Dough Spectrum Black review: “OLED spice makes for a pricey monitor mix”

Dough Spectrum Black monitor with Aloy from Horizon: Forbidden West on screen.

Out of all the gaming monitors I test, OLED displays normally excite me the most. So, upon hearing that the Dough Spectrum Black would blend the display maker's excellent glossy gorilla glass screen with a vibrant panel, I knew I’d be in for something special. Now that I’ve taken the model out for a test run, I can confirm it lives up to most of my personal hype, but its illustrious price tag means I’d ultimately prefer to drive away with its cheaper LCD sibling. 

You might want to sit down for this one, as the Dough Spectrum Black comes in at $1,099.99. Sure, many of the best gaming monitors out there sit at over a grand, but we’re talking about a 26.5-inch 1440p display here. It does boast that new OLED panel and aforementioned gorilla glass coating, and I’m open to the idea of those traits justifying the higher MSRP. But, in the context of the QHD screen scene right now, it looks upsettingly pricey at a glance.
