I mean sure HDR is impressive, but for me it's always like 3D movies.. nice for 5 minutes and then you see the flaws. Dimming zones are a really crappy way to get around the fundamental display tech limitation like you said. But OLED has insane problems with burn-in. They officially don't exist but there are endless reports of this happening. Although I can't speak with high confidence about that. In general the major problem with non-OLED displays are the black levels. Going for HDR was a silly PR move.

> I mean sure HDR is impressive, but for me it's always like 3D movies.. nice for 5 minutes and then you see the flaws I mean, it basically "just works" on OLEDs. I've watched thousands of hours of HDR content now and maybe 2-3 hours of it was poorly done and distracting. vs. 3D, which I can never sit through at home. (Though, I don't mind well done 3D in the theater) >But OLED has insane problems with burn-in. They officially don't exist but there are endless reports of this happening. Although I can't speak with high confidence about that. I've got two OLED TVs, one four years old, the other two. Neither have had any noticeable burn in, though the older one does sometimes have temporary image retention if I've an extended amount of time playing a game, or watching a channel with a static logo, etc. I am not one of those people that sits there with MSNBC or CNN or Fox or whatever on all day every day with the logo in the same place, though. My OLED usage goes Movies > TV shows > Twitch > Youtube > everything else. Until a better tech comes out, I'm all in for OLED, even for computer monitors. You won't see me purchase another standalone LCD screen for anything that I'll be caring about picture quality on.

  Ultimately what we really need is micro-led. But that seems to be difficult.
