You'll say that right up until you have one right next to the other on the same desk. That's what I have on my workstation at home, and my (admittedly, rather high end) OLED panel makes the IPS monitor look like cheap newsprint by comparison.

I changed from an IPS screen to a nearly identical OLED. I switched them back after a couple months of using the OLED and holy smokes the IPS was so much worse than I remember! I swapped them because I wasn’t happy with the OLED, turns out I was misremembering how good the old screen was.

I have 2 IPS monitors, and the older, cheaper one is much better than the other. so it's not just the IPS-OLED difference.

Might be an exaggeration, sure, but the contrast difference between OLED and IPS are very real

My phone and PC monitor are IPS and they certainly don't look washed out compared to my OLED TV. Blacks are just slightly grayer. It's really only even noticeable side by side.

Blacks are only lighter because the backlight bleeds through, but it's very noticeable in a dark room

You have used some truely awful IPS screens buddy.

Oh yes. Yes I have. Absolutely.

"Profound regret" is an exaggeration, but not by much. Looked fine in the carefully lit showroom. Wasn't fine at all.

OLED is nicer but not that much nicer.

If you saw my laptop next to an OLED laptop in my house, you'll eat these words. The difference is more stark than in the cat photo.
