Thought OLED was overrated until I switched
Honestly, when I first started hearing about OLED a couple years ago, I thought that it was overhyped primarily due to the price of OLED TVs and monitors. But now, there was finally one on sale for like 325 USD, so I decided to get it to see if the hype was real. And, as the title says, I’ve been blown away. The specific monitor is the Samsung Odyssey G50SF, which, as I understand, isn’t the highest quality monitor on the market, but it still blows the IPS panel(s) I’ve been using out of the water.
I do see the QD-OLED purple-screen-thing when it’s bright in the room, but that’s such a small thing that’s easy to overlook, especially when gaming. I’m sure it’s sort of cliche, but now that I’ve seen the “inky blacks” of OLED, I can’t unsee the backlight bleed from IPS panels. It’s not just blacks, though. Colors pop more, and whites look more white, and colors look more color-y, if that makes sense. I’d also like to say that things looks sharper, even though this monitor is the same size and resolution as my old one, but I could just be delusional Idk.
TL;DR, if you can afford it and primarily game on your machine, it’s worth it. It looks amazing when you’ve just been using non-OLED panels.
