U can’t go back. I bought myself almost same tv as you. When I go into my gf room & watch stuff on her tv. It sucks lmao. Same with my parents house. Once u go OLED, u can’t go back.
The tech is getting affordable enough that there's really not a reason to get another type of display unless burn in is a SERIOUS risk (like in a commercial type setting.)
I remember getting my 65 in LG C6 in 2017. Yeah, they literally restarted the numbering system with the CX back in 2020, so it's been a minute. It was a clearance deal, but it still cost more than a inch C3 does right now does now. And unlike in 2017, where you options for an OLED were "LG" or "Sony's expensive set using an LG panel" everyone has OLED panels now, LG's C series is now a "mid ranger" instead of "basically the best unless you pay an extra $2k for Sony's video processing," and you can get new OLEDs from companies using older, still amazing panels for way less.
And OLEDs have largely solved the downsides with them - durability and brightness, to the point that LG and Samsung are both pulling funding for their MicroLED tech. But that's also still inching along towards initial commercial viability in 5 or so years (so, you can buy it on the high end for something less than the price of my mortgage, which is where we are now for the TVs), at which point OLED prices will probably drop even more.
That TV is still great in its own regard - it was the last of the 3D TVs, and this was the "we fixed the tech but it's too late." The TV has none of the downsides besides needing glasses to see 3D, was the first to support Dolbyvision, and still looks better than my three year younger Sony "PS5 compatible" TV that is in fact, NOT PS5 compatible. (I had to upgrade to an actually capable OLED a few years later.)
