Yeah, I'm actually personally pretty excited about MiniLED. It's not "perfect" in terms of lighting like OLEDs or MicroLEDs are, but they also don't suffer from many of the downsides like burn-in. The fact that it's not as good as OLED on one performance metric doesn't mean it's smoke and mirrors, it's just a middle ground technology that makes different tradeoffs.

How are you interpreting these? Contrast, local-dimming, and black-level are all fairly poor compared to the the perfect scores received by OLED monitors. To be fair, MiniLED displays are significantly cheaper than OLED displays, but their performance isn't really comparable.

  Don’t forget LCD’s garbage response times. “MiniLED” screens smear a lot and lack the crisp smoothness of OLED’s 0.1ms response time

    You still have motion blur with OLED due to sample-and-hold. Techniques like backlight scanning or BFI are needed to achieve true motion clarity.

  Oh, I agree. $1,200 monitors are mostly better than $300 ones. A more interesting comparison here IMHO is with panels using the same technology, sold around the same price (IPS or VA) and lacking Mini-LEDs backlighting. Rtings seems to conclude that Mini-LEDs backlighting is far better than full panel back lighting. Hell, I'm using one right now (KTC M27T20, paid 330 euros) and it's just amazingly good... even if not as good as OLED. Also, right now, OLED also suffer from text fringing issues : https://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1682676702 https://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=...

    burn in as well no?

      Yeah, also, but to be fair, I've got a 6 years old OLED phone without any burn-in, and a 3 years old OLED laptop without any burn-in. So, I don't know, I guess unless you purposely display a static white element for hours every day for years, you won't live to see a burn-in on an OLED display.
