Progress isn't always straightforward. While OLED panels brought many benefits to the table when they launched – including razor-thin TV sets and absolute black levels – they also have their share of downsides, one of which is a lack of brightness when compared with the brightest backlit TVs. That could leave us in the odd situation where a top-of-the-range OLED TV was often nowhere near as bright as an older, cheaper LCD TV.
But not anymore. OLED TVs have made great strides in this area of late, courtesy of two technologies: Micro Lens Array (MLA) and QD-OLED. They both make for stunningly bright pictures without compromising the TV's slim dimensions or black levels. But which is best?
