Reading x ray screen

Hello everyone! I'm currently diving deeper into the radiology world and would love some advice on screens that are good enough for actual diagnostic reading. I read that there are specifically "approved" medical monitors for reading X-rays, but since that was an AI-generated answer, I wanted to verify with the professionals here how necessary that is in daily practice.

More specifically, I'd like to know if the current generation iPad Pro (M5) is a good screen for reading scans. I don't mean just "fairly good," but really good for spotting subtle details. Is it worth the investment as something I could reliably use for years to come? Or would pretty much any iPad, tablet, or MacBook do the trick if paired with a solid DICOM viewer?

Lastly, what are your thoughts on expensive OLED gaming monitors? Are they suitable for detailed diagnostic work when reading studies remotely or at home?

I appreciate any insights you can share! Thanks in advance.
