• OLED: Best picture quality with true blacks and great for dark rooms, but expensive and less bright.
• QLED: Bright and vibrant, ideal for well-lit rooms, more affordable, but blacks are not as deep.
• Mini-LED: Balanced option with better contrast than QLED, high brightness, and more affordable than OLED.

Choose OLED for dark-room viewing, QLED for bright rooms and budget, and Mini-LED for overall value.

While your recommendations are generally correct the post also demonstrates you have no idea what QLED and mini-LED actually are. They are NOT competing technologies and most mid to high end QLED sets will also have mini-LED backlighting. Mini-LED is the type of backlighting of the LED display and QLED means the actual LEDs have quantum dots for wider color gamuts. Manufacturers use both together to increase gamut range AND increase brightness.


OLED has an advantage in black levels though with the use of smaller local dimming areas using mini-LEDs the advantage had become much lower. QLED with mini-LED backlighting has a huge advantage in brightness which gives it a significant advantage when displaying HDR content. Many studios are moving from mixing at 1000 nits levels to 4000 nits levels making brightness more important than ever and no OLED panels can get near those levels.

OLED still has an advantage in blacked out rooms but almost no one uses a TV in a true Batcave they almost always have projectors. Unless you prioritize black levels over everything else dollar for dollar most people will prefer a QLED TV using mini-LEDs in a family room over OLED. We still have one OLED set in the house and it is in the bedroom where it is almost always viewed in near darkness.


OLEDs arc reminds me of the plasma days. Plasma died as a mainstream display tech (I still have a Pioneer Kuro in my shop) when they could not make 4k plasma panels. OLED is on the same trajectory unless they can solve the brightness limitations of an emissive display.
