Ips Memes

Two calico cats representing the display tech rivalry that keeps tech forums busy. IPS is your reliable workhorse with decent colors and viewing angles that won't betray you when you tilt your head. OLED is the flashy sibling with those perfect blacks and infinite contrast ratio that makes your wallet cry. Both get the job done, but OLED knows it looks better and isn't afraid to show off. The cats' matching patterns but different colorations pretty much nail the "same purpose, different approach" vibe. Also, good luck finding an affordable OLED monitor that doesn't burn-in after displaying your IDE's taskbar for 10,000 hours straight.

So you bought that fancy OLED monitor for the "infinite contrast" and "true blacks," thinking you'd be living your best life. Plot twist: after 5 years of staring at the same IDE layout, your OLED now has a permanent ghost of your text editor burned into the screen like a cursed tattoo. Meanwhile, your trusty IPS panel is sitting there looking fresh as day one, slightly washed out but ZERO burn-in drama. It's the monitor equivalent of choosing reliability over flashiness—like buying a Toyota instead of a Ferrari that needs repairs every month. Sure, the IPS doesn't have those chef's-kiss blacks, but at least it won't immortalize your VS Code sidebar into its very soul. The real tragedy? You paid premium price to essentially screen-print your taskbar onto a $1000+ display. Slow clap for that investment decision.
