Newer IPS screens actually managed to close the gap almost entirely, to the point where I personally prefer them over most OLED screens. And I used to be a huge OLED fan.
You’ll probably never get pure blacks on a non-OLED display, but good LCDs nowadays are so close you’ll only notice the difference in a completely dark room. Which I think is more than good enough, considering potential OLED issues that never happen on LCDs.
Also, fuck LG.
Aren’t oled screens still very bad for people with sensitive eyes due to pulse width modulation?
Basically all IPS displays use pwm as well. Good panels use higher frequencies so they’re harder to notice. But it’s not the rule.
I like the last line, they can get bent.
I use a ten year old photography monitor, it’s calibrated, and it’s good for everything I use it for.
Don’t I know it!
The cat’s response time is much faster with “IPSpspsps”
Just touch a plastic bag or a metal can. I swear, my cats have a speed force connection. And one i suspect is Thawn…he mocks me.
“It was ME, Barry! I shredded the arm of the couch, I knocked the takeout off the counter while you were in the bathroom. I slipped through a seam in the wall to throw up in your slippers inside the closet! It was all ME!”
You have used some truely awful IPS screens buddy. OLED is nicer but not that much nicer.
And why are those cats not being pet? Pet them you monster.

Oh yes. Yes I have. Absolutely.
“Profound regret” is an exaggeration, but not by much. Looked fine in the carefully lit showroom. Wasn’t fine at all.
OLED is nicer but not that much nicer.
If you saw my laptop next to an OLED laptop in my house, you’ll eat these words. The difference is more stark than in the cat photo.

I feel seen right now.
You’ll say that right up until you have one right next to the other on the same desk. That’s what I have on my workstation at home, and my (admittedly, rather high end) OLED panel makes the IPS monitor look like cheap newsprint by comparison.
Might be an exaggeration, sure, but the contrast difference between OLED and IPS are very real
My phone and PC monitor are IPS and they certainly don’t look washed out compared to my OLED TV. Blacks are just slightly grayer. It’s really only even noticeable side by side.
Blacks are only lighter because the backlight bleeds through, but it’s very noticeable in a dark room
True.
But OLED cat has a way faster metabolism, you will see it on your cat food bill. And older OLED cats are known to develop a greenish tint.
Define “older”. My 5-year-old LG C1 still looks brand new with no signs of tinting nor burn-in. I even turned off all the pixel protection features in the service menu (TPC & GSR) the same day the 1 year warranty expired because it kept annoying me from dinning the picture too much.
I also used a Kenwood head unit with an early OLED display from 2005 until I retired it I In the late 2010s because it obviously didn’t have Android Auto…hell, it didn’t even have Bluetooth, but it had satellite radio… Our priorities were different then; point I’m making is that it never showed signs of burn-in either, and it had one of the first OLED displays to hit the market. (FWIW I did utilize the burn-in prevention features on the radio).
Honestly this whole “OLEDs wear out” thing is way overblown.
My pixel 9a started developing noticeable burn in within 6 months.
She is green for an amazing reason
Stop petting your cat while harvesting!
Where’s Plasma?
TVs don’t really need windows, so most basic window managment is typically more than sufficient. Where even then, XFCE is genuinelly amazing, KDE is heavier than it’s benefits imo
We have to go and visit the penguin.
Gnome out here wishing it had a cat.
crt cat is better
Lying in a sunbeam
Yeah getting nice and toasty
I would accept TN Vs IPS, but not that
TN really depends on the panel, a good TN rivals IPS without all the defects IPS brings.
OLED has its own problems too, it’s bizarre how we havent solved screens yet. Maybe MiniLED will triumph?
all the defects
Are there more than the backlight bleed?
Image persistence also. I can get the IPS panel on my Thinkpad to display a ghost of an image on what’s supposed to be black space for upwards of a minute if I use the particular band of colors it seems to hate.
Yikes, that does sound bad.
Well there’s other downsides to it, but IPS glow is it’s only defect.
Severe enough that it renders the monitor unusable. Even if you win the “IPS lottery”, there’s still some and I can’t understand willingly buying something that looks broken. TN is definitely king still, even with the worse viewing angles, but like who uses their monitor from 45 degrees.
Fuck it! I’m going back to an electron gun with magnets in a vacuum!
I mean, I really don’t notice it with regular use, though my monitor is an IPS Black one, so might be less bad. And I definitely notice discoloration on TN panels given how close I am to my monitor =P
As a person using IPS, I can confirm these cats look the same /j
