Mini LED - Dual Cell - Micro LED - OLED. Which Will Be Your Next TV?

Greetings People, Greetings and Salutations

It's bleak and rainy Saturday morning here in Melbourne. Retail is still closed and we are still in lock down. There is nothing I can do but stare at yet another screen, so I thought I would start a discussion about TVs!

Next year will probably be the most exciting year for TVs we've had in a while (as long as companies don't pull a Samsung and downgrade their entire line up)

We are expecting HDMI 2.1 to become the norm, Right now the only choices are the Sony X9000H and a few OLEDs.

Hisense should be perfecting their Dual Cell Tech, using 2 panels instead of one to create OLED like experience on an LCD LED TV with possibly higher brightness and no risk of burn in.

TCL should be doubling down on the X10 mini LED tech, super bright at nearly 2000 cd/m² and more than 700 dimming zones. Right now motion handling is not the best and brightness mapping is a bit on the brighter side. Hopefully we'll be getting the new revised version (already announced for the US)

Micro LED is still no where to be seen?!

OLEDs are still OLEDs. Maybe slightly brighter, slightly less risk of burn in.

What do you guys think? Which tech is the future? What will be your next TV?

    Haven't thought about it. My Panasonic Plasma is still going strong.

    Dual cell will be interesting but i think LG C11 will still be my pick. Hopefully it has 2x 2.1 input ports

      The CX has 4(nearly full) HDMI 2.1 ports, I don't see why the C11 would go backwards(but it does happen).

        Pretty sure that C11 is planned to go to 48 Gbps instead of 40 on the CX.

          Apparently the only difference that makes at this time that I'm aware of is it limits the colour to 10 bit at max settings rather than 12 bit. I'm not sure what that really means & if it makes any significant difference to the viewing experience.

    Whatever the tech for the display, please vote with your wallets and avoid smart TVs. They're all poorly secured and filled with spyware. With some new models, Samsung has even started showing their own ads.

      Aren’t all TVs smart these days? Or at least all the TVs with desirable picture quality.

    • EightImmortals on 25/10/2020 - 10:04

      What if you don't connect them to the network?

      • soan papdi on 25/10/2020 - 10:22

        Depends on the model I suppose. I've just heard a lot of stories about some brands refusing to work when not online. Maybe they're all just conspiracy theories?

        • EightImmortals on 25/10/2020 - 10:25

          I guess you;d need to clarify that at the shop before you bought it. Also, is it possible for a device to connect to your wifi network without you knowing about it?

    What about QD-OLED?
