Nice, didn't know that

Honestly, I’d probably steer clear of OLED if ur worried about the budget or long-term value - those things are super pricey and the burn-in risk on static RPG UI elements is still a bit sketchy tbh. Like, you get the deep blacks, but for the price of one OLED, you could basically get a top-tier Mini-LED setup and have cash left over. I’d just look at anything from Samsung or maybe a high-end Dell that uses a panel with decent local dimming zones. You get way higher peak nits - which makes those Cyberpunk neon lights pop way more than a standard IPS - and you dont have to baby the screen as much. Just go with a big name brand and you basically cant go wrong. It’s a way more practical direction to head in if you want that immersion without nuking ur wallet.

I've been through a few ultrawides lately and honestly, one thing people forget to mention is the panel lottery and VRR flicker. I used to chase the highest peak brightness for HDR in games like Elden Ring, but I ended up with a unit that had insane backlight bleed in the corners. It totally ruined the dark dungeons for me. If you are looking at these high-end curved panels, just be careful about quality control. I spent weeks rma-ing a screen because the scanlines at high refresh rates were driving me nuts. It doesnt matter how good the blacks are if you get flicker every time the frame rate drops in a busy area like Night City. My advice is basically just check the return policy of wherever you buy. I learned the hard way that sometimes the best specs on paper turn into a headache if the manufacturers quality control is lazy. It sucks when you just want to play but end up staring at technical flaws instead...

TL;DR: Prioritize long-term reliability over flashy specs so you can actually enjoy those long RPG sessions without worrying about your hardware. Honestly, I went through a bit of a nightmare with a high-end display a while back that had all these wierd panel issues after only a few months. It realy killed the mood for me because I spent more time checking for faults than actually playing. I eventually swapped to a setup that prioritized stability and build quality over the absolute latest tech. Tbh, when youre diving into something as long as Elden Ring, the last thing you want is to be paranoid about your screen. I love that I can leave my current setup on for hours with a bright HUD and not have to worry about a thing. It might not have the perfect specs on paper, but having something that is basically bulletproof and has zero dead pixels after years of use is a huge win for immersion. You want to be thinking about the game world, not whether your hardware is slowly dying on you.
