You\u2019ve finally decided to upgrade or buy a new Ultra HD TV.\u00a0 The picture quality of your old TV just doesn\u2019t cut it anymore. You want the beautiful image resolution the new televisions deliver. You\u2019ve narrowed down the screen size you want, and decided whether you\u2019ll go with a flat or curved TV screen. This is where you start to get confused.\u00a0 At this point, many people will begin to search for and compare OLED vs. 4K TV\u2019s. So, OLED TV\u2019s vs. 4K LED TVs: Which to Choose? They\u2019re really like comparing two completely different things. But did you know there are 4k OLED TVs?\u00a0 Also, there are 4K televisions that are not OLED. Here’s a look at each of them, and how to choose between them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Samsung 55\u201d-Class The Frame 4K UHD TV<\/strong><\/p>\n

OLED Meaning
\n<\/strong>What is an OLED TV? Contrary to popular belief, OLED TV isn\u2019t mutually exclusive from 4K or Ultra HD TV. In fact, you can actually have both at once. An OLED \u2013\u00a0 or, Organic Light-Emitting Diode \u2013 display is different from a regular LED display in that it utilizes an organic, carbon-based film. What this means is that an OLED TV can be much thinner than a regular LED TV, while producing a significantly richer picture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>4K Meaning
\n<\/strong>4K TV<\/a> has been the most-hyped advance in television technology over the last few years. 4K shouldn’t be confused with 3D, because it has nothing to do with images appearing to “stick out” from the screen. 4K refers to the number of horizontal display pixels on the screen. It provides about twice the resolution of the 1080p TV display. When watching very large 4K screens, or when sitting very close to smaller ones, the level of detail on a 4K picture is startlingly better than on the televisions you’re accustomed to. You’re basically unable to see the individual pixels on the screen no matter how close you get. That’s why the picture quality on a 4K LED TV<\/a> from Buydig.com is simply stunning.<\/p>\n

\nOLED TVs vs. 4K LED TVs: Which to Choose?
\n<\/strong>Here’s a comparison between 4k LED TV\u2019s vs. OLED TV\u2019s, so you can judge which of these exciting options is best for you.<\/p>\n

Picture Quality
\n<\/strong>Not only does a 4K TV offer a clearer and better picture, and is the best TV for close-up viewing \u2013 it\u2019s also quickly becoming the standard of the future. While not all watchable media is available in Ultra HD yet, 4K TVs are backwards compatible, meaning that you can still watch any standard HD show or movie on them. The resolution argument certainly favors 4K TV, since true 4K is close to the experience of watching a movie in a cinema. However, because 4K is still based on older LED technology, there are still some issues. These include such things as brightness differing between the middle and sides of the screen, and distortion when viewing the display from a sharp angle. The contrast issue clearly favors OLED because of the vibrant colors and blackest blacks it can deliver. It’s largely a matter of personal preference. But a simple way to look at the comparison of OLED vs. 4K LED TV\u2019s is that for large screens (50″-100″), 4K produces a sharper, better-looking picture. While the picture on a smaller screen (55″ or smaller) will look better with OLED. Most experts consider it a toss-up on a 55-inch screen.<\/p>\n

Screen Depth and Weight:<\/strong>
\nOLED wins by a mile. In fact, some OLED screens are the same depth as a pencil.<\/p>\n

Energy Efficiency:<\/strong>
\nThere’s no question, OLED wins here as well.<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong>
\nThere’s temporarily a small advantage for 4K vs. OLED here, since it’s been on the market longer. The difference should narrow, though, once OLEDs have been out for a while The best solution? The 55-inch 4K HDR OLEDs<\/a> from Buydig.com might be the best choice of all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSo if you\u2019re looking for a long-term investment 4K TV\u2019s may be your best bet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
