OLED, LED? What's the difference?
OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) TVs are fundamentally different from the better known LED TVs in that each pixel emits it's own light. LED TVs instead have a backlight that shines through diods. For more details check out What Hi-fi's explainer. Don't get thrown off by new terms like QD-OLED and QLED. At their heart these are still OLED and LED panels.
- Higher Contrast, Blacker Blacks, Very fast response time
- Not as bright, potentially subject to burn-in, often more expensive
Great for dim rooms, gaming and nearly all applications. Potentially avoid if using in a bright room or you have static images on the screen (e.g. tickers on the bottom all the time)
- Brighter, more affordable, available in larger sizes
- Inferior picture qualityl less dark blacks, and lower contrast ratio.
Better for brighter rooms and for those looking for a larger screen for the same money.
