So I typically play my PC games on a 1080p LCD panel. I also have an LG OLED in the living room - which I seldom use for gaming.
Nevertheless, I hooked my PC up to the LG and the difference in visuals is staggering. Spiderman - which is essentially an upscaled PS4 game - looked breathtaking. Conversely the visuals looked so dull and flat on my LCD monitor. I also always felt Doom Eternal looked quite average looking on my PC monitor, but it looked utterly insane on the OLED.
For both games, the image had a real sense of depth, visual effects/particles/colours had a notable 'pop' and playing games was so much more enjoyable and immersive.
The difference in graphics between the two display sets was day and night. Both Spiderman and Doom Eternal looked significantly better on the OLED. I know many of you are disappointed that most games look crossgen but it was clear to me that having a high quality TV set can offset the limited visual improvement we've seen in games today.
Truthfully I yearn for an OLED as my PC monitor however the prospect of burn in scares the pants out of me as I spend the vast majority of PC usage with Firefox + Microsoft Word (static elements). But the sweet, sweet picture quality is so alluring...
