This is a mini LED, not the regular QLED. In a bright room it will surpass OLED and in a dark room will get close to OLED.

Quote from FMXP :
Mini-LED is closest that LCD has ever come. The gap has narrowed to the point where you basically only buy an OLED TV if you were the same market that bought plasmas because the only thing you ever do with your TV is watch movies. If you watch regular TV or play video games, it's not worth risking the burn-in when "Neo QLED" (Mini-LED) is 95% of the way there on picture quality with 0% of the burn-in.
You have objective evidence, or are you just spouting out BS? Rhetorical question.

Yes, these neo QLEDs are a dramatic step in the right direction. No, they're not a true OLED replacement and you don't get perfect blacks nor do you get the near-perfect off-angle viewing of an OLED.

Give it another two generations and I'll call it a true OLED replacement. It'll be a true OLED replacement when there are effectively no downsides to buying micro-LED over OLED.

Why would they only put 1 HDMI 2.1 port on their flagship TV? I'm debating between the LG CX 48" for $1250 or the QN90A 50" for $1180... I think the OLED wins though just because I have multiple gaming systems to plug in
yea it seriously pisses me off. i'm paying nearly OLED prices, give me 2 HDMI 2.1 ports and give me dolby vision.... i'd buy it INSTANTLY if that were the case.

Quote from hinewsguy :
OP should mention the samsung discount program also includes first responders ("medical professionals," paramedics, police, firefighters), military (including veterans), and government workers (all levels, county to state to federal), so it really opens the door to a bigger class of folks eligible for this nice deal. Just gotta take a few minutes to get verified through that id thing. The discount was only $200 the other day for the 85", so an additional $400 to make it $600 off the already on sale price of $3999.99 is pretty slick. probably wont see it any cheaper until black friday.

2% cashback off TVs too through a certain site. not sure about the rate on others.
I'm a first responder and found this discount seeing as I didn't qualifying for the other two. If I didn't look into it myself I would've missed it!

Don't listen to this TV expert. Not that I don't like or hate OLED tech. But each one has its advantages and disadvantages. You can just tell one is better than the other in terms of performance and picture quality. I will give you a few examples. Qled doesn't suffer from burn-in issues, it's great for bright rooms and it has better color volume. Better contrast ratio and darkroom performance go to OLED. Please note, I am not comparing LG to Samsung here. I am simply comparing QLED to OLED. And one more thing, price. Equivalent OLED TV won't be $3,5k. We are talking $6k or more currently.

I would personally go with 77" OLED for my apartment, especially with LG. You do get great value, it's future-proof ( Dolby Vision, more HDMI 2.1 ports ) and great software support!

yeah but i'm in the market for a smaller TV

48-50": QN90A = $1500 MSRP ($1190 w/ this deal) VS CX/C1 = $1500 MSRP (can be found at $1250-1400 atm)

55": QN90A = $1800 MSRP ($1350 w/ this deal) VS CX/C1 = $1500-1800 MSRP (can be found at $1350-1600 atm)

Your gaming systems will work completely fine on Hdmi 2.0b and as a matter of fact all of the ports are Hdmi 2.1 as this has been proven. Only issue is the other 3 cannot do hdr at 120Hz and it's in 8bit.

Very few games if any support Hdmi 2.1, especially if playing on a console…….

4K 60fps is the target and even the new Ratchet And Clank performance mode with Ray tracing is only 1080p……

Is qled anywhere close to oled quality… was considering this or lg 77" oled
Actually, this is pretty close, but OLED will always be slightly better.

This technology really closes the gap though.

Great deal. Used my first responder discount and $200 amex platinum credit. With 2% CB and Samsung rewards, deal even sweeter. Even splurged on the $120 professional mounting option... on a TV this big I don't want to have to do that myself.
