Higher refresh (180–360 Hz) means smoother motion and lower input lag. Competitive FPS players gain most from 240 Hz and up; 144–180 Hz is plenty for most genres.
OLED's ~0.03 ms response effectively eliminates smearing, so even a mid-refresh OLED looks sharper in motion than a fast LCD.
QD-OLED tends toward richer color and slightly higher full-screen brightness; WOLED can render text subpixels more cleanly. Both deliver true blacks.
OLEDs use pixel-shift and panel-refresh routines to mitigate burn-in, and gaming models now ship with multi-year burn-in warranties. Vary content and hide static bars for peace of mind.
FreeSync and G-Sync compatibility remove tearing by matching the refresh rate to your GPU — standard on every pick here.
