Dell Unveils a 30-inch Ultra HD Monitor with an OLED Panel
The star attraction at Dell's CES booth was undoubtedly its stunning new 30-inch monitor, the Ultrasharp 30. Featuring an OLED (organic light-emitting diode) panel, which offers the darkest blacks, and the brightest whites to get you contrast no LCD panel can ever come close to; this monitor also puts out Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) resolution. Dell is asking US $5,000 for the Ultrasharp 30, which is reasonable, if you consider a similar spec'ed display from Sony going for $18,000. Dell plans to release the Ultrasharp 30 to the market by March 31, 2016.

Lots of benefits, true black levels (leds are just turned off), better energy consumption, thinner, but there is some talk of burn in issues.
There was a few years ago some development in Laser screens with very interesting benefits of its own (most notably no quality fall off during the years of usage) but it seems that at least for now that has ceased.
Looks like we're in for a long wait, just like 60+Hz IPS panels.
I wonder if OLED tech have matured enough by now to solve the burn in issue. Or simply OLED smart phones don't exhibit the issue because of battery saving screen power management.
