OLED vs Full Array LED: What's The Difference? 

Big gamer myself and have a PS5 and Xbox series X and I agree with your comments. I have a Samsung 4K tv and it does get very dark in some games especially those set at night. .

Thanks for this.. Now I've decided ro buy a LED TV because I'm also dedicated gamer.. cheers!

You can make a LED sort of mimic OLED by putting the HDMI black level on low and yup.... Can't see shit! 😂 Colors do look slightly better and improves viewing angles too or at least it does on my q70t. Never experienced an actual OLED tho, so I guess I'll vote LED too.

Thank you so much for this! I am also a big gamer myself and am trying to find the best tv at an affordable price! To go with my Xbox series x to play forza 5 :)

100% agree. Every reviewer on RU-vid seems to be getting kickbacks to pump up OLED. But in every side-to-side, LEDs outperform in brightness, which is most evident in side by side comparisons of snow scenes. Every OLED TV makes snow look gray. I don't want to watch a football game at Lambeau field in December and the snow doesn't look white. Contrast is great...until it can't allow for brightness.

Good point on exposure.

@@subinr6234 ikr oled is a bit overrated but this comment section is full of oled fanatics

Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻

OLEDs look too blue on camera, especially when next to an LCD tv, making it impossible too judge from videos like these. But I did notice this part as well and the X90J did look far more natural (except this is not how the OLED looks irl)

Literally default settings. This TV is not great without going into the menu, THEN it's a whole different story.

Lmao first off the loess have a far bigger range into blacks, meaning it’s not just completely dark or not dark it has full range from complete dark to white meaning better picture. Second off he has standard settings for everything, my Ike’s looks completely different from when stock settings were a factor.

bad choice, oled is the future

@@draco2xx Then they better work on those burn in issues then.

@@draco2xx Nope. That's Micro LED.

@@draco2xx when they fix or minimise the burn in issues , I'll consider getting the OLED...

@@draco2xx which one is it ? The one you're considering buying ?

You won't burn it in, that whole thing is overblown. Congrats on the OLED!

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking, there we're so many other colours on the Full array - it actually looked real rather than fisher price primary green.

IIRC OLED should be able to show more colours. It also highly depend on the setting used while showing the video he did.

@@Masterfighterx not entirely true, colors volume directly associated with brightness.

I agree. IMO the LED seemed far more natural in most examples including blacks. It seemed the OLED lacked subtlety in blacks, shading. Sharpness seems to favor the OLED though. Seeing them side by side in person is really the only way to tell. My X85J 75” shows up soon!

@@manfredstrappen7491 probably should have went x95j unless you don't care for true hdr.

im in the market for a tv to do exactly what you are doing with it too lol any recommendations of where i can find more info to make a good choice? i need it to be good for games, movies, etc. but also to use as a computer

Thanks for the feedback, we have more TV videos like this coming soon.

I'm planning on going with x90h it has full array led in it, what do you think?

@@ashbinx replying to your question even though you may have made your decision but I own the x90h and its mind blowing. Deep inky blacks. 120 hz refresh rate and now the vrr update is also given so its ready for next gen gaming. 4k movies look absolutely stunning. Streaming like Netflix in 4k looks amazing too.

@@Kashif314 don't the vrr update have a lots of issues on that model?

I just got the X90j it’s freaking awesome 4k 120 on ps5 can’t wait for GT7

Yes set the brightness high, 12 months later your oled crap ass tv is completely burned in. Lol.

@@jatochofnietdan2115 jelly you can't afford one?

@@grandmascreampie5372 i have one, completely burned in. Dont forget,LG the most returned tv with burn in.

@@jatochofnietdan2115 which Lg do you have?

​@@grandmascreampie5372 My budget for a tv is $3k and I will be getting full array over oled purely by choice lol

Certainly an amazing TV I’ve had mine for just under a year now, and going from the 55” to 77” C1.

Please share your experience. Especially on the brightness. I am evaluating between both for a bright room.

@@tubsaltman the tv is more than bright and will suit any bright room. Out of the 4 walls, 2 walls are complete windows and I don’t have any nets or curtains either

Exactly I Mena I did do led for a bit I was using the Samsung q8 and then I upgraded to the q8fn and then I made the switch to the lg c9 and now I own the a90j and idk how they did it but the hdr is insane the dynamic range is unlike any tv I've ever experienced it has so much punch yet still maintaining its depth it can also hold its saturation at higher brightness unlike oled tvs of the past I just wish more people knew to check the color space half of the comparisons online are false as they are done on the RU-vid app you need to force bt2020 when using the RU-vid app it has a bug where it doesn't do it automatically as it should as Vincent from HDTV test has shown and covered so half of the comparisons where people think the w90j doesn't have as much color is due to it not being in wide while the other tvs are in wide which is insane insane see how good the a90j still did so yeah make sure to force that bt2020 if you sre using apps espeiclsly the RU-vid app when in hdr this tv has sooooo much color its not just accurate it can get all the saturation you want it blew my c9 out of the water if I'm being honest lol

@@reviewforthetube6485 WOW I have a C9 also in my living room. The A90J is in my bedroom. Friends that come over don't see the Sony but they all comment how fantastic the LG is.

@@petermaz701 yeah man just make sure to check your color space when using apps and stuff or eveb any inputs make sure it's bt2020 on hdr hell check out Adobe rgb in sdr it's nice every once in a while

This video is only telling you about what Sony offers and I assume so because his real interest is to get you to buy one from him. It's not in his interest to talk about what other manufacturers are offering (such as mini-led). He does a good job but he isn't here just to entertain you but to become your video salesman, thus the reason to only mention Sony specifics without even telling yoou there are other variables in that market

@petermaz, you have burn in issues ?

Great choice, stay tuned for some tips & tricks :-)

Watch them in Dolby vision much better

I have the 75 90k and I love it, thinking of going 85 inch and putting the 75 inch in another room

Same here. This differences don't warrant another 800 to 1000 dollars.

Which one did you buy?

@@attilamorvai my 75" X90J has handled any and everything I have thrown at it.

@@HipRapBlack7 Do you have the x89j in your country?

@@attilamorvai I'm not sure. I'm in Canada

Sony led definitely

@@devkhatri53 thanks, already brought Sony OLED A80J.

"I just dont enjoy watching movies on an oled" Wut ?

@@kikykioko hi, sorry, missed spelled, I only like oled tvs. Not led(for gaming its ok, but movies 👎🏻

@@ColinMcX okok i prefer that ahah :) i recently bought a lg gx and she is awsome

@@ColinMcX I was wondering if I should pull the trigger, but a bit afraid of the "burn in effect". Im probably watching 25% scope content and 75% in 16:9

@@renascent88 Hi, I don’t watch regular tv channels, only streaming series, movies or blu ray 4k. The Oled issues have almost vanished, LG has better implantations to prevent burn in imo, I have the C1 too, but Sony has an image for movies excellent. Btw, I got the 77” A80J and the C1 55”. Both good tvs, but LG doesn’t allow you to change the gamma in Dolby Vision, tends to get a bit dark, but Sony allows you to change everything. If you watch varied content, you wont get Burn in. Hope to have helped 😊

Sony 55" Class XR55X90J vs Sony 55" Class - X90CJ Series Which one is better? I want to buy "SONY 55". Which one would you recommend from both options?

Oled all day long sony or Lg no question

Cuz anything brighter would cause burn in. I'll buy full array.

+1, I was also wondering this very same thing.

The legs have 3 different settings, one of them raises the tv about 3 inches for those who place a sound bar in front of the tv.

It's just the Sony. That's why rting rates the qn90a higher

Oled don’t have a backlight.

@@tonynittoli4792 I know, I think it's easily missunderstood, it's meant as it doesn't over expose because it doesn't have backlight.

Modern technology is improving fast and on OLED it will be very very hard for you to create a burn in. You have to really abuse your TV. On LED burn-in is impossible.

@@magnaig thank you for the info 😁

I disagree I’ve had normal use on a few-year-old old lead and the super simple and Netflix logos are totally burned in just long enough for there to be no warranty

Wrong. The move from one zone to nearly a thousand (TOP END) ....is NOT as great as the move to over 8 million with OLED.

@@8020Alive Numerically you are right but in how they feel in real life you are wrong. I have an LG C1(oled used by me),a Sony 900H(Full Array VA used by my wife) and a samsung NU7100(Edge lit IPS used by my oldest son) We all feel the jump from the Edge lit IPS to FALD VA feels bigger than from FALD VA to OLED(which is still noticeable)

@@8020Alive Numerically yes but in real life experience No. I have an LG C1(used by me) a Sony X900H(used by my wife)and a Samsung Nu7100(used by my eldest son) We all feel the jump from the Nu7100(Edge lit IPS) to sony 900h( VA Full Array) feels bigwe than from the 900h(VA Full array) to the LG C1(OLED)(which is still noticeable) It's simply the law of diminishing returns.

@@007GoldenLion which one would u prefer sir between these 3 models

@@indianhomegymequipment3424 OLED is the beat no contest. Full array is good enought if you cant afford an OLED... i just can no longer recomend edge lit tvs

Maybe its your HDMI cable, I purchased the 90k and its been beautiful right out of the box, I did purchase a high quality HDMI cable. Most of all these full array models are the same ,they just change the alphabet.

Except it’s really not. Especially when both are calibrated. Anybody reviewer who has both will tell you that. The only time the A90 is visibly brighter is in vivid mode. And during highlights of SOME HDR content, not all.

It 100 percent is even calibrated John just covered this from value electronics you know the calibrator that calibrated the tvs for the US shootout every year he said the a90j is brighter in the smaller highlights and it's def noticeable it's one of the onpy oled tvs noticeable hell Vincent from HDTV test just covers how much brighter then a90j is then any oled he's seen it has the most impactful hdr he's seen sure the a80j is close and similar but the a90j will be brighter on his end just like everyone else's was even b the installer saw it with his a90j in the comparison was still brighter then his a80j in hdr and yes his was calibrated it's boosting the highlights luckily Vincent checked it next to a reference monitor and it wasn't needlessly brightening things he said it's the closest any oled has gotten so thats huge imo

@@reviewforthetube6485 I’ve watched every reviewer who’s compared both. from Vincent, down to quantum, & even from newcomers like tech with KG. They all say The A90 is brighter yes. But not by that much. It even has a more aggressive ABL than the a80 does. In most real world content you can’t really notice the difference. It’s only noticeable depending on the content. You only truly notice the difference when it comes to HDR content. But for regular things like SDR and sports the difference is negligible. Unless you have then right next to each other. And even then it’s not that much brighter.

@@bherbo3943 it's an olrd I'm not saying by much but having that extra in smaller highlights give sit insane 3 dimensionality as John covered and stated its just flat out better on there latest stream Vincent has come out and say Sony is better in years he did this year even his should you buy a80j video he stated Sony is just better this year I mean its not hard hard read between the lines I get what you are saying sure it isn't 500 nits difference but the way the Sony processor is working this yeer it really does add that bit of punch on the highlights they have all said it just does hdr different it really pushes and pops where it needs to I'm talking about Sony a80j and a90j together on this I like the fact it keeps its apl normal with onyl a bit more while the smaller highlights really pop it give sit such a good look you also need to go watch KG again he said the a80j has more aggressive dimming he just covered it I talk to KG on a daily basis the a90j is brighter he will tell you straight up I'm not saying the a80j isn't because the a80j is brighter then any other oled out right now including the g1 sure the a90j isn't much brighter just a tad I'm talking in general over other oled tvs I wasn't meaning just against the a80j you sre correct tho the a80j is absolutely very close to the a90j I don't disagree and it may be the better buy due to the price but that heatsink really helps with retention with how hard these panels are being pushed so for me it was worth it both the a80j and a90j when using brightness preffered have abl but when using gradient preffered as you should for reference works just fine and doesn't happen also but the kg thing you said he alresdy stated the a80j can be a bit more agressive so did keep it classy and others El mejor even av passion all covered this

Sure, in some cases it's brighter but not $1,600 brighter for the 65".

the white color is much better in x90j

Hi Nick, great comparison. It does depend on your room and whether you need that extra size however in most cases I would choose quality over size. Especially as the step up from the X95J to the A80J is from LED to OLED. The colours pop so much more and the experience is that much more cinematic. I hope this helps! Cheers, Jonathan
