The OLED65B26LA is a 65 inch 4K TV from LG, launched in the year 2022. It comes with a True 10-bit OLED panel. It can achieve a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 @ 120 Hz with a pixel density of 68 ppi.
Picture Quality
Now, the next important spec of a display that impacts picture quality is Color Gamut.
LG did not provide a color gamut specification for this TV. So we have to take a guess.As it features an OLED panel, there is no need to worry about color accuracy. Any OLED panel will always come with over 100% sRGB coverage.
Understanding the Color Gamut Specification
Color gamut specification of a TV is the measurement of the range of colors that the display can produce.
A panel with poor color reproduction will produce washed out colors that will spoil your immersive experience.
It is specified in different units - sRGB,sRGB (standard RGB), NTSC 1953, DCI P3 Adobe RGB, rec.2020.
But don't worry, below is a chart that you can use to choose a TV with good color accuracy.
Next in the list of important specifications is Static Contrast.
The importance of static contrast ratio
Static contrast ratio of a TV corresponds to its Black levels. A Display with low static contrast ratio (<1000:1) will not produce deep blacks. Apart from this, such TVs may suffer from backlight bleeds such as this:
The image is an example of another display, it is not this oneClearly this will rob your experience, especially in a dark room.
Also, static contrast ratio and resolution go hand in hand when it comes to details. To put it into perspective, a TV with low contrast ratio will produce less shades of colors, so lesser detail overall.
If given a choice, always prefer a FHD TV with high contrast ratio over a 4K TV with low contrast ratio.
Given this TV comes with an OLED panel, its static constrast would be Infinity : 1. So no need to worry about this at all.
HDR is also supported on this TV in form of HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma), Dolby Vision, Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10 Pro.
Coming to brightness, it is can achieve a maximum luminance of 250 nits.
Gaming Performance
If you are planning to use your TV just for content consumption, you can ignore these specifications. But if you are also planning to use the TV for gaming or use it as a PC monitor, make sure to get a TV that features the lowest input lag and response time.
The input lag on this TV is 5 ms and its minimum response time is 1 ms. Gamers will love this TV.
Understanding Input lag and response time
This lag is the latency at which your device inputs changes the content of your TV. For casual Non-FPS games, input lag doesn't matter much.
But ideally, look for a TV that features an input lag and response time of < 20ms.
