OLED TVs

OLED TVs use self-emissive pixels: each point in the image produces its own light and switches off completely to display black. The result is absolute black and very high contrast, with no halo around bright areas, delivered by a slim panel and wide viewing angles that keep the image stable when viewed from the side. Near-instant response time, 120 Hz, VRR and HDMI 2.1 compatibility suit video gaming, while HDR, in Dolby Vision or HDR10+, refines gradations and color accuracy. One trade-off: OLED performs at its best in a dimly lit room, whereas Mini LED backlighting delivers higher brightness in daylight. Image retention remains rare with varied use, mitigated by pixel shifting and refresh cycles. This selection of high-definition televisions brings together models with OLED panels. To compare them with QLED and Mini LED, our guide which TV technology to choose provides an overview, and a soundbar usefully complements their built-in audio.
