This is more of a /g/ thread than a Yea Forums thread but I feel like it has some Yea Forums undertones and it would get a much bigger result here.
In any case OLED TVs are by most considered to be the apex of image quality, mostly because of the insane color range their panels have compared to the more common LED panels, and that's because the way OLED TVs work is that they have individual pixels behind their panels which are either lighten up or completely shut down depending on the image. So the blacks appear VERY black, as if the TV is just off, while the bright tones are very bright. This is the biggest reason why this technology is so widely appreciated by many.
However it's not... that great when you look at it in a certain way. The technology suffers from the well known "burn-in" issue, which burns in part of the image in the display when it's turned on for long time. And this time is also cumulative. Very common burn-in examples are retentions of channel logos and videogame HUDs, for example.
But despite this issue being very crucial and important to consider when buying a new OLED TV (arguably the biggest reason to NOT buy one) that's not the issue I'm talking about.
Remember the part where I said that all these pixels can be individually turned off so that they can produce deep blacks? Well, let's say that these blacks can be VERY black. Unnecessarely black. Like you see an almost-black scene that has some kind of detail into it and the OLED makes these shadows look completely black, hiding these details in the process. Also content isn't exactly "tuned" for OLED TVs, but rather for LCD/LED TVs, and they behave by considering the latter in mind rather than the former. What happens is that, while OLED TVs are technically superior on paper, they lose some kind of image accuracy that is crucial for a HD panel.

Sounds like those "photorealistic" GTA4 mods

Nobody cares about blacks
OLED is the future. Op is mad because he can't afford the best.
racist
Burn-in is and should be a concern to gamers. Fuck OLED, I'll never touch it due to that simple annoyance.
>t. plasma owning retard
The picture is absolutely amazing but the burns never heal.

Not true. OLED has lowest input lag and highest color gamut. Two of the most important things for gamers. Go spread your propaganda somewhere else poorfag.
I don't have an OLED TV. I'm not sure if the tech is the same as OLEDs on phones but all of my Samsung displays tend to turn piss yellow over time. Also burn in.
Good thing OLED isn't plasma. Just because you can't afford it doesn't mean other people shouldn't be able to enjoy it's superior picture.
