Aye, I owned both. Got an LCD when it first came out and bought an OLED when they came out. Treat yourself, in all situations of visual screens OLED is better.
Disagree on the oled thing. Oled is better in a lot of cases, specially if everything on the screen is constantly changing. However, for a computer that will be displaying the taskbar 70% of the time its not ok. Oled burn in is a thing
Auto hide the taskbar, burn your wallpaper instead. Oled burn is really is much less of an issue these days thanks to better panels and pixel shifting tech.
Is pixel shifting a thing on Linux? The Steam UI too?
Pixel shifting is done entirely on the monitors firmware nowadays, no OS intervention necessary.
Oh niiice. I wonder why Samsung still does AOD shifting on their Android roms then?
Phones usually don't do pixel shifting since they lack the extra pixels on the edge to shift the content around.
Oh, that's a lot of really cool info to know. Thanks!
