OLED monitors do exist, just at a very much unreasonable price and size:

- https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07XTZ45T2 (this one is more of a laptop screen than a monitor)

I’m simplifying here, but essentially no one has figured out how to make OLED panels affordable at a reasonable form factor for monitors yet. The type of panels used in phones (and tablets/laptops) are very different from those used in TVs. LG is making inroads with their 42 C2s, but those will also have a high price and is still way too big for normal monitor use cases.

There's a 34" ultrawide Alienware QD-OLED (Samsung's new OLED tech for TV panels) coming this year for $1300, which is still expensive but nowhere near as expensive as monitor OLEDs have been.
