I've never seen someone try so hard to justify their bad purchase before. Sounds like someone is in denial and the world only revolves around them and their personal tastes & choices.
HDR is a "gimmick"? Pretty sure RGB's on the BACK of a TV is more of a gimmick. Try playing an HDR game for 20+ hours, then play it on SDR mode. You'll instantly notice how devoid of life of the SDR version of the game is. If you don't then something is physically wrong with your vision. The rest of the world including professional TV & monitor reviewers can attest to that. Almost every single big-budget game that has come out for years is now HDR. I bet it's going to be damn near 100% when next-gen consoles hit.
If having the most frame-rate is the most important thing to you, then you should be playing on some 23" TN 300hz+ panel and not an OLED. In fact, you should just get an old 1990's CRT monitor and be done with it. Don't forget to lower all your in-game settings to LOW to get the maximum frame-rate
This is one of the more enthusiast-level PC gaming hardware forums. Don't you think it's a bit strange that this thread has 3x the amount of replies for a product THAT ISN'T EVEN OUT YET than the Alienware 55" thread when that product has been out for like 6+ months?
There's pros & cons to both products. We're all grown adults to know that. Most people opted not to spend 2x on the Alienware that was already outdated the day it was released. Technically the LG's are superior to the Alienware in every single way, it's just Nvidia/AMD fault for not having HDMI 2.1 GPU's yet to use the TV to its full potential. Most people here are patient enough to wait.
