Wide disparity expanding between large and compact OLED TVs, contrary to popular belief
In the heart of the author's living room, a 48-inch LG C2 OLED TV graces the space, offering a captivating home cinema experience. This year, the author found himself reviewing multiple small OLED TVs, including the 48-inch Panasonic Z90B, 48-inch Samsung S90F, and 48-inch LG C5. However, compared to previous years, the experience was less engaging.
While companies like Samsung and Sony offer flagship OLED TVs in 42- or 48-inch sizes, such as the S90F and Bravia 8 II respectively, LG stands out as the only manufacturer this year to include smaller sizes in its flagship family, with the LG G5.
The author did not mention any specific issues with the recently reviewed small OLED TVs or any advertisements in this context. Instead, the author suggests that companies should take more time to think about ways to improve next year's models, or urges buyers who have invested in a 42- or 48-inch OLED TV in the past three or four years not to bother upgrading.
One trend the author has ranted about is the increasing peak brightness in TVs, which can cause distracting leaps in brightness and loss of detail during certain test scenes. Despite this, OLED TVs, even in smaller sizes, typically boast feature-rich specifications, making them a premium option in the home cinema market.
Movie aficionados and gamers are common buyers of small OLED TVs due to their high picture quality and added features. However, the performance gap between smaller and larger OLEDs is widening, making them less and less interesting.
Looking ahead, next year is set to see the first wave of RGB Mini LED TVs launch, promising to be among the first to feature Dolby Vision 2 support. Meanwhile, Samsung's QD-OLED technology is improving at an astonishing rate, as evidenced by the stellar performance of the Sony Bravia 8 II and Samsung S95F.
As for the author, he is currently working on a review for the 42-inch LG C5 OLED TV, hoping to uncover new developments and improvements that could make small OLED TVs more enticing once again.
