This year will hopefully be the year I can consolidate my old iMac and Windows PC with just 1 display. I just need help picking one.

These options are
- Dell Alienware AW3423DW
- Samsung Odyssey G8QNB
- LG C2 42"

Criteria
- Preferably OLED (I love my LG CX)
- >=120hz RR for gaming
- Not too large, will be used on normal sized desk all day
- Don't wish to worry about burn in
- MBP clarity/PQ or higher, usable (i.e. native resolution works well with my M1 MBP for day to day use)

I'm not sure which to pick when they go on sale based on this criteria.

I would ideally like something with the best performance (PQ), ability to be used without worry of burn in for working with and also capable of high FPS gaming. Bonus if I can watch films on it and not be too big its fatiguing to use up close (on a desk) for 8 Horus.

I suspect the two QD-OLED monitors will be nearly double the LG C2. In this respect, would it be worth it? I know the LG is probably a tad big and also not as bright and may potentially be more susceptible to burn in.

The curveball is the yet unannounced but rumoured Apple (Affordable) Display.
