The main drawbacks are a lower peak brightness than panels with backlights, making them poorly suited to rooms with a lot of natural light during the day. This leads to incredible immersion in darker scenes (because the pixels turn off, so they are completely black) and unbeatable contrast. So there's a reason the LG C2 regularly tops lists of the best TVs around the web. What's the difference? OLED stands for 'Organic Light-Emitting Diode,' meaning that each of the TV's pixels - over 8 million in a 4K panel - are individually lit. LG, meanwhile, is renowned for its OLED panels (and makes them for other manufacturers.)
While Samsung has recently released its first OLED panel, it's chiefly known for championing QLED. (Image credit: LG) Samsung vs LG TVs: Display technologyĪt the top end of the market, you've likely heard of two panel types fighting for dominance: OLED and QLED.
