They’re both cats so either way you’re being judged in 4K. #cats #catsOfMastodon

@JackMexa4 @nowaynews
OLEDs can do blacker blacks and whiter whites

but they have issues like burn in if they show the same thing too much. some have modes that refresh all the pixels to help fix this though

then there is IPS, VA, and TN, which sacrifice more and more of that depth for greater refresh speed and wider viewing angles

there is no perfect monitor, some try to strike a balance, many are good at one thing at the cost of another, etc

I still love you IPS taps my monitor

@nowaynews needs a ¨plasma" unit, with dat sweet absolute black.

@nowaynews your ink cartridge is running out

but its cheaper to just buy another cat these days, so do that

@normjess I still have few RAM sticks left
@nowaynews you could sell it and buy a few thousand cats 😆
@nowaynews Ah dilute & full tortitude models 😻 all spice all the time 😻
@nowaynews Fun fact, there’s a single gene responsible for this difference, the dense pigment gene. The OLED appearance is dominant.
@nowaynews This is confusing me though. Does it mean TN instead of IPS? IPS is the one that is extremely colorful. If anything often too much...
@nazokiyoubinbou OLED has much darker blacks. (As far as I know)

@nowaynews Well, it depends on the exact implementation of the backlight. But yes, to some extent that can be true (though definitely not to this extreme!) But that's only one specific part of the three so it still threw me off because it's as if it's saying IPS is just all around duller and less saturated... IPS is actually very colorful. Sometimes tuned to be too much so if anything. TN panels, on the other hand, absolutely would qualify to be like the left cat compared to the right cat (even when compared to IPS.) There's a reason IPS suddenly made a comeback as everyone realized.

As far as backlights go, bleedthrough really depends on implementation. I have one IPS panel with really good blacks and barely any bleedthrough and I have one that's terrible.
