OLED vs. QLED TVs for Gaming: Everything You Need to Know Before Buying a New TV

With big budget games coming soon, many gamers are hoping to upgrade their TV screens to do justice to the horsepower provided by their gaming systems. Both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the leading current-generation consoles by Sony and Microsoft, offer support for variable refresh rate, or VRR, and most games support a native 4K resolution output. However, resolution and frame rate are one thing, and the technology behind TV panels is another.

Currently, QLED and OLED TVs are some of the best technologies you can find in a TV. Both have their own unique advantages and disadvantages, and making the right decision should ultimately be tailored to your specific needs. Simply put, your setup should govern your choices, even more so than any fancy marketing you can get.

OLED TVs cost more than QLED, but are they better?

OLED TVs are expensive but they offer a more premium and well-rounded experience which makes it a better technology than QLEDs. However, you should not blindly buy an OLED TV as it can not only ruin your experience, it can actually become a deal breaker for some people.

If these points apply to you, don’t buy OLED:

  • You are going to put your TV in an extremely bright room.
  • You leave the screen still for long periods of time as games cause HUD burn-in.
  • You need VRR and 120 Hz refresh rate from an entry level OLED TV (cheaper OLEDs usually don’t support VRR and 120 Hz).

OLED TVs use self-emitting pixels to form an image, so the deepest or perhaps truest black image is only possible with OLED technology, ergo, if that’s your priority, only invest in OLED TVs because the most expensive QLED TVs also exhibit backlight bleeding. , But yes, if you are buying a TV for a bright room, look at the model you are planning to buy individually, which is displayed in a bright room. OLEDs offer comparatively lower peak brightness than OLEDs, with most OLEDs peaking around 800-1000 nits. Some QLEDs, on the other hand, offer up to 2000 nits.

Do not buy a QLED TV if:

  • You want the fastest refresh rate and response time.
  • You want the deepest possible blacks.
  • You want an ultra-thin design and a more premium looking panel.
  • You want the most color-accurate performance possible.

Simply put, QLED is a new technology that is produced by adding an additional quantum dot layer to the front of the LED panel. There are no individual LEDs, so QLEDs use a backlight to produce the image. As a result, backlight bleeding and splotches affect QLED TVs. However, there are two distinct advantages that QLEDs hold over OLEDs and they are: no burn-in and brighter panels. If you constantly leave a still image on the screen, Game HUD can permanently damage your screen leaving traces of the image. While most OLEDs offer burn-in protection, the possibility is always there.

OLED vs. QLED TVs: Balance Is the Key

There’s no denying that QLEDs offer a more balanced experience of the two technologies, with ample blacks, quick enough refresh rates, and ultra-bright displays. If you can’t live with the backlight bleeding and you want the fastest possible refresh rate for gaming, then only OLED TVs make sense. If gaming is a priority and you can successfully manage burn-in while leaving a still image, investing in an OLED TV is the best option for most people in 2022.
