One thing to consider is, do you do most of your gaming at night (in the dark) or during the day. OLED looks amazing in a dark room, but won't be as bright during day time compared to QLED.

33 ms input lag is fine for gaming, human reaction time is 250 ms for visual stimuli... Lower doesn't hurt though.

Reaction time has nothing to do with the perception of continuous motion. That's why it's easy for a trained eye to notice a difference between 5ms and 15ms. The difference between 33ms and 10ms is huge.

I notice the difference when I switch tvs playing GT Sport. I have to adjust my brake points and turn in points slightly, yet after a couple races I'm tuned in to the new display lag and just as fast as before, doesn't matter which way I switch. It also doesn't matter for reacting to sudden incidents, those extra 20 ms don't do anything for that. You tune in to the display lag, as long as it's not too high your brain will filter it out just like it matches up audio with visual stimuli up to a certain delay.

Display lag also has nothing to do with perception of motion, refresh rate, image retention, ghosting / motion clarity all have to do with that. Hence rtings is such a good site to check out tvs.
