I'm still not convinced about the brilliance of OLED gaming monitors, is this a me issue or an OLED issue?

This month I have been mostly testing... handhelds and laptops: I've been going mobile with my gaming recently, checking out new handhelds, with new chips inside, and shiny new laptops, too. The OneXPlayer 2 Pro wasn't super-exciting, but I've also got the Meteor Lake-powered OneXPlayer X1 in my hands and that's far more interesting. As is the gorgeously svelte HP Omen Transcend 14 gaming laptop. It sure is purty.

OLED gaming monitors are the future, right? So, why am I still so unconvinced by their brilliance when it comes to big boi PC screens? The 13-inch OLED in my Razer Blade Stealth 13 has always impressed me with its colour and vibrancy, and I've been messing around with OLED TVs long enough to be convinced of its efficacy as a screen technology. But when it comes to gaming monitors there has still been nothing I've used which has made me desperate to make the switch on my desktop.
