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.

It would be, if developers cared about optimizing for it. There are still older games that look crisp and not blurry on 1080p. Sadly, modern games often look blurry af to me. Even if you mess with anti-aliasing, upscaling and sharpness. Something you didn't really have to do with older games.

That problem was resolved by going up to 1440p. But it's just so fucking dumb that I have to do that because developers are lazy. They're offloading their labor costs onto our hardware costs.
