> Still, I get your point - there's compromises in all technologies...
That's not my point. My point is that there are well-made devices that are substantially better than average, and poorly-made devices that are substantially worse than average.
People seem to think that OLED automatically means instant switching times and no color smearing... well, that all depends on how the panel is made and driven.
> The Nexus 5 is 12 years old...
Ah, crap. I meant to say "Pixel 5a". I do that all the damn time. I do wish they'd never changed the name.
> I'd suggest comparing technologies applied in monitors that aren't teenagers.
Fun fact #1: The Pixel 5a was released three years ago.
Fun fact #2: The OLED version of the Nexus S (now fifteen years old) had no smearing. It was a beautiful display. Its only problem was that it burned in the top status bar within a year or so of use.
Tech improvement isn't a ratchet. (If it were, we'd not have had that it-sure-as-hell-seemed-like-five year period where pretty much the only LCD screens you could get were "high definition" 1080p TN displays!)
