I don't have a solution for you. But a question: what scale do you use with a 40" 4k monitor? 100%, 150%, 200%?

Also, I've been using an LG OLED C2 which has Chroma 444. Another issue with OLED is "pixel shift" to counter to burn in. I'm fairly sure I can tell when it happens, or something else is happening and I don't know what.

Usually 100%, although I've been creeping just the text size up a little lately. My goal has typically been to treat it as a 2x2 array of the old 21" 1080p monitors (without the annoying bezels), rather than as a single small retina surface (which most of the newer monitors seem to go for).
That's the nice thing about 40" 4K.

My gold standard for 100% scaling is 2560x1440 27".

You get the same PPI with 40" 4K, so it should also be good at 100%.

I've been waiting for a 40" 4K OLED with 120hz or better to show up for a reasonable price. Just haven't seen it yet.
