During my research in my OLED purchase decision, I found a Chinese guy in Chiphell and bilibili who (in summary, IIRC) have used a few 360Hz OLEDs in high level FPS games and found something off for him. (unrelated to resolution, and more likely something timing-related between GPU and the display thing, but I don't completely understand). He performs much better in TN. Yes really.
The last time I check he does use OLED for non-FPS usage, and a super-high-speed TN when ships get serious.
I can't really engage any further because I don't know better, just to say there was such a guy.
I treat these TN stuff as an oldies tech which normies should never get anywhere close to them, and frankly normies probably will never understand why TN is still a thing.
And he is a monitor reviewer with some esports background. He did some serious tests with expensive equipment in a bit different way than, say, RTINGS and Monitors Unboxed, to get there.
To be clear, no matter what those professional shooter players say, this, or TN in general, is still a product category that no sane person besides actual professional shooter players should consider.
TN are pretty much industrial waste if not for shooters. He did add similar disclaimer in his videos.
And actual esports player community won't care this forum enough to leave comment about that.
OLED has some visual artifacting for Variable Refresh Rate (as per Rtings) but at 500 Hz you don't need VRR you can just disable it. OLED burn in is practically a non-issue in 2025.
Contrast, brightness, colour accuracy, colour volume, response time, viewing angle - all parameters are better for OLED.
- Set desktop to a black wallpaper.
- Set taskbar to auto hide.
- Remove all desktop ahortcuts.
- Leave powerbrick on 24/7 due to pixel refresh feature.
- Use dark themes everywhere.
- Can't do text editing work on it.
- Limit my playtime due to static HUD elements.
Too many drawbacks to outweigh the postives which is only the real blacks.And even if you do all that, you still got this burn-in person breathing in your neck constantly, there is simply no peace of mind, just like watercooling.
Whatever you take I want a line of that. Or maybe not...
