Whats the difference between cheap and expensive modern TVs? - eviltoast

I feel like it used to be size, color, and clarity meant more expensive. Now I look at a 500$ 4k TV and a 2000$ 4k TV and I don’t know what the difference is. They can both be smart TVs, be the same size, and have a lot of same advertised features, but what are the subtle unspoken mysteries that justify a huge price gap?

    We fell asleep with the Diablo 3 inventory screen open on our OLED and now it’s permanently burned in. Thankfully it is only noticable against yellow backgrounds. Other than that drawback, OLED screens are amazing. We have a 4k LCD screen in another room and it looks like trash compared to the OLED.

      Have you tried doing a pixel refresh? One night of a static screen shouldn’t cause burn in on any OLED panel.

        Yes, we went through all of the troubleshooting and possible fix steps, and then went through them again when we tried to file a warranty claim. Of course they claimed screen burn in isn’t covered by the warranty. There were multiple times that we walked away from that game with the inventory open. Never for more than a few hours, but I guess that plus the one night was enough. Thanks for the idea though!
