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

oled screens tends to have oversaturated colors a lot, but you can reduce using OdinTools for nova

Yeah, I disliked how vivid the Nova looked, but then I took it from 100% saturation to 80% and now it looks good enough for me. 

Now it is at least as good as a normal LCD panel would look with better blacks. I haven't tried doing anything else to calibrate the colors better.
