Brighter TVs, Local Dimming, and the Future of Mini LED

It's not about hurting your eyes. It's about seeing more detail.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Brightness

• HDR pictures look better on brighter TVs.
• Local dimming adjusts brightness in different areas.
• Bright parts shine.
• Dark parts stay dark.
• More dimming zones mean better control over contrast.
• But it's not just about the number of zones.
• It's about how well the TV uses them.

Color and Ambient Light

• Some TVs come with colors that look washed out.
• This can happen if the TV is set to Filmmaker mode.
• Shows colors as the creator intended.
• Might not be as punchy.
• If you're watching TV in a bright room, ambient light can also wash out the picture.
• Try adjusting Theater Day and Theater Night modes.
• Make small changes to find what looks best to you.

The Future of TVs

• Mini LED and RGB LED TVs are the future.
• LG, Samsung, and Sony are leading the way.
• The LG C6H looks promising.
• Sony's Bravia 9 is already impressive.
• Other brands like Hisense and TCL are also worth watching.
• Dolby Vision 2 is coming.
• Promises to fix the darkness issue of Dolby Vision 1.
• But it might mean buying a new TV.

Viewing Conditions Matter

• A dark room and a good TV make a big difference.
