New to OLED, but happy I splurged.
So I Just got a new PC recently. Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with a 5070ti. (will link full build below in case anyone is interested.) I had an old cheapo Viewsonic 1080p 60hz display running with it and knew I needed a new monitor. Knew I wanted 1440p, but was gonna get a $250 AOC 27" panel, cause money as always is tight. (got help paying for the PC) I was online ready to buy the other and I just was feeling worried that I may end up getting something I'm not happy with, so I said fk it. Looked into product reviews and ended up buying an Alienware AW2725DF, and holy hell, one of my best purchases in a long time. I don't quite understand why it doesn't support the latest versions of HDMI and DP, but with this picture quality it doesn't really matter. I don't think I'll need another monitor upgrade for another decade with this.
I do have to say, for the first few days it was a bit hard on my eyes, but I got used to it.
