    I wish I'd seen this review a week ago when my 4-year old Sony Bravia decided to go to TV heaven. I was aware of QLED from reviews and decided that it was the better choice than n OLED for the environment it's located. Got a Samsung Q70A QLED which arrived yesterday and I was really impressed with the picture compared to the prior Sony. But I didn't really have a chance to do the research that I normally would have done, and was not aware of the additional benefits of Neo QLED. The price difference for the 55-inch (which is what I got) was only $300, so I would probably have sprung for the Neo QLED. However, the Q70A QLED is till a great picture. I'm impressed by the black levels, the vivid colors, and the level of detail in the pictures.

On top of that, assuming you use your fireplace as well, a fireplace, then the heat as well as any stray smoke are going to rise up to your TV, which is not very good for any electronics.

      If your fireplace is letting out enough smoke into your house to damage your TV, you best be moving houses. The whole point of chimneys is to prevent smoke from entering the house.
      As for heat, bricks are really good at preventing heat creep and wouldn't pass any directly to the TV mount itself. I suppose the ambient temperature around the fireplace could be an issue, but only if you have the TV close enough to the actual flames. There is a reason BBQs have the grill essentially on the flame. The heat dissipates extremely quickly.
      And the viewing angle is only a problem if you have a straight backed chair and a flat TV mount. Angling the TV 20° down and sitting in a recliner is the same as viewing straight on.
      I guess my point is the obvious cons of fireplace mounting are easily avoided so it seems odd to have a hard no stance on it when so many houses are designed around the fireplace being the vocal point of a living room.

Blue has an advantage of looking brighter and it's why most TVs in a store have the blues cranked up to flood our eyes with perceived brightness. However, the warm/dimmer looks is typically more accurate in most situations. (Let a meter confirm, can't trust yourself or environment half the time.) I'll give Linus the benefit of the doubt that trying to make the TVs push out more brightness in a bluer comparison does a better job of trying to spot dimming zones / algorithm at work.

    • @donm9090
      @donm9090 2 года назад

      Tl;Dr: Samsung TVs are honestly not *genuinely* worth their pricing, at least not this generation.
      The Samsung models have relatively few dimming zones. The most in their new series is in the 700s while other competitors are 900-1000+ zones, such as LGs top models with a little more than 900 zones, ≈30% more than the Samsungs. Not to speak on the quality of dimming algorithms per TV(my own personal experience with Sam TVs expects there to be some rather glaring flaws as usual), but as far as hardware goes the Samsung lineup is only *barely* within the realm of miniLED. Samsung is kinda like the Bose of TVs, they tend to have lower spec hardware in their TVs than others but punch above their weight with "EQ" and their practically limitless tv r&d budget on how to get the most out of the least for the best profit. Not that I begrudge that business model, Bose has it down to an exact science and it works for them. Samsung... Not so much.

    After watching this video when it came out a year ago. I waited for the Micro LED TVs and it was worth it compared to Neo QLED . I think in person Samsung's MicroLED is quite nice and quite bright relative to the Neo QLED but then being so expensive it was a bit of a bummer. I hope it catches on and becomes more popular, so that it can get more affordable. I really like the look of MicroLED.

    Just a fun spec to throw out there regarding light elements on TVs: if you consider per light element dimming, a 1080p plasma display had 2,073,600 pixels, each red, green and blue sub pixel was emissive so it had 6,220,800 dimming zones. OLED panels from LG use stacked pixel elements with red, green, blue and white so it has one light source for each pixel rather than plasma's 3. LCD is not emissive so the comparison doesn't really matter but in a numbers game plasma should have been marketing all those "zones" 😁

      I still jealously hold onto my old Panasonic plasma display. 1080P and 600hz refresh (black to black) As the refresh is a full scan/wipe of the screen and not some backlighting tricks, there is zero tearing, artifacts, trails, blurring, or whatever. I still wish they made them. Then again, the best TV I ever saw was a giant 200 inch or so model at a casino. It was a 4K display made up OF LEDs.(think display signs) Your brain does simply not compute the first time you see it as it's like OLED and a Jumbotron had an illicit love child. So there is always "better" for us mere mortals to aspire to :)

    Can’t wait for microLED to eventually become more common.

    That QLed sure looks better to me for sharpness and less faded colors when you did the closeup shots.

    Throw as many zones on there as you want. Dimmed light will never beat out no light.
