I am thinking of making the shift from CRT to OLED for my consoles i.e. Genesis, NES, SNES, Xbox, PS2, N64 etc. I have a dedicated CRT but its in a spare room that requires being away from the rest of the home for dedicated game sessions. I have reached the point where pixel perfection means less than the convivence of playing some SNES or Genesis in my bedroom along side my modern games. I am also thinking of moving toward pedestal builds with a rotating OLED to replace some arcade machines and simplify my setup. I guess the last straw was the other day I lost a chassis on my StarGate cabaret machine. I am just tired of the continual worry something won't power on or may need work when I just want to play a quick game for 5 min. I am a CRT fan but I am ready for more simplicity and the new 2022 42" model size is perfect for a pedestal arcade build. The OLED videos I have seen look pretty darn good. Not CRT, but close enough for the added simplicity and lack of maintenance.
With that said, what is the best path forward. On the console side, I know the OSSC was held in high regards but its gotten long in the tooth coupled with the OSSC pro model being delayed due to supply chain woes. The Retrotink 5x seems to be solid but I honestly am so new to this I don't know. On the arcade side, I know the LG sets support both AMD and NVIDIA variable refresh technologies. For a MAME or Mister build which technology is preferred and what brand is recommended? All of my knowledge is on the analog side of builds so potentially going OLED is a new learn for me.
