Well , Come to my post “TOP 5 – Best OLED TV Reviews” In this article, we look for the best OLED TVs of 2021. For years it seemed as if there would be a long-drawn-out battle between different screen technologies: LCD, LED, OLED, and plasma were engaged in a clear death battle with each other.

In 2021, however, there is almost no more plasma and OLED televisions have taken a lead on the rest, with the exception of Samsung’s QLED screens.

The best OLED TV for most households is the LG OLED65GX6LA. Excellent quality and equipped with future technology so that your purchase will last for years.

If you prefer to spend less, you can also limit your purchase to the smaller, but very high-performance LG OLED55C9PLA.

Compare OLED TVs

What is an OLED TV?

‘OLED’ stands for ‘organic light emitting diodes’. Freely translated this is: ‘organic light-emitting diodes’. The technology works by placing a number of thin organic films between two conductors.

One conductor is a cathode – which injects electrons – and the other is an anode – which takes electrons away. This generates an electrical voltage with which each pixel can be illuminated individually.

Modern OLED screens rely on extra layers to further improve quality and to protect the OLED panels against moisture and other influences, but the patterns of the organic layers themselves can be formed in different ways.

The most commonly used is vacuum atomization and a ‘shadow mask’. That is a simple, but not very efficient way of working, which means that quite a lot is wasted.

Some OLED materials are soluble and can even be applied with the same ‘inkjet’ technology as you find in most printers. Manufacturers now hope to make that method sufficiently scalable, which could make the production process a lot cheaper.

Why buy an OLED TV?

THIN AND ROBUST THIN BUT STRONG OLED TV

Because each pixel in an OLED screen provides its own lighting, it does not need to be illuminated by a separate light source. As a result, OLED TVs can be much thinner, which not only saves space, but also makes the TVs

lighter. In addition, they are usually easier to mount on the wall.

OLED panels are sturdier than their relatives and can also withstand more extreme temperatures. However, ‘burning in’ is possible. This happens when you look at the exact same image for too long, leaving a permanent stain on the panel.

Newer OLED technologies try to solve this problem, for example by shifting the image almost imperceptibly (for example by just one pixel). In combination with a good Blu-ray player, you get incredible images.

POTENTIAL FLEXIBILITY

Although there are not many models on the market that take advantage of the flexibility that is so inherent in OLED technology, the screens can be very bendable and even transparent.

We are already familiar with curved panels, but in the meantime televisions have even been developed that roll up into their own cabinet, such as the long-awaited OLED TV R9 from LG.

You can also expect extendable screens in the near future!

ECOLOGICAL & ENERGY EFFICIENT

ENERGY-SAVING OLED TV

Because each pixel provides its own lighting, while the pixels in other LED panels have to be irradiated by a separate light source and also use shutters that regulate the color, OLED screens are much more energy-efficient. Great if you want to spend a little less on electricity, so.

ECOLOGICAL

Since OLEDs are made of carbon and hydrogen, we can speak of a ‘biological’ or ‘organic’ technology. There are no harmful metals in the screen itself, which, together with the energy efficiency mentioned above, of course makes for a ‘greener’ choice.

DEEPER BLACK LEVELS

OLED HAS INDIVIDUAL PIXELS

Since every single pixel in an OLED screen can turn on and off, perfect black levels can be created. This is not the case with ordinary LED TVs, where the pixels must be illuminated from behind or possibly on the sides by small LED lights or, in the best case, are selectively dimmed, so that the light in those devices can spread to areas that are normally purely should be black.

That ‘light bleeding’ does not occur in OLED TVs, which, among other things, ensures better contrast and richer colors.

COLORS & BRIGHTNESS

OLED TV WITH BRIGHT COLORS

The brightness, accuracy and range of colors is better with OLED TVs than with their older LED brothers. Note that newer LED TVs now often use ‘quantum dots’ which have brought them on an equal footing.

OLED displays continue to look better in dark rooms, while regular LED TVs that have ‘high dynamic range’ technology such as HDR, HDR + or Dolby Vision can show very saturated images at a high brightness.

That’s because OLED pixels that shine for a long time at their maximum brightness have a shorter life and need a little more time to go black again.

It is important to mention that OLED TVs also achieve a more than adequate brightness, so that you only have to worry about this when your device is in a very brightly lit room.

However, if you – like us – like to watch TV while the rest of the room is dark, the choice is easy in this area.

FAST RESPONSE

RESPONSE TIME OF OLED TVS

Since each diode of an OLED screen contains both its own light source and its own brightness, while the light from the LEDs in traditional LED screens has to shine through LCD doors, OLED screens also enjoy a better response time.

With a potential of 0.001 ms, they are even about 1,000 times faster than standard LED screens. That is very important for gamers, who need to be able to react quickly.

WIDE VIEWING ANGLE

CHOOSE WIDE VIEWING ANGLE

At 84 degrees, OLED devices have by far the widest viewing angle of all TVs. So you can look from the sides without seeing a difference in contrast or brightness.

In comparison: standard LED screens only reach 54 degrees. Only qled displays come close. If not everyone in your room will sit right in front of the device, you should therefore resolutely choose OLED.

BLUE LIGHT

Light keeps us alert and awake during the day, but at night it can interfere with our sleep. The biggest culprit seems to be blue light.

According to a study conducted at Harvard University, that wavelength suppresses melatonin levels for twice as long as the green light, shifting sleep patterns by 3 hours. Green light shifts that by ‘only’ an hour and a half.

The waves that provide blue tones apparently penetrate further and allow LED lights to generate quite a lot of this type of light.

However, according to Germany’s TUV Rheinland, OLED panels only create 34% blue light – far less than the 64% produced by regular LED TVs.

We cannot yet confirm whether blue light is also bad for the eyes, pending conclusive research, but the possibility certainly exists.

Buying an OLED TV, what to watch out for?

1. WHERE TO WATCH TV

As we mentioned above, many people like to watch movies or series in a dark room. Images often seem to come out even better this way. If there is usually a lot of light on your screen, there is a chance that a regular LED TV will still offer a better viewing experience than its OLED cousin.

A good way to see if you’re dealing with good technology is to watch an older movie in cinema format, which has a black strip at the top and bottom. With OLED screens, the black should hardly flicker or not at all.

In terms of placement, OLED screens generally take up less space than devices that are based on another technology and have the same screen diagonal. So taking placement and decor into account is even easier than with most LED TVs.

2. DISTANCE

Because OLED images look so good, you can sit closer than you would with less good screens. Of course, the resolution is even more important:

the higher it is, the less distance you have to keep for an optimal viewing experience and the further you can sit without loss of quality.

3. CURVED SCREEN

OLED screens can have curves. This ensures fewer reflections on the screen. The theory is also that they provide an even better viewing experience because the shape is analogous to that of our eyes – as long as you are right in front of the device.

A downside is that curves reduce the viewing angle. So where you set up these types of televisions becomes even more important and is also the reason why you see this kind of shape more often with computer monitors than with TVs.

4. INPUT LAG AND GAME MODE

Just about every right-minded gamer knows that there is a short delay between pressing a button on the controller and what he or she sees on the screen.

Especially beat’em-up games (where you have to alternate quick hits and dodge attacks from the enemy), shooters (where you often have to pull the trigger quickly enough) and music games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band (where you find and maintain proper rhythms) may suffer from ‘lag’ or ‘delay’.

Almost all modern TVs today have a ‘game mode’. This ensures that the processor no longer processes the image unnecessarily, that everything is displayed more clearly and that the graphics look as good as possible without causing extra delay.

If you plan to take full advantage of what your console can conjure up on the OLED screen, it is best to check how well the device performs in game mode.

Knowing if it also supports VRR (‘variable refresh rate’), where the refresh rate is constantly adjusted to what the game needs at any given time, is definitely recommended.

5. MOTION PICTURES

OLED offers excellent image quality, but of course all that contrast and wide color gamut are of little value when images fade or become less clear.

When they are scaled up to a higher resolution in a lower resolution (such as sd to hd, hd to ultra-hd, or 4K and 4K to 8K), the processor has to get to work.

Sometimes details are erased that contribute to the atmosphere of the film – such as deliberate ‘grains’ or noise, which gives you a much too smooth image.

It also sometimes happens that images are refreshed too slowly, which causes ‘ghosts’ or smearing on the screen.

So watch a movie or TV series where the action moves very quickly and one that has been given a rather rough cinematography.

A tip for movie buffs: turn off as many image enhancement technologies as possible. The image then looks as the filmmaker intended.

If everything runs smoothly and while retaining details, you’re in the right place. Not sure if something is being broadcast in SD, HD or 4K?

For example, slide a DVD into the loader to be sure that you are dealing with sd or choose ‘sd’ instead of ‘hd’ in the display options of your television provider.

6. MODE

We already know that OLED can produce great images, but before purchasing, check out how the same types of images look in different modes. Anyone who thinks that he or she has to go to the store for that, risks being disappointed.

After all, most TV sets have a built-in ‘shop mode’, which ensures that the images look great in a retail environment. At home, however, you can get very different results.

Also, not every mode fits every broadcast: what can appear very lively for football matches, may result in too bright colors when watching a horror film. Therefore, try to find out how the device you want functions in different modes.

Best OLED TVs vetted

The best OLED: LG OLED65GX6LA

SEE MORE PICTURE 

It’s no surprise that LG is responsible for one of the most advanced televisions in the world. After all, LG is the only company that makes its own OLED screens – other brands are therefore dependent on LG panels.

This GX is based on the same screen and processor as the cheaper CX, but the manufacturer tries to justify the extra price by giving everything a tighter jacket and by providing the whole with a different set of speakers.

They now point downwards to provide a thinner chassis of barely 2 centimeters thick. The GX is therefore clearly intended to be mounted on the wall; on the pedestal that you can purchase separately, the device looks a lot less beautiful. The connections are more difficult to reach after hanging,

Apart from those few minuses, you do get a perfect TV that is equipped with all the latest gadgets. The processor does an excellent job of optimizing sound and image, while all other specifications are also future-oriented.

So strong, in fact, that two technologies need further exploration before you can use them on this TV: other devices can connect with Bluetooth Surround and sync with NVIDIA’s rock-solid graphics cards via all-new G-Sync.

The plans with NVIDIA may already make it clear that the GX is also aimed at gamers. He also has VRR (or ‘Variable Refresh Rate’) on board. After all, within one and the same game, there is often a switch from one optimal refresh rate to another and VRR automatically optimizes the refresh rate of a TV.

You can also count ALLM or ‘Auto Low Latency Mode’. It detects the addition of peripherals such as game consoles and switches the TV

Whether you want to add peripherals via USB, HDMI 2.1 or Ethernet, or want to connect the GX with WiFi and Bluetooth: this GX does everything almost perfectly.

The voice assistant and the intuitive remote control with which you can also simply point at the TV to operate a cursor on the screen are very useful tools for those who can and want to pay for this television.

Price / quality purchase: LG OLED55C9PLA

Those who want a top model without having to spend 3,000 euros will quickly end up with the C9 from LG. This device offers more than enough connections (including HDMI 2.1) and especially impresses with its excellent ‘upscaling’, which raises the resolution of images that are broadcast in less good quality.

However, scaling up is a lot less successful if you start from the smallest broadcast resolution (sd). For example, you can sometimes still see jagged edges.

With its scroll wheel and the ability to control many apps by pointing at the screen to operate a cursor, the Magic Remote remains one of our favorite TV controllers, but there are also some less positive things to note.

For example, you cannot exchange the short power cord of the TV for a longer one and we sometimes saw some ‘ghosting’ (where you see the image twice).

Beyond that, the screen really offers a top-notch feel, including a wide color palette and deep black levels, although the same can’t be said for the sound.

The built-in speakers certainly provide an adequate sonic landscape, but if you want to enjoy a real cinema experience, it is still good to buy a separate surround system.

The fact that most cables can be conveniently hidden in the base is certainly an advantage. All in all, a must for those who want a premium device, but are still not willing to pay the high sum that is needed to get a GX.

Philips, 4K 50″ Android TV, 50PFL5806/F7

SEE MORE PICTURE 

2022 had barely begun and Philips had already made an overwhelming impression with its
50PFL5806/F7– a device that is almost identical under the hood to the much cheaper 50PFL5806/F7 but features the best integrated sound system we have ever experienced on a television.

After all, a three-way speaker from the leading Bowers & Wilkins is mounted on the pedestal, at the bottom of the TV itself.

Although you cannot put the whole thing on a cabinet and so it is difficult to keep the cables for any peripherals out of sight, this luxury horse produces an impressive sound.

Placing the tweeter (the loudspeaker that reproduces high tones) at the top of the speaker – something that has been done since the 1970s, but has never been implemented for a television – the sound is less subject to interference.

The entire setup also makes optimal use of Dolby Atmos, creating a beautiful, three-dimensional soundscape that is equal only in the better (and more expensive) surround systems.

That is not all, however: together with Panasonic, Philips is the only brand that offers both HDR10 and HDR10 + and HLG as Dolby Vision in one device.

As a result, it hardly matters how the images are originally broadcast: the processor knows how to handle it and always ensures the best possible contrasts and colors.

The fact that the same processing unit effortlessly succeeds in converting SD images to much sharper ultra-HD images is exceptional: most premium TV sets can scale up and achieve excellent results when it has to be done from HD to 4K, but sd usually remains an eyesore.

None of that with this OLED984: it also manages to nicely streamline the serrated edges of SD images.

Proprietary technologies such as Perfect Natural Reality and Perfect Contrast sharpen the depth and contrast even further, but some purists will prefer a more natural image instead of going for the best representation.

If we are talking about beauty, we should definitely mention Ambilight. This is a technology that Philips itself has developed in which the edges of the screen emit light in different colors.

In this case, there is Ambilight along all four edges, which can provide a lot of extra atmosphere, especially in a dark room.

Are there – apart from the pedestal – no downsides at all? Sure enough: the Android interface has progressed rapidly, but you can still see that it was originally intended for mobile devices.

Finally, gamers will be able to find TVs that can process fast images even better and have an even lower response time. That’s nit picking, though; In any case, we have fallen in love with this beautiful device.

Hisense 55-Inch Class R6 Series Dolby Vision HDR 4K UHD Roku Smart TV with Alexa Compatibility (55R6G,)

The good buy: Panasonic TX-55GZ950

Although this Panasonic55R6G does not leave the most overwhelming impression visually, it is very difficult to find an Smart TV. that offers the same possibilities at an equally competitive price.

Like Philips, Panasonic is able to offer both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ in one device, which is a great advantage if you want to be sure that broadcast images can always be optimized.

Moreover, the better devices from Panasonic know how to display the colors very accurately, and that is no different with this 55R6G.

It is true that those very natural colors are slightly less vibrant than you find on the Smart TV. screens of the competition, although there are a lot of settings you can play with to get an image that is as close as possible to your own preferences.

Although only one of the four HDMI connections supports HDMI 2.1, thanks to ALLM, this device can immediately jump to game mode if you connect a compatible console (such as an X-Box).

This is very useful, because it immediately switches to a better latency time, which means that the game responds faster to your commands.

The top devices do even better, but there is really only to complain about the fact that the 55R6G does not support VRR (‘Variable Refresh Rate’), so that the refresh rate does not adapt to what a game needs at that moment.

Scaling up to 4K content also goes very well, but sometimes shows some vague edges.

The same problem arises when you’re watching content in HDR: sometimes a frame is ‘forgotten’, so that you see the image stutter very briefly, but this certainly does not occur often and the average viewer will probably rarely notice it.

The integrated speakers are also among the best you can get at this price (although we would certainly add a subwoofer via the headphone jack provided for that purpose to get even deeper bass tones), so you want a very good buy with this 55R6G do if you don’t want to spend 2,000 euros on an  Smart TV.

Sony HD LED Smart Google TV with Dolby Vision HDR & Alexa Compatibility KD65X80J

SEE MORE PICTURE 

 

Let’s get straight to the point: this Sony X80J 65 is the daddy of the better X90J, but it is also cheaper. Those on a slightly lower budget will still get a fantastic TV with great, bright colors that unfortunately do not support HDR10+.

Panasonic and Philips thus remain the only brands to offer both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision algorithms in one package. The device does look nice and the Android TV is well integrated, including a very smooth Chromecast to project images from other devices onto the TV and Google Assistant.

Unique is the Acoustic Surface technology. It produces sound from the screen itself by vibrating the pixels. As a result, extra speakers are no longer needed, but unlike the X90J 65, you can’t use the screen as a center speaker if you connect an external surround system, which is a shame.

In HDR we also saw a frame drop here and there (where a frame was not processed), but not so often that we would see it as a big minus. It is true that when scaling up to a better resolution, we regularly noticed that details were lost.

The biggest downside to the X80J 65 is that this unit underperforms when playing games than any of the other TVs we’ve included in our top 5. The input lag (or ‘input lag’) is simply greater and avid gamers who want to get the best out of their screen will undoubtedly prefer another television from this list.
