  Try and find the extra money to get the LG OLED from the good guys for $2400 if you can.

    QLED is just a marketing term for almost the same LED LCD screens.
    OLED is a game changer.

    Lg is so much better for the small price difference, there is no comparison.

    This Samsung screen is already superseded as soon as its sold by the lg.

  Can't believe Samsung has the gall to charge OLED level prices for its LCD tvs. Don't be fooled by their 'QLED' marketing - it's still an LED LCD panel with all of its inherent flaws. OLED is the real deal.

  Samsung is losing the battle when it comes to tvs
  Oled superior blacks and now sony/lg also do them
  Qled superior brightness but over priced led-lcd.

  True QLED is actually closer to OLED than LED, but Samsung's QLED TV's are kind of halfway between LCD and true QLED. There's an interesting and easy-to-understand overview here:
  http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinion/what-is-qled-the-futur…

  OLED is amazing in terms of pure visual quality and there is zero blur / transition time but it has its own drawbacks.

  Its brightness is limited because it can only support a maximum "full screen brightness", i.e. individual pixels can be intensely bright but it's not capable of lighting the entire screen to that brightness. If you see them in the shops then you'll see that when it changes from a dark scene with a few bright points to a bright scene like of an overcast day, the overall brightness drops.

  OLED also has a downside of possible burn-in. A lot of people say that it doesn't really happen and the image is always moving so it isn't an issue, but I've seen new models in shops where you can see a logo burnt into the screen (e.g. a big "OLED" from the demo reel they run continuously). If you watch commercial TV with a "Nine" logo or something in the corner, it's quite possible it'll burn in eventually. It might not be quick or obvious but over time it probably won't look as pristine and uniform as it does when you first buy it.

  So one is not better than the other necessarily, you just have to weigh up the pros and cons. If I were buying, right now I'd actually be tempted by the QLED because to my eyes it's more than "good enough", and with zoned backlighting and stuff it gets pretty damn close to OLED, but can still beat it in brightness (e.g. HDR movies).
