It all depends on where you live OP, and how bright your gaming area/lounge room is.
On a sunny day - HDR on current OLED's wont be great. HDR will be a big part of gaming going forward so i classify it as a priority. If you care alot about the HDR brightness, i'd avoid current OLED's (maybe in 2-3 years they will be much better but atm we're stuck around the 700Nits area, which is very average compared to modern QLED's).
Unfortunately only LG OLED's (CX, C1, G1 and GX ) tick all the boxes atm for gaming - esp vrr (at 4k 120 FPS). If you dont need VRR at 120fp, you can look at the models below the CX.
On the other hand you've got cheaper QLED's form Samsung and OLED's from Sony - and i think both current lineup's lack VRR. Sony made a kafuffle with VRR and its still not out for the flagships so something weird is going on there.
The Sony A80j and A90j are cream of the crop from Sony's side. Mind you Sony's have better motion clarity than the LG's. They also cost more than the LG's but there's no VRR *yet*. Its a hot topic atm.
With Samsung panels, you get the brightness but the black level (which provides clarity and contrast) is noticeably 1 level below the OLED's. For example the new QN90a. Samsung also has bad panel lottery atm and their build quality is arguably 1 notch below the other's.
Good luck - and use rtings to look up panels, check all reviews thoroughly before choosing the best panel for you mate.
