It's nice they're adressing brightness, I definitely fell the lack of punch at times when there's a lot of bright objects in an HDR scene, especially open world games the Sun just ends up not looking that bright because of Averge Picture Brightness control. But quick flashes like thunder look great!

That said I just finally bought my OLED on Black friday and I am a little bit disappointed I missed this advancement by a matter of a few months. Really wasnt expecting a new OLED panel right the next year after OLED EVO came to the market.

I wouldn't say that you have missed this by a few months. While OLED EX will be shown at CES, it will not be on the market next month. The full transition to OLED EX production will be in Q2 2022, which means that these screens will not be widely available for a while.

You can only ever buy what's available today. There will always be something better later. The same applies to CPUs, GPUs, and all other components.

Do also keep in mind that on top of this is logistics, pandemic and not to mention pricing.

I'd say enjoy your new TV for as long as it can possibly serve you, the money spent on this fresh new tech is something you will probably not notice after a while due to gotten used to it, but your wallet will probably feel a lot lighter after it ^_^
