Good LCDs (i.e. native 8-bit IPS) have been available for a very long time. No-compromise gaming IPS's (120hz+, backlight strobing) - for more than 7 years. Decent 60hz ones (and even 76hz - 2209WA with overdrive) - for far, far longer. Yes, there's still the IPS glow, A-TW polarizer-equipped panels are almost impossible to look up in the first place. Yes, the black level is still pretty bad, unless you have a stacked matrix reference Sony or something. Yes, cheap 16-bit-with-bad-dithering TN less-than-sRGB-gamut LCDs are not great, but so were the el cheapo shadow mask CRTs.

Great OLED screens are on the market now, too. They look absolutely incredible; once you go OLED, you don't go back :)

Yes, but my cheap LCD monitors I use for work have endured I reckon at least 3 years of continuous operation over the space of 7 years. What will an OLED that costs probably 5x as much look like after that much time?
