Hey! I have loved an oled tv and thought it is finally time to upgrade my super old pc monitor, and I was wanting to go to the Oled route.

The most I can honestly spend is $550, and I am willing to do that if it will provide any extra reliability, quality of panel, color accuracy , blacks, smoothness when gaming, brightness, warranty against dead pixels or malfunctions, etc. But I also don’t want to spend extra if I don’t need to! For context I like to game, but I am also a amateur filmmaker and would like for some flexibility there for when I am doing my basic color grades and editing.

I narrowed down a few options that seemed to have good reviews and these were the three.

$550 Alienware

$430 Samsung

$350 Alienware

The top one had a lot of very positive reviews so I am just leaning towards that one, but the $350 one seemed pretty much the same besides slightly less refresh rate. I threw that samsung one in there just as a middle of the pack option, it comes with RE9, and maybe it has a better panel than the other two, maybe not, idk! When I look at monitors side by side in person I am usually not pretty good at telling a difference, but I am not good at comparing online with different technical jargon.

Can anyone give me their two cents on what my best option would be considering what I have said, and if there are any other better options that I am missing within my budget?
