I might be speaking as a old ignorant fool, but I feel like much of the features in the past 20 years of tvs were just marketing. Or maybe I’m no longer that interested in how many vibrant colors or frames a TV can do. I may go “wow” for the first ten minutes, but then it just fades into the background.
Comment on Whats the difference between cheap and expensive modern TVs?

Do we even need to pay attention to stuff like black level or color range anymore? I remember that being a big deal when HDTVs were newer, but now you can’t even find that information about new TVs.

My primary concern buying a TV would be UX. If the menu system is well thought out and they’re not spamming the user with advertising, it’s probably a good indicator that they’re investing in good hardware too.
Not that I wouldn’t totally geek out for weeks watching reviews and learning all the minutiae of light levels and color accuracy before pulling the trigger. The research is half the fun.

I sure do, although OLEDs pretty much have an infinite black level, and the color range is unparalleled to LCDs.

How do you pay attention to it when TVs no longer list it?

I always check rtings before I buy a TV.
