Micro LED TVs have been rumoured to arrive within our homes since at least 2018 when Samsung unveiled The Wall – an enormous and expensive wall-sized micro LED TV, but what’s so special about micro LEDs, and are they better than OLED TVs? Some of the absolute best 65-inch TVs in the UK under £1000 are OLED TVs, they’ve been relatively affordable since 2021 and the popularisation of the 8K TV that still hasn’t made a major appearance in the UK just yet.
What’s an OLED TV?
OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode, which uses an organic material as a semiconductor material to produce light. These diodes don’t require a backlight to produce a picture, meaning their response times are much quicker, and the TVs themselves can be thinner.
But what’s the benefit of this? They’ve got ultra-low latency, brilliant contrast and beautifully crisp picture quality, all for a fairly decent price.

This LG C1 65-inch OLED is just one stunning example of just how fantastically affordable an OLED TV can truly be. With a 120 Hz refresh rate, LG’s α9 Gen4 AI processor that upscales images in real-time, and those gorgeous, deep OLED visuals, you can’t ask for a better television.
Film buffs, gamers and TV binge-watchers are all going to have an absolute blast with the LG C1, it’s got a little something for everyone. Of course, these are all useless if you have a very poor signal. There are a lot of reasons why a TV keeps losing its signal. In order to avoid this, try reading articles about this or try consulting expert individuals about this.
What’s a Micro LED TV?
Micro LED TVs, unlike OLED TVS, are made of inorganic materials, yet they still don’t need a backlight to work. The benefit of this is that organic diodes tend to degrade over time, whereas micro-LEDs can’t degrade or suffer from burn-in (where an image permanently lingers on the screen).
So where are these magnificent microLED TVs we’ve been waiting for? Well, we don’t quite have access to them yet.
Samsung announced the release of The Wall in 2018, which later launched in 2019 at a whopping £80,000. At 293-inches, this is one of the largest commercially available TVs ever made, is a full Micro-LED, and hits that 8K resolution sweet spot (I should hope so too, at that price.)
Conclusion: Will Micro LED rival OLED?
It’s a tough call to make in all honestly, the future of micro LED is fairly uncertain as of now, we don’t really have an affordable micro LED TV model to compare to a good old OLED TV, but we do know that micro LED TVs, when they’re more commercially available, are going to cost significantly more than an OLED TV.
While OLED TVs suffer from screen burn if you leave something on the TV for too long, and eventually degrade over time, with the money you’ve saved from not spending a fortune on a micro LED TV, you could easily replace the OLED (not that you’d want to).
If micro LED TVs happen to become cheaper (which is fairly inevitable), then OLED TVs simply wouldn’t be able to compete whatsoever.
