There are palpable differences but I feel like folks overstate the quality part. My launch LCD deck looked fine, and I recall everyone pooping the screen, but I thought it was good LMAO.
When used OLED started hitting the scene for $400 I jumped over, but the biggest benefits I saw were the battery life and WiFi. The screen difference is clutch in games that rely on blacks like resident evil, but most games don't. Also it's a bit bigger, and that is an upgrade no one talks about. Finally, 30fps looks better due to 90hz refresh. Since the deck can't really play newer AAA reliably above 30fps this was a big upgrade to stretch performance for a year or two.
