Value Electronics, an independent Audio/Video retailer in New York, hosted its well-respected annual TV Shootout Evaluation event a couple of days ago, bringing together several OLED and the new MicroLED RGB flagship TVs side-by-side to compare picture quality attributes. The TVs, which were professionally calibrated to their best potential, were reviewed by a panel of judges using test patterns.
The judges looked at six flagship displays. Three OLED models and three Micro-RGB LCD models (Samsung's R95H, Sony's XR90M2, and LG's MRGB95B). Judges evaluated picture quality attributes in SDR and HDR categories. Every display delivered outstanding performance, with exceptionally close results overall and across many of the individual picture quality attributes.
Samsung's QD-OLED S95H was crowned the "King of TVs", having received a score far higher than the other TVs. It is interesting to note that while in general OLED TVs seem to outperform microLED RGB TVs, the Sony's XF90M2 (the winner in the microLED RGB LCD TV category) outperformed LG's G6 in both SDR and HDR content, and even outperforms Sony XR80M2 QD-OLED for HDR. It seems that it is very much possible to achieve an excellent image quality utilizing microLED-backlit LCDs.
