Experiences Regarding Gaming on OLED screens? (self.pcmasterrace)

Wondering if my next upgrade should be an OLED screen or not. It looks amazing, but how is the current compatability with Linux these days? Anyone with one of these sexy screens that would like to share their experiences?

  • What screen do you have?
  • TV or Monitor Screen?
  • Do you have multiple screens?
  • What brand / model is recommended?

Lemmy know! 🌻

I have the Alienware OLED monitor as my primary.

Great for games, kinda meh for browser and movies.

Also use a vertical IPS monitor for browser windows.

Insane “meh” for movies IMO.

Perfect black is the best thing for movies, especially dark ones. Of all the content I’d want to see on OLED, movies are near the top. No way I’d massively downgrade to an IPS LCD for movies.

LG B6 w/ over 12k hours on it, probably 6k hours of just movies. Completely spoiled me, I can’t switch back.

Thanks for sharing, is there anything in particular that makes it a "meh" experience?

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 months ago

Ultrawide aspect ratio, glossy screen, OLED brightness variation, mediocre resolution for the size.

For non-game content, a regular 32” 16:9 4k IPS would be better and cheaper.
