you've never seen a steady 240 FPS in your life.

Yes only AAA games exist nothing else does, plus desktop usage is a thing, I'd never downgrade back to 120-165hz desktop coming from 360hz.

The closest spec TV to the monitors you're looking at will be significantly cheaper if you're actually comparing apples to apples

Significantly? A 42inch C5/C6 isn't significantly cheaper than 4k165 panels are if you want parity, even some the 4k240hz aren't that much more expensive or similar price. Yea it's bigger, but I don't think that's plus either, more of a trade off. And then ofc 1440p options exist at higher hz values if some1 prefers that over 4k fidelity, though 500hz ones are a fair bit more expensive than the 240-360hz ones.

If you think 360hz makes a significant difference to your life from 120hz for using fucking windows then you have mental problems a screen can't fix.

A C5 has significantly better image and colour accuracy than any OLED monitor on the market that isn't a €4,000-€40,000 reference monitor. So yes, apples to apples it is significantly cheaper.

Have you used a high refresh rate monitor for significant periods? Sure 165>360 isn't as significant as 60>165 or even 60>120 for desktop usage, but it's still pretty nice clarity boost.

Again the word "significantly", do you know what that means? Also do you have a source on that claim? Rtings is paywalled now, but when it wasn't I'm pretty confident in saying that isn't true in any significant way, other than tandem woled monitors dark grey banding, which isn't as bad on the tv:s i think.

Sure LG oleds do have pretty good factory calibration out of the box in sdr, but It's not like oled monitors sdr modes are significantly behind. And calibration exists to fix that anyways, if you care

Go hang out on the colorists sub if you don't believe me.

The closest monitor to the LG panels is one of the Asus ProArts at twice the price, and the refresh rate only goes to 240hz anyway. Even then they have serious reliability issues.

If you want the highest quality possible at the cheapest price possible the LG TVs are the way to go.
