Whatever replaces OLED monitors. People are quick to defend OLED, citing the fabulous picture quality, but I'm not about to spend that kind of money on a display with a built in expiration date. They only last until the burn-in becomes too pronounced to continue enjoying it. This issue is especially troublesome for people who play certain games with persistent UI elements.

Current OLED tech has reduced burn-in to almost zero. I can't remember what major tech site did extensive burn testing but they found almost all current gen models had almost zero issues. The ones with any noticeable retention went through the pixel cleaning and was almost good as new.

I don't understand how OLED could be viable for me. I have desktop layout with various windows vast majority of my PC time and only like maybe 10% goes to gaming when screen refreshes more often. I don't want to slowly burn my window decorations and panel into panel itself. No matter how far in the future it is, well, unless it's something unreasonably high like 50 years when the rest of the electronics won't exist anymore anyway...

MicroLED are currently being developed, so we'll see what those are like. Imagining the world in 50 years is a scary exercise. There probably won't be any wildlife left.
