind instead. Makes everything easier and anyway i have a big backlog. Currently started on arkham asylum for instance.
btw, some HDR games are done better than others and i do have to tinker a bit via reshade. Ori ones are just beautiful. Doom eternal too.
Initially i did not see much difference (for HDR, oled is clear cut esp in darker/nighttime scenes) but once i started playing Doom eternal, it was night and day. And now i just use reshade/specialk to manage, we are also getting new per game mods via renodx.
There is additionally autohdr and rtx hdr for win 11 ( for games that dont support native HDR or have bad native HDR)
