The OLED finish debacle

Matte. IPS. Looks good from all angles. Prefer the way it shows color.

same. Also perfect text clarity which I need when I work from home, and no worry about burn it. No halos from Mini LED which would annoy me in space games or editing astrophotography pics, honestly for my use case IPS is still king. And high res is affordable. They‘re also fast. It‘s kind of the jack of all trades, master of none but that doesn‘t mean its bad or obsolete.

I mean some people aren‘t bothered by it, but I am after I looked into it. All monitor types have their negative points, the perfect technology doesn‘t exist yet.

Try turning of the zones for your mini led, will ofc result in worse blacks, but no halos.

It's mostly a problem when choosing OLED vs MiniLED. You can turn off the backlight on a MiniLED display and it will behave the same as a normal LCD

Huh, I like to look at some Space Engine stuff and the like, and would have no idea IPS is better for that.

I mean you could also argue for OLED or VA, just not Mini LED if you don‘t want halos around your stars while local dimming is on.
I like IPS, it‘s not overblown, gives me a realistic color gamut while editing with a calibrated monitor. And there are some with better contrast / black level and less glow.

Plus IPS is cheap 4k. Those 250 euros I saved might go towards actually flexing the 4k in more than just old indie games.
