OLED TVs

What is an OLED TV?

OLED TVs differ quite significantly from standard TVs because of their use of Organic Light Emitting Diodes and have no need for a backlight array to make images visible. Instead, OLED pixels themselves actually produce their own light.

Because OLED pixels are self-illuminating, they can turn on and off individually, depending on the needs of the image. This allows OLED TVs to display images with strong contrast ratios and more detail.

OLED TVs are also incredibly responsive, so they’re a popular choice amongst gamers, due to their low rates of input lag.

Are OLED TVs better than QLED TVs?

OLED TVs and QLED TVs each have their own unique benefits. OLED TVs for instance have unrivalled contrast ratios. This means black values are actually rendered accurately, and contrasting colours are allowed a greater chance to shine. This high contrast ratio makes OLED TVs fantastic for soaking in all of the detail in your favourite films, TV shows, and games.

QLED TVs, on the other hand, are renowned for delivering total accuracy with every on-screen colour. The quantum dots packed into these TVs can combine together in all kinds of unique ways to recreate specific wavelengths of light for accurate colour recreation. They’re great for enjoying colourful 4K content!

How long do OLED TVs last?

OLED TVs can easily last in excess of 10 years with the right amount of care. However, in order for your OLED TV to last as long as this, you’ll want to make sure to provide it with the perfect amount of care.

The best way to extend the lifespan of an OLED display is to lower its overall brightness. Excessive brightness can put a significant strain on the pixels of OLED TVs, causing them to degrade at a faster rate. Reducing the brightness of the TV by just a few increments can help to lessen the strain on OLED pixels.

Why choose an OLED TV?

OLED TVs make use of special self-illuminating pixels that provide their own light. Not only does this make OLEDs much skinnier, because they don’t need a backlight, but it also means they can provide striking contrast. When needed, the pixels can turn off individually, allowing for true black values that help the on-screen colour to shine even more clearly.
