Is there a shortlist of top of the line utilitarian monitors that you can just buy, without researching or being some niche gamer?* Something similar to LG G-series TV's. Seems like Apple Studio, Dell UltraSharp are on that list. Any others?

*Struggling for words, but I'm looking more for the expedient solution rather than the "craft beer" or "audiophile" solution.

Keep in mind that normal OLEDs are quite bad for typical development tasks: lots of text with high contrast. Here is an example that would be unbearable for me: [1]. For text, IPS rules so far. For video and games, definitely OLED.

If you truly don't want to research use rtings best monitor for X articles and find your budget and buy that one, if you feel the need to compare further pop the model numbers into your favourite LLM

Many monitors use the same panels with only firmware differences. The panel technology IPS/VA/OLED/WOLED is what you shop for.

If you're a gamer QDOLED is best. If you do office work just get whatever is high resolution and makes text sharp.
