<div class="PlainText">Hi Tim,<br>
<br>
I'll try to answer your questions by example. We have a Vizio 4k LCD<br>
TV (like the QLED you mented) and an LG 4K OLED (C1 model) and there<br>
are definitely pros and cons, which are roughly:<br>
-- both are 4K, which has more horizontal pixels than the UHD you<br>
mentioned. UHD means 3840x2160 (exactly four times HD), and 4K is<br>
4096x2160, or 256 pixels wider than UHD. I'd just get a 4k tv.<br>
-- QLED is brighter as it is transmissive light from LEDs behind the<br>
LCD film that may have quantum dots in it if it is a Samsung (I think<br>
it's more marketing)<br>
-- OLED has MUCH better black levels and contrast since it is emits<br>
light from the pixels, no backlight, so when a pixel is off it is<br>
pitch black. Watching previously seen movies and shows on the OLED<br>
revealed a lot of detail that I had previously missed (think Lord of<br>
the Rings, Batman, GoTs, etc.)<br>
-- the OLED has wider viewing angles<br>
-- the OLED is faster responding for sports and fast action sequences,<br>
but you can get fast QLED<br>
-- QLED/LED is cheaper than OLED, but you should be able to get either<br>
for grand during Black Friday/Cyber Monday<br>
-- OLED, least the LG, is super thin and VERY fragile. Our LED TV has<br>
been beat on for years, including kids throwing balls, Nintendo<br>
controllers, etc., but one hot of the OLED by a 5 year old with a<br>
barbie doll rendered it inoperable with a nickel-sized shallow dent in<br>
a corner. May not be a concern, but we keep kids away from the OLED.<br>
-- The OLED we have has HDR and I've turned it on/off and I think I<br>
might see a little more color depth with it on, but it's marginal for<br>
my old eyes. :)<br>
<br>
If I didn't have an OLED, I would probably get one just for the black<br>
levels and contrast, but I would not get it if my TV room is very<br>
sunny (ours is in the basement).<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Ian<br>

think this is in part because it gets totally powered off by the Monster Power surge protector and power filter that I use for my sound system and flat screen. So, the term "borrowed time" has a short clock right now.<br>
