if you can't tell the difference between a nice OLED and an average LCD then you need your eyeballs checked.
It’s not just about oled vs lcd. There’s a huge difference between backlight arrays in cheap lcds vs expensive lcds. And there’s still benefits to choosing lcd over oled. Either way, some people just don’t care about image quality. I have a friend that claims he still can’t tell the difference between dvd and Blu-ray, or 4k Blu-ray.
sure, it was just an extreme example. the point is the article is nonsense.
It might be kind of helpful for like a portion of the population. Maybe.
maybe if they said "expensive TVs are not worth it for some people" but 1) that's not what they said, and 2) that's obvious and doesn't need analysis anyway.
Fair
There’s plenty of people in this very thread who are super proud of their 7 year old $300 nameless small tvs
The people:
My girlfriend has a shit 300$ 4k tcl and fwiw the difference between my midrange Samsung and higher end Visio and her shit tcl is definitely not $1000+ in my opinion.
Happy I have the better quality for sure
I can tell OLED and regular LED or LCD apart, but that type of improvement never seemed worth it to me. Maybe I should have checked out some specific content on it, but OLED never really blew my mind.
that's perfectly reasonable, everyone will have a different cost/benefit calculation. But that's a lot different than saying expensive TVs aren't actually better.
