Having a Neo-QLED myself, the brightness is definitely a plus - still a bit dimmer than I'd like with daylight, but certainly better than having, you know, half the brightness with an regular OLED... The main downside I can note is that the dimming zones are way too large - especially noticeable with local dimming set to High, and credits scrolling. Not noticeable for normal content though. Mini-LED backlight would have made it indistinguishable from most OLEDs in anything but the darkest of cinema rooms...

I think all Neo-QLED TVs are mini-LED - something like 1000 dimming zones?

  IIRC, 500-750-ish. Good mini-LED are in the several thousands.

What generation do you have? 2022 or 2023? Dimming zones get smaller each generation. Neo-QLED branding startet 2022?

  2021, QN95A75QE, an impulse-buy while they were massively discounted some time before the 2022 release. Mine has some ~700-ish dimming zones IIRC. Moving bright content on dark background reveals the dimming zone resolution as the zones chase the content - credits is the main thing that comes to mind, where the text brightness fluctuates as it transitions zones. A circular loading indicator can also trip this, but the TV recognizes it after a rotation and then evenly illuminates the path. Turning down the dimming from max would likely help, but some may be surprised to hear that credits are not my main content priority. The brightness is great for my bright living room though, and worlds apart from the OLED sets I've seen in similar settings. As an aside, super happy I got the 2021 - a friend got the S95B, and the newer Tizen UI is way more intrusive and more ad-filled.
