Buy a used late model Panasonic Plasma instead .Plasma TVs just like OLED use self-illuminating pixels. Each pixel is like a miniature little light bulb. Plasma TVs are similar to incandescent bulbs in that each pixel is gas-filled whereas OLED are like miniature LED bulbs.
Many AV enthusiasts still prefer plasma over OLED because it has a more natural picture quality with very rich colors . Imagine the difference between a living room with a old school incandescent bulb and or a LED bulb. They each put out a unique feeling light with much different characteristics.
LCD/LED sets are backlit which basically means there is a big light which shines through all the pixels at time. This technology sucks compared to both plasma and OLED. LCD are capable of higher light output but that is the only advantage.
Plasma and OLED will have better color accuracy, far better black level ( most important aspect of any television) , much better motion handling and better contrast. A late model mid to high end plasma TV will outperform the best 4k LCD set by a large margin.
You can find these used plasma sets for sale on Craigslist for a $100 to $300 and they will give you picture quality nearly as good as a $2000 4k OLED. 90% of content is still in 1080p and will be for many years.
Content always looks best displayed at its native resolution so virtually everything you are watching will look better on a 1080p screen than it will on a 4K screen. When 1080p content is displayed on a 4k screen it must be up scaled to 4k. This is why so much content looks terrible on these cheap new 4k sets, most of them do not upscale very well.
Don't buy a garbage cheap 4k LCD, buy a used high end Panasonic plasma. It will destroy any sub $1000 LCD/LED. 😜
- also another big bonus which someone just pointed out is your TV won't be spying on you.
