There are few things more complicated than finding the right TV to buy. For many of us, it's a big purchase, and you want to make sure you're getting something that's going to last and look good. So, to help everyone planning to buy a new TV in 2022, here's what to look for and the differences between OLED and QLED. Let's break it down!

I can't take this comparison seriously when he's comparing a top-tier OLED to a TCL as opposed to the top tier Samsung

Got a 65-inch LG OLED specifically for occasional evening movies. I knew the requirements for dim lighting, and in that environment it's just brilliant. The only thing I regretted later was not getting the 75-inch panel :)

I own both the 65" and the 77" LG OLED sets. My personal make or break decision came down to not only the black level, but especially the viewing angles. Both technologies have an outstanding picture when you view directly from the front, but make sure you are comfortable with the black levels & viewing angles vs. the price before you buy. And for you gamers, I set up the "instant response" game port on the LG 77" to an HP OMEN 45L with GeForce RTX 3080 and run MS Flight Sim 2020 at 4K resolution with no jitters. Flying the MSFS 2020 / TOP GUN / F-18 low level challenges are truly amazing on this configuration.

Having multiple of both LGs OLED and Samsung's QLED, I am all-in on Samsung QLED.
1) Costs less
2) OLED has burn-in, despite their lies that it doesn't. This alone is a show stopper for me. Very noticeable, very annoying.
3) I have Samsung TVs outside. One was on a mobile stand and got hit by a large amount of rain because I failed to put it somewhere safe. Thought it was toast. Right after, it looked like washed out mountains from water in the layers of the screen. However, within weeks of use it just faded back out completely. Years later, still going strong.
4) Warranty. I always buy the extended warranty (4 or 5 years). Samsung has always honored it, no questions. LG refused to fix the TV with burn in it claims can't happen.
5) Samsung's are much better in bright light.

Will never buy an LG again.

Just got my Lg c1 65 yesterday delivered and I’m so happy with it, can’t complain.👍👍👍

If you get a QLED, make sure it has FULL ARRAY local dimming. (Not edge-lit) Helps with the contrast ratio.

Been watching since the techno buffalo days but lost track of your channel over the years today I saw a friendly face and decided to stop by. Glad your still doing well Jon, take care.

I got the LG C2 42 inch for my desktop PC which also doubles as bedroom TV...couldn't be happier. Best display I've ever bought.

And to confuse things… there will be new TVs this year with Quantum Dot OLED panels.

Nice video. I just got a 65” LG C1 and I’m pretty happy with it.

QLEDS can get close to OLEDs when it comes to black levels especially with a good local dimming algorithm. But OLEDs can't even get near the level of brightness a QLED can hit. I'll take the picture which can show me a brighter highlights over "perfect blacks".

It is refreshing to find such unbiased and easily understood advice. Thanks

My Samsung q9fn still looks great! I enjoy every moment with ps5! No burn in risk. Great black. Great colors. Great brightness!

[avaloneyeworks]

I've had an LG OLED since 2017. I've had the panel replaced 3 years into it for significant burn-in. I understand that they are addressing that issue still and I honestly don't trust they've solved it from all I've researched. The TV is now in need of yet another new panel and as it's out of warranty (LG will honor one panel replacement out-of-warranty apparently). I'm not convinced the issue is solved. Therefore, I personally would NOT recommend an OLED until they solve the problem.

Your outro about loving whatever we wind up getting was really reassuring lol thanks. Great video

I took on the role as “tech support” for my family at 14 not knowing what I was getting myself into...

Baseline -
OLED: If have Budget and low Sunlight coming-in
QLED: If you're low on budget or having huge sunlight coming

Great video! I work in home theater at Best Buy and talk about this stuff all the time!

Just bought a Samsung QLED 65" 80A panel for $730 + tax usd with a two year warranty from MicroCenter. Samsung warranty is nearly worthless. Dealing with a local store is much easier, if something goes belly up.
