You can construct a compact frame factor machine using a genuine 5090 that can manage nearly any task. Check out the tutorials on YT from optimum and Mr Matt Lee along with others.

Avoid 40". It's ridiculous to go 4k with a screen so big that you can literally see the pixels. 32" is the perfect size for 4k gaming.
OLED has the best image quality and burn in is no longer a big problem with the new generation, but there's a huge caveat that affects every OLED monitor: the image flickers when the frame rate fluctuates if you have VRR (G-Sync or FreeSync) enabled. And at 4k it's gonna happen no matter how powerful your PC is. It's why I still use an IPS monitor. I can't tolerate the flicker nor screen tearing.

My device is a QLED screen with quantum dot panels.
I'm positioned roughly three feet away and don't notice the individual pixels.
It seems the screen type affects visibility, as I can see them clearly from a nearby 50-inch Samsung 6 series TV.

I've checked both options and they both appear to have strong reviews. What do you think?

Comparing them is tricky because of their different sizes and shapes—one curved, the other flat.
In most cases, 4k at 240 frames per second isn’t realistic.
There aren’t many video cards capable of handling that speed.
Assuming you’re watching pre-recorded content, the ASUS model with DP 2.1 seems to handle the high bandwidth well enough.
Alienware lacks this feature, and its HDMI 2.1 only works with DSC, which is a compression method.
So technically, it’s not really achieving that speed.
The main issue is that DP 2.1 is available only on very recent cards.
I think the real challenge will be for users who prefer gaming and don’t want to sacrifice quality.
In practice, if you mainly play games, you’ll likely get around 60fps at 4k only if you’re lucky.
