Recently bought a Hisense 55 inch U8K mini LED. Absolutely blew me away. Found some really good picture settings from Reddit and it looks just as good as OLED. The contrast is unbelievable, the blacks are damn near OLED blacks and I paid only $699. Mini LED is the way to go!
I also bought the Hisense u8k back in December and it's such a good TV specially those speakers, did not expect them to sound that good. Mind sharing those setting ? haven't messed with my TV settings that much since I got it.

OLEDs traditionally also have a big advantage in input lag vs zone-dimmed displays (especially in HDR) since they don't need to run a dimming algorithm that adjusts the zones on every refresh.
Yeah. I'm wondering why they don't use dual oled layer, one white one rgb using the same control split so there is no input lag difference and brightness could potentially improve too
Ya they also have even more traditional big advantages , compared to minileds(Lcd) , like with ABL 250 nits on 100% window when most top minileds gets up to 1000 nits on 100% window. and ABL in most scenes oled will always look dimmer or much dimmer ,compared to top miniled in most scenes . Depends on the content now. Not to mention oled monitors have even more agreesive ABL compared to the normal oled TVs .bcs of the static things , icons u having on ur monitor 24/7. Also another huge advantage for the oled its the price , all oled monitors are dirt cheap on the market ^^. But ya they have some top + like instant response time and infinite contrast etc. even if top miniled tvs are getting very close in this area lately, but oled still its the king there for how long ? will see with the gen. of top miniled tvs , they already very close to the oled in that area also. My point is no tech its perfect , both have cons and pros ! So at the end of the day stop being a fanboy , be open minded !
This cannot be stressed enough. Hyped up, I bought a PG27AQDM, which is a really good monitor, and as my first OLED experience, delivered pretty hard in gaming and content consumption. But... knowing that there will be times where I will have to read and write a lot of text on this display, I have to say that questionable longevity of an OLED (pixel cleaning notifications are just super paranoia inducing) plus kinda terrible text on it was enough to have me buy a 4K Mini-LED instead, keeping in mind that I find blooming to not bother me at all and riding it with a 4080 super for gaming. Worthy to note is also that I am not a gigantic fan of HDR, as lower brightness levels are more pleasing to my eyes. And then there is the cost of OLED, which is certainly subject to change, but still... I just noticed that I don't really mind IPS so to speak. Let's see where we go from here!
Well done. Agree with everything that was said apart from matte vs glossy. I switch between a matte monitor and glossy tv and I never think ‘I wish this was glossy’ when using my matte monitor). I’ll say oled vs mini led is a very scene by scene issue. Playing Jedi survivor and all the desert scenes in the day shine on mini led far above my oled displays, meanwhile all the dark scenes look quite a bit better on my mini led monitor. No perfect display sadly but both techs are improving.
Heres hoping to see your Review of the new LG 27GR95UM which is the Best mini led Nano IPS monitor I've seen after the firmware update,it also has an ATW polarizer and 1560 zones to help with blooming. I would love to see a comparison of HDR against the QD oleds and WOLEDs monitors that you have. Keep up the good work👍
I think once you get mini led to like 50-100k zones it’ll be in a really solid point. Still won’t be able to hit the same response times though. Just by the inherent nature of the technology.
To me, contrast includes: Max vs. min brightness at 1-25% white (mini-LED), ambient contrast (glossy WOLED & VA mini-LED) and microcontrast (OLED). They should all be considered on the same level.
@@x8jason8x I'm next to a bright window. so brightness is very important. I have had OLED burn in with every OLED device ive owned. further more, modern stress test on modern OLED have shown that burn in is still an issue. OLED tries to mitigate these issues by pixel refresh (which literally makes the whole display dimmer over time). I love the look of OLED, but can't trust the technology to last over 5 years without issues (based on my use case). its a shame dual layer LCD never took off. as that has all the pros of OLED (perfect blacks) without the negativesa of OLED (check out the Sony BVM-HX310)
Super high brightness adds a lot to the experience. Giving mini LED a definite win there. But the G4 solved brightness as far as I'm concerned. I'd like a tiny bit more brightness in Film Maker mode, but it's still good enough for now.
If there was musou black filter for led, that would be a game changer. Cheaper by having less led zones but blooming are truly filtered like the fresnel effect on crt.
Excellent points. I'm an audio/video hobbyist and know the technology pretty well but I wanted to see what others say every time this topic is brought up. For myself I have a nice LG OLED TV for all movie viewing and a decent amount of other media. For my PC monitor I have a Cooler Master mini led monitor that I really like. It has some very annoying quirks you have to toggle when using HDR but it performs great when set. I have static content on my PC for hours at a time that needs to stay there most of the time, so I can't really do OLED. Also I like the powerful brightness of true 1000+ nit HDR. Honestly I feel Mini led Local dimming is the way moving forward. Blooming can be annoying in some scenes in most gameplay it's fine. I probably don't play enough dark games and I'm not a horror fan either but definitely I'd prefer more dimming zones above any other upgrade.
I went mini-led because it was about 60% less and is close enough to oled that I can’t justify the price difference. Also I use it for working and gaming and oled is not acceptable for productivity.
I really wish OLED took off in the early years with the PS Vita. OLED was just absurdly better than the LCDs at the time and for some reason it took way longer for OLED to be taken seriously. Like I still remember the people fighting over getting the 3DS that had the IPS panels instead of the TNs because they were so much better, but OLED was even better than that and we didn't have any HDR content to use the brightness of LCDs. OLED came out kinda late to the game and now it looks less competitive. I really wish it could have come faster.
@haukionkannel from what I can find there really isn't much record of PS Vitas burning in. And OLED displays only 2-3 years ago burned in way more often than now, but the longer the tech is out, the more it gets optimized.
I upgraded from a 1080p IPS to a 4k QD-Oled and honestly the biggest difference I noticed wasn't the resolution, the colors, the response time, or the blacks, but the GLOSSY coating holy shit you were so right dude. I now get why you're being so evangelical about this.
dude upgrading from a 1080p monitor into 4k oled doesnt count, your old monitor was so garbage, even 1440p ips or va panel without local dimming would blow you away :O
@@Tuskabanana no i can confirm the glossy finish is the biggest part i went from a 768p semi gloss tv to a matte 1440p to real glossy 1440p finish and its miles better. it just looks so much cleaner even at the same res colors pop more things look clearer its just awesome going from matte to glossy.
@@aubrynobicop6924 yeah i believe you, i will buy a glossy oled to, i have the lg27ul600 now with 26530 hours :=) and years before i bought the lg27up650 to compare it. Both Monitors got Matt coatings, but the new model got the worst cheap matt coating ever, text looked so unsharp, instantly send it back. I can imagine how clear a glossy coating will look when i even see the difference on a cheap matt against a more expensive coating.
@@Tuskabanana No my previous IPS was great, I had calibrated it well, there was very little inherent ghosting, resolution didn't usually bother me because of things like DSR and also its 24 inch size. BUT that constant eye gouging vaseline effect was always there, and now that I have a proper glossy monitor I can appreciate it being gone with zero drawbacks. Of course there's other benefits to oled! Metro Exodus Enhanced which is a dark game looks stunning for example. As I use it more I'm sure I'll keep being blown away. I wasn't saying 4k oled doesn't have its advantages, but for me the biggest and first shock was how much better the glossy coating looks.
You will notice a difference from 1080p to any 4k. You won't notice much difference between a 4k ips and oled. An oled will have blacker background, and more saturated colors. That's it. Most people obsessed with oled are people who switch from 1080p to 4k.
Mini LED for gaming and daytime PC productivity (brighter, better HDR on colorful games, and no burn-in risk using it all day for productivity.) OLED for watching movies and TV shows at night.
OLED gives a great SDR experience in the monitor market. HDR is more impactful on miniLED, but we need more miniLED support because KTC and Innocn aren't cutting it.
If you rich buy both but if you dont buy only Mini-LED Well i got Mini-LED and never had a OLED because i dont wanna get burn in.. I will buy QD-OLED when is free from burn in lol
I hear that JOLED is "superior" to QD-OLED and WOLED in terms of text clarity due to the traditional RGB strip layout on the JOLED versus a triangle layout on the QD-OLED and a 4 strip layout on the WOLED. The INNOCN 32Q1R has a JOLED panel, is 32 inches, and is *only* 60Hz. I'm trying to decide between the 32Q1R and the INNOCN 32M2V, which is a 32 inch mini-LED 144Hz monitor. My reason for choosing the mini-LED INNOCN is because of I hear the refresh rate is appreciated when used as a main productivity monitor and it has excellent color reproduction and video quality. My question is, which would be the better choice between these two monitors? I will be using the monitor mainly for productivity (software dev, content creation, content consumption) with minimal 1080p/60fps gaming (Witcher 3, Baldur's Gate, Nintendo Switch output).
Contrast on FALD LCDs fluctuate greatly, for example in darker scenes with small bright objects (such as stars), the contrast on the mini-LED will drop to near native levels. Dark objects in extremely bright scenes may also appear too bright due to backlight spill. IMHO OLED still have clear contrast advantage even compared to minileds.
@DrakonR I'm a photographer and photoshop artist and I've never seen an LCD (including sony minileds) with natural looking contrast. When it comes to Bravia TVs, Sony has increased the number of dimming zones to 1500-2800 (depending on screen size) in their latest mini-led TVs, but that's still nothing when you look at the totall number of pixels at 4K (8.3M). A quote from RTINGS sony bravia 9 QLED review: "There's some noticeable blooming that bleeds into the black bars of letterboxed movies during very bright scenes. There's also more apparent blooming when watching the TV from an angle. Finally, there's considerable blooming across the entire screen if you open any settings menu, even when hitting the volume buttons on the remote." Even 2800 dimming zones can't cover 8.3 million pixels, no matter how advanced the backlight control is. If you know where to look, the difference is very noticeable. Also keep in mind that we are talking about PC monitors here, and minileds on PC are not nearly as advanced as 65-85'inch TVs. The best PC Minileds have about 1000 dimming zones. They cost 3x as much as QD OLEDs, but still have much lower contrast.
@@PabloB888 most LCD (mini LED) lovers here are just Sony fan boys or ppl who havent even tried top tier OLED displays. Makes me laugh when they are saying OLEDs are dim or afraid of burn ins... its 2024 and burns ins are something least I'm worried about.
It’s the scenes with snow and bright sunny days that kills OLED for me. I have tried tons of different panels and I’m still using my PG27UQ. I cannot wait for an upgrade that I love.
It is brighter, sure, but the thing about display brightness is that your eyes adjust and gets used to whatever you have. It's like how an iPhone at low brightness still seems like a flashlight, but might look like it is completely off during day time.
@@PD-ws4tdive tried a qd oled monitor and ive returned it so fast, the desktop does look better but hdr is so muted and i can't go back to fortnite or any game that isn't 1k nits fullscreen
I got a LG G3 TV for a year now. Its amazing but when the content is not opimized for HDR its not a lot better then LED. Especially when in a bright room during the day. Also I found that the extreme contrast almost looks unnatural as in nature you never have absence of light a few micrometer next to birght light.
I tried qd oled monitor with glossy screen, it's just too dim, the color white looks off side by side with IPS, in well lit env, the black is subtle because it's glossy, matte would make it dimmer, oled monitor is just not ready, while oled tvs are great
@@DrakonR It's fine if you're a brightness queen and only/mainly concerned with that. There's no arguing on what provides subjectively better experience to you personally. But the thing about human eyes being wat more sensitive to brightness differences in low light conditions is a well established and scientifically proven fact. It's not that relevant when viewing high APL content in a bright room, though.
@@juanblanco7898 sure it is. It's funny how the same people who argue everyone sees things differently will argue facts when it suits their narrative. Move along.
I went for the QD-OLED S95D. Gotta say the anti glare help doing gaming and watching movies. No mirror reflection doing dark scenes, and it has to be a strong direct window reflection to affect the picture quality. But at that point glossy would be ruined too
I love my mini led, it looks fantastic, the brightness cannot be overlooked, it truly makes for spectacular HDR even if the contrast isn't as good as oled.
hopefully gaming oled monitors get bfi soon since they dont have a backlight they could do it like how crts do it natively scanline which would be amazing for motion clarity due to how our eyes perceive motion itt would put oled even further ahead of lcd for gaming currently the 1080p 540hz monitors still have a slight edge over oled for comp gaming but its not large and bfi would kill lcds for competitive gaming.
In terms of TVs, given that most people watch TV and movies with subtitles now, and subtitles are the main area where blooming is a issue, it's a shame that the TV/content industry hasn't latched on to this to produce an OLED "subtitles bar" which slings under the main display. The fact that TV promo shots and reviews are all about "look at this picture of a bouncing ball" and not "here are some readable subtitles", it just goes to show how out of touch the industry is with how its products are actually being used.
I'm waiting on oled for several valid reasons: Price drop(especially on large screen models) Brightness issues Compression and upscaling getting better with wifi streaming(a problem on any model device) Size with better value Burn in becoming a non issue Honestly mini led or when it becomes micro led might end up beating OLED like it did plasma because of it's value and capabilities mixed with getting better and better with competing with OLED contrast and motion. 🤷 Just saying I'm going to wait because I don't have f*ck you money to want to spend 5-6000 dollars on a big screen. My 85" X90L is mostly awesome for 2k 😎
I bought a PG32UQX several years ago and was wanting something new. So I bought the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9. Me personally, I liked the vividness of the PG32UQX over the OLED. Yes, in dark scenes the OLED did look better. But was the OLED so much better in dark scenes that I wanted to give up 1400 nits of vividness in everything else? No. To me the Mini LED FALD backlight was close enough to OLED for me. There was some blooming but nothing terrible to make me keep the OLED and lose the extreme vividness the PG32UQX provided. There is just something that the brightness gave to the image and color that the OLED could not achieve. Now, if OLED could achieve the same brightness as the Mini LED, without burn-in, it would be the OLED all day long.
I want a Mini-LED gaming monitor, that is HDR compatible but has the best possible backlight strobing options for motion clarity. My old PG27VQ uses ULMB, and can get CRT-or-better motion clarity while remaining bright enough for SDR. Unfortunately, that old monitor peaks at 400nits, doesn't support HDR (8bit only), has a TN panel with an ugly anti-reflect coating and, due to archaic backlight design, has piss-poor contrast. I don't care about super high refresh, it's meaningless when you don't have the fps to match. If manufacturers get their act together, they could build today a super bright HDR LCD monitor, with lots of dimming zones for a competitive contrast, with a tweakable intensity of backlight strobing, potentially giving you HDR400 with CRT-like motion or HDR2000+ without. OLED is great for movies, but they're too dim and black frame insertion will ruin brightness while never reaching beyong Plasma motion clarity in the best of case (last example was on the CX/GX)
I've owned both and ended up keeping the OLED. But It's not even close on high APL scenes. 250 nits full screen is way too low. 400+ nits fullscreen OLED is endgame for me.
All other aspects being equal, OLED simply isn't worth the increased price and burn-in risk. Unfortunately, all other aspects are NOT equal, as we still don't have glossy miniLED
Just got my Asus PG32UCDM and compared it with my Innocn 32M2V For my untrained eye Watching SDR and HDR content there is just a mild difference between the 2 tbh. One negative about the Asus is their SPDIF output ONLY does 2.1.. does not support 5.1 speaker system
You could add things like viewing angles as a criteria of judgement. Do you include qd-oled in this. I would assume you do as woled and qd-oled behave very similarly in all these scenarios.
@cenciende9401 just personal experience dude. Played on 4k 240hz oled and 4k 240hz miniled. Easy pick miniled. Once microled monitors become a thing oled will be dead forever besides for the meat riders that can't think for themselves
think there are other categories that should have been included. depending upon the intended primary use of the monitor, the relative importance of the categories changes. I think the above should be represented in any discussion as in this video. So, for example, 'gamers' might pay more attention to Response Times, than say someone editing photos & videos, where colour gamet coverage & colour accuracy of a monitor might be of more importance to them than response times.......colur accuracy & gamet coverage being a category totally abscent from this review. Like wise, 'Productivity' (office use, Spreadsheets, word processors etc) may value text crispness & sharpness over Response Times.....but granted, text crispness also comes down to PPi which may vary from monitor to monitor regardless of the underlying tech. You kind of need to consider each use case independantly though, & maybe make recommendations for each.....so many monitor reviews seem to just focus on the gamer & ignore everyone else.

MicroLED is basically a few things better than OLED. Brighter, faster, efficient Oleds work on microseconds, Micro works on nanoseconds. OLED works in sub 1000 nits range. Micro works in over 4-5000 nits
@@Savitarax samsung qd oleds have a peak brightness of 3000 nits. Microseconds vs nanoseconds is barely (if at all!) noticable, so its not a real benefit. More efficient ok...but lacking color and contrast. So saying microLED is better than OLED is simply wrong
@@MbeezySheesh Only 3000 in a very small window, not large sizes like 25+%. I’ve rarely seen any tv show anything close to 2-3000 even the s95d and g4. Only a few HDTV tests. MicroLED is self emissive so it delivers nearly identical contrast and black levels as OLED And micro led is slated to have over 95% rec 2020. Which is completely insane and basically neon color. But I see the point. Both are very similar, but microled is just going to be better since it can get brighter without degrading lifespan and has some other cool gadgets like tiling.
There is so many monitors. What would you recommend if you are interested in playing fps such as valorant, mmos and story singleplayer games? I feel like i'm a mix of everything, and because of thast I dont know what monitor to go for. I have a ROG STRIX 4090 and a 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K
@@haukionkannel Its not so bad if you have the brightness cranked down for normal desktop use and don't ignore the pixel refreshing. A lot of people who try using oled for productivity try to push the brightness, which will increase the risk of burn in. The same can happen if you play the same game for a long period of time, as the HUD elements will largely be static.
I simply wouldn't feel comfortable just watching youtube on an oled monitor so I might aswell get a tv rather than an oled monitor they're about the same price anyways ......
2024 oled monitors are trash and dimm? where are you getting those info from? Current Gen OLED's are hitting 270-300 nits at 100% White Window Max Brightness (SDR and HDR) and 850 nits at 10% white windows.

OLEDs traditionally also have a big advantage in input lag vs zone-dimmed displays (especially in HDR) since they don't need to run a dimming algorithm that adjusts the zones on every refresh.
Yeah. I'm wondering why they don't use dual oled layer, one white one rgb using the same control split so there is no input lag difference and brightness could potentially improve too
Ya they also have even more traditional big advantages , compared to minileds(Lcd) , like with ABL 250 nits on 100% window when most top minileds gets up to 1000 nits on 100% window. and ABL in most scenes oled will always look dimmer or much dimmer ,compared to top miniled in most scenes .
Depends on the content now.
Not to mention oled monitors have even more agreesive ABL compared to the normal oled TVs .bcs of the static things , icons u having on ur monitor 24/7.
Also another huge advantage for the oled its the price , all oled monitors are dirt cheap on the market ^^.
But ya they have some top + like instant response time and infinite contrast etc. even if top miniled tvs are getting very close in this area lately, but oled still its the king there for how long ?
will see with the gen. of top miniled tvs , they already very close to the oled in that area also.
My point is no tech its perfect , both have cons and pros !
So at the end of the day stop being a fanboy , be open minded !
Mini LED if you want to use it for productivity.
This cannot be stressed enough. Hyped up, I bought a PG27AQDM, which is a really good monitor, and as my first OLED experience, delivered pretty hard in gaming and content consumption. But... knowing that there will be times where I will have to read and write a lot of text on this display, I have to say that questionable longevity of an OLED (pixel cleaning notifications are just super paranoia inducing) plus kinda terrible text on it was enough to have me buy a 4K Mini-LED instead, keeping in mind that I find blooming to not bother me at all and riding it with a 4080 super for gaming. Worthy to note is also that I am not a gigantic fan of HDR, as lower brightness levels are more pleasing to my eyes. And then there is the cost of OLED, which is certainly subject to change, but still... I just noticed that I don't really mind IPS so to speak. Let's see where we go from here!
What a dumb thing to say. It's personal preference and depends on the monitor.
Once you go oled it’s very difficult to go back to any type of LED.
This is such a bot comment because it lacks any real substance.
I went OLED, then miniLED, been extremely satisfied with both.
until your monitor burns in due to productivity usage.
Basen on what i have seen from this year Sony led…. It is not hard at all!
until MicroLED hits the market
All depends on the use case.
Movies:miniled

Well done. Agree with everything that was said apart from matte vs glossy. I switch between a matte monitor and glossy tv and I never think ‘I wish this was glossy’ when using my matte monitor).
I’ll say oled vs mini led is a very scene by scene issue. Playing Jedi survivor and all the desert scenes in the day shine on mini led far above my oled displays, meanwhile all the dark scenes look quite a bit better on my mini led monitor. No perfect display sadly but both techs are improving.
Heres hoping to see your Review of the new LG 27GR95UM which is the Best mini led Nano IPS monitor I've seen after the firmware update,it also has an ATW polarizer and 1560 zones to help with blooming. I would love to see a comparison of HDR against the QD oleds and WOLEDs monitors that you have. Keep up the good work👍
I’m hoping to get to it soon.
Keep adding the Rock Meme it's hilarious LMAO don't stop using that meme.
There are not many miniled options sadly.
I think once you get mini led to like 50-100k zones it’ll be in a really solid point.
Still won’t be able to hit the same response times though. Just by the inherent nature of the technology.
To me, contrast includes: Max vs. min brightness at 1-25% white (mini-LED), ambient contrast (glossy WOLED & VA mini-LED) and microcontrast (OLED). They should all be considered on the same level.
Either way i love my oled and will stick with it for the foreseeable future
I prefer mini LED because I worry about burn in, and because I sit next to a huge open window. and like super bright monitors (1000 nitts)
Burn in was only an issue with older OLEDs.
One does not prefer super bright monitors if one can... y'know... see.
@@x8jason8x I'm next to a bright window. so brightness is very important. I have had OLED burn in with every OLED device ive owned. further more, modern stress test on modern OLED have shown that burn in is still an issue. OLED tries to mitigate these issues by pixel refresh (which literally makes the whole display dimmer over time).
I love the look of OLED, but can't trust the technology to last over 5 years without issues (based on my use case).
its a shame dual layer LCD never took off. as that has all the pros of OLED (perfect blacks) without the negativesa of OLED (check out the Sony BVM-HX310)
@@x8jason8x burn in is still an issue on modern OLED based on all scientific testing
Super high brightness adds a lot to the experience. Giving mini LED a definite win there. But the G4 solved brightness as far as I'm concerned. I'd like a tiny bit more brightness in Film Maker mode, but it's still good enough for now.
Who the hell even uses Film maker mode, there is no reason for it to even exist it's not even what the film is supposed to look like.
@@drunkhusband6257 I use Film Maker mode. Clearly.
well i had been plague with foggy black screen and black smearing for more than 10 years, true black is still much better than foggy black
The Bravia 9 is the best of both worlds
For a tv thats 10 feet a way in a day light lit room maybe. For something 2-3 feet from your face i wouldnt want +1.5k nits.
I don't do VA panels and I'm not going back! I want the fast response and fast input lag. I don't care about bright areas and losing perfect contrast.
If there was musou black filter for led, that would be a game changer. Cheaper by having less led zones but blooming are truly filtered like the fresnel effect on crt.
Excellent points. I'm an audio/video hobbyist and know the technology pretty well but I wanted to see what others say every time this topic is brought up. For myself I have a nice LG OLED TV for all movie viewing and a decent amount of other media. For my PC monitor I have a Cooler Master mini led monitor that I really like. It has some very annoying quirks you have to toggle when using HDR but it performs great when set. I have static content on my PC for hours at a time that needs to stay there most of the time, so I can't really do OLED. Also I like the powerful brightness of true 1000+ nit HDR. Honestly I feel Mini led Local dimming is the way moving forward. Blooming can be annoying in some scenes in most gameplay it's fine. I probably don't play enough dark games and I'm not a horror fan either but definitely I'd prefer more dimming zones above any other upgrade.
I went mini-led because it was about 60% less and is close enough to oled that I can’t justify the price difference. Also I use it for working and gaming and oled is not acceptable for productivity.
I really wish OLED took off in the early years with the PS Vita. OLED was just absurdly better than the LCDs at the time and for some reason it took way longer for OLED to be taken seriously. Like I still remember the people fighting over getting the 3DS that had the IPS panels instead of the TNs because they were so much better, but OLED was even better than that and we didn't have any HDR content to use the brightness of LCDs.
OLED came out kinda late to the game and now it looks less competitive. I really wish it could have come faster.
I remember going from Gameboy to ds and the jump in panel technology was mindblowing to me as a kid lmao.
it's the burn in that scare people away. Myself included. The game ui's are static.
Old oleds were even more prone to burn in and also expensive. There is good reason why oled is ”Late”
@haukionkannel from what I can find there really isn't much record of PS Vitas burning in. And OLED displays only 2-3 years ago burned in way more often than now, but the longer the tech is out, the more it gets optimized.
I upgraded from a 1080p IPS to a 4k QD-Oled and honestly the biggest difference I noticed wasn't the resolution, the colors, the response time, or the blacks, but the GLOSSY coating holy shit you were so right dude. I now get why you're being so evangelical about this.
dude upgrading from a 1080p monitor into 4k oled doesnt count, your old monitor was so garbage, even 1440p ips or va panel without local dimming would blow you away :O
@@Tuskabanana no i can confirm the glossy finish is the biggest part i went from a 768p semi gloss tv to a matte 1440p to real glossy 1440p finish and its miles better. it just looks so much cleaner even at the same res colors pop more things look clearer its just awesome going from matte to glossy.
@@aubrynobicop6924 yeah i believe you, i will buy a glossy oled to, i have the lg27ul600 now with 26530 hours :=) and years before i bought the lg27up650 to compare it. Both Monitors got Matt coatings, but the new model got the worst cheap matt coating ever, text looked so unsharp, instantly send it back. I can imagine how clear a glossy coating will look when i even see the difference on a cheap matt against a more expensive coating.
@@Tuskabanana No my previous IPS was great, I had calibrated it well, there was very little inherent ghosting, resolution didn't usually bother me because of things like DSR and also its 24 inch size. BUT that constant eye gouging vaseline effect was always there, and now that I have a proper glossy monitor I can appreciate it being gone with zero drawbacks. Of course there's other benefits to oled! Metro Exodus Enhanced which is a dark game looks stunning for example. As I use it more I'm sure I'll keep being blown away. I wasn't saying 4k oled doesn't have its advantages, but for me the biggest and first shock was how much better the glossy coating looks.
You will notice a difference from 1080p to any 4k. You won't notice much difference between a 4k ips and oled. An oled will have blacker background, and more saturated colors. That's it. Most people obsessed with oled are people who switch from 1080p to 4k.
Mini LED for gaming and daytime PC productivity (brighter, better HDR on colorful games, and no burn-in risk using it all day for productivity.)
OLED for watching movies and TV shows at night.
OLED gives a great SDR experience in the monitor market. HDR is more impactful on miniLED, but we need more miniLED support because KTC and Innocn aren't cutting it.
HDR is trash disable it.

My Macbook m1 pro with mini led with 2596 zones looks just as good as my CX oled TV if not better overall.
Better on some content worse on other.
I hear that JOLED is "superior" to QD-OLED and WOLED in terms of text clarity due to the traditional RGB strip layout on the JOLED versus a triangle layout on the QD-OLED and a 4 strip layout on the WOLED. The INNOCN 32Q1R has a JOLED panel, is 32 inches, and is *only* 60Hz. I'm trying to decide between the 32Q1R and the INNOCN 32M2V, which is a 32 inch mini-LED 144Hz monitor. My reason for choosing the mini-LED INNOCN is because of I hear the refresh rate is appreciated when used as a main productivity monitor and it has excellent color reproduction and video quality. My question is, which would be the better choice between these two monitors? I will be using the monitor mainly for productivity (software dev, content creation, content consumption) with minimal 1080p/60fps gaming (Witcher 3, Baldur's Gate, Nintendo Switch output).
Contrast on FALD LCDs fluctuate greatly, for example in darker scenes with small bright objects (such as stars), the contrast on the mini-LED will drop to near native levels. Dark objects in extremely bright scenes may also appear too bright due to backlight spill. IMHO OLED still have clear contrast advantage even compared to minileds.
You should really see a Bravia 9 in person.
@DrakonR I'm a photographer and photoshop artist and I've never seen an LCD (including sony minileds) with natural looking contrast.
When it comes to Bravia TVs, Sony has increased the number of dimming zones to 1500-2800 (depending on screen size) in their latest mini-led TVs, but that's still nothing when you look at the totall number of pixels at 4K (8.3M).
A quote from RTINGS sony bravia 9 QLED review:
"There's some noticeable blooming that bleeds into the black bars of letterboxed movies during very bright scenes. There's also more apparent blooming when watching the TV from an angle. Finally, there's considerable blooming across the entire screen if you open any settings menu, even when hitting the volume buttons on the remote."
Even 2800 dimming zones can't cover 8.3 million pixels, no matter how advanced the backlight control is. If you know where to look, the difference is very noticeable.
Also keep in mind that we are talking about PC monitors here, and minileds on PC are not nearly as advanced as 65-85'inch TVs. The best PC Minileds have about 1000 dimming zones. They cost 3x as much as QD OLEDs, but still have much lower contrast.
@@PabloB888 wow. A lot of assumptions and they're all wrong. Definitely wouldn't be taking your professional advice.

@@DrakonR Nothing wrong about it at all. he is in fact fully right
It’s the scenes with snow and bright sunny days that kills OLED for me. I have tried tons of different panels and I’m still using my PG27UQ. I cannot wait for an upgrade that I love.
I think I might go for mini-LED because it is brighter.
It is brighter, sure, but the thing about display brightness is that your eyes adjust and gets used to whatever you have. It's like how an iPhone at low brightness still seems like a flashlight, but might look like it is completely off during day time.

I got a LG G3 TV for a year now. Its amazing but when the content is not opimized for HDR its not a lot better then LED. Especially when in a bright room during the day. Also I found that the extreme contrast almost looks unnatural as in nature you never have absence of light a few micrometer next to birght light.
I tried qd oled monitor with glossy screen, it's just too dim, the color white looks off side by side with IPS, in well lit env, the black is subtle because it's glossy, matte would make it dimmer, oled monitor is just not ready, while oled tvs are great
We are better at perceiving changes in dark tones vs light tones. Which is why OLED is so popular even if miniled gets 3-4 times as bright.
Not true at all..
@@DrakonR literally watch monitors unboxed updated testing video. They show clearly how we see changes in dark tones better than light tones.

@@DrakonR It's fine if you're a brightness queen and only/mainly concerned with that. There's no arguing on what provides subjectively better experience to you personally.
But the thing about human eyes being wat more sensitive to brightness differences in low light conditions is a well established and scientifically proven fact.
It's not that relevant when viewing high APL content in a bright room, though.
@@juanblanco7898 sure it is. It's funny how the same people who argue everyone sees things differently will argue facts when it suits their narrative.
Move along.
What we really need is IOLED. InOrganic Light Emitting Diode where the diodes don't burn-in/out. That would probably be the best all-arounder.
Led is inorganic light emitting diode
Edit: micro led is the all rounder
I went for the QD-OLED S95D. Gotta say the anti glare help doing gaming and watching movies. No mirror reflection doing dark scenes, and it has to be a strong direct window reflection to affect the picture quality. But at that point glossy would be ruined too
3 years isn't a long enough warranty period for burn-in. I'm not even replacing my CPU or GPU that quickly, let alone my monitor.
I love my mini led, it looks fantastic, the brightness cannot be overlooked, it truly makes for spectacular HDR even if the contrast isn't as good as oled.
The issue with OLED is that you can’t work with it without babying it.
The pixel cleaning and pixel shifting are both automatic on my monitor 😊
As soon as u said all mini leds have matte screens i instantly knew it already lost the fight 😂😂😂
hopefully gaming oled monitors get bfi soon since they dont have a backlight they could do it like how crts do it natively scanline which would be amazing for motion clarity due to how our eyes perceive motion itt would put oled even further ahead of lcd for gaming currently the 1080p 540hz monitors still have a slight edge over oled for comp gaming but its not large and bfi would kill lcds for competitive gaming.
OLED already killed LED a long time ago.

In terms of TVs, given that most people watch TV and movies with subtitles now, and subtitles are the main area where blooming is a issue, it's a shame that the TV/content industry hasn't latched on to this to produce an OLED "subtitles bar" which slings under the main display. The fact that TV promo shots and reviews are all about "look at this picture of a bouncing ball" and not "here are some readable subtitles", it just goes to show how out of touch the industry is with how its products are actually being used.
I'm waiting on oled for several valid reasons:
Price drop(especially on large screen models)
Brightness issues
Compression and upscaling getting better with wifi streaming(a problem on any model device)
Size with better value
Burn in becoming a non issue
Honestly mini led or when it becomes micro led might end up beating OLED like it did plasma because of it's value and capabilities mixed with getting better and better with competing with OLED contrast and motion. 🤷 Just saying I'm going to wait because I don't have f*ck you money to want to spend 5-6000 dollars on a big screen. My 85" X90L is mostly awesome for 2k 😎
I bought a PG32UQX several years ago and was wanting something new. So I bought the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9. Me personally, I liked the vividness of the PG32UQX over the OLED. Yes, in dark scenes the OLED did look better. But was the OLED so much better in dark scenes that I wanted to give up 1400 nits of vividness in everything else? No. To me the Mini LED FALD backlight was close enough to OLED for me. There was some blooming but nothing terrible to make me keep the OLED and lose the extreme vividness the PG32UQX provided. There is just something that the brightness gave to the image and color that the OLED could not achieve. Now, if OLED could achieve the same brightness as the Mini LED, without burn-in, it would be the OLED all day long.
I want a Mini-LED gaming monitor, that is HDR compatible but has the best possible backlight strobing options for motion clarity.
My old PG27VQ uses ULMB, and can get CRT-or-better motion clarity while remaining bright enough for SDR.
Unfortunately, that old monitor peaks at 400nits, doesn't support HDR (8bit only), has a TN panel with an ugly anti-reflect coating and, due to archaic backlight design, has piss-poor contrast. I don't care about super high refresh, it's meaningless when you don't have the fps to match.
If manufacturers get their act together, they could build today a super bright HDR LCD monitor, with lots of dimming zones for a competitive contrast, with a tweakable intensity of backlight strobing, potentially giving you HDR400 with CRT-like motion or HDR2000+ without.
OLED is great for movies, but they're too dim and black frame insertion will ruin brightness while never reaching beyong Plasma motion clarity in the best of case (last example was on the CX/GX)
I've owned both and ended up keeping the OLED. But It's not even close on high APL scenes. 250 nits full screen is way too low. 400+ nits fullscreen OLED is endgame for me.
All other aspects being equal, OLED simply isn't worth the increased price and burn-in risk. Unfortunately, all other aspects are NOT equal, as we still don't have glossy miniLED
Just got my Asus PG32UCDM and compared it with my Innocn 32M2V
For my untrained eye Watching SDR and HDR content there is just a mild difference between the 2 tbh.
One negative about the Asus is their SPDIF output ONLY does 2.1.. does not support 5.1 speaker system
great video as always my good sir 👍👍
Yes, OLED is better. Input lag, response times, contrast.
You could add things like viewing angles as a criteria of judgement.
Do you include qd-oled in this. I would assume you do as woled and qd-oled behave very similarly in all these scenarios.

@cenciende9401 just personal experience dude. Played on 4k 240hz oled and 4k 240hz miniled. Easy pick miniled. Once microled monitors become a thing oled will be dead forever besides for the meat riders that can't think for themselves
why are you comparing a 480hz oled to a 144hz IPS?
I'd take GLOSSY plain shitty-old 1000:1 IPS over any grainy-dull-paper-matte OLED or even microLED altogether.
think there are other categories that should have been included.
depending upon the intended primary use of the monitor, the relative importance of the categories changes.
I think the above should be represented in any discussion as in this video.
So, for example, 'gamers' might pay more attention to Response Times, than say someone editing photos & videos, where colour gamet coverage & colour accuracy of a monitor might be of more importance to them than response times.......colur accuracy & gamet coverage being a category totally abscent from this review. Like wise, 'Productivity' (office use, Spreadsheets, word processors etc) may value text crispness & sharpness over Response Times.....but granted, text crispness also comes down to PPi which may vary from monitor to monitor regardless of the underlying tech.
You kind of need to consider each use case independantly though, & maybe make recommendations for each.....so many monitor reviews seem to just focus on the gamer & ignore everyone else.
Oled due to response times.

And micro led is slated to have over 95% rec 2020. Which is completely insane and basically neon color. But I see the point. Both are very similar, but microled is just going to be better since it can get brighter without degrading lifespan and has some other cool gadgets like tiling.

@@ElGrueso Real world use that's still too dim, hitting 270-300nits is not the same as sustaining 270-300nits even "if" it can which it cant 270-300nits is still dim af, 800nits is bright, but I'm not going to watch media or game on a 10% window
@@o0PRiNGER0o 270-300 is at 100% white windows max sustained brightness, no one watch anything at 300 100% white widows brightness, and G4 hitting 1500 nits sustained brightness at 10% is super impressive which is brighter than some Mini-LED out there and thats not even considering the color that pops with the infinite contrast level. If that is too dim for you I dont know how u were even watching a TV before 2022 🤷🏻♂️ There is reason why LG G4, A95L and S95D has the best rating ever on Rting even higher than the brightness Mini-LED out there. Besides the TV is not all about brightness…
@@ElGrueso I am well aware of how bright TVs can be owner of a G4 myself no argument in that, I was under the impression we're talking about oled PC monitors
