Question Anyone Have Experience Playing Games On A High Peak Brightness MiniLED/LED 55" TV vs a OLED/QDOLED 55" TV? Your Insight Would Be Appreciated

[Cassius101]

If anyone has experience with this, for dark room gaming, I would like to know what you like more. The main thing I wanna know is if anyone notices a significant difference in brightness with gaming on a High Peak brightness 55" LED/MiniLED TV vs a high end 55" OLED/QDOLED TV that has high peak brightness for a OLED like a Samsung S90D, LG G4, Sony A95L & others.



I was thinking about selling my old 55" QN90B and my current 55" Hisense U8K then buying a 55" Samsung S90D QDOLED. If I did this I would likely use the Samsung QDOLED for 1 year since new RGB OLED is coming next year from TCL and NANOLED and QDEL tech tv's might be released next year, in Jan 2026 I would likely buy one of these new tech tv's, a 55" or 65" model that is 8k native resolution.

Should I just keep the Hisense I have and wait until Jan 2026 for the better tv's or sell both my tv's and buy the Samsung QDOLED? Considering what I do on it which is mostly computer use on my gaming computer with Windows HDR off and Windows HDR on when I am PC gaming. 1 year is still a long time.

Obviously brightness is higher on the Hisense. Would I will notice the difference big time? If I compared both. I play PC games/Halo 5 on console in a dark room. I guess the only way to know for sure would be having my tv side by side with a S90D on dual monitor duplicate mode with HDR on in one of the PC games I play which is mainly Planetside 2, Battlefield 2042, Star Trek Online, sometimes Halo Infinite and Battlefront 2.

I also play PC games on a 34" ultra wide Alienware AW3423DW sometimes that only has a peak brightness of 1000 nits that it reaches sometimes, I like it but I suppose I would notice the brightness of a screen much more on a larger one than one that small, would this be true?

The difference now, at this level of screen quality is saturation and algorithms. The brighter the display the better - that is true, but you already have two tremendous displays, and only improvement you would see from going with Samsung's QD-OLED is brightness of colour, not brightness of the display itself.

I have an iPad Pro with M4 chip and it has dual OLED, and this is what we should expect coming to TVs, not QDEL, not PHOLED(yet).

MicroLED and Tandem OLED are going to be the next halo products.

I agree wholeheartedly with the scores in Ratings review/comparison. QD-OLED is the best tech right now, but Hisense is still brighter, however, because of OLED technology the colours always will be brighter and beteer looking on OLED than on MiniLED, unless - we are talking about Sony TVs.

Sony X90L is better than TCL/Hisense TVs in terms of colour reproduction and saturation, thanks to more advanced algorithms. And it is typical LED TV.

brightness of colour, not brightness of the display itself.

What? Displays are made of 3 colors plus black¹, gray² or in some cases slightly purple³ when the colored pixels are off. Brighter colors will make for a brighter display.

¹Modern OLED or micro LED best display ever!

²LCD

³Older LG OLED
