The Hisense Dual-Cell LED TV Challenges OLED Image Quality
May 17, 2021 *
These days, TV experts generally suggest buying an OLED TV for the best image quality. A new kind of TV tech called dual-cell LED might challenge that traditionally good advice. Right now, only Hisense offers this new TV tech. Anybody in the market for a premium TV might want to compare new Hisense models against OLED TVs before deciding which one to buy.
How Well Does Hisense Dual-Cell LED TV Compare Against Competition?
What is a dual-cell LED? Hisense added a second layer of LED modules behind the first one to produce its dual-cell LED. According to CNET, this improved the most critical aspects of image quality, including contrast and black levels. The set retails for about $3,500, so its price compares to top-rated OLED sets. Naturally, anybody with the budget to buy a flagship TV will want to know how well dual-cell LED compares to a high-quality OLED.
TechRadar got a chance to review the Hisense 65SX with dual-cell LED. They praised the image quality for appearing very close to OLED for its black levels, colors, and overall image quality. They even said the sound quality surpassed most TV sets. The TV comes with an external wireless subwoofer that users can place anywhere in the room. The TV also provides Amazon Alexa functionality, accessible by voice commands through the remote or another Alexa device.
On the negative side, reviewers experienced image scrambling on occasion. Also, the OS lacks some common apps. Examples include Apple TV and Disney Plus. Still, the reviewers rated their overall experience as comparable to other premium TV sets in a similar price range. Perhaps most disappointing, the TV lacks HDMI 2.1, which means users won’t have some functionality for playing games and other apps.
Why High-End TVs Need an Extended Warranty
Hisense proved that consumers will have other options to OLED for excellent picture quality and premium features. If a flagship TV offers OLED, dual-cell LED, and other emerging TV tech, it represents a large investment in the newest and most advanced capabilities. Anybody who spends $1,000, $2,000, or even over $3,000 on a new set wants to make certain that they can enjoy good performance for years.
Just as with other new technology, the very complexity of these devices makes them vulnerable to problems. As a result, it can be difficult to find qualified repair services for them. People tend to keep TVs for several years, and even more, most families use them daily.
An affordable, robust extended warranty can save money with just one repair. Even better, the right warranty company will make it easy for their customers to easily access professional, qualified repair technicians.
