Recently bought a Hisense 55 inch U8K mini LED. Absolutely blew me away. Found some really good picture settings from Reddit and it looks just as good as OLED. The contrast is unbelievable, the blacks are damn near OLED blacks and I paid only $699. Mini LED is the way to go!
I also bought the Hisense u8k back in December and it's such a good TV specially those speakers, did not expect them to sound that good. Mind sharing those setting ? haven't messed with my TV settings that much since I got it.

OLEDs traditionally also have a big advantage in input lag vs zone-dimmed displays (especially in HDR) since they don't need to run a dimming algorithm that adjusts the zones on every refresh.
Yeah. I'm wondering why they don't use dual oled layer, one white one rgb using the same control split so there is no input lag difference and brightness could potentially improve too
Ya they also have even more traditional big advantages , compared to minileds(Lcd) , like with ABL 250 nits on 100% window when most top minileds gets up to 1000 nits on 100% window. and ABL in most scenes oled will always look dimmer or much dimmer ,compared to top miniled in most scenes . Depends on the content now. Not to mention oled monitors have even more agreesive ABL compared to the normal oled TVs .bcs of the static things , icons u having on ur monitor 24/7. Also another huge advantage for the oled its the price , all oled monitors are dirt cheap on the market ^^. But ya they have some top + like instant response time and infinite contrast etc. even if top miniled tvs are getting very close in this area lately, but oled still its the king there for how long ? will see with the gen. of top miniled tvs , they already very close to the oled in that area also. My point is no tech its perfect , both have cons and pros ! So at the end of the day stop being a fanboy , be open minded !
Mini LED for gaming and daytime PC productivity (brighter, better HDR on colorful games, and no burn-in risk using it all day for productivity.) OLED for watching movies and TV shows at night.
This cannot be stressed enough. Hyped up, I bought a PG27AQDM, which is a really good monitor, and as my first OLED experience, delivered pretty hard in gaming and content consumption. But... knowing that there will be times where I will have to read and write a lot of text on this display, I have to say that questionable longevity of an OLED (pixel cleaning notifications are just super paranoia inducing) plus kinda terrible text on it was enough to have me buy a 4K Mini-LED instead, keeping in mind that I find blooming to not bother me at all and riding it with a 4080 super for gaming. Worthy to note is also that I am not a gigantic fan of HDR, as lower brightness levels are more pleasing to my eyes. And then there is the cost of OLED, which is certainly subject to change, but still... I just noticed that I don't really mind IPS so to speak. Let's see where we go from here!
This is why I’m going with that. I don’t just game and watch movies/videos but I also work from home 8 hours a day. OLED is impractical for that and will surely get some burn-in within a year with the amount of daily use I get.
@@Stuke51 Yep, people forget that OLED was invented as a TV technology, it was never designed for PC usage. As a media consumption panel it excels, but for anything outside of that it struggles compared to your average LCD panel. Eventually they'll figure out how to prevent the burn in and bump up the brightness in bright rooms, but then cost is still an issue. The problem is that by the time OLED can be used for PC productivity we'll have Mini LED monitors with thousands of dimming zones and possibly Micro LED, which might be superior to OLED for PC usage, in theory at least.
Well done. Agree with everything that was said apart from matte vs glossy. I switch between a matte monitor and glossy tv and I never think ‘I wish this was glossy’ when using my matte monitor). I’ll say oled vs mini led is a very scene by scene issue. Playing Jedi survivor and all the desert scenes in the day shine on mini led far above my oled displays, meanwhile all the dark scenes look quite a bit better on my mini led monitor. No perfect display sadly but both techs are improving.
Heres hoping to see your Review of the new LG 27GR95UM which is the Best mini led Nano IPS monitor I've seen after the firmware update,it also has an ATW polarizer and 1560 zones to help with blooming. I would love to see a comparison of HDR against the QD oleds and WOLEDs monitors that you have. Keep up the good work👍
Honestly, I have a MacBook Pro m3 and the mini led screen it has is the best looking laptop screen I have ever seen. A lot of it comes down to implementation
I went mini-led because it was about 60% less and is close enough to oled that I can’t justify the price difference. Also I use it for working and gaming and oled is not acceptable for productivity.
To me, contrast includes: Max vs. min brightness at 1-25% white (mini-LED), ambient contrast (glossy WOLED & VA mini-LED) and microcontrast (OLED). They should all be considered on the same level.
Super high brightness adds a lot to the experience. Giving mini LED a definite win there. But the G4 solved brightness as far as I'm concerned. I'd like a tiny bit more brightness in Film Maker mode, but it's still good enough for now.
Excellent points. I'm an audio/video hobbyist and know the technology pretty well but I wanted to see what others say every time this topic is brought up. For myself I have a nice LG OLED TV for all movie viewing and a decent amount of other media. For my PC monitor I have a Cooler Master mini led monitor that I really like. It has some very annoying quirks you have to toggle when using HDR but it performs great when set. I have static content on my PC for hours at a time that needs to stay there most of the time, so I can't really do OLED. Also I like the powerful brightness of true 1000+ nit HDR. Honestly I feel Mini led Local dimming is the way moving forward. Blooming can be annoying in some scenes in most gameplay it's fine. I probably don't play enough dark games and I'm not a horror fan either but definitely I'd prefer more dimming zones above any other upgrade.
If there was musou black filter for led, that would be a game changer. Cheaper by having less led zones but blooming are truly filtered like the fresnel effect on crt.
@@x8jason8x I'm next to a bright window. so brightness is very important. I have had OLED burn in with every OLED device ive owned. further more, modern stress test on modern OLED have shown that burn in is still an issue. OLED tries to mitigate these issues by pixel refresh (which literally makes the whole display dimmer over time). I love the look of OLED, but can't trust the technology to last over 5 years without issues (based on my use case). its a shame dual layer LCD never took off. as that has all the pros of OLED (perfect blacks) without the negativesa of OLED (check out the Sony BVM-HX310)
@@x8jason8x Text looks worse on an OLED panel too, it's not just about burn in. OLED also struggles in rooms that get a lot of light as most OLED panels just don't get bright enough. So it's not as black and white as you try to make it out to be, it's very much a case of what are you using it for, and where is the panel going to be located.
@@acurisur Cool story! Now show me where I disputed light levels. I call BS on your text nonsense though, that's all DPI to monitor size, it has zero to do with the type of screen... but I've zero issues on my 48" C1. YMMV
@@DrakonR It's fine if you're a brightness queen and only/mainly concerned with that. There's no arguing on what provides subjectively better experience to you personally. But the thing about human eyes being wat more sensitive to brightness differences in low light conditions is a well established and scientifically proven fact. It's not that relevant when viewing high APL content in a bright room, though.
@@juanblanco7898 sure it is. It's funny how the same people who argue everyone sees things differently will argue facts when it suits their narrative. Move along.
Contrast on FALD LCDs fluctuate greatly, for example in darker scenes with small bright objects (such as stars), the contrast on the mini-LED will drop to near native levels. Dark objects in extremely bright scenes may also appear too bright due to backlight spill. IMHO OLED still have clear contrast advantage even compared to minileds.
@DrakonR I'm a photographer and photoshop artist and I've never seen an LCD (including sony minileds) with natural looking contrast. When it comes to Bravia TVs, Sony has increased the number of dimming zones to 1500-2800 (depending on screen size) in their latest mini-led TVs, but that's still nothing when you look at the totall number of pixels at 4K (8.3M). A quote from RTINGS sony bravia 9 QLED review: "There's some noticeable blooming that bleeds into the black bars of letterboxed movies during very bright scenes. There's also more apparent blooming when watching the TV from an angle. Finally, there's considerable blooming across the entire screen if you open any settings menu, even when hitting the volume buttons on the remote." Even 2800 dimming zones can't cover 8.3 million pixels, no matter how advanced the backlight control is. If you know where to look, the difference is very noticeable. Also keep in mind that we are talking about PC monitors here, and minileds on PC are not nearly as advanced as 65-85'inch TVs. The best PC Minileds have about 1000 dimming zones. They cost 3x as much as QD OLEDs, but still have much lower contrast.
@@PabloB888 most LCD (mini LED) lovers here are just Sony fan boys or ppl who havent even tried top tier OLED displays. Makes me laugh when they are saying OLEDs are dim or afraid of burn ins... its 2024 and burns ins are something least I'm worried about.
I've owned both and ended up keeping the OLED. But It's not even close on high APL scenes. 250 nits full screen is way too low. 400+ nits fullscreen OLED is endgame for me.
It is brighter, sure, but the thing about display brightness is that your eyes adjust and gets used to whatever you have. It's like how an iPhone at low brightness still seems like a flashlight, but might look like it is completely off during day time.
@@PD-ws4tdive tried a qd oled monitor and ive returned it so fast, the desktop does look better but hdr is so muted and i can't go back to fortnite or any game that isn't 1k nits fullscreen
It’s the scenes with snow and bright sunny days that kills OLED for me. I have tried tons of different panels and I’m still using my PG27UQ. I cannot wait for an upgrade that I love.
I hear that JOLED is "superior" to QD-OLED and WOLED in terms of text clarity due to the traditional RGB strip layout on the JOLED versus a triangle layout on the QD-OLED and a 4 strip layout on the WOLED. The INNOCN 32Q1R has a JOLED panel, is 32 inches, and is *only* 60Hz. I'm trying to decide between the 32Q1R and the INNOCN 32M2V, which is a 32 inch mini-LED 144Hz monitor. My reason for choosing the mini-LED INNOCN is because of I hear the refresh rate is appreciated when used as a main productivity monitor and it has excellent color reproduction and video quality. My question is, which would be the better choice between these two monitors? I will be using the monitor mainly for productivity (software dev, content creation, content consumption) with minimal 1080p/60fps gaming (Witcher 3, Baldur's Gate, Nintendo Switch output).
I really wish OLED took off in the early years with the PS Vita. OLED was just absurdly better than the LCDs at the time and for some reason it took way longer for OLED to be taken seriously. Like I still remember the people fighting over getting the 3DS that had the IPS panels instead of the TNs because they were so much better, but OLED was even better than that and we didn't have any HDR content to use the brightness of LCDs. OLED came out kinda late to the game and now it looks less competitive. I really wish it could have come faster.
@haukionkannel from what I can find there really isn't much record of PS Vitas burning in. And OLED displays only 2-3 years ago burned in way more often than now, but the longer the tech is out, the more it gets optimized.
I got a LG G3 TV for a year now. Its amazing but when the content is not opimized for HDR its not a lot better then LED. Especially when in a bright room during the day. Also I found that the extreme contrast almost looks unnatural as in nature you never have absence of light a few micrometer next to birght light.
I upgraded from a 1080p IPS to a 4k QD-Oled and honestly the biggest difference I noticed wasn't the resolution, the colors, the response time, or the blacks, but the GLOSSY coating holy shit you were so right dude. I now get why you're being so evangelical about this.
dude upgrading from a 1080p monitor into 4k oled doesnt count, your old monitor was so garbage, even 1440p ips or va panel without local dimming would blow you away :O
@@Tuskabanana no i can confirm the glossy finish is the biggest part i went from a 768p semi gloss tv to a matte 1440p to real glossy 1440p finish and its miles better. it just looks so much cleaner even at the same res colors pop more things look clearer its just awesome going from matte to glossy.
@@aubrynobicop6924 yeah i believe you, i will buy a glossy oled to, i have the lg27ul600 now with 26530 hours :=) and years before i bought the lg27up650 to compare it. Both Monitors got Matt coatings, but the new model got the worst cheap matt coating ever, text looked so unsharp, instantly send it back. I can imagine how clear a glossy coating will look when i even see the difference on a cheap matt against a more expensive coating.
@@Tuskabanana No my previous IPS was great, I had calibrated it well, there was very little inherent ghosting, resolution didn't usually bother me because of things like DSR and also its 24 inch size. BUT that constant eye gouging vaseline effect was always there, and now that I have a proper glossy monitor I can appreciate it being gone with zero drawbacks. Of course there's other benefits to oled! Metro Exodus Enhanced which is a dark game looks stunning for example. As I use it more I'm sure I'll keep being blown away. I wasn't saying 4k oled doesn't have its advantages, but for me the biggest and first shock was how much better the glossy coating looks.
You will notice a difference from 1080p to any 4k. You won't notice much difference between a 4k ips and oled. An oled will have blacker background, and more saturated colors. That's it. Most people obsessed with oled are people who switch from 1080p to 4k.
If you rich buy both but if you dont buy only Mini-LED Well i got Mini-LED and never had a OLED because i dont wanna get burn in.. I will buy QD-OLED when is free from burn in lol
I tried qd oled monitor with glossy screen, it's just too dim, the color white looks off side by side with IPS, in well lit env, the black is subtle because it's glossy, matte would make it dimmer, oled monitor is just not ready, while oled tvs are great
I love my mini led, it looks fantastic, the brightness cannot be overlooked, it truly makes for spectacular HDR even if the contrast isn't as good as oled.
I bought a PG32UQX several years ago and was wanting something new. So I bought the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9. Me personally, I liked the vividness of the PG32UQX over the OLED. Yes, in dark scenes the OLED did look better. But was the OLED so much better in dark scenes that I wanted to give up 1400 nits of vividness in everything else? No. To me the Mini LED FALD backlight was close enough to OLED for me. There was some blooming but nothing terrible to make me keep the OLED and lose the extreme vividness the PG32UQX provided. There is just something that the brightness gave to the image and color that the OLED could not achieve. Now, if OLED could achieve the same brightness as the Mini LED, without burn-in, it would be the OLED all day long.
hopefully gaming oled monitors get bfi soon since they dont have a backlight they could do it like how crts do it natively scanline which would be amazing for motion clarity due to how our eyes perceive motion itt would put oled even further ahead of lcd for gaming currently the 1080p 540hz monitors still have a slight edge over oled for comp gaming but its not large and bfi would kill lcds for competitive gaming.
I went for the QD-OLED S95D. Gotta say the anti glare help doing gaming and watching movies. No mirror reflection doing dark scenes, and it has to be a strong direct window reflection to affect the picture quality. But at that point glossy would be ruined too
I think once you get mini led to like 50-100k zones it’ll be in a really solid point. Still won’t be able to hit the same response times though. Just by the inherent nature of the technology.
4k has 8,294,400 pixels which act like dimming zones since each pixel can turn on/off 100k zones will give you more contrast closer to oled but its still going to be meh
I will honest. I dont like my oled experience as much as i enjoyed my ips led monitor experience from eve device's (now dough). The ips was really close to oled but with the oled its simply not broght enough. Yes i find that the blacks are too black. I think i will try mini led tv next and switch to mini led monitor later down the road too
OLED gives a great SDR experience in the monitor market. HDR is more impactful on miniLED, but we need more miniLED support because KTC and Innocn aren't cutting it.
In terms of TVs, given that most people watch TV and movies with subtitles now, and subtitles are the main area where blooming is a issue, it's a shame that the TV/content industry hasn't latched on to this to produce an OLED "subtitles bar" which slings under the main display. The fact that TV promo shots and reviews are all about "look at this picture of a bouncing ball" and not "here are some readable subtitles", it just goes to show how out of touch the industry is with how its products are actually being used.
All other aspects being equal, OLED simply isn't worth the increased price and burn-in risk. Unfortunately, all other aspects are NOT equal, as we still don't have glossy miniLED
It really pisses me off that company's STILL are not making ENOUGH "Glossy" versions. This has been a problem for like at least 20 YEARS.... I don't know why they don't make a "couple" of good monitors, give us each size of the monitor, AND give us a Glossy and Matte version. Allow us to CHOOSE what we want.... instead of dictating to us, and making a million different monitors wasting money.
Every oled is so dim that you need to increase brigness multitude times to get even near to need to protect your eyes. Cloydy day outside = no need eye protestiin. Is about 20000 to 40000 nits ”full screen”! Oled tv 250 nits fullscreeen… we are not there yet
@@haukionkannel B9 measured 2,280 nits in Standard mode on a 10% white window test pattern with HDR, and 1,871 nits in Movie mode. Full-screen brightness with the Bravia 9 measures 708 nits on a white 100% pattern in Standard mode and 495 nits in Movie mode and S95D peak brightness at 1,868 nits and 1,688 nits on the same 10% HDR white window in Standard and Filmmaker picture preset modes, respectively. It also measured 427 and 318 nits full-screen brightness. Bravia 9 Mini-LED is brighter but it doesnt leave top Tier OLED much behind, beside thanks to the infinite contrast colors just pops like 3D unlike lifted black of Mini-LED and smearing thanks to VA based tech.
You could add things like viewing angles as a criteria of judgement. Do you include qd-oled in this. I would assume you do as woled and qd-oled behave very similarly in all these scenarios.
Just got my Asus PG32UCDM and compared it with my Innocn 32M2V For my untrained eye Watching SDR and HDR content there is just a mild difference between the 2 tbh. One negative about the Asus is their SPDIF output ONLY does 2.1.. does not support 5.1 speaker system
@@haukionkannel Its not so bad if you have the brightness cranked down for normal desktop use and don't ignore the pixel refreshing. A lot of people who try using oled for productivity try to push the brightness, which will increase the risk of burn in. The same can happen if you play the same game for a long period of time, as the HUD elements will largely be static.
MicroLED is basically a few things better than OLED. Brighter, faster, efficient Oleds work on microseconds, Micro works on nanoseconds. OLED works in sub 1000 nits range. Micro works in over 4-5000 nits
@@Savitarax samsung qd oleds have a peak brightness of 3000 nits. Microseconds vs nanoseconds is barely (if at all!) noticable, so its not a real benefit. More efficient ok...but lacking color and contrast. So saying microLED is better than OLED is simply wrong
@@MbeezySheesh Only 3000 in a very small window, not large sizes like 25+%. I’ve rarely seen any tv show anything close to 2-3000 even the s95d and g4. Only a few HDTV tests. MicroLED is self emissive so it delivers nearly identical contrast and black levels as OLED And micro led is slated to have over 95% rec 2020. Which is completely insane and basically neon color. But I see the point. Both are very similar, but microled is just going to be better since it can get brighter without degrading lifespan and has some other cool gadgets like tiling.
think there are other categories that should have been included. depending upon the intended primary use of the monitor, the relative importance of the categories changes. I think the above should be represented in any discussion as in this video. So, for example, 'gamers' might pay more attention to Response Times, than say someone editing photos & videos, where colour gamet coverage & colour accuracy of a monitor might be of more importance to them than response times.......colur accuracy & gamet coverage being a category totally abscent from this review. Like wise, 'Productivity' (office use, Spreadsheets, word processors etc) may value text crispness & sharpness over Response Times.....but granted, text crispness also comes down to PPi which may vary from monitor to monitor regardless of the underlying tech. You kind of need to consider each use case independantly though, & maybe make recommendations for each.....so many monitor reviews seem to just focus on the gamer & ignore everyone else.
2v2 customs MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 & GIGABYTE AORUS FO27Q2(announced so far) VS LG ULTRAGEAR OLED 27GS95QE-B & ASUS ROG STRIX OLED XG27AQDMG this will be a direct head2head
I want a Mini-LED gaming monitor, that is HDR compatible but has the best possible backlight strobing options for motion clarity. My old PG27VQ uses ULMB, and can get CRT-or-better motion clarity while remaining bright enough for SDR. Unfortunately, that old monitor peaks at 400nits, doesn't support HDR (8bit only), has a TN panel with an ugly anti-reflect coating and, due to archaic backlight design, has piss-poor contrast. I don't care about super high refresh, it's meaningless when you don't have the fps to match. If manufacturers get their act together, they could build today a super bright HDR LCD monitor, with lots of dimming zones for a competitive contrast, with a tweakable intensity of backlight strobing, potentially giving you HDR400 with CRT-like motion or HDR2000+ without. OLED is great for movies, but they're too dim and black frame insertion will ruin brightness while never reaching beyong Plasma motion clarity in the best of case (last example was on the CX/GX)
I'm waiting on oled for several valid reasons: Price drop(especially on large screen models) Brightness issues Compression and upscaling getting better with wifi streaming(a problem on any model device) Size with better value Burn in becoming a non issue Honestly mini led or when it becomes micro led might end up beating OLED like it did plasma because of it's value and capabilities mixed with getting better and better with competing with OLED contrast and motion. 🤷 Just saying I'm going to wait because I don't have f*ck you money to want to spend 5-6000 dollars on a big screen. My 85" X90L is mostly awesome for 2k 😎
There is so many monitors. What would you recommend if you are interested in playing fps such as valorant, mmos and story singleplayer games? I feel like i'm a mix of everything, and because of thast I dont know what monitor to go for. I have a ROG STRIX 4090 and a 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K
I simply wouldn't feel comfortable just watching youtube on an oled monitor so I might aswell get a tv rather than an oled monitor they're about the same price anyways ......
Depends what you're using it for. If you're just watching movies/tv, then go OLED. Anything outside of that, Mini LED would be more suitable. It's not just the burn in issue of OLED that makes people look at Mini LED, because even if you get zero burn in, text looks awful on an OLED panel compared to a Mini LED panel.
@cenciende9401 just personal experience dude. Played on 4k 240hz oled and 4k 240hz miniled. Easy pick miniled. Once microled monitors become a thing oled will be dead forever besides for the meat riders that can't think for themselves
Its contrast. No blooming which gives you a pure picture compared to any mini led with blooming. The blooming ties into the colors giving it a milky washed out image. Which as well QD-OLEDS sorta have the same issue in a round about way

Recently bought a Hisense 55 inch U8K mini LED. Absolutely blew me away. Found some really good picture settings from Reddit and it looks just as good as OLED. The contrast is unbelievable, the blacks are damn near OLED blacks and I paid only $699. Mini LED is the way to go!
I also bought the Hisense u8k back in December and it's such a good TV specially those speakers, did not expect them to sound that good. Mind sharing those setting ? haven't messed with my TV settings that much since I got it.

OLEDs traditionally also have a big advantage in input lag vs zone-dimmed displays (especially in HDR) since they don't need to run a dimming algorithm that adjusts the zones on every refresh.
Yeah. I'm wondering why they don't use dual oled layer, one white one rgb using the same control split so there is no input lag difference and brightness could potentially improve too
Ya they also have even more traditional big advantages , compared to minileds(Lcd) , like with ABL 250 nits on 100% window when most top minileds gets up to 1000 nits on 100% window. and ABL in most scenes oled will always look dimmer or much dimmer ,compared to top miniled in most scenes .
Depends on the content now.
Not to mention oled monitors have even more agreesive ABL compared to the normal oled TVs .bcs of the static things , icons u having on ur monitor 24/7.
Also another huge advantage for the oled its the price , all oled monitors are dirt cheap on the market ^^.
But ya they have some top + like instant response time and infinite contrast etc. even if top miniled tvs are getting very close in this area lately, but oled still its the king there for how long ?
will see with the gen. of top miniled tvs , they already very close to the oled in that area also.
My point is no tech its perfect , both have cons and pros !
So at the end of the day stop being a fanboy , be open minded !
Mini LED for gaming and daytime PC productivity (brighter, better HDR on colorful games, and no burn-in risk using it all day for productivity.)
OLED for watching movies and TV shows at night.
I think that sums it up best to be honest!
I was thinking the same to be honest, OLED still needs work to make it suitable for PC usage outside of gaming and media content.
mini LED for everything. movies suck on OLED because of terrible brightness. watching movies at high brightness on Mini LED is so immerisive
Mini LED if you want to use it for productivity.
This cannot be stressed enough. Hyped up, I bought a PG27AQDM, which is a really good monitor, and as my first OLED experience, delivered pretty hard in gaming and content consumption. But... knowing that there will be times where I will have to read and write a lot of text on this display, I have to say that questionable longevity of an OLED (pixel cleaning notifications are just super paranoia inducing) plus kinda terrible text on it was enough to have me buy a 4K Mini-LED instead, keeping in mind that I find blooming to not bother me at all and riding it with a 4080 super for gaming. Worthy to note is also that I am not a gigantic fan of HDR, as lower brightness levels are more pleasing to my eyes. And then there is the cost of OLED, which is certainly subject to change, but still... I just noticed that I don't really mind IPS so to speak. Let's see where we go from here!
What a dumb thing to say. It's personal preference and depends on the monitor.
@@cenciende9401 no it's not. Educate yourself
This is why I’m going with that. I don’t just game and watch movies/videos but I also work from home 8 hours a day. OLED is impractical for that and will surely get some burn-in within a year with the amount of daily use I get.
@@Stuke51 Yep, people forget that OLED was invented as a TV technology, it was never designed for PC usage. As a media consumption panel it excels, but for anything outside of that it struggles compared to your average LCD panel. Eventually they'll figure out how to prevent the burn in and bump up the brightness in bright rooms, but then cost is still an issue.
The problem is that by the time OLED can be used for PC productivity we'll have Mini LED monitors with thousands of dimming zones and possibly Micro LED, which might be superior to OLED for PC usage, in theory at least.
Well done. Agree with everything that was said apart from matte vs glossy. I switch between a matte monitor and glossy tv and I never think ‘I wish this was glossy’ when using my matte monitor).
I’ll say oled vs mini led is a very scene by scene issue. Playing Jedi survivor and all the desert scenes in the day shine on mini led far above my oled displays, meanwhile all the dark scenes look quite a bit better on my mini led monitor. No perfect display sadly but both techs are improving.
Once you go oled it’s very difficult to go back to any type of LED.
This is such a bot comment because it lacks any real substance.
I went OLED, then miniLED, been extremely satisfied with both.
until your monitor burns in due to productivity usage.
Basen on what i have seen from this year Sony led…. It is not hard at all!

All depends on the use case.

Heres hoping to see your Review of the new LG 27GR95UM which is the Best mini led Nano IPS monitor I've seen after the firmware update,it also has an ATW polarizer and 1560 zones to help with blooming. I would love to see a comparison of HDR against the QD oleds and WOLEDs monitors that you have. Keep up the good work👍
I’m hoping to get to it soon.
Either way i love my oled and will stick with it for the foreseeable future
Honestly, I have a MacBook Pro m3 and the mini led screen it has is the best looking laptop screen I have ever seen. A lot of it comes down to implementation
I went mini-led because it was about 60% less and is close enough to oled that I can’t justify the price difference. Also I use it for working and gaming and oled is not acceptable for productivity.
To me, contrast includes: Max vs. min brightness at 1-25% white (mini-LED), ambient contrast (glossy WOLED & VA mini-LED) and microcontrast (OLED). They should all be considered on the same level.
3 years isn't a long enough warranty period for burn-in. I'm not even replacing my CPU or GPU that quickly, let alone my monitor.
Yup, a high-end monitor should last you at the bare minimum 5years.
Super high brightness adds a lot to the experience. Giving mini LED a definite win there. But the G4 solved brightness as far as I'm concerned. I'd like a tiny bit more brightness in Film Maker mode, but it's still good enough for now.
Who the hell even uses Film maker mode, there is no reason for it to even exist it's not even what the film is supposed to look like.
@@drunkhusband6257 I use Film Maker mode. Clearly.

The Bravia 9 is the best of both worlds
For a tv thats 10 feet a way in a day light lit room maybe. For something 2-3 feet from your face i wouldnt want +1.5k nits.
Excellent points. I'm an audio/video hobbyist and know the technology pretty well but I wanted to see what others say every time this topic is brought up. For myself I have a nice LG OLED TV for all movie viewing and a decent amount of other media. For my PC monitor I have a Cooler Master mini led monitor that I really like. It has some very annoying quirks you have to toggle when using HDR but it performs great when set. I have static content on my PC for hours at a time that needs to stay there most of the time, so I can't really do OLED. Also I like the powerful brightness of true 1000+ nit HDR. Honestly I feel Mini led Local dimming is the way moving forward. Blooming can be annoying in some scenes in most gameplay it's fine. I probably don't play enough dark games and I'm not a horror fan either but definitely I'd prefer more dimming zones above any other upgrade.
If there was musou black filter for led, that would be a game changer. Cheaper by having less led zones but blooming are truly filtered like the fresnel effect on crt.
I don't do VA panels and I'm not going back! I want the fast response and fast input lag. I don't care about bright areas and losing perfect contrast.
I prefer mini LED because I worry about burn in, and because I sit next to a huge open window. and like super bright monitors (1000 nitts)
Burn in was only an issue with older OLEDs.
One does not prefer super bright monitors if one can... y'know... see.
@@x8jason8x I'm next to a bright window. so brightness is very important. I have had OLED burn in with every OLED device ive owned. further more, modern stress test on modern OLED have shown that burn in is still an issue. OLED tries to mitigate these issues by pixel refresh (which literally makes the whole display dimmer over time).
I love the look of OLED, but can't trust the technology to last over 5 years without issues (based on my use case).
its a shame dual layer LCD never took off. as that has all the pros of OLED (perfect blacks) without the negativesa of OLED (check out the Sony BVM-HX310)
@@x8jason8x burn in is still an issue on modern OLED based on all scientific testing
@@x8jason8x Text looks worse on an OLED panel too, it's not just about burn in. OLED also struggles in rooms that get a lot of light as most OLED panels just don't get bright enough. So it's not as black and white as you try to make it out to be, it's very much a case of what are you using it for, and where is the panel going to be located.
@@acurisur Cool story!

We are better at perceiving changes in dark tones vs light tones. Which is why OLED is so popular even if miniled gets 3-4 times as bright.
Not true at all..
@@DrakonR literally watch monitors unboxed updated testing video. They show clearly how we see changes in dark tones better than light tones.
@@Savitarax I don't need to live vicariously through review channels. I use the monitors myself. 👍
@@DrakonR It's fine if you're a brightness queen and only/mainly concerned with that. There's no arguing on what provides subjectively better experience to you personally.
But the thing about human eyes being wat more sensitive to brightness differences in low light conditions is a well established and scientifically proven fact.
It's not that relevant when viewing high APL content in a bright room, though.
@@juanblanco7898 sure it is. It's funny how the same people who argue everyone sees things differently will argue facts when it suits their narrative.
Move along.
Contrast on FALD LCDs fluctuate greatly, for example in darker scenes with small bright objects (such as stars), the contrast on the mini-LED will drop to near native levels. Dark objects in extremely bright scenes may also appear too bright due to backlight spill. IMHO OLED still have clear contrast advantage even compared to minileds.
You should really see a Bravia 9 in person.
@DrakonR I'm a photographer and photoshop artist and I've never seen an LCD (including sony minileds) with natural looking contrast.
When it comes to Bravia TVs, Sony has increased the number of dimming zones to 1500-2800 (depending on screen size) in their latest mini-led TVs, but that's still nothing when you look at the totall number of pixels at 4K (8.3M).
A quote from RTINGS sony bravia 9 QLED review:
"There's some noticeable blooming that bleeds into the black bars of letterboxed movies during very bright scenes. There's also more apparent blooming when watching the TV from an angle. Finally, there's considerable blooming across the entire screen if you open any settings menu, even when hitting the volume buttons on the remote."
Even 2800 dimming zones can't cover 8.3 million pixels, no matter how advanced the backlight control is. If you know where to look, the difference is very noticeable.
Also keep in mind that we are talking about PC monitors here, and minileds on PC are not nearly as advanced as 65-85'inch TVs. The best PC Minileds have about 1000 dimming zones. They cost 3x as much as QD OLEDs, but still have much lower contrast.
@@PabloB888 wow. A lot of assumptions and they're all wrong. Definitely wouldn't be taking your professional advice.
@@PabloB888 most LCD (mini LED) lovers here are just Sony fan boys or ppl who havent even tried top tier OLED displays. Makes me laugh when they are saying OLEDs are dim or afraid of burn ins... its 2024 and burns ins are something least I'm worried about.
@@DrakonR Nothing wrong about it at all. he is in fact fully right
I've owned both and ended up keeping the OLED. But It's not even close on high APL scenes. 250 nits full screen is way too low. 400+ nits fullscreen OLED is endgame for me.
Which to, 400 nits on a 32" is brighter then 400 nits on a 55/65" due to size. Which is why ABL doesn't hit as hard on monitors
I think I might go for mini-LED because it is brighter.
It is brighter, sure, but the thing about display brightness is that your eyes adjust and gets used to whatever you have. It's like how an iPhone at low brightness still seems like a flashlight, but might look like it is completely off during day time.

great video as always my good sir 👍👍
I hear that JOLED is "superior" to QD-OLED and WOLED in terms of text clarity due to the traditional RGB strip layout on the JOLED versus a triangle layout on the QD-OLED and a 4 strip layout on the WOLED. The INNOCN 32Q1R has a JOLED panel, is 32 inches, and is *only* 60Hz. I'm trying to decide between the 32Q1R and the INNOCN 32M2V, which is a 32 inch mini-LED 144Hz monitor. My reason for choosing the mini-LED INNOCN is because of I hear the refresh rate is appreciated when used as a main productivity monitor and it has excellent color reproduction and video quality. My question is, which would be the better choice between these two monitors? I will be using the monitor mainly for productivity (software dev, content creation, content consumption) with minimal 1080p/60fps gaming (Witcher 3, Baldur's Gate, Nintendo Switch output).
Keep adding the Rock Meme it's hilarious LMAO don't stop using that meme.
I really wish OLED took off in the early years with the PS Vita. OLED was just absurdly better than the LCDs at the time and for some reason it took way longer for OLED to be taken seriously. Like I still remember the people fighting over getting the 3DS that had the IPS panels instead of the TNs because they were so much better, but OLED was even better than that and we didn't have any HDR content to use the brightness of LCDs.
OLED came out kinda late to the game and now it looks less competitive. I really wish it could have come faster.
I remember going from Gameboy to ds and the jump in panel technology was mindblowing to me as a kid lmao.
it's the burn in that scare people away. Myself included. The game ui's are static.
Old oleds were even more prone to burn in and also expensive. There is good reason why oled is ”Late”
@haukionkannel from what I can find there really isn't much record of PS Vitas burning in. And OLED displays only 2-3 years ago burned in way more often than now, but the longer the tech is out, the more it gets optimized.
The issue with OLED is that you can’t work with it without babying it.
The pixel cleaning and pixel shifting are both automatic on my monitor 😊
I got a LG G3 TV for a year now. Its amazing but when the content is not opimized for HDR its not a lot better then LED. Especially when in a bright room during the day. Also I found that the extreme contrast almost looks unnatural as in nature you never have absence of light a few micrometer next to birght light.
My Macbook m1 pro with mini led with 2596 zones looks just as good as my CX oled TV if not better overall.
Better on some content worse on other.
I upgraded from a 1080p IPS to a 4k QD-Oled and honestly the biggest difference I noticed wasn't the resolution, the colors, the response time, or the blacks, but the GLOSSY coating holy shit you were so right dude. I now get why you're being so evangelical about this.
dude upgrading from a 1080p monitor into 4k oled doesnt count, your old monitor was so garbage, even 1440p ips or va panel without local dimming would blow you away :O
@@Tuskabanana no i can confirm the glossy finish is the biggest part i went from a 768p semi gloss tv to a matte 1440p to real glossy 1440p finish and its miles better. it just looks so much cleaner even at the same res colors pop more things look clearer its just awesome going from matte to glossy.
@@aubrynobicop6924 yeah i believe you, i will buy a glossy oled to, i have the lg27ul600 now with 26530 hours :=) and years before i bought the lg27up650 to compare it. Both Monitors got Matt coatings, but the new model got the worst cheap matt coating ever, text looked so unsharp, instantly send it back. I can imagine how clear a glossy coating will look when i even see the difference on a cheap matt against a more expensive coating.
@@Tuskabanana No my previous IPS was great, I had calibrated it well, there was very little inherent ghosting, resolution didn't usually bother me because of things like DSR and also its 24 inch size. BUT that constant eye gouging vaseline effect was always there, and now that I have a proper glossy monitor I can appreciate it being gone with zero drawbacks. Of course there's other benefits to oled! Metro Exodus Enhanced which is a dark game looks stunning for example. As I use it more I'm sure I'll keep being blown away. I wasn't saying 4k oled doesn't have its advantages, but for me the biggest and first shock was how much better the glossy coating looks.
You will notice a difference from 1080p to any 4k. You won't notice much difference between a 4k ips and oled. An oled will have blacker background, and more saturated colors. That's it. Most people obsessed with oled are people who switch from 1080p to 4k.
If you rich buy both but if you dont buy only Mini-LED
Well i got Mini-LED and never had a OLED because i dont wanna get burn in..
I will buy QD-OLED when is free from burn in lol
Qd oleds prices will come down , for now its expensive and risky
What we really need is IOLED. InOrganic Light Emitting Diode where the diodes don't burn-in/out. That would probably be the best all-arounder.
Led is inorganic light emitting diode
Edit: micro led is the all rounder
I tried qd oled monitor with glossy screen, it's just too dim, the color white looks off side by side with IPS, in well lit env, the black is subtle because it's glossy, matte would make it dimmer, oled monitor is just not ready, while oled tvs are great
I love my mini led, it looks fantastic, the brightness cannot be overlooked, it truly makes for spectacular HDR even if the contrast isn't as good as oled.
As soon as u said all mini leds have matte screens i instantly knew it already lost the fight 😂😂😂
I bought a PG32UQX several years ago and was wanting something new. So I bought the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9. Me personally, I liked the vividness of the PG32UQX over the OLED. Yes, in dark scenes the OLED did look better. But was the OLED so much better in dark scenes that I wanted to give up 1400 nits of vividness in everything else? No. To me the Mini LED FALD backlight was close enough to OLED for me. There was some blooming but nothing terrible to make me keep the OLED and lose the extreme vividness the PG32UQX provided. There is just something that the brightness gave to the image and color that the OLED could not achieve. Now, if OLED could achieve the same brightness as the Mini LED, without burn-in, it would be the OLED all day long.
Yes, OLED is better. Input lag, response times, contrast.
Right and those that's complain about burn in is the same ones that would test burn their oled to see what happens.
hopefully gaming oled monitors get bfi soon since they dont have a backlight they could do it like how crts do it natively scanline which would be amazing for motion clarity due to how our eyes perceive motion itt would put oled even further ahead of lcd for gaming currently the 1080p 540hz monitors still have a slight edge over oled for comp gaming but its not large and bfi would kill lcds for competitive gaming.
OLED already killed LED a long time ago.

I went for the QD-OLED S95D. Gotta say the anti glare help doing gaming and watching movies. No mirror reflection doing dark scenes, and it has to be a strong direct window reflection to affect the picture quality. But at that point glossy would be ruined too
I think once you get mini led to like 50-100k zones it’ll be in a really solid point.
Still won’t be able to hit the same response times though. Just by the inherent nature of the technology.
4k has 8,294,400 pixels which act like dimming zones since each pixel can turn on/off
100k zones will give you more contrast closer to oled but its still going to be meh

In terms of TVs, given that most people watch TV and movies with subtitles now, and subtitles are the main area where blooming is a issue, it's a shame that the TV/content industry hasn't latched on to this to produce an OLED "subtitles bar" which slings under the main display. The fact that TV promo shots and reviews are all about "look at this picture of a bouncing ball" and not "here are some readable subtitles", it just goes to show how out of touch the industry is with how its products are actually being used.
All other aspects being equal, OLED simply isn't worth the increased price and burn-in risk. Unfortunately, all other aspects are NOT equal, as we still don't have glossy miniLED

And micro led is slated to have over 95% rec 2020. Which is completely insane and basically neon color. But I see the point. Both are very similar, but microled is just going to be better since it can get brighter without degrading lifespan and has some other cool gadgets like tiling.

think there are other categories that should have been included.
depending upon the intended primary use of the monitor, the relative importance of the categories changes.
I think the above should be represented in any discussion as in this video.
So, for example, 'gamers' might pay more attention to Response Times, than say someone editing photos & videos, where colour gamet coverage & colour accuracy of a monitor might be of more importance to them than response times.......colur accuracy & gamet coverage being a category totally abscent from this review. Like wise, 'Productivity' (office use, Spreadsheets, word processors etc) may value text crispness & sharpness over Response Times.....but granted, text crispness also comes down to PPi which may vary from monitor to monitor regardless of the underlying tech.
You kind of need to consider each use case independantly though, & maybe make recommendations for each.....so many monitor reviews seem to just focus on the gamer & ignore everyone else.

LG ULTRAGEAR OLED 27GS95QE-B & ASUS ROG STRIX OLED XG27AQDMG
this will be a direct head2head
OLED monitors need to be nerfed for burn in, don’t believe me? Load up a dark grey page on your OLED and behold the grid of burn in
Are you going to review Odyssey OLED G8 2024?
Oled due to response times.
when will be 1080p oled ? since they can made it cheaper why no one do it ?
No demand, small production = high price….
Alternatively very small screen size
Yeah i think so too
saving 3/4th of a gone wrong 4k tv could be great 120hz 1080p qd oled or woled for like 200$ would be nice
I want a Mini-LED gaming monitor, that is HDR compatible but has the best possible backlight strobing options for motion clarity.
My old PG27VQ uses ULMB, and can get CRT-or-better motion clarity while remaining bright enough for SDR.
Unfortunately, that old monitor peaks at 400nits, doesn't support HDR (8bit only), has a TN panel with an ugly anti-reflect coating and, due to archaic backlight design, has piss-poor contrast. I don't care about super high refresh, it's meaningless when you don't have the fps to match.
If manufacturers get their act together, they could build today a super bright HDR LCD monitor, with lots of dimming zones for a competitive contrast, with a tweakable intensity of backlight strobing, potentially giving you HDR400 with CRT-like motion or HDR2000+ without.
OLED is great for movies, but they're too dim and black frame insertion will ruin brightness while never reaching beyong Plasma motion clarity in the best of case (last example was on the CX/GX)
OLED is still a new technology of today and future.
I'm waiting on oled for several valid reasons:
Price drop(especially on large screen models)
Brightness issues
Compression and upscaling getting better with wifi streaming(a problem on any model device)
Size with better value
Burn in becoming a non issue
Honestly mini led or when it becomes micro led might end up beating OLED like it did plasma because of it's value and capabilities mixed with getting better and better with competing with OLED contrast and motion. 🤷 Just saying I'm going to wait because I don't have f*ck you money to want to spend 5-6000 dollars on a big screen. My 85" X90L is mostly awesome for 2k 😎
MINI LED hdr on penalty latency plus 9 msec to 15msec... OLED 0 latency issue on HDR.
I'd take GLOSSY plain shitty-old 1000:1 IPS over any grainy-dull-paper-matte OLED or even microLED altogether.
Mini led is far less reliable, look at the RTINGS 100 tv usage test.
Mini LED better for text
Mastering Monitors or bust
There is so many monitors. What would you recommend if you are interested in playing fps such as valorant, mmos and story singleplayer games? I feel like i'm a mix of everything, and because of thast I dont know what monitor to go for. I have a ROG STRIX 4090 and a 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K
Oled
dont forget oled pixel´s die after around 5 years
Not everyone and there grandma want oled
After suffering screen burn with plasmas no thanks to oled
Oled is good until it keep telling you to perform pixel cleaning every now and then as if the monitor is the owner
I simply wouldn't feel comfortable just watching youtube on an oled monitor
so I might aswell get a tv rather than an oled monitor they're about the same price anyways ......
( and they keep their resell value alot better haha ( atleast i aint buying a used oled lol ) )
youtube? why you worry about youtube?
@@De-M-oN no i mean just using it as a display
just using it yknow
not having an imaginary timer running evaluating if every second of it is worth it
A 55 LG C4 or a 65 Hisense U7K?
Depends what you're using it for. If you're just watching movies/tv, then go OLED. Anything outside of that, Mini LED would be more suitable. It's not just the burn in issue of OLED that makes people look at Mini LED, because even if you get zero burn in, text looks awful on an OLED panel compared to a Mini LED panel.
I'm bussin' for it
Oled is good at black thats it
How smooth is your brain?
@cenciende9401 just personal experience dude. Played on 4k 240hz oled and 4k 240hz miniled. Easy pick miniled. Once microled monitors become a thing oled will be dead forever besides for the meat riders that can't think for themselves
Its contrast. No blooming which gives you a pure picture compared to any mini led with blooming. The blooming ties into the colors giving it a milky washed out image. Which as well QD-OLEDS sorta have the same issue in a round about way
@@I.AMWallzy MicroLed being something with price thats not 4-6k for a 65" ya ts going to be a long long time.
@DETERMINOLOGY na. First 8k TV to come out was like 14k...I bought it for 6500 1yr later. Not gonna take long
