I'm retarded?
My IPS monitor is showing its age, as Im noticing text retention for dekstop icons and whatnot, tho it gets fixed with any game, but clearly after 7+ years its starting to age just like myself. My second monitor is irrelevant however its 165hz and here is my huge dilemma. Im undecided between another IPS or just going for a qd-oled, however as I was looking at some reviews I noticed RTINGS added a new reviewing methodology as well as VRR flicker and it's a fucking big NOPE. So I went into this huge rabbit hole looking up specifically for VRR flicker and if I never bothered lookign that up, nobody would've said anything and I mean specifically paid youtubers and whatnot, but apparently there are a ton of complaints about this outside of the other issues with oled such as burn-in. I looked at most monitors from the table below and they show how bad the flicker is and it is honestly kinda annoying to me and now I am starting to rethink my decision about qd-oled and perhaps just go for a decent priced IPS and wait for a new tech?
Do you guys notice it with gsync? I need some genuine critical thoughts, not the "buy the most expensive and youre good" kind of stuff. I dont have a 5090 to afford max framerates, so obviously my frametimes will fluctuate when gaming which causes the vrr flicker, tho I heard one could limit FPS, which I generally do but wont fix it or disable G-sync entirely, which I'd rather not. I mentioned my second monitor is 165hz because Im also wondering if my main monitor being a different refresh rate, would there be any issues. I know there were some time ago with a specific windows update, but dunno if it was fixed or not.
