OLED TVs: 8K & 4K OLED TVs

OLED TVs: How Do They Work?

OLED TVs are crafted with color in mind, all resulting in a completely reimagined way of igniting millions of pigments across the screen. While some of the more modern television acronyms can seem difficult to understand, the technology behind OLED TVs isn't tough. It's just like a classic LED panel, but lit in a whole new way. These screens are powered by organic light-emitting diodes—instead of a complete panel of bright white hiding behind your screen to provide color, your television's color can be controlled at the pixel level. Each individual tiny point can create its own light, hue and even opacity, independent of the one next to it. The result? Unbelievable contrast like nothing you've seen before.

Are OLED TVs Worth It?

As the technology of home entertainment continues to increase, the true answer is yes. If you had asked that question a few years ago when these prices were truly sky-high, the answer may have been a little less clear. But OLED TVs are truly worth the (dropping) price thanks to that color contrast, as well as their quality and precision. Each scene can be controlled at the pixel level, meaning that for the darkest blacks, the pixel turns completely off. Since there's no backlight behind it, you'll find the truest blacks available on the market. That makes OLED TVs from brands like LG and Sony some of the perfect picks for cinephiles who hope to see their films in a whole new, completely vivid way.

What if you're not a true cinephile, are OLED TVs still worth it for you? Yes, definitely. Whatever way you love entertainment, you'll see things in beautiful new organic contrast. Gamers will see expansive worlds made anew for higher performance and better immersion, while streamers will sink even further into their newest TV show. And if you're a sports fan? You'll get to see every pass, dunk and hit as if you're there in the stadium. Whatever you're ready to watch, you'll see it like never be for with a screen made from organic light-emitting diodes.

Finally, OLED TVs rarely come with just a panel of organic light-emitting diodes. These high-powered televisions almost always come with more smart tech built in, like a high-resolution 4K or even 8K screen. You'll likely find smart features included too, like the ability to control the TV with your voice via Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. Intuitive operating systems make it easy to find the apps and streaming services you're looking for, too. That's true performance in entertainment, and to make it completely superb, pair your OLED TV with a powerful soundbar.
