What a time to be alive

Based, finally time to dump the mid tech that is OLED.

OLED and LED tech is laughable at this point.

QD-OLED definitely has its place though. It all depends on the use case. I will look to get a new set this fall and really torn on MLED vs QD-OLED.

Only mini led is worth the money imo better to wait a year or so instead of buying old tech

Not sure I understand the statement. QD-OLED is new tech, just as MLED is, and the performance increase from its first year to second on the market is very significant.

I don't think you can go wrong buying a good MLED or QDOLED today. Of course, next year's models will always be better, but if you are always waiting and never buying, you are never enjoying.

how did you watch 10 mins of that ESLcel lmao

Too bright. Not good for the eyes absorbing all that bright bluelight

[freeburn]

Da fuk is the point of a tv being that bright

I already turn my oled off max brightness at night unless I'm watching a movie.

I guess good for daytime but I don't watch TV in the daytime generally

It's peak brightness for HDR highlights, not APL.

Incels trying to go blind before the next election boyos. Dont let the gov do this to you again. land of the free boyos

Ah, one of those "5000 knits but only on 5 percent of the screen for 5 seconds"

You don't need 5k APL unless you are watching TV on the sun but the higher the max number the more realistic the lighting and images will look.

From what I recall I don’t think nit brightness works linearly, meaning the brightness difference between 100nits versus 300nits is a lot more perceptible than 4000nits to 5000nits.

I also assume this 5000nits is in much smaller windows and specular highlights. HDTVest mentioned that real life brightness in many instances is still far brighter in terms of color volume, like for instance the sun in the sky produces 1.5 billion nits or something like that.

Some good points of why this is such a big deal

This is true
There is such a thing as too bright. If youre watching a movie in a dark room (which you should be if you claim to be a cinephile) you don't want insanely bright HDR highlights. It's just uncomfortable. You wouldn't look at the sun IRL so why would you want flash bang simulator on your TV.
Lightning struck a phone pole outside my house when I was looking out the window once and it legit blinded me for a few seconds, it's not fun

5k nits is nothing close to looking at the sun ("The sun at noon is about 1.6 billion nits"), lmfao .... Is this poorcel cope? Anyone should excited about TV tech improving unless they just spent their last dollar on their current TV and are upset they can't upgrade.

And what TV have to been using? I'm sure everyone would like to know. You're the last person here who should talk about poorcel cope. Making all these threads and posts lusting after high end TVs and still can't afford one yet, fkn lol

Didn't say it was, strong language interpretation.
The only poorcel here is you gushing over a chitty chinese branded TV. Just get an LG or Sony

He keeps buying them but they keep getting damaged in the box and he has to return. He's not poor, it just bad luckening

Uh, ok

TCL surely isn't high end yet but LoL@ dismissing them these days with what they have been bringing to the market. Honestly if they could get their processor tech to catch up to their screen tech they'd be making the best TVs available, hands down. Are you the type of guy who still thinks Toyota makes crappy cars?

[rollerball]

Don’t sleep on TCL just because it’s chinese. There is no better bang for buck in tvs right now than the chinese brands.

[bongowongo]

What's the verdict on Hisense? I've been seeing quite a lot of nice looking Hisenses pop up in the stores ... Not that I'm planning to buy it, but they do look quite good. No TCL's where I live.

You don't need 5k APL

Very comparable, with positives and negatives for both, probably netting a slight edge for TCL for most users.

If they were any good and had any faith in their products they would offer a 5 year warranty as standard, like Sony and LG do. TCL offer 2 years at best. Just shows they don't trust their chit to last any longer than that

Lol didn't you fraud with a gaming setup in a hotel lobby?

That's fair but I have no problems rolling the dice. If I was worried about it I could add the Best Buy 5 year warranty onto it and it would still be substantially less than the competing Samsung brand.

I 100% have a better sense of what makes a good TV picture than you do, Mike. I'm not bragging either, I'm like obsessed with TVs.

That's a really dumb statement.

Nobody is saying they are the most reliable. They are currently the Hyundai/Kia of the car world. Best bang for the buck, best specs and features when compared within their class. Will they compete outside of their class? No. Are they the most reliable? Probably not.

Most people like roller who would buy a QM8 probably isn't concerned with reliability as he is most likely going to buy a new TV before warranty ends anyway as tech is advancing every year. Same as most people buying a new Kia Telluride aren't keeping it past 100k miles. The reliability is completely irrelevant and only really effects resale value which isn't important to everyone.
