HDR is the biggest leap in TV tech in years. It is the only reason I upgraded to the Z9D. I had looked at 4K TV sets for years, but nothing had a dramatic enough leap in PQ to justify an upgrade until HDR.

I have to say that OLED is absolutely not the way to go for HDR though. Full Array Locally Dimmed LEDs like Sony's Z9 series, or Samsung's QLEDs are where you really see the benefits of HDR. The next massive leap will be with Sony CLEDIS and Samsung MicroLED. This tech will give you the benefits of per pixel illumination like OLED has, while also offering full 10K Nits peak brightness, and no fear of burn in.

If you are in the market purely for an HDR TV right now, the only sets I would look at are Sony's Z9 Series or Samsung's QLEDs. Non of the other TVs deliver benefits of HDR.

OLED has it's own benefits, but HDR is not the highlight of OLED technology.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
