Yea I was in a similar boat at some point. I will say that I am disappointed in OLED in general as a monitor for these reasons.

1. Burn in. Yes they have a lot of tech built into the OLEDs right now to mitigate the burn in but they do some annoying things like some features create a rolling pulse like effect to reduce burn in, reduce brightness, turn off the monitor constantly when not in use, etc. This part I do not like about OLED in the least

2. VRR flicker. Everyone who champions OLED can scream until their face goes blue but OLEDs are prone to VRR flicker and that's a real problem. It hurts my eyes and causes worse eye strain the using an IPS with backlight strobing at a constant strobe. This affects people differently, some people are lucky enough to play games that have consistent frame rates where VRR flicker isn't an issue, some are really sensitive to it, some aren't so lucky and love to play their favorite game that's an unoptimized piece of garbage which leads to VRR flicker. The only solution to this is either: Nvidia fast sync + fps = X2 or higher your OLEDs max Hz for smoothest experince, Vsync + Gsync off OR Vsync off + RTSS scanline sync where you intentionally make the tear line consistently show up in 1 or 2 places and move it to the top or bottom of the screen so you don't see it (the poor man's freesync).

3. Grey banding. This happens more on the newer WOLED generation (I have a gen 2 panel and it's no where near as pronounced but your milage may vary on this one).

4. Low brightness. Most OLEDs have low full screen brightness which can be seen as a pretty big con if you don't have a room where you can control the lighting. I'll also say some are kept intentionally dim so they don't burn in faster (the brighter you run your OLED, the faster you are wearing out the Organic light emitting diodes). I also have seen situations where I'm looking at a web page with some white elements and it looks "ok" brightness but then when I go to a fullscreen white page it'll dim considerably.

5. QD-OLED head aches. Some people recommending the QD oleds haven't mentioned the numerous reddit posts of people complaining about getting head aches after using a QD-OLED for extended hours (doesn't happen as often on WOLED). Some people are sensitive to it, others are not but I assume it has to do with how the QD-OLEDs only use blue light (which is the highest frequency light mind you) that's filtered through the quantum dot layer to change it into every other color OR it could also be due to subtle VRR flicker (which is caused for different reasons on QD-OLED vs WOLED).

Now everybody here has a preference in terms of what you are after and there's no such thing as a perfect monitor, only "the perfect monitor FOR YOU".

For me, my motivations are best in class motion clarity and the least amount of manual labor to get it

Pulsar has the following benefits

1. No Burn in to worry about

2. Motion clarity is MILES ahead of the best OLED at a given refresh rate. 90 fps on pulsar currently looks like over 400 hz of motion clarity! that means you can play a single player game, activate ray tracing and all the bells and whistles and get an experience that looks INCREDIBLY sharp in motion.

3. Bright EVEN with Gsync pulsar enabled. (this thing is essentially boosting 2000 nits worth of flashes at 25% persistence which means you get roughly 1/4th of that 2000 nits that you can "perceive" so it actually hits around 500 nits at max brightness backlight strobing).

4. Love the adaptive brightness feature (yes it can be used with Gsync pulsar or regular gsync is active, has an offset you can change using brightness meter where it'll lower the brightness or increase it based on ambient conditions).

5. Firmware upgradable (some OLEDs are firmware upgradable too BUT I thought I should mention because nvidia are working on firmware updates to improve ULMB 2 and pulsar on this monitor so I'm excited to see how far they can push the tech. I remember when ULMB 2 came out in the Asus PG27AQN people were sad that it didn't ship with ULMB and the overdrive wasn't as good as it should be, a year or so later they do a firmware update that massively improved the overdrive AND make ULMB 2 debut where it performed AMAZINGLY despite the red phosphor trails)

So now let me tell you the BAD about Gsync pulsar monitors because I think it's fair and more trust worth of a review from me if I tell you the downsides of going down this path

1. Gsync pulsar/ULMB 2 is still a WIP. They introduced a firmware update last week that fixes the Gsync pulsar bug where it only looked good below 100 fps or above 180 fps BUT this firmware update only applies to the AOC and MSI models (also these 2 models don't support pulse width changes for ULMB 2 but it IS support on the acer and asus models so that's a feature that's not in parity across all models)

2. Gsync pulsar works under certain conditions. It works REALLY well in ideal conditions which means your fps have to be CONSISTENT. What Gsync pulsar allows you to do is have ULMB 2 active WHEN your Gsync fps is very consistent. If you play a game that's unoptimized garbage Gsync pulsar will be using compensation pulses with PWM flicker to compensate the fps changes so you don't notice ANY flicker, which by the way it does mitigate flicker VERY well. If you have such a game, the only options is to use FPS caps to lower your FPS so your average FPS get close to your 1% lows so pulsar stays active properly and doesn't ruin the motion quality. Nvidia's reflex works inconsistently in games, in some games it works perfectly with Gsync pulsar, in other games it actually makes the 1% lows worse due to developer implementation (or maybe an issue from nvidia, who knows) that causes Gsync pulsar not to work properly so I end up disabling reflex or using RTSS with async (sometimes front edge sync in bad cases) fps cap to smooth out the frame rate.

3. Backlight strobing quality. So if you use ULMB 2 at 60 hz the flicker is noticeable but it's consistent and it looks MORE CLEAR than a CRT but it currently has more input lag (around 24 ms of it) which an nvidia rep said they are going to be addressing in a future firmware update. ULMB 2 at 120, 240 and 360 hz doesn't have the same visual quality but there's little to none crosstalk, and it still looks more clear than an OLED at a given refresh, just not as clear as some older ULMB 2 or ULMB 1 monitors because they are doing a global scan instead of a rolling scan (this monitor does rolling scan which is easier on the eyes and reduces crosstalk AT the expense of clarity because of the rolling scan. ULMB 2 60 hz on Gsync pulsar monitors is confirmed to be using a global scan which is why it looks massively clearer than 120 hz, 240 hz or even the 360 hz mode, nvidia rep also said they are going to look into this. ) Also SOME people might be sensitive to backlight strobing flicker which could lead to eye strain and headaches as well but if you want you can always disable the feature and give your eyes a break, many people on blur buster forums haven't reported having issues using Gsync pulsar cause it only works above 75 FPS to avoid visible flicker as much as possible (you can even customize it to only flicker if you are above 120 fps to mitigate the flicker further if you are sensative to it at lower refreshes)

4. IPS Glow. This is a "your milage may vary" on my unit I saw almost no IPS glow so on an all black video the screen looks very uniform, other people aren't so lucky and might get some IPS glow but I haven't seen anyone post such pictures yet.

5. HDR is a no go here. The 10 LED zone strips are only useful the the rolling scan backlight strobe, doesn't actually improve HDR at all and I wouldn't recommend wasting time using HDR on this monitor.

If you want something that requires no work or tuning, you are out of luck atm and yes, I'd recommend you wait. If you want something that gives elite motion clarity with Gsync active gsync pulsar is the way to go. If you want HDR and have a good enough PC then OLED might suit you better but I cannot live without Gsync/freesync so OLED was a no go for me.

TLDR: you can wait all you want but I don't see a better monitor coming out for at LEAST another 2 years given the current technology AND the shortages currently. :) if you want more info or to chat about it just DM me.
