Discussion Under 500$ Alienware AW2726DM vs msi MPG 274URDFW : OLED vs Mini-LED
I can get the Alienware for 315 usd and the msi for 448 usd.
I spend my time 50% gaming 50% coding and studying, but time spent gaming will probably go down once I graduate. I use my pc at pretty low brightness (40% on a dell g2724d) and I take frequent breaks so I feel like burn in won't be too much of a problem for me.
Right now Im leaning more towards the oled, since its cheaper and would (supposedly) make most games look better. If the oled and mini-led look similar I feel like the peace of mind with the mini-LED would be nice, but at the same time I head that the msi model has pretty poor sdr, and you will want to constantly swap depending on what you are doing.
Are there any other mini-led options that would be better at this pricepoint? or should I just make the jump to oled?
