I've got say - that's a pretty sweeping statement.
While I've never had the pleasure of working a BVM OLED (I did spend a week
on a PVM which I wouldn't recommend), I've seen my LCD-originated work in
many places. I've never had reason to believe that any problems I saw could
be traced back to the display technology of the reference monitor.
If the grade is wrong it's usually my fault, not the monitor's (FSI
LM-2461W).
The other thing to keep in mind about black levels... they are heavily
effected by the general ambient light level in a room. Direct viewing
displays shouldn't be used in a blacked out room (though that's how they
are always demo'ed) for prolonged periods... for reasons that include eye
strain.
The normal raised ambient light levels when grading on these displays
negate some (not all) of the OLED black-level advantage.
