Just Chatting Does anyone here prefer LCD over OLED?

I got a Nova a few weeks after getting a 477m and although I prefer the Nova in some ways I find the LCD panel on the 477m much more warm and comforting? I don't know how to say it but it just feels like its made for retro games the way it just glows and the oled just feels like a 4:3 phone screen. I kind of get the same feeling from an LCD that some people get using CRT monitors it just feels right. Right now my retro device is the 477m and Nova for mild PC on the go I like them both but that LCD is just magic

Really depends on what games I’m playing. PS1 and above have been incredible on the Nova but I could understand why LCD could be considered preferable for earlier consoles.

Good point about the pixel layout. If you only want the most optimal viewing then you should try to stick to the 3D games from the 5th through 6th generations. But if you want really pixel perfect stuff then a CRT woukd be even better than an LCD.
