If I can find the educational 'patented' synopsis and research documentation, I will - but there is a university/college somewhere that has found a way to produce a new form/variant of the Plasma Display technology. And it's f'ing amazing.
I just can't remember the name of University, other than it was N.America somewhere...

They dont have to be close to OLED. OLED is terrible for gaming, also i dont like the HDR on OLED peak nits are to low.
If samsung can improve Q-LED then go ahead love the tech 🙂

what makes oled bad for gaming?
I have only an oled TV and i m using it with a playstation 4.
The experience is new for me and so far looks beautifull for general purpose gaming at 60hz.
What is the terrible part you refer to?

Lol, so it took Samsung more than 3y, to do what sony already has on the market (Z9).

I got a panasonic gz950e 65 inch on suggestion of a friend that loves cinema.
I thought it would be super good for movies and color fidelty and it is.
My experience is that games are super bright but not saturated. Black is black, i cannot see the difference from turned off tv to turned on black. When ps4 decides that there is some hdr content in games ( true or fake ) the brightness is higher and the whites are up to annoying my eyes.
All in all i think is very good.
I'm worried of burnin too, but i also decided that i will just use it and if i get burn in, i will learn my lesson.

Technically there is no burn in (unless its plasma), but image retention (oled degrade differently for each color).
As long as you dont have static stuff like HUD and the like, you should be fine.

I have had an E6 LG OLED since they first came out and an C7 which is just over a year and a bit old. I game extensively on it and it has absolutely no signs of image retention. I even ran the Samsung program and it shows 0% retention. I believe that whilst yes you can get it, it has been blown right out of proportion. Gaming on an OLED is simply sublime. I would love me one of those C9's so I can run 120hz 4K VRR. Now that's gaming heaven right there.

ACES is Unreal Engine) and who 'bothered' the game developer was or is for that particular game. Let's say the game is genuine UHD4K, and has úber levels of competance on the HDR, then yeah, you might win that round on a technicality. My input lag is 24ms and I can play Tekken7 just fine online, and most of my teevee gaming is really just 3rd person adventure games. Subjectively, I cannot feel any input lag, and the figure of 24ms of from a recent calibration from the manufacturer that I paid for privately, just to give it a Plasma service, you might say. Others have never complained about the input lag, either. I use official controllers on my PS4 Pr0...it would be an interesting side by side comparision, but my blacks are better and plasma is just...godlike. The experience might be felt by some, but I do not think there would a winner, except on resolution,,,when the developer actually gives you UHD4K, of course.
2: Samsung offer a 10 year guarantee/warranty (direct) and that includes screen burn. That's a fact. On their QLED range. Main page.
3: see (1)
4: Any expenditure on money show come with reading reviews (Hi Hilbert!) and doing basic research and experimentation, like I did for week. Input lag is clearly avaliable information, but you always have to look for it, just as you have to look for input lag on OLED, which does exist.
5: Not all have that, and there are reasons why, some of those reasons are because of the HDMI spec 2.0b being prevelant much more than the necessity of content to push 2.1. Not everyone has caught up, in simple terms, from producers of soundbars, to movie studios adopting correctly adjusted HDR. It's happening now, and this is just a transient thing as we all know, and certainly nothing to do with the panel technology, just the connections, and, demand for more than 2.0b.
6: It is still organic matter. That degrades. That forces ALL manufacturers of OLED (which LG own the patent to, btw) to not allow for any warranty claims because of image retention/screen burn. They all use the LG panels. They all have the same problem. Geddit? The day they solve that problem, is the day it is never mentioned ever again - but it is real and the manufacturers not only do not allow warranty claims because of it, they also have rules for using the television restricting it's usage, like: usage time, resolution, widescreen/digital zoom, content type and duration. If you do not do what they tell you to do, you WILL get problems with the image.
7: Incorrect - ask the manufacturer directly, by either reading the manual, or telephoning them to confirm what it says in the manual...that simple.
8: They might be able to push the evenlope to magical levels - but there is not one person here on these forums that would buy a 2nd-hand OLED - especially if it is used by one of us!
Yah, I can't recall which scientific journal it was in...still looking.
I had a Panasonic OLED for less than a week and sent it back, and I'm using that short period of time to partially respond, but I am also going to use the information provided by the manufacturers of the televisions themselves.
1: Input lag or image? Because my Plasma will beat both, just not in resolution or HDR, and in games they may or may not be important, guess it depends on what kind of HDR (there are many types,

I just cannot stand lies. OLEDs is the new but sensitive plasma TVs. You couldn't beat gaming in those, neither you can beat oleds now. Qled is for those in need to keep the same TV for over a decade, each to his own.
Even my old parents could see the difference between the two panels. You can't go wrong with perfect black and contrast. Brighter white, is not able to save the day.
By the end of day, to my eyes, image clarity, sharpness and uniformity beats brightness peak. Who cares for absolute light if you cannot distinguish details anyway?
Qled is overrated. They should prepare their "microled".
