2024 TV Shootout - An Inside Look - Do the Results Matter? Yes, and Here's Why.

For me more things count than comparing tv’s to reference monitor. But I do like the tv picture being close to intended (not vivid modes). What I like: gaming capabilities Movies and series capabilities Multi Audio pass trough options like dts Longetivity (which is barely reviewed) Connectivity port options How companies handle soft and firmware updates

@@masomaf all valid points. Agree, there’s more to a TV than just ultimate picture quality.

I own a 77” S89C QD-OLED and 65 A90J, but the dropping prices on large, good-quality Mini-LED LCDs cannot be ignored. 98” TCL QM7 for $2500? Insane. Of course, it will have several downsides compared to a top tier OLED, but 90% or more of consumers don’t care. I’m even tempted by the Sony 85X93L Mini-LED on clearance for $2400.

Those huge MiniLED/LCD TVs are tempting, for sure, but not everyone has the space for a 98-inch, or even a 77-inch or 85-inch TV. If 65-inch is the largest you can fit in your living space, OLED and QD-OLED still beat LCD TVs (even MiniLED LCD TVs) on most qualitative factors and aren't appreciably more expensive. Other than the top-end models, most 65-inch OLEDs can be found in the $1299 to $1799 price range. Yes, MiniLED TVs can get brighter, but they still have artifacts like haloing and poor image uniformity which don't appear on OLED TVs.
