For phones, I prefer an LED. Better blacks and looks good, especially when used at night.
For work laptops and displays, I prefer LCD that are matte. Less reflection, usually cheaper in price, and no harm in it displaying a static image for extended number of hours everyday.
Definitely! OLED is unusable for me because it has really bad PWM flickering. The majority of people can't see the screen flashing on and off like a strobe light, but many of us have eyes that do see the flashing, and it's awful.
I can't wait until a new display technology gets popular that doesn't use Pulse Width Modulation
This sort of flickering can be really noticeable especially at low brightness, with the always-on display for example (although still nowhere near as bad as 60hz CRT flicker *shudders*)
But I honestly do not believe thet you're able to see 4000+ hz flickering. If you genuinely can, I'm sure you could get a world record for that.
I've had both LCD monitors and OLED monitors and I'd say in terms of preference I prefer OLED. I'm an artist, so while I do mind the decrease in brightness compared to LCDs, after getting accustomed it's a small price to pay for the higher contrast and colour accuracy!
The price difference does not make it matter or make me care. Once OLED gets cheap enough to be priced similar to LCD, my opinion will definitely change to OLED being much better.
I've used OLED on phones (my current, free because cracked screen) and like the idea* but considering I have a super-budget desktop (old stuff, unlikely to upgrade) and keeping it mostly to free/old content I'll stick to whatever low-tier 1080p displays are already in my home.
Maybe OLED multi-touch if it wasn't an upsell and niche market, so realistically when you add in burn-in fear it's either I get some second-hand laptop/tablet that has it (with a bad/no battery) or some new manufacturing tech solves it (either way, probably not for me in the next 10 years).
It might make more sense for VR immersion, though again between cost and specs (cost again) plus whatever lock-in nonsense (which I already saw of the oculus stuff with a family member who likely won't ever unlock dev mode) probably not for me.
* particularly for the contrast ratio (off pixels), though unless you're into horror stuff this seems like a bit of a gimmick (even space content is not a guaranteed fit). It's either that or making my own OLED edits of movies, which I find unlikely to work well via a blind edit (as I don't expect a script to be perfect).
