This is a very subjective question. I guess it depends on how important gaming is to your lifestyle. Is gaming just a hobby to spend some time, or is it your highest priority, and everything else in your life is in service to gaming? That second one is kind of the extreme, but maybe you can see my point. The OLED is, while yet unproven, very likely to be a considerably more enjoyable experience than the LCD. That said tons of people have gotten tremendous enjoyment out of the LCD deck since its release. Maybe you’d prefer to spend less on gaming, and more on other things, like “other purchases, or eating out.” No one knows your personal priorities except you.

To speak to your specific question about OLED screens having never experienced them. This is also a tremendously subjective topic. My personal experience was that I honestly couldn’t really tell the difference when I was younger and didn’t sit still long enough to appreciate experience (early to mid twenties), but now that I’m in my early thirties and things are slowing down a little bit for me, I think it makes all the difference in the world. I now avoid using LCDs like the plague. I also have considerably more disposable income than I did before, so I don’t mind spending several times more on monitors, headphones, chairs, etc. than I did when I was younger. Like I said, completely subjective.
