That's the PVM. The BVM is significantly more expensive.

My dream of having a Gsync OLED 120hz monitor in my life time is out the door...

I feel you bro. For me the dream is a 5120x2160, 35"+, 120hz+, gsync OLED; and i fear its even further away then i first thought.

I believe the price was said to be 30,000 Euros a while back when it was first shown off.

Ideally it would be a 55" panel at that resolution (100 DPI) and I would hope that it also has some form of ULMB support if it does G-Sync.

There are a lot of issues with current OLED panels though.
They really are a huge leap forwards in many ways, but at the same time, it's going to be a long time before they're actually going to be suitable as a computer monitor or for gaming - at least in some consumer form which is remotely affordable.
Any time I start thinking about what they have to overcome, and how long that is realistically going to take, it makes me want to start hunting around for CRTs.

(150~ppi)

Are you guys going to be sitting farther away on the couch or something, or does that PPI really not bother you?

100 pixels per inch is the ideal resolution for displaying computer graphics at 100% scale.

Though Windows does offer more flexible scaling than OS X (which is fixed at 100% or 200% scale) anything which is not 100% or 200% scale in Windows is a compromise and you will run into broken applications. Even at 200% scale many applications still have problems.

With 5K resolution you get to choose a big 5120x2880 workspace at 100% scale (55" panel) or to use it as a high DPI "2560x1440" panel at 200% scale where a 27.5" panel is the ideal size. (200 PPI)

We need 8K/10K panels to get both high DPI rendering and the larger workspace.
I'll take the big panel with lots of workspace and no scaling issues over a small high DPI panel any day.

It's not that I don't appreciate the merits of "retina" displays - I have a Retina MacBook Pro - but for my desktop PC I want lots of workspace and a big screen.
Of course I would prefer both - but we don't even have a connector that can do 5K at 60Hz over a single cable yet, so 8/10K panels are quite far away.
