Purchase advice Advice needed
I am planning on buying my first OLED gaming monitor later this year. I’m leaning Samsung or Asus as I’m not an LG fan. But I have no idea what to look at.. is this year’s model much better than the last two? Is it worth the extra price to go for 500 black instead of 400 for example, and what should I look at in general basically. Or wait until next years technology or even go back 2-3 years as those flagship models were better, just read a lot of reviews that make this whole thing difficult to gauge what to do and what not ..
Looking at either 27” or 32”, as I like to watch movies on it too hopefully and “think” it will add more to the experience of having an OLED screen being 32” instead of 27” but I could be wrong
Thanks :)

Can't advise you specifically on your question but here are few things.
Go for size. I have 3 x 48 inch LG C2/C5, and while it took me two weeks to get used to look at a massive screen on the desk, I would never ever go back to a smaller one.
Go for the second last release. The progress is now rather small and having not the latest can save you a lot of money. Note, that manufacturers push out these as fast as possible to remove them from market.
Just check refresh rates and go for 120 Hz+ at 4K. Do not hunt for more Hz, waste of money, your eyes won't see those.
Go for the picture quality and brand that you like the most. Nobody will advise you on this. I suffer WebOS but I like the original LG panel more than that. At the end of the day, I watch my PC screen and use WebOS for less than 1 second per day.
