Now that all five major TV makers have shown off their 2024 flagship TVs, it's time to talk about which TVs we believe are in the running for best TV of 2024. Will OLED win the day or will it finally be toppled by a Mini LED TV? Ultimately, no TV is perfect for all content in every environment. But the key is to pick the best TV for your specific needs. We chat with Caleb Denison, Editor at Large for Digital Trends to compare notes on which new TVs from Sony, Hisense, TCL, LG and Samsung are most likely to earn the top marks overall and which factors, including black level performance, brightness, contrast, color reproduction, bright room performance and - of course - SIZE - go into the decision of which TV to buy in 2024.

05:50 OLED vs. Mini LED
10:45 Samsung OLED vs. QD-OLED Confusion
21:01 Samsung OLED with LG Display Panels
24:30 Can you spot differences between OLED, QD-OLED, Mini LED, QD Mini LED?
26:49 The most important thing today (streaming quality)
29:06 How big is big enough?
29:53 Is OLED no longer best choice for most people?
35:30 Size vs. Quality
41:20 Longevity concerns

Fantastic broadcast guys. Excellent! This topic of size vs maybe better image is where I am at. I remember Caleb saying he had a hard time NOT watching the 98 TCL vs the higher end X95l.

@ChrisBoylan 2 ай бұрын

I agree. TVs that size suck you in. I was watching a demo loop at the TCL event in NYC for like 20 minutes (it was only a 5 minute loop). The 115-inch model had football on it. Not normally a football fan, but when the players are literally larger than life, it's pretty compelling.

Why is it so hard to find actual reviews/settings of the 83" s90c? It is effectively a different model than the other sizes but all you find online are comments about how it's not as good. What about an actual review? There are no opportunities to see it in action near me and returning a tv that big is a nightmare! Great podcast btw thx!

The biggest choice needs to be the size of the screen first. There is huge difference in price between 55, 65, 75 and 77” tvs. So pick your screen size and then buy the best you can afford from there. The best picture quality available is generally from OLED tvs. The picture processing and software that runs it makes the biggest difference.

@@michael-4k4000 Sure, most cheaply made, bottom rung, entry level TVs, of the 55 and 65" size DO ONLY have about a $100 difference in retail price between them. But you've commented here on a site where most folks in the discussion want TVs that are capable of very good or even excellent picture quality performance. And the TV test specialists who test over 200 TV models of various screen sizes, from many manufacturers, for Consumer Reports, EVERY year, confirm that the kind of cheap TV junk that you referred to, where a 65" model offered to a consumer is only $100 higher in retail price than its 55" brand mate is, will always fall into the group of cheaply made TVs that are incapable of very good PQ, & are far, far away from excellent PQ! And BTW, as I last saw CR's online ratings, Sony's 65" A90L rated highly, with a price $700 above the 55" version.

@jglaserbot Ай бұрын

My issue with tvs approaching 100” and over is where do you put the center speaker because now you’re forced to either put it very low to the ground or above the screen to which neither choice is good so you compromise your audio experience. Whereas a projector can use a perforated screen that can have the L,C,R speakers directly behind it and at the correct ear level. I can also customize size my screen to maximize the space available in that room. If I decide to remodel or move guess what I can sell my screen and buy a new one that now fits the best in that space while utilizing the same projector in most cases. I can also choose a cinescope screen and watch movies as they were filmed for the theater or I can simply use masking on a standard screen to remove the black bars, on a tv the black bars are always going to be there regardless the size. So saying that these large 100” and larger tvs are going to make projectors obsolete is ridiculous. They are just different products that will appeal to different people. For me personally I see an advantage to both types for example a nice big QD-Oled in our bright family room and a super immersive dedicated home theater with a 150” picture with the latest immersive sound experience like Dolby Atmos. So again different options based on what each individual prefers which is a great thing.

I bit the bullet and purchased a TCL 85C 805K here in the UK. Its a 144hz 85 inch qled mini led panel with extremely good black levels thanks to its VA screen. Its blown me away how much quality you can get for the price (£1500). I used to use premium 55inch lg CX oled and it is surprising how close this can get IQ wise. In the negatives i will say the out of the box colours and settings were awful and its taken me a fair amount of time to dial in the settings for colpur accuracy. For anyone wavering on whether to go big or stay smaller but get higher quality I would say take the jump and go as big as you can afford.

37:00 one thing to keep in mind with the entire "TV vs Projector" debate is that at some point that 100" TV is either going to break or become outdated(or you may even move). In otherwords before you hit buy just know whats going to be involved in getting rid of that TV that big. For many it will become a major PIA thing to get rid of when the time comes. One thing I really like is the idea of using TV mount extender with high quality smaller sets so you can extend the TV out when watching critical content to get the viewing angle much higher for immersion.

@ChrisBoylan 2 ай бұрын

That's a good point. The one big advantage of a projection-based system is that the "TV" can completely disappear when not in use. And as you say, they're a lot easier to take with you when you move. But for $2K for a 98-inch TV, it's probably worth the eventual hassle of moving it, disposing of it or giving it away if/when that becomes necessary.

@michael-4k4000 2 ай бұрын

Of course it’s gonna break or die or become out dated. But a 98” for $2k is not worth all the issues that come along with projectors. I’ve owned 3 projectors, 2 Sony long throw and a Samsung UST. They are great in some ways, but a tv beats any project in every way except size. One thing no one mentions is how low you need to have the UST projector to the ground for a 120” screen. I had mine at 8” high. One thing I’ve noticed as I’ve gotten older, is a brighter better display is more important then a very large display that’s not as bright.

They should be able to offer both OLED technologies, but they need to be putting them into separate product lines and model numbers to clearly delineate which technology is which. The customers, especially the less knowledgeable ones, deserve that.

So is the Sony "Master Series" badge dead now? Everyone is saying the Bravia 9 is a Master Series, but its not confirmed by Sony. I had an oportunity to get a bigger TV recently. I was upgrading from a Sony 75" Z8H and trying to go 85". I waited until Sony announced their 2024 lineup, but I was suprised there were no new Master Series except for the carry over A95L 2023 OLED and again the Z9K 2022 Mini-LED 8K. I thought about getting the Bravia 9 but ultimately I think the Z9K has more features I wanted like 3 HDMI 2.1, 85 watt Audio and most likely brighter so I ended up getting an 85" Z9K.

The lighting engines for MiniLED/LCD and OLED TVs are both rated to last upwards of 40,000 hours. That's well over 10 years even with heavy use. But other components in a TV can fail like power supplies and circuit boards. I'd say it's fair to expect at least 5-7 years out of a TV, from any brand. Some, like LG, offer 5 year warranties on their OLED panels which is nice from a peace of mind perspective.

None of the participants on this video nor eCoustics itself is sponsored or paid by any TV brands. Opinions are those of the speakers alone, informed by hands-on experience and evaluation of the brands and models mentioned. As to the "brightness" comment, the sun is several million nits. Pitch black is 0 nits. When a display can represent the full range of visible light from 0 to millions of nits, it will be perfect. Until then, everything is a compromise. Difficult scenes like sunrises and sunsets can be captured more effectively by a TV with higher peak brightness capabilities. But sometimes the ability to capture high brightness comes at a cost with other limitations in performance. We're also currently limited by the dynamic range capture capabilities of film and digital cameras and by the mastering practices of the content that we watch on these displays. But it's the display brightness that is the limiting factor in most cases. Most 4K content is mastered at 1000 nits peak brightness, some is mastered for 4000 nits peak brightness, and a small selection of content is mastered at up to 10,000 nits peak. The higher the peak brightness on the display, the closer it can come to reproducing the dynamic range that has been mastered and captured in the actual movie or TV show. Does this mean that brightness is the only, or even the most important factor in image quality? Not necessarily, but it is a fairly easy thing to measure and that makes it an easy number to fixate on (for better or worse).

OLED TV'S are Overrated, Over Priced TV'S for Snobs, who have No Clue about Picture Quality!!!! The Only thing that OLED has is Deep Blacks, and a slight edge on Contrast levels. Things that are hard to see the Difference on without extreme Concentration. QLED TV'S are Much Brighter with Much more Vibrant Colors than OLED TV'S. This is what 95% of Consumers want. Plus the Majority of Consumers shop for the Least Expensive options when they buy. They are Not Seeing the Contrast and Black Level differences that most Honest Reviewers cannot see themselves (They have to take out calibration measuring equipment when they talk about it because what is on the TVS are Not showing a Visible Difference.)

Sony tvs too expensive and Samsung too wonky. And cinephiles say dolby vision is better than hdr I've heard

Dolby Vision is a type of HDR. Similar to HDR10+, Dolby Vision uses dynamic meta data to adapt the dynamic range of the content to best fit the capabilities of the TV. LG, Sony, TCL, and Hisense TVs offer Dolby Vision. Samsung offers HDR10+ which works in a similar fashion. TCL actually also includes HDR10+ on their higher end sets.

DV is the same as regular hdr. HDR10+ is better

Nobody really supports HDR10+.

@@buschg7106 - Not exactly. Dolby Vision and HDR 10+ both use dynamic HDR and so are better able to map the high dynamic range content to the specific capabilities of the display. But it's all about the content, and right now there is a *lot* more content encoded in Dolby Vision which gives Dolby the upper hand.

@@ysoserious784 - Nobody except the #1 and #2 makers of TVs last year (Samsung and TCL) based on volume of sets delivered. Unfortunately there is a lot more content out there encoded in Dolby Vision than in HDR10+ so it's too bad Samsung has chosen not to support it (or more specifically chosen not to pay Dolby to license it). At least TCL includes both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ on their higher end sets.
