The OLED seems to be better in places with more sunlight. We currently have a 6 year old led Sony Bravia, thinking about doing 77" OLED Sony Google tv. Our new home had tons of sunlight, our past home was darker in the living room. Or current tv has a substantial glare issue from there natural light

Anyone have any reviews on OLED vs Led?

Is it worth upgrading?

OLED is a different beast. I have a 65" LG....straight baller. I will say the glare is a PITA some times...but it all depends on where the light is coming from. Mine sits in our living room with 5-6 windows between the front and back of the house. The picture quality is still worth it. A lot of people will say the Micro-LED and other marketing bullshite around LED is just as good as OLED. It's not. End of story.

The biggest hurdle to overcome it is the cost. You can get a pretty damn good 65" LED for $1000. You're going to spend almost double that to get in to an OLED.

I’ve been researching the last week or so and from what I’ve seen bright rooms/sunlight are the only negative when it comes to OLED. They don’t get as bright and may have a glass surface, so the glare/reflection presents issues.

What are you basing this on?

MicroLED TVs are BRAND NEW bleeding edge technology. They will have the same pixel level control as OLED, be much less susceptible to burn-in, have close to, though not quite the same, black level, and higher max brightness which is a big deal in bright rooms and a huge deal with HDR content.

Probably getting confused with miniLED TVs.

MicroLEDS TVS wont be available to general consumers for quite some time.

They have been around a little longer than that and they are special purpose things usually costing well over 6 figures. The technology behind them limits them to only very large sizes at this time. Probably due to heat dissipation.

Samsung knows they are still years away that is why they entered an agreement to start purchasing OLED panels from LG Display to put in their flagship televisions.

Personal preference. I really do not find OLED tvs to be that dim unless you have them against a very bright LED to compare.

So if you have the TV in direct sunlight it probably makes a difference, but I would advise against that to begin with.

If you are spending 3K+ and picture quality is to priority you cant beat an OLED set at this time

My main issue is my current Sony Bravia, which is led about 6 years old, it's a 65" and the glare is frustrating in the new house. Makes the tv look dim. Trying to find something to combat the glare.

Yup....sorry. To be fair there have been several variations of "LED" tvs that have been HEAVY on marketing and not so much on substance. OLED is just juicer than normal LEDs.

They aren't all that far away. Still out of reach for most people, but so were Plasma and OLED at first.

Samsung’s 76-inch MicroLED TV will be its smallest yet

This was a false rumor btw.

And MicroLED will have multiple sizes available this year, years away is inaccurate as well.

Didnt read my whole post

microLED as a consumer product is still years away.. 2-3+

Yes there are now going to be 88" versions available sometime by next year... for 100K.

Given what we've seen so far of MicroLED TV pre-order pricing in Korea, where the 110-inch MicroLED TV is available for 170 million won – $152,000 U.S. dollars – that's going to be a pretty premium price indeed.

True, you still ran with that rumor like crazy though.

They have 3 sizes now in production with the 2 larger ones launching this fall. Not next year. The 76" will be next year.

That is literally what I said in my post

They already have microLED TVs on the market today. But they are not really targeted to the consumer market

I mean it was posted to a bunch of reputable tech sites... and I only posted one thread about it...

Once again they have existed before even now, but not for general consumers. They are all going to be 100K+

They're still readily available in production consumer TV's though. You're just splitting hairs.

You said years like they're so far away but they're not at all. Nor is the tech itself.

100K dollar consumer TVs... Ok

Guess we just have different definitions.

Maybe in 3 years I can afford one under 10k
