IPS vs. OLED

IPS is more common in modern devices and cheaper for the manufacturer. But when deviating from the perpendicular, the screen loses color brightness.

OLED leads the way in blacks, consumes less battery and is thinner than the competition. However, flicker is inherent in this type. Only at the highest screen brightness can this drawback be eliminated.

IPS screens provide more natural color reproduction, OLED sins with bright, acidic shades. The best manufacturers can solve these shortcomings with additional settings.

OLED matrices face the problem of screen burn-in, that is, the most active sensors cannot quickly go out. There is no such effect in IPS.
