LG MiniLED vs LG OLED - Which One Should You Buy? 

MiniLED or OLED. Which do you choose and why?

OLED wins my vote. But the QNED (MiniLED) is very impressive.

MiniLED is by far my choice. You'd think cost is my main deciding factor, but I put that at a very distant 3rd. The top 2 reasons for me: 1) Brighter image 2) Less glare.

Great big screen pictures on both!! I think, for my small space and little bit of outside light I get inside, a 55" OLED. Still the Mini looks a lot better picture wise.

I’ve seen the miniLED next to the OLED at Best Buy. Only in the most extreme conditions of black to white edge contrast can you notice the OLED perform better. But you need to have them side by side. If you have the miniLED in your home you would think it’s OLED. It’s that good. Brighter and no burn in. When they make a 55 inch model I’ll be getting the miniLED

I have a LG CX 55" and I'm happy w/ it. I know things will get better but for now I get 120hz gaming on my PC and it looks beautiful. Price for the new stuff is to wild to upgrade for a good while.

I've had that z9 for six months now. My eyes are customed to it by now.. I've got to say, that movie experience during lockout was close to IMAX-level with 4K streaming. You can sit within 2 metres from the screen and it is perfect. Seeing backlight LCD outside premium premium range now seems odd. They've always been pretty good, but now they seems pale and grayish. Samsung Q9 8K that has been my main refference (I got my z9 at the same price than 85" model) would be great except on one big factor that troubles all backlight tv's: Subtitles. I am customed to use subtitles on all my material, since for me english is a second language. Subtitles ruins dark scenes with back glare. On less-expensive models it might fill the whole middle section on the screen, eben on more expensive models it glares out a lot. Changing subtitle color to yellow and using black bar behind them helps a bit, but does not take the problem away complitely. This is not an issue with Oled. MiniLED from LG is something I've never seen in dark room. My main take is that if your main use of tv is in an environment that is always bright, LCD is propably better. If you want to experience picture as it was ment to be in a place that can be dimmed, OLED is a better option.

Mini LED is looking really good now and the value is great. I don't think I could bring myself to switch from OLED though, even at the extra cost. I'd definitely consider a mini LED for the bedroom but until we get micro LED, the main content screen will be OLED.

Last week i bought Sony's 65X85J and its perfect with 120hZ display and screen quality. Much much better than its counterpart category by LG such as 65Nano86VPA

That LG TV brick stand is so cool. I can't wait for the review!

OLED for me. Just purchased my 65” LG C1 a few months back and it’s so amazing. The deep rich contrast and black levels are some of the things that sold me. It’s great for gaming, having 4 hdmi 2.1 ports, and for cinematic type video the images pop. Best TV I’ve purchased

I've been enjoying my 2021 LG 86" QNED99 TV since last September. I know it does not do dark/deep/black like OLED but I am happy for what it can do.

Wow i remember when my father bouia black and white big TV and we were so happy. It's amazing how far technology brought us. Thanks for sharing this amazing video.

I've used both. The miniLED tech is so close now that I believe the perks of the QLED allow it to shine over the OLED panels. My vote is QLED for my use cases.

I’ve had a 55” OLED for a couple of years and it still impresses me every time I watch it. Hands down the best TV tech and no burn in for me at all, even with a lot of RU-vid and PS.

Is this worth it if you only watch RU-vid Netflix or stream on websites?

Great review. Exciting to watch and know about tech you might never get.

Id be more concerned about the Burn in possibility on OLED. So, I think I want the miniLED.

I have a Qled and a Oled and yeah the OLED contrast blew me away it was incredible. But tbh the QLED had brighter colors its beautiful. So really depends on what you want, Quantum dot OLED are also coming out so that’s the best of both worlds

I think the mini led looks better for me. The contrast looks better since it’s a bit brighter. I hate that I’m struggling with this too lol I am trying to decide between the 85’ Samsung QNED and the 86’ LG nano Never had Samsung. The LG is bigger and has Dolby vision but the QNED looks to have a better picture.

I like this new calmer version of you. I hadn’t watched you in a long time and, frankly, I was getting anxious as I pressed play that I would have to deal with your hyper zaniness. I hope this is a permanent change.

Last year we bought a 55” LG NANO and my wife was very impressed, under $600.00. Till these come down more I can’t justify it. Great video.

My working class family only had a 16” or smaller black and white CRT TV when I was a kid in the early 80s. Finally got a 26” color set when I was 6 or 7, but that was state of the art in my world. It really puts into perspective and helps me appreciate the tech we have today - My LG C1 65” would be unimaginable, alien tech when I was a kid. Even movies about the future didn’t usually imagine displays that nice.

Finally I’ve been on the fence between which one to get 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Think it very much depends on the room, my CX 55 OLED looks amazing, but the glossy screen would be so annoying in a very bright room with the reflections. It does get plenty bright, think 750nits but obviously nowhere near something like 1600nits you can get with some MiniLED tvs so for much brighter rooms MiniLED would be better, for out and out picture quality in a darker room, OLED just wins.

Reminds me of the great Plasma vs LED debate. Plasma was expensive and heavy, but had much better blacks and generally better contrast. LED was less expensive and much lighter, but had grayer blacks, worse contrast, and some models had weird streaking issues that didn't seem to be present on the equivalent plasma models. LED ultimately won out as the tech got better/cheaper, but I loved the picture on my plasma set for movies.

I have the LG 65C1 and while it is fantastic, I do kind of regret not getting a miniLED TV instead. The display often does not feel bright enough for the room that I have it in.

Well presented and tought out video, useful comparsion. I will still go for the Oled, but it is cool to see, that its not so - "well of course i will" - kind of thing anymore.

One of the most useful reviews about comparison between QNED vs OLED. and I'm going QNED yeah.

I've recently bought a 48" LG C1 OLED... it is INSANELY good, still leaves me in awe.

It’s all about preference. There are no winners. It all comes down to what type of environment your are in or what type of content you consume the most. OLED is an obvious choice in a darker room & MiniLED goes for a brighter room.

I just bought a 77 inch lg c1 with the evo panel and i love it. Gets bright and it’s just beautiful picture

I'm okay with my 55 in lcd tv 🖥 it's been consistent and bright. Honestly even 300 dollar tvs are amazing.

Good viewing angles and less reflection is more important to me than the deepest of blacks. So I'd go with the MiniLED one. They're both waaay better than my current one anyway lol.

OLED 💕, why? the immersive experience and near natural tone of colors does it for me . . . Dope unboxing

I am very happy with my LG 65inch G1 Evo. Would not even think twice. OLED right now but I have to say it is not cheap. I hope the cost is made more affordable for all to own.

Great video on the comparison. I going tilted to Qled based on your review and others. Thanks

we need qd oled, brightness of last gen mini led with the benefit of oled and probably the best color space for consumer tv. that’s the best tv for gaming and movies money can buy. microled might beat oled on movie but probably never achieved native 1ms response time of oled with no ghosting

I have the LG nano cell and I love it. Gaming never looked smoother on any other big name TV that I've owned.

Mini LEDs for my next tv and monitor. I have an 55'' OLED since 2018. the image quality is excellent with the deep black, but overtime I've seen the bad side of OLED. Burn-in is a real thing particularly if you've got someone at home who like to watch content with static stamps in the corners ( like my gf watch RU-vid videos not Fullscreen with the red symbol at the top left). Also noticed a red stock pixel toward the bottom left part of the screen now, but I guess that can happen regardless of the panel technology.

Thanks for the insight, now i feel more confident to go for that 24" LED insignia.

MiniLED, I'm not sure if because of the video you chose for the comparison or the cam used. But on the OLED actually the rocks at the bottom dissapeared, they became just a black void. Where else the MiniLED I could see where exactly the rocks meet and separate.

The main advantage of MiniLED is HDR content, the bright objects in a MINILED looks like like, while the main advantage of OLED is contrast but also details in dark scenes. Personally MiniLED is the way to go, dark levels are not bad at all on the mini.

I’ve had an OLED C8 for 3 years. It’s been awesome.

how is the panning motion on this tv? It seems like my Vizio P series needs settings adjusted for every different thing I watch due to motion artifact/judder or oversmoothing issues. My old Plasma TV is still kicking and never touch the settings on that thing.

Both TVs are lovely but would go for the OLED model!

Id pick the MiniLED over the OLED for sure, even at the same price based on what I'm seeing here

I switched to projection 1080p I love it. More portability.

Oled. I tried a Samsung 65 q90 mini led and it had bad dirty screen effect and ghosting for gaming. Returned it and got the LG C1 65 and love it. Not as bright as the Samsung is my only complaint about it. But is great in every other way!

Your consistency and quality of content never disappoints!❤️

It would be interesting to see how these two technologies stack up against the latest laser ultra short throw projectors.

QNED. It depends on the ambient light in the room it's going to be used. If you have lots of outdoor light, windows etc get the QNED. To really appreciate the gradients of blacks you need a very dark viewing room.

Been using c9 oled for over a year ,im pleased.

I had an LG 55” OLED and it suffered from image burn in while watching shows on RU-vid TV. It was mainly station logos in the bottom corners, for instance if you watched the news for any period of time. I’ve heard things have improved, but it makes me lean toward the miniLED screens for that sole reason.

I actually bought 77 CX Oled and 75 inch Qned99. I use the oled for content consumption such movie and tv viewing, funny enwouch I watch a lot of RU-vid on it. For the Qned99 I was blessed enough to get my first gaming pc with an RTX 3090 in it plus both the Xbox series X and PS5. Basically my qned99 is meant for gaming. Now granted of course I could game on my oled no problem but my very first oled had burn in from me playing for x amount of hours so I tend to baby most of the oled TVs I had ever since out of habit and the technology has come such a long way where it can be push a bit harder but I just don’t. I also have the qned99 for the possibility of 8k gaming in some form and for extended gaming sessions. I’ll probably post a picture of my setup at some point

I have a 65 inch LG C1 in my bedroom, and I’m never going back. Might get something QLED from Samsung in the future for the living room, but for dim/dark room viewing, nothing is better than OLED imo. Not to mention next gen gaming looks absolutely stunning on LG OLEDs. I’m still stunned by how good my PS5 runs and looks on this TV

I'm looking forward to QD OLED. Ultimate contrast and blacks of OLED, with the boosted brightness of LED LCD...

I have owned a an LG E6 and it got screen burn after while, so for long term investment definitely the miniLED.

OLED is definitely better but mini LED looks good

I love my lg nanocell! That mini led put up a hell of a comparison imo

Best unbox videos. Period.

Who knew cinder blocks could be such a great TV stand.

I mean, it's hard to really see what's going on on my ancient TV from like 2014, and it might just be that fact talking, but honestly I think the MiniLED looks better from where I'm sitting .. :o

I have a AUS$500 55" Kogan LED TV. It's a beast. Tech has come along way on the cheaper end of the stick.

I already got the 55 inch LG c1 I need another tv for my racing sim set-up but idk what to go with

I'd pick the LCD because I know my viewing habits and until there is an affordable QD-OLED display I don't think I'd be comfortable with an oled again until I know that burn-in actually won't be an issue in the future. It's still years away until it's actually affordable to me though.

Hi good evening I want the blacker blacks higher costs is worth it to me! I truly looking to purchase the SONY XR Bravia series OLED 77 in next size up!

Cant wait for the qdOLED comparison

A while back I wanted the 77" LG C1 OLED but again the cost was and still pretty much is a lot. I ended up getting the 75" Hisense U7G for the 120hz refresh rate with gaming and I'm extremely impressed with the picture quality compared to my 55" 3D Panasonic TV that I was using before it but when I got the 3D TV 4K was pretty much just coming out and it was more expressive then but I will probably get an OLED of either LG or Sony in a few years but watching this video the mini LED looked better with picture quality but I'd have to view them in person to get a better feel of them.

OLED all day if you watch quality 4K Ultra HD movies and want the best at-home experience.. also excellent for 120hz gaming. I think the QNED is better value in the larger sizes, however.

I have both and...if cost is the issue, go Mini-LED...it's great...but not OLED great. If you can afford the additional cost, go OLED. I have a 75" QNED and a 48" OLED...the OLED is far superior...but the QNED is excellent (unless it's a dark scene...looks foggy since the backlight algo kinda sucks.)

Look at how vibrant the oled panel is ❤‍🔥

you forgot to mention the best future in mini-led TVs which is "no screen burn by time" compared to expansive OLEDs.

Got the Oled yesterday and the base of the TV dropped out of the box onto our hardwood floor. Left a massive dent, let alone it weighed 40 pounds 🤦‍♂️

thank you , it's very helpful

Lower price mini led qled I love oled hove oled tablet but also have bright room where tv will go . Only makes sense to get lower priced mini q led, Thanks 😊

It's the micro-led that matters and unfortunately it doesn't look like its cost is coming down anytime soon.

Qled

Do u have a video on the top ten all around tvs or top ten all around tvs for gaming? If not pls make a video it would be very interesting to see.

When you compare the contrast miniLED almost closed the gap with OLED. And OLED isnt anywhere near the brightness of miniLED. So in my opinion miniLED wins. But I still bought an OLED, because I am working over day, and I mostly watch TV when its dark. For my particular use case OLED is better. But miniLED is still better technology overall. I would say if you are buying a TV for sleepingroom buy an OLED, and a TV for livingroom buy a miniLED.

What I'd like to see next with these TVs, is better framework and handling. I think they're just looking a bit more fragile with how much they've slimmed down.

I'd get the mini LED I like the colors a little better I understand the dark capabilities and stuff of OLED I just prefer the other picture to me it looks better

This new set looks awesome. How much does Bruce charge you to rent the space?

I want to get my hands on an 85 inch for my new condo. Problem is, every cent cuts i to my cost of living. So is it worth going 4 grand in the hole for what could be the best at home cinematic experience in my life yet. Or do i settle for qled, more cost effective with a few sacrifices.

Him: makes a full video on the exact speks of a tv Me: TV is TV 👁👄👁

Brightness for me it just looks nicer

Just replaced my 2017 OLED Curve. Burn In issue 6 yrs later. Little skeptical to get C2 because of the Burn ins..but with newer technology, hope that fixed that. Extremely Hard decision becasue QNED miniled on display shows pretty damn close to OLED. $400 difference in price and only way you will tell, if they are side by side, end of day, fingers crossed on OLED C2 just purchased. bit the bullet.

What was the mountain biking video game that was being played earlier in the video ?

Until we see a TV top OLED, OLED will always be the go to TV. MiniLED cannot reach black levels like OLED yet. Also, newer OLEDs are going to be brighter than previous years so there’s that.

Oled for TV, Miniled for computer screen.

It depends on the lighting of the room, but OLED all day everyday. Nothing beats those perfect blacks. The blooming affect around high contrast images in a pitch black room bother me on mini-led, but the image on OLED might as well be floating in midair it’s so perfect, but if I were setting up a TV in a more lit room I’d go the mini-led route for the brighter picture and less glare.

My thing is gaming on a 65".. I need low latency so oled is still the king 👑.. I bought a 65" LG C1 for about 1800 about 6 months ago and I think it's amazing. My biggest complaint is the glare though. Sometimes it's too much when it's bright out I can see my curtains in the background

"2 Totally different price categories" Nah man, both are in the same category: Hella expensive and out of reach.

75", 8k, mini led. Yeah the price is outrageous for sure

Oled because of power usage = less electricity bill ;) . But , If you put any flat screen on a wall at height , just scrap it instead ! To save on the neck ache and physical issue it causes . As for size ? Very people know there is a guide for/on this , because the recommended is due to viewing distant . The same as the top of the screen should be at eye height when sitting , not 6 feet up on a wall !

Recently got the LGC1 TV to use with my Xbox Series X and it's by far the best TV I've ever used

🎉

60Hz r outdated.120 Hz is standard OLED

Lew, I wonder if you can get the blacks even closer to the OLED if you turn down the brightness to match the OLED’s brightness…? Interesting since it’s brighter and it also causes the halo effect… I would love to know.

Found a sale on the LG 86" Mini LED and ordered it, hope I like it.
