Every tech has inherent weaknesses and strengths. It depends on what strengths you prefer and what weaknesses you can igonre , oleds contrast and deep blacks with zero blooming in dark scenes or fald qleds brightness.So is FALD currently the only comprehensive almost no problem TV technology around?
Micro LED is the only comprehensive technology around. The current solutions go over 1500 nits and have pixel level control.So is FALD currently the only comprehensive almost no problem TV technology around?
So OLED still is the best choice one can make in todays' day and age?Micro LED is the only comprehensive technology around. The current solutions go over 1500 nits and have pixel level control.
While brightness is needed for HDR, so is contrast and black control. Also FALD TV brightness goes very low on small specular highlights (1% - 5% ABL), even lower than OLED.
For consumer tech, OLED is the best tech around right now for overall PQ. The next solution seems to be QD-OLED next year and then QNED in 2023-24.
Right now yes. But the 2021 Samsung mini-LEDs look real impressive too. So OLED might lose this year. The Q90A is going to have ~800 dimming zones which are active matrix (till now most mini LEDs are passive matrix). However, OLED are also getting brighter this year.So OLED still is the best choice one can make in todays' day and age?
That will never happen. There will always be an upcoming technology.My quest for an upgrade would also be when the dust settles and a new technology in the horizon takes over and it becomes commercially viable.
But at some point a technology will freeze and will become the numero Uno choice of people. It will throw out or replace other not so desirable technologies. 2021-23 are the years that will bring the 'candidate' most preferred technology into vogue.That will never happen.

That's just speculation. We already have a few technologies to go till 2030 at least.But at some point a technology will freeze and will become the numero Uno choice of people. It will throw out or replace other not so desirable technologies. 2021-23 are the years that will bring the 'candidate' most preferred technology into vogue.
It is a never ending process because then standards change.But at some point a technology will freeze and will become the numero Uno choice of people.

Also, current LCD TVs aren't better for HDR compared to OLEDs either. When there are small specular highlights(1%-5% window), LCDs get very dim to prevent blooming while OLEDs get to peak brightness in this range.OLEDs cover your 90% scenario. Has non-existant backlight control artifacts (which itself was artificially introduced by LCD), Per pixel luminance control etc.
It will serve the last 10% (HDR) comparatively well compared to other existing LCDs. Anyone claiming to watch >10% HDR right now either has a special purpose TV for HDR and another tv for other needs or is just lying.
Arguably this 10% is going to increase in future and when it crossed 40-50% content being HDR, you will have cheap tvs with high HDR capability.
Catering to 10% is either early adopter or enthusiast domain. You are only going to find costly and arguably limiting technology here. When it becomes mainstream, manufacturers would have found time to iron out inconsistencies and better tvs will appear at lower prices profitting at volume sales. Its general economics.
