Samsung QLED, LG OLED, Sony, and more
It’s hard to argue picture quality when it comes to OLEDs. Powered by individual sub-pixels as opposed to a backlit crystal panel, the emissive display technology of the OLED is superior to any TV on the market, whether you’re using it for gaming or to screen your favorite movie. The B8 produces perfect, deep inky blacks, ideal for when you’re playing in a dark room, and also features excellent brightness levels and a wide color range for vivid highlights. Although there is a risk for permanent burn-in with static images on this TV, it’s fairly slight, so we don’t think it’s worth worrying about all that much..
The B8 runs on LG’s Web OS system, and comes with a motion control remote feature that’s ideal for scrolling through apps. It supports both types of HDR video and features a huge selection of connections, including four HDMI inputs, three USB ports, and more. And although the B8 doesn’t come cheap, the B series is one of the more affordable of the OLED options, and we feel it’s well worth the investment considering the outstanding quality.
Amazon reviewer writes:
“Had this TV delivered today and set it up with my existing sound system and game consoles. Afterward, I started playing Forza Horizon 4 in 4K with improved colors, with a couple of parrots sitting on a fake tree behind me… A race against a hovercraft started with a cutscene of the player’s car driving toward the camera. This was realistic enough that the birds got scared and took flight. They’d never been scared of anything displayed on my previous television.
So, the display is gorgeous but I’m going to have to be careful not to stress out the birds with it.
[The ] Picture Quality is 5/5. This is a wonderful display, but it needs a bit of tweaking first. I had to switch it into Game Mode for all of my consoles, which is normal. The Switch was overscanning a little bit so the Just Scan feature needed to be turned on. The screen is also extremely dim in some scenarios unless you tweak the energy saver settings (turn them off entirely if you don’t mind blinding yourself).”
