How to choose

OLED gives true blacks and high contrast, which suits dark games and CRT-style filters. Like OLED phones, the panels can keep a faint image of static elements after long use, so vary what you play. Compare resolution and screen shape too: OLED panels in handhelds are often 16:9, which leaves side borders on 4:3 retro games.
