Tvs with closest picture to OLED
Posted on 8/9/20 at 2:51 pm
Posted on 8/9/20 at 2:51 pm
Starting to do some research on a new TV in the entertainment room. Looking for a 75 inch or 85 inch tv. I love the picture of an OLED tv, but I can’t justify spending that amount of money on a TV. What technology is a step below OLED? And is it close in picture quality? Also, can I assume OLED will significantly drop in price in the next couple of years?

I mean, there’s really only OLED and LED lcd’s. Some brands have different lcd technology (Samsung’s quantum dot). The higher end Samsung and Sony’s would probably be your best bet

So difference between Qled and nano led and all that stuff is just marketing?

And they cost as much as OLED

Well MicroLED, the successor to OLED, just got delayed last month due to the virus delaying parts. Won't be seeing them for another year+ likely two.

Probably the closest picture to OLED is also made by LG, the latest LG NanoCell TVs: LINK

The quantum dot technology paired with a good HDR processor is about as close as you’re going to get. The new TCL 8 series is a good example to look at.

It’s an IPS panel (which means horrible contrast)l, so not even close

Samsung Qled 8k is ridiculous and much brighter than the Oled TVs

We are at the point of diminishing returns, IMHO.
If the display can deliver a reasonably good 4k picture (or even upscale competently from 1080p), that's probably the maximum quality your eyes will be able to discern.
Most mid-priced displays on the market now can already do that. 8K is going to fail - not as badly as 3D, but still not going to be worth the investment. Even if it becomes standard, 8K from 4K is about 1/10 the improvement that 4K was over 1080p, and that improvement was only really noticeable on big screens (like 65" or bigger).
8K may make a difference for cinema set ups, but how many folks have huge media rooms with 12 to 15 foot screens or are watching films outside to take advantage of that?

65" seems to be the entry level TV size these days.

But there are still many improvements that can be made in picture quality besides increased resolution...
I'm not denying that, but the costs of those improvements are not going to get masses to change quickly - and look how long HD took - HD was a revolution in quality.
Sure, darker blacks, more accurate color reproduction, improved motion, better contrast, but again, all of these are seeing diminishing returns. Displays are, after all, a product in the market. R&D has to be paid back with sales. I go back to 3D - remember 3D? It was an expensive failure. I suspect they are going slowly with 8K (using the 4K model - slowly introduce on the highest end sets and wait for content to arrive) because of that.
And folks' expectations are dropping for what they expect to pay for a high end set.

Yea, I am thinking minimum 75. Leaning towards 85.

soon we're all going to have 100"+ 8k LED panels and 9.1.2 surround setups in our basements

I mean at a certain point you have to build a room specifically designed for home theaters. I want a nice setup, not about to pay to construct a legit “home theater” to stream 4K movies on Netflix

Look at it where?
I tried going to Best Buy to "look" at TV's. Went to three of them and they had hardly anything to look at.
I did end up getting the 65" TCL 8 series last week. Love it so for. It's very bright and vibrant, but you can adjust the brightness very easily.
