oh my God is this the end for OLED TCL just announced a new TV that fellas I got to be honest with you could definitely spell trouble for very expensive OLED TVs and who knows maybe even monitors could be in trouble in the near future as well now that being said in my opinion OLED will always be the superior technology when it comes to the visuals and that's for a number of reasons not only is it going to be faster than any mini LED can ever possibly get but it's also going to have better viewing angles and per pixel local dimming those are things that no matter how good mini LED gets it cannot match but mini LED can get way brighter it can get way larger and it can get way cheaper at least that's how things are going right now so depending on what you're looking for well mini LED could be a good option and that option is only getting better thanks to the new qm 952g which was just announced by TCL now let me give you the specs up front this is crazy it's going to apparently hit up to 6,500 nits and it will have over 14,000 local dimming zones on the 98 in model now there are two models that have been announced so far an 85 in model with 10,386 local Di dimming zones and then a 98in variant with 14,112 now in comparison the current I believe 98 in version from TCL does actually have around 5,184 so that is almost three times the Zone count and you can bet that is going to have a huge impact on how good this TV is going to look fellas not only will it sear your eyeballs because 6,500 so much it's not that much but but on top of that at yes the contrast is going to be significantly better due to that massive increase in zone count and this will be coming in at a more palatable price almost certainly than OLED making an 85 in greatl looking TV and even 98 in far more affordable for people but how much of an impact is it going to have let's go ahead and talk about the history of mini LED now the first mini LED displays were around 384 zones on the right here is my example of basically how minute 384 local dimming zones can get when it comes to the contrast as you can tell it's going to be kind of Blocky if you have bright stuff right next to dark stuff there's going to be a ton of blooming not so good then we went to about 576 zones a lot better still not good enough now we're at roughly most displays around 1,000 now here's what that looks like in my opinion it's still not good enough at 2,000 it's starting to get a little bit better starting to kind of compete but not quite there yet 4,000 certainly better still not good enough but take a look at the difference between 4,000 zones and 10,000 you really can't make out the detail at 4,000 you can at 10,000 and that's the difference in contrast that's going to make now when we go from 10,000 to 20,000 look at this boom yes there is micro contrast in this image that's where we need to get to his 20,000 of course Beyond that 40,000 even better you get those subtle details but I think honestly 20,000 will be good enough to convince most people to save the thousands upon thousands of dollars going for mini LED over OLED in a lot of conditions not all conditions but a lot I mean yeah if you're going to be viewing the TV at an angle definitely go with OLED if you're going to be doing a ton of gaming definitely go with OLED as I do believe it is going to be worth it to go with that but if you're going to be in a bright room looking at it straight on this is going to be good so you're going to be somewhere between here and here when it comes to contrast on these new TVs that's nuts these are going to be game changers when it comes to the price to Performance I guess you could say of a display in 2025 because yes that's when these will be launching and I'll be sure to be covering them probably at CES in 2025 and doing a full review afterwards so make sure you're subscribing for everything display related here on the display guy whether you're looking to connect a new console gaming PC or just need a fast and reliable HTMI cable to connect over long distances Roo has you covered with their certified 8K HDMI 2.1 fiber optic cable available in sizes of up to 50 ft and can deliver a perfect full 48 gbits per second connection over distances other cables could only dream of reaching and with 48 gbits per second a bandwidth it can easily drive 8K 60 FPS or 4K 144 FPS 10bit h R video through its ultra thin flexible and durable housing and it even supports ER so if you're in the market for a cable that can drive a beautiful new TV or monitor be sure to check out ruo on Amazon today
