You have a shiny new system. For technical reasons, beyond anything Digital Foundry can explain, you are limited to:
A new TV, with beautiful OLED tech, however your shiny new system can only cap at 30 FPS.
Or
A new LCD TV, without fancy tech like mini-LED, however your system can output guaranteed 60 FPS.
What do you choose? Color Fidelity or FPS?

Love my OLEDs but if I had this ridiculous choice before me and no way out…come on.

A good LCD, even without mini-LED, is perfectly capable of displaying high fidelity, accurate colors, and decent enough contrast (upwards of 5000:1 even without mini-LED or even something as basic as backlit local dimming).
Give me the LCD any day.

60fps easily.
30fps on OLED is awful.

I am going to assume the OP does not have an OLED TV and hasn't seen the difference between 30fps and 60fps on one.

Ive had 1 OLED ever. That's the Switch OLED. Its really nice, but not nice enough to lose 60fps.

I would always pick performance over anything else
I'd do 480p 60fps before I did 1080p 30fps

I always choose quality mode anyway, so 30 fps is my default.

OLED looks too good to give it up.
I already play plenty of 30fps games on my OLED anyway. People saying it looks bad are exagerating.

OP, this will be a slaughter.
A better question would have been: OLED 60FPS vs No OLED 120FPS.

I'll take the worst TN-panel over 30 fps OLED

I hear about the problem with 30fps on an oled. I dont see it.
But it is an hard choice since I don't think 30fps ruins an game, an stable 30fps can even be better to play than an unstable 60.
but it depends on the type of game, fast game, 60fps. slow game RPG SRPG an such 30 is fine.

Easiest choice ever since 30fps on an OLED is hell.
I'd rather do 30fps non OLED than 30fps OLED.

60 all day every day. And no, a consistent 30 isn't ok.

I literally bought my OLED because Ratchet & Clank was doing something above 30fps that hadn't been done before (to my knowledge, anyway). And I'm someone who typically doesn't have an issue with 30fps.

I will never go back from OLED. Almost every game I play is 30 fps anyway. You get used to it really quickly.
