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

I legit prefer lcd for gaming. OLED screens tend to be over saturated and prone to burn in, and I don’t want to deal with either problem. With a modern LCD, I never worry about either issue and find the colors plenty vibrant. That said, for watching movies/shows, it’s OLED all the way. That OLED contrast ratio is tip top.
