I'm not going to change my habits for a monitor. Hiding the taskbar is annoying, as Windows randomly has the habit of not showing it.
Also there will be static elements on it for 16+ hours at least on the weekend. 8 to 13 under the week. Some buttons are bright some orange.
Brightness can't be lowered much as I don't have many options to mitigate the sun unless I fully cover the window (bright reflection neighbor houses at different daytimes + normal sun + mirrors on walls etc.)
What if I do a 48h gaming session? Can I throw it in the trash afterwards?
Could try to adapt your gaming sessions to include short breaks to help prevent injury, and grab a snack maybe. 10 minute breaks every hour (or few hours :) ) where you turn the monitor off may help?
Same, it’s the biggest annoyance that’s putting me off an OLED at the moment. I don’t like the idea of having to baby my things and fretting over the small meaningless details with kids’ gloves.
That and also because DP 2.1 still isn’t a thing in 2023 and only God knows why.
