    You have used some truely awful IPS screens buddy. OLED is nicer but not that much nicer.

    And why are those cats not being pet? Pet them you monster.

      You’ll say that right up until you have one right next to the other on the same desk. That’s what I have on my workstation at home, and my (admittedly, rather high end) OLED panel makes the IPS monitor look like cheap newsprint by comparison.

        I have 2 IPS monitors, and the older, cheaper one is much better than the other. so it’s not just the IPS-OLED difference.

        I changed from an IPS screen to a nearly identical OLED. I switched them back after a couple months of using the OLED and holy smokes the IPS was so much worse than I remember! I swapped them because I wasn’t happy with the OLED, turns out I was misremembering how good the old screen was.

      Oh yes. Yes I have. Absolutely.

      “Profound regret” is an exaggeration, but not by much. Looked fine in the carefully lit showroom. Wasn’t fine at all.

      OLED is nicer but not that much nicer.

      If you saw my laptop next to an OLED laptop in my house, you’ll eat these words. The difference is more stark than in the cat photo.

    The cat’s response time is much faster with “IPSpspsps”

      Just touch a plastic bag or a metal can. I swear, my cats have a speed force connection. And one i suspect is Thawn…he mocks me.

    Newer IPS screens actually managed to close the gap almost entirely, to the point where I personally prefer them over most OLED screens. And I used to be a huge OLED fan.

    You’ll probably never get pure blacks on a non-OLED display, but good LCDs nowadays are so close you’ll only notice the difference in a completely dark room. Which I think is more than good enough, considering potential OLED issues that never happen on LCDs.

    Also, fuck LG.

      I like the last line, they can get bent.

      I use a ten year old photography monitor, it’s calibrated, and it’s good for everything I use it for.

        I still have a couple of old IPS monitors with fluorescent backlights. Colors look better on them than most monitors I’ve seen

          I know what you mean, I’m not a big fan of overly saturated displays. And the refresh rate thing is funny. The first time when I saw “Introducing 144hz” I had a giggle my CRT monitor did that already when I was a kid.

    True.

    But OLED cat has a way faster metabolism, you will see it on your cat food bill. And older OLED cats are known to develop a greenish tint.

    I like the contrast of OLED but the threat of burn-in outweighs any color improvements over my VA panels. I know you can take measures to greatly reduce that risk, but I just want to use me computer without having to worry about things like hiding my taskbar, man.

    Good IPS is good enough and 0 flickering.

    Got a TCL tv, looks amazing many in my work have the same and agree with me.

      Your TCL TV is VA, not IPS

    I have a Retroid Pocket 5 (oled), and an Anbernic RG405M (not oled), and I am finding the latter kind of hard to look.

    I am IPS or die because burn in is something I want to avoid entirely. When the Nvidia pulsar panels get better and not exclusive to Nvidia, then IPS will be the best for gaming again.
