Doable like the golden Apple Watch was doable? Or doable for a mainstream success? I’d prefer the latter

Apple Reportedly Planning 32- and 42-Inch OLED Displays for 2027 Amid Switch to New Panel Technology

Why OLED? The burn-in issue still exists especially if you use a monitor quite a lot and highest brightness. Even OLED based reference monitors are extremely rare and have limited uses.
Seriously. The snails pace of product refreshes other than iPhone and iPad is agonizing at times. It ends up causing people to buy a 2 year old product or wait another year for a new product, affecting the perceived value. Apple doesn’t seem to care for that anyway, everything is at a premium no matter what.
Obviously I’m part of the problem because I am still eager to buy 😂. It just makes the decision so much more difficult when I don’t know when to expect a refresh of a monitor, desktop, laptop, etc. I ended up buying a cheap Dell while waiting for the M2 Air and when those dropped I was underwhelmed so continued to wait.
A 42” OLED APPLE monitor!
Time for a second mortgage!

Switched from a setup with three screens which already was quite high-end (LG Ultrafine 5k together with 2 x LG Ultrafine 4K) to a 42" LG C2 TV running at 4k 120Hz and I couldn't be happier even though it's not "retina" any more and there are inconveniences like some tinkering with DP adapters and the need to use a TV remote.
The image quality is just so incredibly great and having a single large surface in front of me that finally deserves to be called "Desktop" is just so amazing.
Cost me about 1000€, so chances I'll break the bank to get the Apple one are quite low, but I'll be happy to get HDMI 2.1 support next time I upgrade my MacBook.

Actually no, they cannot since trying to stretch the definition too much would easily turn into deception, which tends to be an illegal business practice in most reasonable jurisdictions. Not to mention the damage to the confidence in the brand if too many reasonable coverage requests are denied.
It does make sense to set some reasonable limitations though: some example they specify as not covered for "abnormal" use is e.g. if the TV is set in a place with excessive temperature or humidity like in a sauna... I'd argue that if that's the case it's perfectly reasonable to deny warranty coverage.
That's likely WHY Apple has been a slow adopter of OLED ... they are working on solving these kinds of issues before mass adoption.
But whatever happened to MicroLED? I thought it was superior to everything else? I firmly believed that Apple was aiming to bypass OLED in favour of MicroLED.
So Apple is going to release a 42-inch iMac in the year 2027...
Apple rumors have completely jumped the shark.

There are some commercial products being announced, e.g. the ASUS ProArt Cinema PQ07 (135", 4K). Of course it's a very niche product.
I guess manufacturing is not there yet to produce MicroLED displays in more common consumer display sizes and high pixel densities at scale and it will likely require a few years for that to happen. Until then, MiniLED will be the to-go technology in usage scenarios where OLED is not well suited.
2027 makes this one of the biggest who cares speculative posts in a while. It's like being interested in Max coming out in 2029. It's not even worth the brain space much less these keystrokes, sorry about that.
I don't know about you, but I find it super valuable to care about vaporware that's not even confirmed and it's more than 3 years away.
This is good stuff, these sites really know how to get these comments
Similar panels are already shipping slowly. Within 1-2 years we'll have third party 144hz OLED 4k/5k panels for half of what Apple will be charging in 4 years.
2 years after the car, no problemo!Doable like the golden Apple Watch was doable? Or doable for a mainstream success? I’d prefer the latter
There are at least two OLED ( or OLED category ) technology that will hugely improve or even Eliminate this problem. ELQD or OLED NanoRod. Both *will* not be be fully mass market ready in 2027. But the usual Apple moves would be to switch to OLED for a few years before moving to these technology.
