OLED, QLED, or Mini-LED? Which to TV Buy in Early 2026

Is there a specific 2025 model you’re waiting for? What’s drawing you to it?

Ótima explicação! Eu acho que na hora da escolha, o ecossistema da TV conta muito também. Eu comprei uma Samsung QLED 4K e além da imagem e cores excelentes, o que realmente fez a diferença na minha rotina são os recursos integrados. O upscaling com o Vision AI melhora para caramba a qualidade dos vídeos e transmissões ao vivo. E o plus de ter o Gaming Hub pra jogar direto na nuvem sem console e o Samsung TV Plus já embutidos tornam ela muito completa. Estou amando a minha!

I still have my 65 inch samsung plasma tv from future shop and still going today lol

Hugely helpful! I have the G4 bit just finished a large development of my home and a new open plan area. What would you suggest for a the best TV in a bright space, around the 85” zone? Would look to spend about 5-6k but can be persuaded 😂

Hi, I bought an LG QNED86 and later realized it was edge lit (completely forgot to check it before buying it) but should I be worried or try to switch it out for a different tv?

I just bought a Vizio that I am already sick of. It took place of my Westinghouse t hat was over 12 years old. 😂 It was freaking great!

I just want a 55” tv that works in a bright room and isn’t going to take a computer scientist to help me. Our last tv died at 20 years old. There weren’t even smart tvs then. Geesh.

Instead of a Traditional tv and you can’t take it no where. It sits at home. I bought a 2026 16in MacBook Pro with all the bells and whistles. it’s with me everywhere I go with a nice leather carrying case for it. Its awesome.

An OLED tv gets a substantially better picture.

All TVs fail slowly per year.
5 hours per day the thing will probably last 8 years maybe, reach the magic 10
10 hours per day and noticable degradation at 5 years.
But,
who really knows ?
Perhaps, expect early failure, buy lower priced best in town and save for a new best ingredients replacement = inevitable.
However,
being used to an Ultra Short Throw projector no TV can improve on an immersive 150" screen.

Really good job with this video, helped a lot!

I have a 75 inch LG C3 OLED and it’s been beautiful for 2 years+

So scamsung literally has neo qled and mini led seperate does the scummysung mini led have quantum dots or not mate ?

The newest generation of Samwrong TVs have under rated transistor to allow blowout of other components prematurely. YT is full of jesters peddling the Samsung deception, given the low IQ quota of most Americans today it’s an easy sell. Pay premium for the lowest end internals, go for it.

My Vizio V705-J01 is ok but I want an upgrade because I get pixelization in black screen video what would you recommend it’s my main tv

LG G5 it is then.

I have a 2012 samsung, i have no clue what kind and i don't care

I paid $ 3500 for my 2005 50 inch plasma. Its still working. 😂

Mini led with qled

Thank you for the great content!

I went from a Samsung 55" QLED to a Sony Bravia 8 65" OLED and think the QLED was better, especially for video games

Well today, BUYING ANY TV IS A HUGE WASTE OF MONEY because NO MATTER what you buy today, from the very cheapest to the most expensive high-end(last cat's meow) TV, the ultimate result is that YOU WILL BE LUCKY IF IT LASTS 4-5 YEARS BEFORE IT FAILS ! This is because the electronic components(usually made in China and in certain other Asian countries) of JUST ABOUT ANY TV's are made to fail shortly after the warranty (typically one year) period is over! and the TV itself is obsolete after two to three years! Now try to get it fixed and you'll be told that it's not worth it because fixing it would be more expensive than the TV itself is worth! And that goes for the super-high-end(last cat's meow) TV's too! By the way, if your TV even can make it to say, 9 years like mine did, you'll be told that they only have parts for it for 5 years like what I was told by Samsung what I tried to get my high-end(last cat's meow) TV fixed! OK, anybody that looks at a Youtube video about TV's or actually goes to an electronics store like Best Buy to see them, has to admit that the TV's are super amazing looking but also can get very expensive, especially the huge high-end(llast cat's meow) ones! You can go ahead and buy a TV today but be prepared to budget a large portfolio of money to spend every 4-5 years, especially if you want to get a huge high-end(last cat's neow) TV every 4-5 years! I made this comment hoping to make any TV buyers realize what they're actually getting into when they want to purchase a new TV ! It's like getting a new version of an Apple iPhone every time they come out with a new (supposedly more capable) iPhone, only your typical TV can get way more expensive than an iPhone!

I just realized two topics that are important to make the right choice. The screen, is it reflective or matte? My OLED reflects my lamps too much. Also, viewing angle too. If she wants to watch the living room while cooking in the kitchen, is she just going to see a washed-out picture or like she's looking directly at it.

Great tips, thanks for sharing!

I'm going with micro led TCL

Is mini led worth it for gaming?

Since posting this a year later, we have , rgb and sqd. Also not mentioned is the micro led tech.

the swap from calling tv’s LCD to LED is so that people will buy a QLED TV thinking it’s an OLED TV

I am so criminally retarded that i was watching this thinking "they all look the same to me" but then i had an epiphany, i am watching this on an lcd screen, holy fucking dumb.

Very helpful . Thank you.

ha I love how they just change the title to match whatever year it is.
uploaded in april of 2025 yet the title says early 2026... I bet it will have a new title this time next year.
