OLED may have been riding high as the top TV type for quite a few years now, but backlit TVs are making a comeback. The new tech on everyone's lips is Mini LED, with more and more manufacturers creating TVs that use it. Sony even chose it over OLED for its flagship 2024 TV, the Bravia 9. So what's so good about it?
Don't confuse Mini LED with MicroLED. Mini LED is an OLED rival for the here and now, while MicroLED is a very intricate – and currently very expensive – proposition that promises to one day be the gold standard of TV. But that day's a way off yet.
