Best OLED TV in 2019

Almost each TV sold today is based on LCD technology. You will probably be surprised to hear but LED, SUHD, QLED are all in fact LCD TV. OLED displays however runs on different technology. OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) is an advanced display technology. It is made from thin films of light emitting carbon based organic materials.

The most basic difference between OLED and LCD TV is, in OLED technology each pixel provides its own illumination. On the other hand, all the pixels in an LCD TV are illuminated using an LED backlight.

Unlike LCD displays, OLED displays do not require a backlight and filters. This makes it more efficient and easier to make and much slimmer. That is why OLED screens are flexible and even roll able.

OLED displays have excellent picture quality, lively colour and infinite contrast. The FPS rate and viewing angle is much better than LCD. These is why OLED displays are now considered next big thing in the display technology.

LG OLED C8 series

The previous C-series TV released by LG had a modest central pedestal but compared to that LG C8 OLED a bit flashier. The metal slab at the bottom part of the TV is relatively longer and curves forward. This curved metal slab has been designed to aid the sound quality.

We love the new look. The central pedestals have made the TV more stable than previous versions. However, you will need a slightly wider table or TV cabinet for the TV.

The TV is powered by Alpha 9 chips (just like all other 2018 OLED TV released by LG). This chip works exceptionally well at noise reduction, sharpness and handling of colours. The TV has 4 HDMI ports, all of them support 4K and HDR input. Compared to Sony AF8 OLED, the LG C8 OLED does not use big plastic panels in order to keep cables out of view.

Like all other OLED TVs, the LG C8 also features pixel level luminance, which means each pixel can turn on and off individually. This allows the TV to be exceptionally precise in lighting.
Let’s talk about brightness. This is one area where many OLED TV usually struggle. However, in case of LG C8, the brightness looks fine.

Pros
Cons
  • The TV has Excellent upscaling.
  • Low input lag.
  • Sharp picture.
  • Display Looks better in dark room.
  • Motion could be better.

Sony Bravia AF9 OLED

Announced in July 2018, Sony’s AF9 OLED TV has an impressive entry into the market. All though it was a delayed entry, the TV is surely worth waiting for.

When you turn on the TV, it becomes apparent that Sony has finally mastered on OLED TV manufacturing. On this TV, you will be able to enjoy a true movie watching experience without having to break the bank.

Like many other OLED TV manufactures, Sony AF9 also uses the latest 2018 WRGB OLED panel from LG. However, it features Sony’s latest top-end X1 ultimate video processor and pixel Contrast Booster technology for achieving colour saturation at maximum brightness levels.

Sony has not changed its design since last years A1 OLED. The AF9 tilts back by around 5 degrees. The structure is supported by a sturdy stand. This also houses many electronic components, connectors, sub woofers etc. So, not a lot of wires outside. Which we really liked.

Pros
Cons
  • Outstanding sound quality for a TV.
  • Class-leading upscaling, motion.
  • Dolby Vision looks too dark.
  • Tilt-back design divides opinion.

Bang & Olufsen Eclipse

It is normally difficult to find a TV with great sound quality. If you wish to experience good sound, then normally you would need to purchase additional quality surround sound system and speakers. However, Bang & Olufsen Beovision Eclipse is an exception to that. This OLED TV comes with a powerful 450-watt speaker which produces great quality sound.

The BeoVision Eclipse TV has been designed to perfection. It is such a work of art. No matter how your decoration is, the TV will fit right at home. The TV is available in 55 inch and 65-inch variations. It comes with a wall mount by default. However, it does not come with any floor stand. You will need to purchase that separately if required. The floor stand is motorised, so you can rotate the TV to any direction you want.

B&O BeoVision Eclipse has excellent support for HD content. That is thanks to its LG OLED display which aids the TV to perform far better than its LCD counterparts. If money is an issue, then forget B&O BeoVision Eclipse as it is rather expensive.

Pros
Cons
  • Excellent image.
  • Beautiful design.
  • Very expensive.
  • Unintuitive remote.
