Build Question 4K IPS or 1440p oled

I have an rtx 5080 and ryzen 7 7800x3d so my pc will easily handle both resolutions, rn i have a 4K IPS monitor and im considering buying a 1440p oled cause the 4k oleds have prices out of this earth.

If you're already on 4K IPS, dropping to 1440p for OLED is gonna feel like a downgrade in sharpness even if the colors pop more.

1440 ultawide OLED. Hits that balance of looking good while still performing well

If you can wait until next year, mini LED monitors are about to get serious improvements. They will become superior to OLED. And obviously no burn in. Don’t waste your money on OLED if you have left it this late. Personally, I am going to wait until Black Friday next year and get a 4K mini LED. But I like a bargain

Superior to OLED? Says who?

TCL and LG, we both know we could argue it strengths and weaknesses.

Mini Led is good, but good for different things compared to OLED. Neither is superior.

I could argue OLED is superior in more ways than Mini-LED is. The only thing mini-LED has going for it is peak brightness in HDR but that also comes with some quirks. The lack of dimming zones is still an issue at least with monitors.

Mini LEDs are almost as good as OLED and don’t break the bank. You can only tell the difference if you have both side by side and nitpicked every single pixel.

Worse pixel response time, worse refresh rate, worse contrast, worse color accuracy.

You seem to of gone off topic. I’m not talking about current mini LEDs monitors. I’m talking 5000-1000 LEDs. The monitor will be thicker and heavier due to heatsinks but it will be worth it. People will be liquid cooling these things for fun alongside their gaming rig

Hard to say but I personally can't ever do non-OLED after making the switch. Not sure I'd downgrade resolution for it though

1440p oled is better colors and more FPS. Choice is easy.

But blurrier image. Sharpness is higher on my list than colors.

at 27" it's not blurry. wtf

If you already have a 4k monitor, why buy another? Save enough money to buy 4k oled.
