480hz woled lg vs 280hz qd oled asus

480hz woled LG or 280hz qd oled Asus
they are in the same price range and i cant decide
which one gives me a better picture for gaming?
I have both here.

asus has nice gaming features and 280hz

lg has 480hz but I cant get 480fps in every game, does it even matter with vrr on oled?
Should I go for the LG 480Hz then?
my main games are now arc raiders or bf6
sometimes valorant

Tough call... Pros/Cons.

I'm partial to WOLED but I love QDOLED too.
- Quantum dots are noticeably better colors for a dark gaming cave.
- Quantum dots will keep colors very saturated when bright (no gamut clipping from the W);

But...I wanted to do Visual Studio too.
- WOLED is better for brighter rooms, because QDOLED has a glow effect with ambient lighting.
- WOLED is better for hybrid use including office, with fuller spectrum Microsoft Office whites, and less burnin from sustained desktop use.

About the refresh rate question:
For equal computerside/monitorside processing time, Higher Hz = faster frame transport. 480Hz has lower latency for 60fps. Each of those 60fps frames are blasted over the video cable in 1/480sec apiece. Also, higher Hz = more blur busting capability for low Hz if you use software-based blur busting. www.testufo.com/crt has more blur busting for 60fps when the original Hz is higher since software-based blurbusting ratio is native:simulated Hz.

thank you really much and what about vrr?
Does it matter whether the screen has a frequency of 480 Hz or 720 Hz when VRR is enabled? If I only achieve 200 fps.

Higher Hz reduces video cable transmission latency. Your 200fps frames transmit over the video cable in 1/480sec or 1/720sec respective. That being said, the time differential of (1/480)-(1/720) = 0.694ms = 694 microseconds. And since screen center is halftime, that would be half that - less than 0.35ms difference in frame transport latency.

Just having 480Hz improves your 200fps reasonably significantly over 240Hz, but the difference of 480 vs 720 will be extremely incremental.

Also, the move to having a VRR range bigger than your 0.1% worst/best frametimes, means you completely avoid the VRR range drawbacks like sudden latency at MaxHz (That we used to have to cap to avoid). So a ginormous VRR range bigger than your framerate range, means mostly compromises-free VRR in esports.

In addition, a very high MaxHz means extremely clear scrolling/panning in 2D software, as seen at www.blurbusters.com/120vs480 -- including silky smooth CRT-motion-clarity browser scrolling.

Either OLED will usually be a significant upgrade to a typical 144-240Hz LCD for esports.

The most common (potential) caveats you may run into for OLEDs will generally be:
- VRR flicker, which is minor enough that it only bothers some people. VRR also can be turned off too if you dislike it a lot;
- Quality during ambient lighting (not always a problem -- most esports LCDs were historically lower quality TN LCDs);
- Text clarity of odd pixel structures (just turn off ClearType);
