The thread title says it all. Would you take HFR and higher resolution or lower resolution and better colors? It's a weird thing i thought up after the rumors supposing that the Switch 2 would have a 120hz LCD with VRR (unlikely, but it's nice to dream)

 

[OnagaTheDragon]

It really depends on the game. OLED provides excellent image quality, but I don't see the point of having a high refresh rate if you're going to play a strategy game with lots of static text or a slow-paced games.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Personally playing faster paced games I will pick 144 frames over a 60hz OLED every single day

OLED.

Once you go true black, you never go back.

 

[Gaiff]

The OLED's much faster response time kind of gets canceled out by being capped at 60Hz. Give me the 144Hz. 60Hz is just too low and not flexible enough.

I'll take the 400lb CRT, Alex.

 

[Minsc]

I have OLED at 4k and 240hz, picking those options suck.

I'm as pro OLED as they come, but between those two options I'd go 144hz VRR, and just use an external OLED display.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Easy choice, good IPS LCD display is good enough, but 1080p or 60fps arent.

If youre asking for a handheld id definitely go the other way with 1080p60, also an easy choice.

 

[Fbh]

If it's a handheld or relatively small monitor I might pick OLED.
If it's a bigger monitor or a TV I'd go with the LCD.

As cool as OLED is, I care about image quality more, and going back to 1080p after playing at higher resolutions for years would suck.

Oled as long as it's also HDR.
but then .. no 40fps modes.... hard choice.
Is that LCD at least an IPS?

yeah sure ips

 

[Rentahamster]

Uh, neither?

I'd anything, I'd want 1080p with 144+hz lcd.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Are we talking TV or handheld?

TV - 4K 120hz OLED with VRR

Handheld (Portal) - 1080p 60hz OLED

But for a handheld, the rumored Switch 2 screen (120hz HDR and VRR LCD) is perfect.

 

[iHaunter]

OLED. Color is unmatched.

 

[RPS37]

How is OLED not winning?
Non-infinite contrast peons.

 

[kevboard]

a 60hz TV/Monitor in 2025 is not even remotely something I'd consider... even if it was the best OLED tech yet with the best colors and the best brightness.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

this hypothetical makes me sad

 

[Fess]

Depends what I'm playing.

Using a controller, playing third person games, slower movements, sitting on a couch 3m away - 1080p 60hz OLED is fine.

But using keyboard and mouse, playing first person games, fast movements, sitting close to the screen - definitely going with the 4K 144hz LCD there.

For Switch 2 I don't care. I'll buy it if it's a 320x240 screen.

 

[Liopleurodon]

Even if LCD was 1080p 60Hz, I would still choose it over that burn in magnet.

 

[Filben]

In regards of the Switch 2 display? 1080p 60hz OLED. Don't need 4k on that small screen and games rendering that high and performing worse just to hit native res.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

I think I'd go 1080p OLED and supersample the shit out of whatever I was playing. 1080p on a 1080p display looks fine. It's when you use that resolution on a 1440p or 4K display that it doesn't in my experience.

I have a 360Hz Samsung G6 OLED. The brightness and colours on that display are too good to sacrifice in my opinion.

 

[mèx]

60hz is a joke, lmao.

I would even take a high refresh 1080p TN panel over that.
