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

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.

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.

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?

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

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