Good to know

Questions people ask

Is Mini LED better than OLED?

It is brighter and has no burn-in risk, but cannot match OLED’s black level. The better choice depends on your room.

What is blooming?

A glow around bright objects against a dark background, caused by backlight zones being larger than the object.

Do more zones mean a better TV?

Often, but tuning matters. Independent measurements are more informative than the zone count.
