Oled TV picture quality

[willyburns]

I've paid a huge amount of money for a 4k oled TV and I've noticed that the blacks are more grey in normal light conditions and when in low light the picture just isn't what I was expecting from an oled - when anything fades to black or there is a large area of black on an image I notice that there are extremely black semicircles at the edges while the middle portion of the screen is a washed out grey that is not uniform in colour. Does anyone know if this is normal? I sent my LCD 4k back because of washed out blacks and blotchy backlighting but that TV cost me a quarter of the price of the oled, so I'll try and get a refund is this is what to expect for that kind of money.

Oled typically has the best black levels of any display type so my guess is it's bad.

You are getting the same results with two different display technologies.
One which is known for the blackest blacks.
Consider the source that is driving the display. Anything in the path to the display like cables, switches, players or receivers, regardless of how much they cost.
Try switching ports or connecting directly to the display.
You also can try different setting on the display itself.

what are you doing to set up / calibrate your display. What are the actual settings that you are using. What content are you displaying with what device. Without any details, it appears to be more of a setup issue.

Sounds like a defect to me.

Where I live, they aren't selling OLED due to the short lifespan, so I would just be guessing when it comes to defects. The reason I think it's a defect is because OLED "pixels" turn off when displaying black, so no halo's or anything should be visible, though sharpening artefacts and things like that is a possibility.


All the best!
