Wouldn’t the latter give you lower input lag and better gameplay even though the frame rate is lower?

    Just went through the DF video again and here are the latency results for Doom Eternal specifically for 60 fps or lower.

    Ranking wise:

    OLED 60fps/60hz > LCD 60/60 = OLED 45/90 > OLED 40/80 > LCD 45/45 > LCD 40/40 = OLED 30/90 > LCD 30/60.

    There is a 0.2ms difference between LCD 60/60 and OLED 45/90 and 0.3ms difference between LCD 40/40 and OLED 30/90.

    Now, I did not play Doom Eternal specifically but I’ve been playing Batman: Arkham Knight on and off between 30 fps and 40 fps on the OLED and I have been wondering why 30 fps surprisingly feels pretty good.

    If the input lag numbers for that game is in the general ballpark for the input latency differences for Doom Eternal, that does make sense.

    It’s crazy that 30/90 on OLED feels as responsive as LCD 40/40 which has been long considered the “Golden 40”.

    If you look at the numbers for their Crysis 3 Remastered, OLED 30/90 actually has a 10% input latency reduction over LCD 40/40.

    I might just play 30/90 for all AAA games since it looks like at worst, it feels as good as the “Golden 40” of LCD Steam Deck but as is the case with Crysis 3 Remastered, OLED 30/90 actually feels better.
