I have shifted from Moto G60 to G82. This is a shift from IPS screen of G60 to OLED of G82. I have noticed these:

1. The blacks are much darker on OLED.

2. 60 Hz refresh rate on IPS feels janky compared to OLED.

Nothing can beat OLED on black level comparison. Things might change in future.

OLED is the best panel out there for phones for now & higher refresh rate can be found on LCDs as well.

Enjoy

Actually it cant change in the future.
In Oleds, each individual pixels turn off to produce blacks, unlike other technologies where the rgb turns black and the brightness is adjusted. There cant be any more black than turning the pixel off completely.
Thats why their contrast ratio is infinity.

What we will have in the future in mini/micro leds which give slightly worse blacks than OLEDs but arent prone to burn in or durability issues like OLEDs have.

Oled is the better option to lcd always . Oled very expensive to replace once broken , ask me how I know . I have a Samsung s9 . It has a super amoled quad hd screen . No physical damage to screen at all but suffering from screen yellowing effect now and Samsung wants 11k to replace screen all inclusive .

I had Oneplus 3 for 5.8 years and didn't have any burn-in problem on it.
For mobile phones, burn ins aren't really a problem, but even if they are, it's not noticeable much. My op7pro has burn in for top right notification icons.

But for tv panels it would be much more noticeable especially those channel logos, news tickers that remain static all the time.

I think for tv, better to invest in mini led.

It depends, some phones it can be as high as 25k but some others it can be quite low compared to the value of the phone.

I was referring to TV.
For mobile no issues, as I use AMOLED panel of Realme X2 Pro

For a flagship like S9, 11k is not too much for genuine part. Check how much iPhone X or 11 pro display costs to put stuff in perspective, heard it is $250-300 (Indian prices might be 20k).

11 K for a flagship genuine display feels normal. But as we replace the display after the phone has depreciated, it feels more.

Definitely. I personally feel 50k+ phones are mostly not worth it, partly because of SoC. Displays are almost as good as they can get these days with 120Hz 10bit AMOLED, VRR on flagship phones just help a bit with battery life.
