Oled vs zowie

Really over-discussed topic, I know, but this decision is extremely difficult for me. I can either spend a ton of money on a 360hz oled, or get a cheaper 400hz zowie used. I can also go even cheaper and get a 280hz zowie for almost nothing, but that would be the xl2540x+ (no dyac).

I am aware of all the OLED benefits but honestly other than colors and input delay i dont see it. I have never cared about how my game looks and dont think I’m going to start now, i basically only play fps (kovaaks, r6, apex, ow2) and have never once thought ”wow this dark corner isn’t black enough”…

With any of the zowie options on the other hand I would save money while still keeping most of the performance of the oled, without the fancy stuff thats exclusive for the panel type.

I’m not an aspiring pro or anything however I have a pretty high rank in the games I play and really only care about pure performance in my setup.

Any input? Anyone had a similar dilemma?

Basically I got really tired of my terrible curved va, 1080p 27” 240hz monitor and wanted a significant upgrade. I play fps games and am only looking for performance. I want to keep the price below 4000 sek, which was a difficult budget for me since it’s not quite oled range. It is however, within range for a 280hz zowie monitor (with dyac2) but I know how so many ”monitor experts” are extremely anti-zowie. My requirements are

•min 240hz

•max 27”

•res doesnt really matter just no 4k bs

•almost strictly for FPS gaming (dont enjoy story games, do school work on my laptop mostly)

What do you guys think? Is it worth to add a bit of money to the budget for a 240hz oled (wouldnt be a hz upgrade on paper even though it technically would if we factor in compliance)

edit: system specs 7800x3d, 5070, 32gb@6k

Complete beginner, landed on ordering from mok workshop and am now stuck between three different sets. Which one would be better for someone that just wants to get into the hobby, trying a bit of everything? Goodbye has the full sized picks, druid has an extra rake and bard is stacked with SIX hooks but only two TOK tension tools. Hard for me to pick, bard/druid would save me money on the set AND the shorter handles, but the goodbye set having long handles seems nice? Idk, completely new to this
