In docked mode it pretty much is the same as your standard switch. I game on an OLED so it really doesn't bother me.

Just came out this year. There's also the LG C2 42", which is a bit better setup for gaming with g-sync and 4 2.1 HDMI ports. I prefer Sony's algorithms however. And yea, I ended up lifting the TV by putting it on a 3" shelf.

Micro-LED will take some time maybe in 5-7 years it will be affordable for the masses.

That may even be optimistic considering the current price / yield rate.

They're awesome but do keep in mind they are still very expensive and my personal experience is the yellow on my OLED after 5 years has changed shade to a darker yellow and this was reported on various forums online, so I wasn't the only one. This was after 5 years though. LG were unwilling to fix it as it was well over the warranty period.

Bought my 77" CX one and a half years ago and I‘m still impressed with the picture. Also bought a 4k VA monitor just recently for my working space and I barely use it because I just hate the washed out blacks. I would‘ve been better off with a 43“ OLED I guess.

Another gaming win for LCDs.
Go at 10.44 and just look side by side how much more pop and brightness the LCD on the left can produce.
The brightness only matters if you're in a bright room. Everything else is better on the OLED.

I think OLED vs LCD from my experience , my observations:
HDR on OLED vs LCD:
For small highlights OLED is brighter cause LCD dims the zone trying only to light a small portions for it thus dims the highlights
Dark scenes like stars dims on LCD cause of zone dimming
For wide bright areas ( white areas ) LCD is brighter
In fact in QD OLED colored highlights are brighter than LCDs in hdr Reds , Yellows neon lights for example
SDR is far brighter on LCDs

I guess, I've been using these OLED projection AR glasses and now I don't even bother using my TV anymore.

Yeah it's lovely, LCD still has some advantages for both movies and gaming imo but were talking about a handful of models most of which are years old and cant be bought new + there are serious flaws with challenging dark scenes/content on even these best LCD I refer to.
Samsung could've finally matched the old best LCDs with Neo QLED but the miniLED backlight zone counts don't translate to the same performance when compared to the old backlight zone count, plus they absolutely fucked their game modes.
It's something to do with the matrix that controls them, it's slow to transition and relies too much on software that's disabled/lessened in Game mode making it useless for game mode. They chased design and thinness to the detriment of picture quality, hence why Sony LCDs are still so fat.
If (whatever variant of) OLED can get past ABL limitations, get 10% windows to 1500 nits and implement BFI that doesnt destroy the brightness output while reducing stutter to near LCD levels then I'll consider LCD basically dead. I have a good feeling by the time that happens consumer MicroLED will be on the scene though.

I love my OLED for gaming but for TV viewing end up with the picture being way too dark or overly bright to compensate
The issue is that people are comparing a top of the line OLED to gaming monitors or some budget miniLed or some years old QLED. Gaming monitors aren't there for picture quality. They are there for response times and most of them have awful visual quality.
When you have both of the top models of the respective technologies side by side, there are differences between them, and depending on what your preferences are, you will lean towards one technology, but all of the major display technologies are so good, none of them 'blow away' the other.

Just got my first OLED and pretty damn excited! I had a fuck it moment and ordered it last night. It’s going to replace a 48 inch Bravia 900E as a monitor. I’m about to deep dive YouTube and internet for settings and what not. Minesweeper is going to look so damn good.

That is oversaturated and looks exactly like samsung tv set to native color space. At this dim sum restaurant I go to NFL Sundays look exactly like that and it looks horrid. I'm not sure why games are suppose to look like that, but I disagree.

Yea, the new Sony Bravia is what I plan on getting. Seems to have everything that the PS5 is compatible with.

Been on my cx all year now, and my poor high end qleds never get touched any more. I have 3 Samsung qleds, a 2021 and two 2019 models. My LG CX OLED 70" is hogging my every free moment lol.
Differences from my anecdotal experience as well as personal friends and family hot takes:
Clarity - it's visually stunning in almost every setting. Movies, games, videos, hdr and non hdr. Noticably better picture in all comparisons.
Color - both normal and especially hdr color is far and away superior on the cx. Blacks are practically plasma level and I'm a bitch about proper blacks having come from a proper plasma screen prior. As for gaming, holy shit when dialed in correctly with a game that does proper hdr I lose my shit from time to time as does my brother and father lol
Movement and motion blur - being a self proclaimed cinephile, I am extremely picky about 24p, film grain, and all the different luts and blurs that go with my film watching. I know when it's faked, and when it stresses me out incredibly when poorly done. I'm happy to report when the settings are correct, it has the best proper motion blur of all my screens.
It's been a year of hard gaming from my self and kids as well as nightly movies and YouTube videos. 0 sign of burn in.
This is coming from a horrible experience with 3 previous LG b7s that had burn in in less than a year of use. I was super anti OLED 3 years ago. The CX has converted me 100%

Recently bought a Samsung S95b, initally was floored by the punchy image and bright colours, but after a couple of weeks Im struggling with crushed blacks. Ive spent hours faffing with settings but cant find a balance between black detail and it being too washed out. So many settings its driving me mad

I've had the same monitor for a month now, coming from a decent enough 1440p / 165 hz IPS panel and the QD-OLED ultrawide is the most significant upgrade I've made in ages. Absolutely love it. Had a lot of trouble with my eyes the first week giving me headaches but that went away luckily.

Highly disagree. OLED's aren't for everyone. It's all subjective. If you live in a sunny part of the world, it'd be pretty dumb to go for an old gen OLED. They are nowhere near as bright as needed.
Sure, you can use chrtains, but who the hell wants to do that everytime to watch TV.

OLED's are just drastically superior. Just got a C2 last month. Blows away my QLED.
