since the release of next gen consoles there's been a high demand for high quality tv displays
that complement these now current generation consoles once you're able to secure one of
either the playstation 5 or the xbox series x the next thing you'll probably be thinking
about is finding a tv powerful enough to match the power of either console there's certainly
lots of things to consider in a tv other than the type of display technology it uses but as
a gamer you might want to give more consideration to this part of the tv what's going on guys it's
midas here and in this video i'll be going over the best features of oled display technology that
make it the perfect high quality display for gaming on the ps5 xbox series x and other high
performance gaming consoles before we dive right into this video i'd like to give a shout out to lg
display for sponsoring this video most tvs you'll see around are labeled led which means they use
lcd displays tvs with this type of display are more commonly used due to how inexpensive they are
and the fact that they come in multiple sizes lg displays all that technology is newer
in comparison to lcds tvs with all that displays aren't as common as those with lcds
due to how expensive they are and the fact that they come with fewer size configurations
if you're looking for the perfect display type for gaming with your ps5 or xbox series x look
no further than lg displays oled lg display is the sole manufacturer of oled display technology
right now but i'm sure you've noticed some other brands making oled tvs these brands all get their
oled displays from lg display in this video i'll be pairing a tv with an lg oled display
with the ps5 to test certain games that help showcase the best features of an oled display
when it comes to gaming i'll also be testing a tv with an lcd display as a basis of comparison
to showcase the superiority of an oled display for gaming purposes these oled display features
might give you justification as to why you should consider getting an oled tv okay the first thing
i'll let you know is that oled stands for organic light emitting diode and the display is made up of
individual image elements called pixels composed of organic chemical compounds which emit light
when an electric current is applied between the anode and cathode of each pixel that probably
sounds like a bunch of mambo jumbo to some of you but don't worry we'll talk about it more oleds
are displays that do not require a backlight and soar thinner and more efficient than lcd displays
which do require a white backlight unlike the common lcd displays you tend to see around
all that displays are self-emissive as every pixel emits light and color individually controlling
themselves in a process called pixel dimming thanks to pixel dimming oled displays can realize
brighter or darker images with extreme accuracy resulting in superior picture quality this is
also why oled could offer perfect blacks which is considered the base for all other colors and can
therefore provide realistic and natural picture quality without any distortions oled displays
feature two extremely important attributes that i'm sure most gamers will appreciate the first
is low response times or fast response times and the second is low input lag some of you might not
understand what those attributes mean yet or might just confuse them let's talk about them
as well as some of the other amazing features of lg's oled display that make it the perfect fit for
gaming on evolving consoles first let's talk about the low response time of oled display technology
response time is the amount of time it takes a pixel to change from one color to the next think
of response time like this assuming you're playing a first person shooter game like call of duty
and decide to turn left into a tunnel your tv gets the information from your console
and needs to update the image you see to reflect the new graphics being loaded in lower or faster
response times are always better because they cut down on image issues like blurring or ghosting and
this is extremely important for gamers especially when playing first person shooter games like call
of duty or battlefield where you have to aim all over and the screen changes quite often and
quickly for a sense of comparison lcd displays go through a lot more layers leading to delays
and response time which isn't all that great for gaming they typically adjust the amount of light
through backlight color filters and liquid crystal molecules to create images these layers ultimately
lead to slow response times in contrast oled is self-emitting and lacks the extra layers that lcd
does and this allows you to create faster images for faster smoother gameplay oled currently offers
the fastest response time of any tv technology in use today in comparison to the conventional
lcd display which offers about 11 milliseconds in response time all that displays offer about 0.1
milliseconds which means the oled display color can change 100 times within the same one second
that an lcd display color can change only once all that is that display that can best express
game content that has fast dynamic movements with the most accuracy i'm talking about first person
shooter games like call of duty and battlefield as well as sports games like nba 2k 21 and car
racing games like rocket league the next gaming advantage that oled tvs offer is a low input lag
input lag is the amount of time it takes from the moment a video signal enters the tv say from
the hdmi to the final screen change basically the input lag determines the speed at which
the screen changes the shorter the time the better obviously the word input mostly refers to the user
an individual presses a key or clicks a button on the keyboard or controller and expects a
corresponding action on the screen the time needed to show you that action refers to the input lag
when you change the content on a tv screen the tv does not send and receive all signals
at once instead it receives signals line by line let's say a tv is set to 60 hertz refresh rate
it takes that tv one over 60 seconds to update the image on the screen from the top to the bottom as
opposed to being shown at once the same goes for 120 hertz refresh rate the input lag time is even
lower since it now takes only one over 120 seconds for the signal to display from top to bottom
when the input lag of lcd and oled displays are compared using the test and device and both tvs
with either display are set to the same refresh rate for accuracy say 60 hertz you'll find that
oleds have a lower input lag during two input lag tests conducted between both display types
the lcd had a 14.7 millisecond input lag when the response time of the display wasn't taken into
consideration while the oled had a 9.5 millisecond input lag so all that beats the lcd in this case
when response time was added to the mix the lcd had a 21.7 millisecond input lag while the oled
had a 9.8 millisecond input lag and both tvs used were set to 60 hertz refresh rate throughout the
tests from the results this clearly indicates that olad is the better display when it comes to input
lag response time affects the input lag of any display technology if the display technology has a
slower response time much like lcds the input lag will be slow as well in contrast if the display
technology has a faster response time like oled's the input lag will in turn be unaffected or faster
let's talk about how refresh rate and input lag are connected a lot of people do this but do not
confuse response time and input lag with refresh rate refresh rate is how many times per second
as screen or display can draw a new image the higher the refresh rate the smoother the screen
moves the refresh rate of a tv does not depend on the type of display it uses so consider this
value based on the tv and not whether it's oled or lcd the same oled display panels can be used on
two tvs with different maximum refresh rates for example a tv with a maximum of 60hz refresh rate
can have the same oled display panel as a tv with a maximum of 120 hertz refresh rate therefore the
refresh rate of a tv does not depend on whether it uses an lcd or an oled display the refresh
rate of a tv does affect the input lag value of the display the higher the refresh rate the lower
the input lag so basically the refresh rate and the response time affects the input lag the higher
the refresh rate the faster the response time the lower the input lag in the case of all that
displays there's already a low input lag and so a tv with an oled display and a high refresh rate
would be the ideal choice for you if you're going to be gaming a lot you want to opt for a tv that
has a maximum refresh rate at its highest resolution for example a tv that features up
to 120 hertz refresh rate at 4k resolution these kinds of tvs require at least one hdmi 2.1 input
to access anything beyond 4k at 60hz refresh rate so take note of that the ps5 and xbox series x
both allow you to play games at up to 120 frames per second at 4k resolution if you don't have a
tv that allows up to 120 hertz refresh rates at 4k resolution using an hdmi 2.1 connection then you
will only be able to play at up to 60 frames per second at 4k resolution or 120 frames per second
but at a downscaled resolution of 1080. the next feature of all that displays the highlight for
better gameplay is the perfect blacks the pure black with self-lighting pixels of oled produces
infinite contrast and perfect black without light leakage this might not make much sense to
you but basically perfect blacks in turn produce visually pleasing images and accurate colors if
your gaming setup is in a dark room or you just having the game often at nighttime then oled is
a fantastic choice for that purpose by turning off its pixels completely and producing perfect
blacks it delivers stunning picture quality in those dark lighting conditions if you set your tv
to standard or game mode the oled tv is going to express black mode and color gradation perfectly
so it's going to accurately provide colors so make sure you have your tv in one of these modes
while gaming local dimming doesn't work very well with the lcd's game mode since it does not provide
any mini led effect so the black mode is not as intense as say on the oled and color reproduction
is not as pristine unlike lcds oled can provide perfect black levels and lower input lags
at the same time so lcd tvs cannot do that so when you switch game mode on on an lcd tv it just turns
on local dimming with lcd's local dimming while it can make deeper blacks it could also increase your
input lag levels if you do decide to turn off local dimming or game mode on the lcd tv you're
going to reduce input lag but the black level goes bad again so you can't have both while working
with an lcd tv display but when working with an oled tv display you can get both good black levels
and good input lags while playing under game mode or standard mode another oled display feature that
i found to be great for gaming is the accurate color reproduction for both bright and dark
images i found that every color appears as they should even in some overly bright and dark parts
during gameplay all that features 100 pixel dimming and 100 color fidelity and this leads
to a high color accuracy now i don't know about you but when i game it's for long sessions most of
the time as far as eye comfort is concerned oled tvs are flicker free and feature low blue light as
well as less glare to boost eye comfort after long exposure oled tvs also offer superb viewing angles
you might not always play off-center but when you do find yourself in that scenario
everything still looks pristine with all that tvs from any angle far right left top and bottom
another feature worth mentioning as regards gaming is the cinematic sound oled panel csop for short
this isn't available on every single oled display lg display was the first in the world to develop
and produce cinematic sound oled a panel which uses large oled modules to vibrate the tv panel
and play sound so users can hear the sound directly from the screen
for a theater like experience this is a feature that i think a lot of gamers would appreciate
i personally believe oled display technology was made with gamers in mind the technology features
an insanely fast response time and very low input lag for effective synchronization between input
and output signals response time and input lag are extremely important values to watch for when
shopping for a gaming tv some of the best features of all that displays include better image quality
which means blacker blacks and brighter whites reduce power consumption
and much faster response time and that last point is what makes all that displays worth considering
if you're on the search for a solid gaming tv although oleds have a few cons too like they're
expensive to produce and so that means that they're also expensive for buyers to purchase but
they've definitely been getting a lot cheaper as time goes on they also tend to come in fewer sizes
but that's also changing as well the lifespan of an oled display is about 8 to 11 years of constant
use and i think that's a lot oleds also might not prevail in overly bright rooms where the sun hits
the screen directly hence why they're perfect for gaming since most people tend to game in
dark settings the combination of perfect blacks low response time low input lag accurate color
reproduction and other gaming features of oled displays make them undeniably the best to match
with the ps5 and other next generation consoles especially when compared to the conventional lcd
display remember that even with the same display technology the gaming performance of any tv
depends on how the final product turns out to find out more information about oled displays make sure
