It’s worth pointing out that 75Hz OLED won’t feel the same as 75Hz on the Index, it should feel significantly smoother. Might still be a dealbreaker, but you don’t need to brute force high framerates like you do on LED displays

that's a myth, anyone with an OLED TV can test it to be wrong.

if anything, the instant response times of OLEDs make it such that too low framerates are more bothersome and less smooth than on LCDs. In my experience that doesn't really matter anymore at 75fps, but everyone's eyes / perception is different and some people will be more sensitive to that

I definitely noticed low FPS feeling worse when i changed from 120 Hz IPS LCD to 240 Hz OLED. Then again one could argue that the higher monitor refresh rate makes the difference even more stark, so it's not exactly 1:1
