SeekerSony 42 A90K OLED
The Sony 42 A90K OLED is an impressive TV for mixed usage as a monitor. It's amazing for gaming, thanks to its nearly instantaneous response time, delivering clear motion with little blur. It's superb for watching videos, especially in a dark room, as it has near-infinite contrast and perfect black uniformity. It also helps it deliver an amazing HDR experience, as HDR content looks vivid and lifelike. It's also good for office use because of its large screen, but it has bad ergonomics and just decent text clarity, as the RWBG subpixel layout isn't ideal.
