Best TV for bright room and sports. QLED or OLED?

We have some large windows in our living room and it’s pretty bright during the day.
Sports and movies.
Which should we go for, OLED or QLED? Will be a 75” and I’ll for sure check out rtings.

I used Rtings when I was looking for a TV in a similar setup. Lead me to my Samsung QLED, I think the LG was rated a little higher, but all my other TVs were Samsung and trusted the brand

I think Rting includes room brightness as one of its scores. QLED TVs have a brighter screen but I am really pleased with my LG OLED when watching during the day.

Are you going to watch a lot of HDR and Dolby Vision content?
If so QLED and Sony Triluminous are >>> OLED

QLED’s last about 5 years. OLED’s last a lot longer.

Think you may have that backwards. QLED is a LCD panel. OLED have shorter lifespans than the LED backlights of an LCD panel.

We have a pretty bright room and love our Samsung QN90b.

This is correct.
OLED has a good advantage in dark rooms watching movies but with the advancements in QLED over the last few years it really is their only advantage when you are talking similarly priced sets. I wish it was feasible to build 4K plasma TVs, I really miss the old Panny and Pioneer plasmas. We still have an old Pioneer Kuro 60" in one of the guest rooms and every time someone stays in it they remark how gorgeous the picture is.

Traditionally qled, but newer OLEDs are doing better in lit places.
Go to Best Buy and notice how bright the room is and how good the OLEDs still look.

The problem with just using what they look like in a showroom is that the TV are kept at levels that will ruin them in a very short time.

They have them set to some kind of showroom/demo setting for maximum brightness. You would never use that setting at home.

False, OLED handles motion better as well.
High end QLED looks great, but OLED still produces a better overall picture. QLED are typically cheaper, so you can argue that QLED is an overall better value.
Frankly, I think the bright room argument against OLED is overblown, unless you actually have sunlight directly hitting your TV.

Agreed. My LG C2 gets direct sunlight hitting it if I open the blinds and its fine. This is after I adjusted the settings from the crazy high brightness and vivid picture it defaults to. In almost all realistic circumstances OLEDs are bright enough.

I love my OLED (LG b or c7).
I use it in a room with big bay windows and tons of natural light (though due to the room design, there is no direct sunlight on the TV itself.
Negative:
I didn’t turn on the pixel-shifter before my daughter developed a love for Sesame Street singalongs on YouTube. They were our background music for an hour or two each day, sometimes a bit longer when I would put her to sleep and then fall asleep myself or forget to turn it off
I’ve owned it for 4.5 years. After about a year of the bright-arse yellow and green Sesame Street logo on the bottom right corner, I have some very mild burn-in present, but only noticeable on certain backdrop colors. (And really it’s from the yellow outline, not the green background of the logo).
