OLED and counter-strike 2 experience

Hi, all!
Week ago I decided to try my first OLED and bought Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 G60SD(360hz). I have been using before Acer XV272UX(240hz, IPS, 2k, 27). OLED speed was impressive for me, difference not so big after 240hz IPS, on 5-15% better in CS2, but one thing I found that I lost my confindence in the game and started to play worse

. I have 10 level faceit and 22k in premier, but after I started to play with OLED usually I was low tab )) what happened it's game feeling became strange, like sometimes I can do insane shots, but sometimes like bullets not register and hitboxes are broken, also I started to afraid 1on1 moments because just lost confidence can I kill or not, like game become random, from the first hour with IPS 240hz I saw that I started to shoot better and bullets like sticky to heads and cs models, but with OLED such a strange game feeling and shooting became random, I very like such impressive picture and already return OLED in the shop, but still thinking what was that, does it connected with pixels form on OLED or what ? And also pros looks like not use OLED, I connected it before with 27 inches and they usually prefer 24.5 benqs, does somebody have the same experience in CS2 ? I can play very confident with IPS with lower speed, but can not be so confident with my aim on OLED ))

How many matches did you play with the OLED roughly?
How many with the IPS panel after switching back?
Were there specifics times of the day that you won or lost more?
I'd say it's either two things:
1. You've somehow managed to connect to bad servers or servers containing high ping players whilst using OLED
2. Not getting used to OLED or the mega fast response times are just showing the flaws I guess?
Sadly, the source engine in particular I've found always does have a slight unpredicitability to it. When playing CS:GO in the past, I remember pouring an entire PP-bizon clip (64 bullets) into an enemy. The server registered it as 6 bullets, multiple blood decals on their head, got killed by them. I never played CS:GO again after that.
Even with Counter-Strike: Source the game is either 'easy' or next to impossible. I think this is just due to server compensating lag/delay depending on the ping of players and of course player skill etc.

I thought about this that may be I just need more time to get used to, but as I remember with IPS I had better results in first DM. Actully, is not about low tab more in usual matches, I played many DMs with OLED during two days, but unstable feeling was all that time. When I returned to my old IPS I immediately get the feel of confident and saw this sticky bullets again. I liked impressive OLED response and colors, and thinking about that I'll give a try later with some another 360hz or 500 OLED, but this thing confused me with CS, if somebody will tell me that you just need to play week and everything will be fine with OLED and I buy new earlier

( or you just need a week to get used to be noob with OLED

).

Take my words back about OLED.
I bought AOC AGON PRO AG276QZD2 and now everything is good in CS2 and it's better then my previous IPS 240hz QHD, despite Samsung was 360hz, I don't know what it was, but I'm really happy now with 240hz AOC AGON PRO AG276QZD2. P.S tftcentral review about this monitor show that this OLED has 0ms input lag, whereas any other OLEDs of their reviews have bigger input lag value, not much, but looks like AGON PRO AG276QZD2 the best in this terms right now, didn't find good reviews about other OLEDs 240hz panels, do not believe RTINGS methodolgy how they measure input latency, as for me tftcentral has the best reviews and highly recommend AG276QZD2 for CS2.
