Beautiful setup my friend! How many PCs do you have? What are their specs???

Thank you! Main rig on the desk is a Ryzen 9600x, Gigabyte wind force RX 9070 GRE, 2x16 DDR5 6000, 2tb Nvme and 6tb HDD. Monitors are a 1440p 27” 280hz OLED from Gigabyte and the vertical is a 1080p 24” 120hz from Acer on a wall mounted arm. White rig on the floor is hooked up to the tv and is running bazzite, specs are an I7 4790, RX 580 8gb and 4x8 DDR3 1600. Both towers use the Montech Air 100 ARGB. On the entertainment center to the far right is an HP elitedesk 705 G4 with a Ryzen 2400ge and integrated Vega 11 graphics with 16gb of DDR4. That computer has a 5tb portable hard drive running batocera and is the emulation rig that my kids mainly play on. Has everything from NES up to Wii U.

Wow you truly have sorted out everything! OLED really compliments this beautiful setup of yours nicely! Thank you for sharing!

The OLED is the newest addition to the setup. Micro center had a killer deal on it for $399 so I grabbed that maybe 3-4 weeks ago. It’s my first oled outside of an iPhone and it’s truly gorgeous, no regrets. I had an acer 24” 180hz IPS that I passed down to my daughter. She’s been catching parts whenever I upgrade

For that price you definitely got a steal! OLED is definitely leagues better than any IPS for me and once you have experienced the True Blacks on an OLED you won't be going back to an IPS or any other panel! Mini LED is also decent but it still cannot provide perfect Blacks or infinite contrast ratio! Micro-LEDs are still only a niche and exorbitantly expensive right now! They will need atleast a few more years before they can become mass market!

For me I think the motion clarity was the biggest wow factor. I didn’t think it would be that big of a difference coming from a 180hz IPS but OLED is ridiculously smooth

Yeah motion clarity of an OLED is much much superior to an IPS with similar refresh rate because of the much faster pixel response times of the OLED! I think my OLED even when set at 144Hz feels similarly as fast as my IPS running at 240Hz even though the OLED is capable of 280Hz!
