In the fantastical realm of OLED TVs in 2024, it seems every brand has been throwing pixels like confetti at a tech parade. Among the headliners, the Samsung S95D has been turning heads with its new anti-glare mojo that apparently makes reflections run for the hills. Not to be outglared, LG’s latest, the C4, has cranked up the lumens to compete in this luminary slugfest, touting a dazzling 144Hz refresh rate that promises to make PC gamers drool uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Sony decided to zag while others zigged, ditching OLED for mini-LED on its new Bravia 9, which brags about a blinding 4,000 nits brightness ideal for underground bunkers. But for OLED purists, fear not! Sony’s still in the game with its Bravia 8 and the snazzy A95L QD-OLED. Meanwhile, whispers of a “panel lottery” at Samsung, where OLED TV buyers might end up with different types of panels, has caused the kind of drama you’d expect in a soap opera titled “The Bold and the Brightest.”
On the horizon, the Panasonic Z95A promises a beacon of brightness in the OLED clan, along with a built-in soundbar that could start a brawl among audiophiles. Not to be left in the shadows, Philips is also pushing out OLEDs that could outshine a supernova with 3,000 nits of luminance, while Loewe keeps it classy with premium design over potentially budget-busting specs. It’s like everyone’s overdosing on vitamin D for TVs.
**Hot Take**
After digesting the sizzling saga of 2024’s OLED offerings, can we just pause and appreciate how these TVs might soon need a sunscreen feature? From panels playing the lottery with specs to TVs brighter than my future, it’s clear that binge-watching has never looked so dangerously dazzling. Here’s hoping for a 42-inch model that can double as a tanning bed!
