QLED is better. Oled is too dark
In a darker environment OLED is S tier and super clean looking
Any tv/monitor is supposed to be viewed at night or at least without direct sunglight.
Even if the screen peaked at 5000 nits, the shadow areas would still get demolished by daylight in the room. It has nothing to do with brghtrness.
SDR full screen experience was/is mastered for 100 nits. And 100 nits is what we are mostly using for last 20 years on lcd monitors.
now here come oled screens that can do 150-200 nits FULL SCREEN or 800-1000nits peak in small window. And real scenes are always higher than that unless you are constantly flash banged.
So I am hearing this comment that oled screens are too dark or dim which is idiotic since we use 100sdr screens for forever and these things are brighter.
The thing is that oleds are also darker than darkest lcd.
If you display a scene, shadow details and dark/black areas can be 0 nits or very low amounts that would get clipped by any light in the room.
Imagine a scene of you going through a tunnel with windows. Walls and corners of the room are 20 nits and windows are 800 nits. Only oled can display this properly and any daylight will clip those shadow details since it's just physics. 500 nits in your room is brighter than 20 nits in dark corner of that tunnel.
That is not limitation of oled. It's just physicsl. Qleds will pump those shadow details at 200 nits, so of course it will be more visible in daytime but it will not be as dark as it should.
Also, considering that any sunlight outside, even in moderatly overcast weather, measures at 500 nits
With this you might be saying: but oleds are too dark to display reality since they are 800 nits and not 3000 nits like real sun outside is.
But it's not how it works. Your eyes adapt and that 3000 nits is dimmed down by your retinas. If You enter yourhouse back again, eyes take a small moment to adapt.
But if You are playing a game ina dark room, your eyes are adapted to dark environment. The screen is only so big. It's not your whole peripheral. So 800 nits is almost blinding as you exit the cave in uncharted 4 or something.
Hope that clears it up a bit why oleds are NOT to dark and why people expect weird things because lcds lit up whole screen at 100-200 nits including dark scenes.
That said - some hdr !!!
just to showhow bright it gets but still there is detail:
and just some hdr!
