Good explanation of what goes on the various layers used to tame reflections in displays and why glossy has a more realistic image and depth perception.
That was wayyyyy back in 2018 or 2019??? I don't think they make those TVs anymore. And I think it also doesn't have HDR but the reviews still said the images popped wayyy more than IPS or VA panels. Have you done any screen testing to see if there are any discernible burned-in logos or other screen issues?That original 55in 1080p set is hooked up to my Wii U, Switch, PS3, and a couple of mini retro game consoles.
2017 but I bought it for cheap as a closeout, so probably a 2016 model I'm guessing. No burn in or screen issues, but it was and still is mainly used for movies and gaming, so I wouldn't expect any issues. There is no HDR. This is one of the few OLED TVs that support passive viewing of 3D Blurays, and I still own a few. I'll probably hook a PS2 up to it soon as well since I have the component video adapter still. In a bright room, I can confirm there are purple reflections as noted in the review below, but otherwise it's a pretty perfect TV for retro and current Nintendo gaming.That was wayyyyy back in 2018 or 2019???

My wife's work has a giant MicroLED display. It is incredible!MicroLED's.... hopefully...
MicroLED's are a whole different ballgame.
IMHO this is not an OLED vs IPS thing but a glossy vs matte thing.Would you say that it handles reflections worse or better than IPS when there's lots of other light sources? Are the reflections more annoying when the blacks are blacker?
I'd have to agree, it's a glossy vs matte finish thing. The LG OLED I have has a matte finish and it handles reflections really really well.IMHO this is not an OLED vs IPS thing but a glossy vs matte thing.
We were recently at Best Buy and the matte finish Samsung OLED was my favorite by far but it was $3k so it is still sitting there at BB.
Have you seen a QD-OLED yet?OLED imo is the best available display tech. It’s not perfect, but nothing comes close to it. The infinite contrast and response times make it the best gaming experience. They’ve also been getting brighter and brighter every year, gobbling away at the brightness advantage of LCD.
Modern OLED TVs are plenty bright. Just make sure to get a glossy panel, matte finish really hinders OLED’s ability to ‘pop’.
I’ve seen a few Samsung panels in the stores, yes. Large brightness increase and richer colours, from what I saw.Have you seen a QD-OLED yet?
Try to see the Sony QD-OLED.I’ve seen a few Samsung panels in the stores, yes. Large brightness increase and richer colours, from what I saw.
LG’s new layer on their G4 panels delivers a somewhat similar improvement. For a TV, I wouldn’t go Samsung, because of their stubborn lack of DV support.
Who told you all those things? Yes, the pixels degrade over time and yes, if you are used to staring at your desktop a lot and using applications with fixed UI elements, OLED might be a bad idea if you don't like taking precautions. One of the things I do on my Samsung 27-inch OLED is to run any app with Admin privileges after every ten minutes or so. The UAC pop up causes the whole screen to change, thus the pixels are refreshed and then I just click NO and don't run the app. Or you can use some shortcut to run a screensaver.Thoughts on that?
I would add my LG OLED does some sort of "pixel cleaning" every time the computer is off, in sleep mode, or just hasn't been used for 3 hours (user adjustable). You could use it during all your waking hours and it would still get a chance to refresh itself and do its maintenance. Or, you know, just play a game every once in awhile on it. That definitely refreshes the pixels.Who told you all those things?

I think image quality of an OLED, especially with HDR, is worth the small annoyance of keeping track of refreshing the screen from time to time. Of course, I do it because I'm paranoid and don't want an expensive screen getting ruined. I've read about people who use OLEDs just like normal displays and they haven't had any issues for years. Important thing is to let the display go into power saving mode after you are done using it. Then it will run its built in pixel refresher over the next few hours and this should prevent any long term damage to the pixels.
Or just do yourself a favor and get a mini-LED. It won't be the absolute best but it will be really, really close to OLED in terms of contrast ratio. I've seen ads of TCL mini-LED TVs hitting 3500 nits. Now THAT is crazy and probably won't ever be possible with OLEDs. For that kind of brightness in small highlights for HDR, I could see myself ditching OLED and choosing mini-LED.
I consume my youtube mostly on my mobile. The android Youtube app is a FAR better experience than using Youtube website in a browser. I get amazing recomendations in the app. Don't get anything even close like the recommendations in browser.
