SDR-focused gaming is a compelling fit because the OLED’s fast motion, contrast and color matter even without spectacular HDR brightness.
Pros: value for money, panel type
Cons: brightness, port selection
SDR is the monitor's natural strength: smooth competitive action and solid sRGB color without HDR's disappointing contrast compromises.
Pros: competitive gaming suitability, stand adjustability
Cons: color gamut, contrast
Smooth motion, strong color and affordability make conventional SDR gaming the clearest reason to buy this monitor.
Pros: overall satisfaction, refresh rate
Cons: HDR performance, HDMI 2.1 support
Accurate, colorful SDR output and high brightness make standard dynamic range a stronger fit than HDR, especially when local dimming artifacts are avoided.
Pros: Resolution, refresh rate
Cons: HDR performance, contrast
Even without HDR, colorful OLED contrast and rapid response make games vivid and fluid. Some prefer the more predictable SDR modes to complicated HDR setup.
Pros: overall satisfaction, brightness
Cons: Dolby Vision support, VRR flicker
