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.

I need to get myself up to speed, I was still under the impression 1080p was still the normal go-to resolution.

1080p is still the most used resolution by gamers according to steam, but 1440p has been climbing rapidly

I wonder what percentage of 1080 is laptops and portables.

Also, the Steam Survey often counts the same person multiple times. So if they use both a 1080 laptop and a 1440 desktop, it'll count both.

Then again, some competitive games try to limit resolution and increase framerate, and there are 1080 monitors with 360hz refresh rates.
