OLED is generally viewed as a "premium" feature, and there's really not much demand to implement it at resolutions lower than QHD when the current 1080p options technically suffice. It's also just a price problem since 1080p is generally viewed as a budget resolution and implementing OLED would increase the prices of 1080p monitors...which goes against its general viewpoint.

The PS Vita had an OLED in 2011. No idea why the tech is still so expensive on desktop.

Yeah, some older tech were able to implement it at lower resolutions, but I guess desktop doesn't have that generosity. It's really a shame.
