I currently have FHD 15.6" IPS 60HZ 20ms SDR laptop monitor for my Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54 and FHD 6.6" Super AMOLED 120HZ 8ms SDR phone display for my Samsung Galaxy A34 5G. I'm looking to get an external desktop monitor for my gaming laptop, but I don't know if I should settle for IPS or OLED. I know that going from IPS to IPS isn't significant, but laptop monitors are vastly inferior to phone, tablet, desktop, and television displays. Ok well, television displays are only superior in fidelity but performance is garbage to compensate for them being cheap lol.
Since OLED has superior color accuracy, contrast, saturation, etc., I don't give a damn if it's HDR or not. I want the monitor to be FHD 240HZ Curved 1ms GSync/FreeSync 24"; I can settle for 180HZ and 5ms though. Since my HDMI port doesn't support beyond 144HZ for QHD nor above 60HZ for 4K, I'll pass on those when I can upscale with DSR anyways. Sadly, my laptop doesn't have DisplayPort for the dGPU (only for iGPU) and I'm not sure if I can even use my USB-C 3.1 port for external monitors. I probably can but the refresh rates will probably be worse than HDMI, which I don't know for sure but I suspect it's 2.0.
