    I am still debating on getting an OLED vs IPS display and I've seen most people get OLED and all the reviews are OLED. I'm not sure if QHD is for me since I have a Dell S2716DG gaming monitor (27" 1440p QHD) that I plan to use now and then as an external monitor. Bit worried OLED might be overkill and ruin how I look at my gaming monitor (first world problems).

    For those who got the FHD IPS how do you like the screen? There isn't much info about viewing angles, color accuracy and response time for example. I do like matte screens since most of the screens I own are matte with the exception of the two laptops I currently own. I am also kinda liking the plastic bezel since it look like it matches the rest of the system interior look instead of looking out of place.

    I think this decision making is hard since I can't see both screens in real life. If anyone has pictures of their FHD IPS model could you post them? I haven't seen much. I know it should look like the 15 and 17 but I feel like the bezels on those look a bit more outrageous scale wise compared to the 13.
