OLED vs Mini-LED
OLED wins on contrast (infinite), response time (near-zero), viewing angles. Mini-LED wins on brightness (2,000+ nits), longevity (no burn-in), and price.
Burn-In Reality
Modern OLEDs with pixel shift and heatsinks: most users won't see burn-in within 3-5 years of normal gaming.
Verdict
LG 32GS95UE overall best. Samsung Neo G8 for bright rooms. Gigabyte M28U for value.
