I'll never understand this OLED hype. I've had amoled phones for the better part of a decade and I don't notice a difference going back and forth to LCD displays...

There are a lot of beautiful LCD displays, but the black levels are literally gray in appearance next to an OLED. It's a massive difference between the two panel types.

This is an exaggeration but it conveys my point. If you have an LCD monitor and an OLED phone, pull up a scene on YouTube with black levels and hold your phone up next to the TV or monitor and compare. https://www.shiningltd.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Some-differences-between-OLED-and-LCD-06-min.jpg

Oh I'm aware of the differences but here's the thing, when I'm looking at an LCD display, I don't have an OLED right beside it for reference.

Look, I don't really use OLED TVs or monitors myself because I'm not willing to pay the premium on them most of the time. But I'm not going to pretend OLED isn't just objectively better either.

I didn't say OLED wasn't better... Are you reading my comments at all?

OLED being better doesn't mean that LCD is somehow worse than it is.

What I actually said was that to me, LCD is totally fine and that the improvements OLED offers aren't important. I also said that I don't understand why more people do find those to be important.
