Along with pure pictures quality, test out the software that drives the TV. It's the interface you will.use everyday and if it's slow or difficult then you will hate the TV, regardless of image quality. For me, I like the android TV implementation on my Sony 4k led TV... It's a 2019 model but still good.
As for led or oled. Do you watch during the day? Is the TV on for many hours a day? If yes, go for LED with full array dimming (for decent black levels) .
If you only watch movies at night, then oled.

Anyone 'UP' on tv tech?
Ours is coming up 10 years old, works fine, but was never a fancy TV in the first place (mid tier Samsung 42" LCD/not LED backlit fluro I guess, does blacks about as well as a sheet of white paper at this stage).
Think it might be time to jump directly into OLED, LG A1 @ 48" and £700 seems very tempting, doesn't have 'latest' frequency and sync for higher end gaming, need the LG C1 for that at around £300 more for same size. Then the age old, do you get 2021.5 up to date tech in the current A1/B1/C1 platform, or go back to 2019 and get a higher one (C9/G?) thats reduced because its deemed older, but not too old?
Figured OLED's main drawback was power consumption, heat, burn in (can't think of anything we'd use it for that would cause that) and not super bright, only around 350-500 nits. Any other drawbacks, or is now a good time to go OLED?
