@isomeri: Which OLED do you have?

@doerr007: Hmm that looks like a good option as well. And it's a bit cheaper than the Samsung Qleds.

Plus it looks to be future proof for the new consoles and it has both Dolby Vision and HDR10.

At this point I would probably still choose an LCD over an OLED just so I don't have to worry about burn-in.

I can have a bit of mood lighting if I want to watch movies in a dark-ish room then to counter potential blooming.

But it looks pretty solid. 2.1 HDMI support (whenever the update hits?) and good grey uniformity which is important for gaming.

Thanks dude.

At this point it's down to either this Sony TV or one of the higher end Samsung QLEDS. but the cheaper Sony X900H actually outperforms the Samsung Qleds when it comes to complex dark scenes.

@ntm: Thank you for a thorough answer.

Buying a new TV is a tricky decision. A part of me wants to upgrade my TV soon but another part of me wants to wait and see what the next round of TVs will be like.

I'm still so tempted buy OLED but I just don't want to buy a TV with the risk of burn-in. I know that I will use my TV in such a way that burn-in would be a big risk in my use case. So unless there suddenly exists a burn-in free OLED TV they are out of the question.

Samsung QLEDS aren't perfect either, but at least I won't have to worry about burn-in. And they should be great gaming TVs. And the picture quality is still really good. The only thing that sucks is that I wont be able to watch movies in a completely dark room without distracting blooming.

Oh well.

Edit: don't want to create a new thread for this question.

I have a dumb question about Dolby Vision and HDR. So I'm thinking of maybe buying a Samsung Q80T or a Q95T but none of Samsung's TVs supports Dolby Vision.

Samsung TVs support the following HDR formats: HDR10, HDR10+, HLG

That brings me to my question: What would happen if I watched Dolby Vision content on a Samsung TV? Would HDR just not "activate"?

A pretty disappointing reveal.

That said, Origins is still a better game than City and Knight.

Asylum is still the best Batman game though.

Disappointing subject matter for the game. I hope the "reveal" will be nothing less than mindblowing. Nothing else can excuse the insanely long amount of silence there have been from Rocksteady.

At this point they need to show a long gameplay slice. A CG trailer, or even a gameplay trailer by itself, won't be enough.

I know Rocksteady might have in some ways been "forced" to work on this project by WB, but nevertheless they have a lot to prove to win me over.

Yeah, the waiting is the downside. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be upgrading this year and it will probably be a Samsung QLED.

I don't need 8K, not on a 55' TV, so if I'm really happy with the QLED TV I can keep it for a little longer.

But if MicroLED really can deliver the brightness of LCD with the perfect blacks of OLEDs without the risk of burn-in. That would honestly be the kind of TV I could stick with for a decade or till it would just die.

Hopefully MicroLED TVs will take all the best aspects of both OLED and LCD/LED without any of the downsides.

Guess I won't be going for an OLED then. Probably gonna go with a QLED TV instead. I imagine the leap in picture quality will still be quite big from my 10+ years old 1080p TV.

The only thing that sucks is that LED still have blooming. It would be really nice to have a TV I could use in a pitch dark room without any distracting blooming. But the risk of burn-in just doesn't seem worth it. Sadly.

It seems like OLED would be close to a perfect TV if it wasn't for burn-in. I know that OLED are also more dim than LED/LCD TVs but that doesn't really bother.

I would still take a more dim TV with better picture quality than a brighter TV with slightly less good picture quality.

@marino: That sucks, but that may have been a faulty TV.

The thing is that nothing comes close to OLED in terms of pure picture quality. All the other types of TVs seem so outdated. It just sucks that there is a presumably small risk of picture burn-in.

The alternative would be to wait for MicroLED but that is probably still 3-4 years out and the first TVs will be kuh-razy expensive.

I would also like an OLED because it would allow me to watch movies in a completely dark room without any of the downsides of LCDs such a blooming.
