OLED and LCD both have drawbacks. Even when price is no object; it is a mistake to claim one is clearly superior to the other.

Oh look, I just did what you did with a Google search. Your little "real world" experiment failed my test (I can also tell the brightness is turned way down on that OLED). Brighter does not always equal better. You posted an EXCELLENT example of why. The terrain on the LED is almost completely washed out. It's actually defined on the OLED. Black levels are more important, anyway, and unless you've got the highest end LED TV with the full-array local dimming feature, you aren't even going to get close. And at the cost level for one of those LED's with HDR and Quantum dot, you're right at an OLED. Regardless, neither of the aforementioned TV's are in the price range the OP specified, hence why I insisted he save his money and buy and OLED. You won't get the quality of LED near that of an OLED for $1K. |

I replaced my 70" 1080p Vizio after it started getting stuck pixels outside warranty. I sold it to someone who was more than happy with the picture but I could see the dots and it bugged me every movie I watched. Since it was an unplanned purchase, I got a 70" 4K KU6300. It's the low end of Samsung's uhd line but I am very happy with the picture quality after calibration. I purchased a HW-K950 Atmos soundbar with it which was a nice upgrade to my old 5.1 soundbar. I use an Nvidia Shield TV and PS4 Pro with it.

Tell you what, I'll grab my Samsung LED and throw it beside my Samsung Plasma (since they can be "set the same") and take a picture. |

That being said- The vast majority of buyers of even these high-end sets do not ever get them professionally calibrated. For this reason it is arguably a better comparison to compare the out-of-box performance using an untouched video preset. In effect this is a comparison of how these TVs would be delivered to a new owner. It is odd to NOT think this is a good comparison! My favorite part of your post is how you "can tell the brightness is turned down on the OLED." Classic expert Internet analysis!

All you really have to do is not use the smart tv functionality. You can go further and not even connect the display to your network. I know a lot of high-end integrators do the above when all they want is a dumb display. You could use a commercial display but that is kind of like choosing a Crown Macro Tech amplifier to use with a set of B&W 801s. You'd be lacking polish and finesse.

What's your point? The picture quality is still better on the OLED. Brightness isn't everything and the LED looks washed out. The same settings on different types of panels will not yield a good comparison. Pretty sure I already said that. Don't quit your day job...

That said, OLED is still a better TV with a better picture. I'm gonna use LG again because infinitekid2002 already accused them of not being fair. Here it is side by side, make for make, best of each: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmAe3a49EUY |

The XBR is no slouch. The better picture for most uses is the OLED. No question. The only drawback is the huge uptick in price and the high repair costs if something does go wrong.

I wish I could say Pioneer Elite Plasma 50" TV made in Japan. Bought mine back in 2005 and still looks better that those cheap one these days. I also have Samsung 46" LED UN46 series full 1080P bought this in 2012. Samsung and LG ONLY is the way to go...
