True for really rubbish LCDs. There are though LCD and OLED panels with plain polished glossy glass hard to tell apart.
OLED (and eink) wins on viewing angle. Twenty years ago the LCD maximum viewing angle was poor. A simplified explanation is parallax error as the coloured filter is at an angle to edge of neighbouring pixel. But also the polarisers had a limited viewing angle. The
IPS panels were* a huge improvement. Panasonic, LG and Samsung have now more advanced panels than IPS. These more advanced panels (and Panasonic QLED which are LCD) have viewing angles nearly equal to eink and OLED. Most LCD phones, tablets and screens are using more than 15 year old LCD technology.
Move your head side to side and up and down at TV or monitor. Good LCD are as black as OLED in normal ambient light and will not shift in colour or contrast. If it's aphone to tablet tilt it. Poor ones will fail badly.
Obviously TCL on the Nxtpaper 11 isn't just using a matt tinted top layer but state of the art IPS because the viewing angle limits are fantastic.
EDIT
[* The Wikipedia IPS article is inaccurate and outdated. Also the date a technology existed is often unrelated to date the panels are in real products, the discrepancy is 1 to 5 years!]
