ROG Strix Pulsar XG27AQNGV vs Samsung Odyssey OLED G6

I need help deciding between these two monitors. I primarily play games like Warcraft 3 and LoL, with the occasional RPG or first-person shooter. I am sensitive to motion. I found both of these monitors open-box at Microcenter for about $360. Which one is best for motion clarity?

I tried the UFO test and Counterstrike on both, and I couldn't tell much of a difference. I'm wondering if Pulsar was not working properly.

Lastly, I do wonder if I even need either of these monitors for my use case since I have an RTX 5060. I heard the TCL 25G64 is really good and you can get it for $150.

The pulsar is a lot better for motion clarity and it should be obvious ( if it is switched on and working ).

I found out that GSync was off. It's now working, and I noticed a difference in the UFO test when it's on vs. off. It wasn't as much of a difference as I anticipated, but it's still a nice improvement.

OLED is nice but you need high frames for decent motion clarity, 240 fps minimum for me. If you care only about low blur even on lower frames then pulsar is much better, you can try ulmb2 on fixed refresh rate too, I heard it's crystal clear on 60 hz

I found the decision between 500 hz oled and pulsar very difficult, but what tipped it for me is the fact I can achieve 500fps most of the time for the games that I play, mainly fortnite but others, and that's good enough motion clarity for me to not be too bothered. So OLED: 500hz (higher than 360hz), I believe noticeably lower mouse to pixel latency (1ms vs. about an arguable 3 to 5ms), and much better contrast, than current Pulsar monitors. If I was down at 120 to 360 fps range I probably would have gone for a strobed TN panel for their lower mouse to pixel latency and to get a higher framerate (lower native resolution).
