People are buying older TVs for "the glow". It's like the record player craze a few years ago. Is it nostalgia or some kind of pathology to bring back older technology - Kotaku In Action 2

I think I’ll only feel safe buying an OLED when the doctors give me like six months to live lol

I'd heard some good things about Quantum Dot QLED, and from what I've read there's actually not a lot of drawbacks. Some potential VRR flicker and stuff, no ghosting or smearing issues. But apparently there's a purple hue issue that can occur when viewed in a brightly lit room... bah.

Assuming the purple hue is pretty bearable it might be a much bigger step up over OLED.
