coming to the conclusion that the monitor I use might be really bad for gaming
@zero really though it's a low end IPS panel and if the game gets even slightly dark I can't see shit anymore. Trying to up the brightness just makes the entire scene washed out

@RustyCrab @zero ips LCD panels are not that good for competitive type gaming. Amazing color and viewing angles, and usually better contrast too in my experience. Just bad latency. You notice it less if it is high refresh rate. TN is superior latency, VA is a good mix of both. IPS panels are about to get a lot better because of Nvidia's upcoming Pulsar tech.

OLED is superior in pretty much every way to all of these except for the VRR flickering. Burn in is a non issue now really.

You've probably done this already but make sure your monitor is set to use full dynamic range (0-255) instead of limited (16-235). Might help with your black levels there. Also, disable hdr in games because there is a pretty high likelihood your monitor doesn't have great hdr support and it'll just leave the image looking super washed out.

@zero @beardalaxy I went to microcenter to shop for an OLED and every single model had visible burn in. The ones running demos had extremely visible permanent logos hard baked into every corner. Absolute parody of a technology

@RustyCrab @zero oh, maybe it could be an issue with hdr being too bright for them, so that leads to burn in. I don't think the switch oled has hdr support at all so that would make sense.
