Well yes, but as I said in another comment, if you rename the input source as "PC" it is as good if not better than any PC monitor. It won't do any picture processing, has sub 10ms reaction time, supports G-Sync.....yes it has all the functions of a smart TV, but it works great as a PC monitor if you need it too.
As another commenter in the thread mentioned, televisions and high end gaming displays are often optimized differently (I don’t know what this means for an OLED display, just speaking generally here-so take that as far as pleasant conversation will permit) Which admittedly isn’t something a lot of people care about, though I would reckon if one is about to drop three big ones on a video display source it probably matters more to them than it would to the rest of us.
Right, so just so you know - the LG OLEDs are particularily well suited for it, because if you rename the input source as "PC" it is treated as a special source with absolutely no processing applied to it, full 4:4:4 bandwidth enabled, and many reviews have measured the response time in sub 10ms range - same as top-end PC monitors. It might not be the case for many other displays, but those OLEDs work brilliantly for that use case(having said that, I probably would still advise against it, unless you mostly play games/watch movies, since OLED burn-in is still very real)
I recently upgraded displays to a widescreen 4k display, and "OLED burn-in" was something I routinely came across while shopping around (not that I was in the market for OLED specifically because OLED, but more just "seeing what's out there" in that spec). Ended up settling on an Acer Nitro because it was on sale at my local Microcenter. Has done it's job quite well for me--but I'm also one of kinds of people who buys a thing and uses it until the screws are falling out before upgrading and otherwise considers good enough, heh.
Well, at least in the case of LG OLED, some thought has been put into the gaming application. They support game mode (very common), black frame insertion (less common), and adaptive sync (new and expensive) in their entry level OLED displays. It ticks every box I have for a gaming display, except for the “costs $0” box.
