That's interesting regarding OLED, I thought over time the different colour LEDs decay at different rates?

A while ago I had a look at Eizo's 10 bit / channel TFTs, which looked impressive to me (from a layman's perspective), do you have any opinions of those?

Eizo's high end displays are great for almost all uses up to the highest end color critical installs. I recommend them over the DreamColors all the time. You can't get much better without moving to ultra high end pro solutions.
Awesome, thanks for the heads up :) Just for curiosity what manufacturers make the very best monitors in your eyes for colour work?
Flanders Scientific, Sony, Dolby in order from cheapest to most expensive. FSi and Sony use the same panels for their 25" models. Sony x300 is the go to right now for affordable HDR. Dolby is the gold standard for non projector color critical work.

For non color critical necessary displays, Eizo is about the best. Lots of" good enough" panels from LG, Acer, and Fell though. I actually have a gaming panel that calibrated surprisingly well and holds those numbers.

The best consumer display by far though are the LG OLED televisions. They're so good that we're installing them in lots of mid level suites as client monitors (aka close enough to our color critical panels).

I don't have any experience with the more expensive panels you listed, but I do have an LG OLED, and I'd be a bit more careful about recommending it for color critical work as a computer monitor.

I've owned it for about a year and the red channel on mine exhibits painfully obvious burn-in patterns.

I don't know why you are being downvoted so hard. Red is a very complicated color on OLED displays and manufacturers admit that frequent calibration is not only necessary but will eventually kill the display after a few years.
