Detailed opinion.
I am only talking picture quality here. If you care about audio, consider a sound bar for bedroom and a AV receiver with sub woofer, center, left and right
for better audio and add 2 more rear speakers to receive the 5.1 audio available on many TV and DVDs, Bluray as well. 7.1 audio is for audiophiles and there is very little 7.1 content available. And yes, there is 9.1 too.
If you are looking for a budget TV under 500, see my other blog.
If you want to spend under $2000 and like to watch your own or YouTube 4k video and photos in highest resolution and best picture quality, you surely want good color spectrum and high contrast.
First of all what is the difference between LCD, LED and OLED TV?
LCD and LED are both back light Liquid crystal displays which require back lighting to brighten the picture where there is brightness and no back lighting where there is darkness. LCD was backlit with compact fluoroscent (CF) light. LED was backlit with LEDs. Now there is hardly any CFL backlit just CFL bulbs are gone and LED bulbs replaced them.
The very first generation LCD TV had a single backlight and later they started adding multiple zones to better control the contrast.
The E series mentioned here has 14 Active LED Zones.
The M series mentioned here has 32 Zones.
The P series mentioned here has 128 zones and true 120Hz refresh rate for less motion blur.
The OLED has no backlight requirement. Each pixel is either lit or not light.
Effectively 8.3 Million "zones".
So, the contrast is the best. Note that the picture may not be as bright though but this will change as technology improves just as the LED bulbs got brighter with improvement in technology.
There is another aspect to picture quality which scales 480p, 720p, 1080p to to 4K. If money is no object Sony is known to have the best video scaling and video image processing engines. Go do some home work!
