Picture Quality Evaluation
If someone asks you about which picture quality is better, OLED technology or LED/LCD TV, they you can tell him it is definitely OLED technology because of the difference in contrast.
Twisting crystals are not present in the OLED Televisions compared with LCD and LED TVs which do contain these crystals. The OLED technology uses organic carbon based compounds which emits red, green and blue lights after receiving electric signals while the above mentioned crystals produce color information by the way light goes through them and change into incredible speeds. This technology is different from LCD Televisions having twisting crystals because it resembles more with plasma TV phosphorus.
The picture quality in LCD TVs is affected because the backlight is utilized to illuminate the pictures and because of that it is not flexible in producing scenes which are really dark or black. Furthermore, in LCD TVs there is always a flowthrough process from the backlight and the manufacturers always try to fill this gap by attaining deep black levels via many ways but they cannot achieve the performance as OLED TVs deliver. In order to show the almost perfect black colors the OLED TVs completely cut off the individual pixel’s power supply. The contrast ratio even in small portions of the screen is very large because of new 4K OLED TVs having above 8 million pixels. The colors look more vivid and realistic if they are proper calibration is done in these OLED TVs. The OLED TVs excels in delivering high contrast, black and other colors presentation while the LCD TVs having LED Backlit technology are superior in brightness, achieving peak whites and amazing video processing capabilities. We rate overall picture quality 98 out of hundred.

The Views from Side Angle
Side Angle viewing in LED backlit TVs is not good, but in OLED TVs this problem is completely solved as side angle views are really amazing in these TVs.
