I was just today reviewing some of my prints for an upcoming gallery show... and I have a couple observations...
I am a cinematographer in my day job, and I'm used to viewing images on backlit screens. At first glance they seem punchy and contrasty and full of life vs a paper print as they self illuminated.
But, today, looking at the prints from my old Epson, despite having a lower contrast ratio than an LCD display, the detail and color reproduction leave a far superior impression. Especially the color. Ok, there are some colors of red that I can't print as vividly as I can view them on a screen, but, overall, the print wins almost every time. And the impression of detail in the prints also won me over.
OLED displays can show much more contrast than LCD displays and deeper dark colors as well. But, in the end, may be a poor choice for still photograph display as they tend to burn in and also dim down when the image has too much white or near white in them. I think they would be a poor choice for a still image display device unless you are showing a slide show and not a single image.
And that's my 2 cents
And lastly, if you are in the Los Angeles area, please join me for the opening reception of my show, "Comrade Photographer". A collection of photographs from my travels in the former Soviet Union. I would love to meet any fellow LL fans!
