    I understand personal preference, but OLED IS inherently better. The power draw of IPS is massively higher than OLED because OLED has individual LEDs that can be turned on or off while IPS is an LCD, meaning it’s got a display AND an LED backlight that is on 24x7 to make anything on the screen visible. The “blacks being blacker” on OLED is just a consequence of this.

    Here’s an article going over the difference between the two.

      That isn’t better, it’s different. That’s a matter of preference, using your criteria, not an objective set of standards. I’m aware of how they’re different, and I’ve used both. I prefer ips, you prefer oled. Luckily, both exist, so we can both be happy :)

        If you prefer less vibrance and contrast on your displays, you can tweak your display settings to make the OLED pixels not fully turn off so that black areas look grey like they do on IPS.

        And no, ‘better’ isn’t a matter of preference, and it can indeed be quantified to an objective set of metrics such as contrast, brightness, response time, all of which are better on OLED. The only way that IPS wins is not burning in.

        So yes, in terms of visual fidelity, OLED is objectively better.
