OLED is one new technology. It stands for Organic light emitting diode. QLED is a similar concept — quantum light emitting diode. Both work without a backlight so you get deeper blacks and better contrast. Paul > On Jan 25, 2018, at 3:59 AM, J.C. O'Connell wrote: > > Isnt

Re: 4k tv, monitor, watching movies, displaying photos

Yep. My 65-inch 1080P Panasonic plasma failed after about 13 months, and it took the service people a month to figure out what was wrong. On the other hand my first flat panel, an 10K 60-inch Pioneer 720p was great for about 6 years. But Pioneer was losing money on Plasmas, even with sky high

Re: 4k tv, monitor, watching movies, displaying photos

Indeed, as Paul wrote, plasma screens have a very high quality picture. But, they are the most unreliable TV sets. In my work, I've learned about those from the people who were very close to (or even worked for) the R department of one of the major TV manufacturers. Roughly, a half of the

Plasmas are pretty much extinct. I bought the last of the Panasonic plasmas when they discontinued that line, because they do have a superb and very natural picture. But they weren’t profitable for the manufacturers. I also have a Samsung QLED, which is also very good, if not quite a match for

Re: 4k tv, monitor, watching movies, displaying photos

The TVs all have a display mode meant to really pop in brightly lit stores. That’s why they’re oversaturated. You can dial them in to any level you prefer, and video buff sites frequently have recommended settings for different brands. A 44 inch TV is very affordable these days. LG OLED models

Re: 4k tv, monitor, watching movies, displaying photos

Larry, Just to address the oversaturated look at the stores: It's a fad of the past NN years. So, I believe, the demo is designed to run in the "high-saturation" mode, whatever it might be called with the particular brand/model. There are typical presets that are "sports, movies,

4k tv, monitor, watching movies, displaying photos

I have been seriously considering doing something I've never done before, buying a TV. I don't watch much TV and all of mine have been hand me downs. I almost bought one about 15 years ago, but then my dad passed away and I inherited his. My ideal would be to get a 4K (UHD) in the 30-40 inch
