I am not being defensive , not like Samsung pay me for each of those QLEDs they sold . But I really think those of us who owned premium TV need to pick our words more carefully .
The newer QLEDs have undergone quite a drastic improvement compare to the KS series back from 2016 .
The original KS series felt like it was only been made to score high in the brightness war . Turn on the TV and saw glimpse of a flash and the picture quickly fall flat after that.
It's actual brightness ratings are more or less on the same level as the C6 .
Newer QLEDs can hold and maintain the same level of brightness for a long time , which is quite a big improvement when it comes to HDR .
In 2019 they are to utilize F.A.L.D from Q7 onward , MSRP is $7999 but expect the TV to drop below 6k by the end of the year .
Below 6k for a F.A.L.D Quantum Dots Display ? that's a great deal .
It is starting to sound like I am a QLED Cultist but if you look at my previous posts you know I am one of the biggest supporters of OLEDs .
However there are still sizeable market for the LCD and certainly , circumstances where we can use a QLED and an OLED.
P/S: and yes Samsung is a greedy b*tch , no argument on that .
Having owned OLED for 5 years now, since the first gen release and recently purchased a Q7FN QLED, I must say all that was already said about the 2 technologies are true. OLED is great with contrast & black level. QLED has awesome brightness (HDR) and color. With HDR going mainstream and to me game changing, I am biased to QLED. Watching HDR on OLED has no oomph
And I wouldnt worry about OLED burn in...my OLED still looks like it is when purchased with no sign of burnin.
And also agree Samsung pricing is shit. Never buy at full price. I have been eyeing Q7FN for almost a year before purchasing at clearance price.
