Not really , not every LED TV has light bleeds , mostly only the edge-lit TV models and IPS TVs due to the imperfect shapes of subpixels .
At the very least , learn to differentiate the Pros and Cons of IPS &VA TV first before you start giving advice .
What's wrong with being technical in a techie forum ? If you just want to trash talk your way to the end , there is the /k section.
Another assumption from you .
The GX800 is already at baseline 300 nits . If we go with your logics , the GX740 has to be even dimmer than every other modern TV , including those beginners 4K models from other brands .
You need to stop reading into whatever terms the TV brands are throwing at you . At this point you are only spreading wrong information .
True , but there is a huge difference between local dimming or simply calling it a dimming system .
First of all , there is no story . I have spent roughly 2 hours with the TV beside NU8000 , which an edge-lit local dimming TV .
It doesn't dim nor boost , it does nothing , absolutely no changes on the black levels and brightness .
Localized Dimming system is specific hardware that is implemented on the LED array , something alike a curtain .
If there are any existence of local dimming , there would be at least improvement on the numbers of black levels or brightness .
The last model I have inspected indicate this TV peaks at 300 ~ 400 nits , which is a common standard for modern UHD TV.
This is one of the most pretentious and wrong thing I have heard in this forum for a while .
Local Dimming is the system that is responsible for brightness output of the screen . They are closed related . How is that a different story ?
And of course we are going to talk about HDR , why do you even need a local dimming system for non HDR stuff ? Did you even hear yourself ?
You clearly have not even seen a FALD TV , nor you have any idea what is a local dimming system if you think its only function is to dim down the backlights .
You are only reading it by the name , which is limited by your understanding of TV's backlight system.
Again , for the 10th millions time , there is a HUGE difference between the hardware based (which is also called Local Dimming ) and software based dimming system .
The only one twisting the facts here is you because you are too ignorant and stubborn to learn .
Also , I am not responsible to give you a lecture since you are too lazy to even google .
People have already reviewed this TV and all the numbers are out there , the result is clear . It isn't even up for debate .
Even if we are to assume this TV has local dimming , it does nothing to improve on the picture quality . If that is the case , what's the point ? Why are you being obsessed with benefits that don't even exist ?
Also the model Vincent reviewed is different than yours . If you watch his videos then you should remember the keyword " pseudo local dimming " . That is like a more polite way to say the dimming system is completely sh*t.
Last but not least , I assume you are capable of understand what does the word " BARELY " means , right ?
To summarize , I do think there is some sort of dimming system within the GX800 models but they are definitely not the hardware based LED Array zones we are used to be seeing on the market.
It is more identical to the same thing many brands are calling Global Dimming / Micro dimming / Frame Dimming , a software based dimming algorithm on their entry level TV .
