Completely disagree. The OLED is better is almost every way. Just go and look at the long laundry list of significant improvements they made with that model.
I’m not going to list them all. But the most important items are significant battery life improvement through both a larger battery and more efficient processor, slight increase in performance due to faster RAM, 90Hz vs. 60, and significantly brighter screen for outdoor use.
And most of these won’t make a difference for most people.
With the current promo the OLED is almost twice the price.
A little better screen and battery are nice, but performance is basically the same, it’s within an error margin most of the time.
And 90Hz screen doesn’t matter that much when 40FPS limit is preferable most of the time to keep the frametimes stable.
It has slightly different internal and external form factors in … basically only esoteric ways that only come into play if you are doing certain kinds of physical mods or upgrades to it.
But yeah, the actual internal performance specs are the same, same chip, same shared RAM amount…
I think maybe the battery might have gotten a slight upgrade, either that or the power delivery / management may have gotten a slight upgrade / tweak, but I am not 100% sure about that.
A very minor one, but only in a roundablut way. Valve weren’t targeting a performance boost, but a battery increase. They went for a newer generation of their processor with roughly the same processing power and slightly more efficiency.
The thing is, because of the added efficiency it can sustain high loads without throttling for longer. Between that and the minute differences in processing power, it happens to have a tiny bit of a performance boost, but it’s very very minor.
Over OLED? Probably not, but LCD is perfectly fine.
Unless you really care about OLED and slightly better battery, then a much cheaper LCD is a good choice.

Such as (except the screen)?

They are not a little better, they are both a lot better.
That depends entirely on what games you’re running. Most of the games I play will easily run at locked 90FPS.
Oh the OLED doesn’t have any performance boost?
As I understand it, it’s the same engine under the hood, you’re paying for better screen quality and a slightly longer battery life.

Not really. You can sometimes see a minor boost in some games, but nothing worth the price difference.
