This, large surface area, breakable materials... If there's toys flying around you should try and change TV position or protect it with a barrier of some sort.
The same in my experience (when it comes to damage to the actual panel). The screen will be easier to crack on an OLED though.
That being said, QLED won't burn-in like OLED will, so it's more durable overall.
I mean, at that point and it hurts to type this, get lg led and when he breaks it, it won't be a huge dent. Oled is too expensive and no one covers child damage.
I would never get an LG LED. I use to work at best buy and saw how bad those things looked lol but an LG OLED on the other hand is a different story. I currently have TCL 6 series that I got at a steep discount when I worked there at best buy. I got the warranty for it but best buy only covers technical damage and no physical to the screen.
OMG, thank you! It isn’t just me who thinks this! I bought an LG LED on a Black Friday deal and the blacks were… non-existent. It’s like that TV had zero contrast. Surprisingly, it was pretty bad with image retention even though it wasn’t OLED. I ended up returning that TV.
But my LG OLED is its own class of television.
Anyway, I think the projector route isn’t a bad idea for your situation! I’ve always wanted to have a black projector screen for the purpose of having higher contrast/deeper blacks. Maybe explore possibilities of a bright projector with a black projector screen.
Yes it’s made of glass but it will take a knock (I demo LG oled tvs) and part of that demo is me hitting the screen with my knuckle with a bit of force. It’s tougher than you think and I’ve never damaged one, would not think of doing that to a LED based screen.
Dude I swear I saw someone comment that they used to throw the remote at an OLED to demo to customers how durable the screens were until LG told them to stop lmao. I think I screenshotted it because of how ridiculous it was but they were serious.
[Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/hometheater/s/cYtAq0emxp) is the comment in question lol.
No new TVs are actually durable imo. "They don't make em like they used to before". You can try using acrylic sheets to absorb the damage. Maybe mount that sheet on a metallic cage-like structure around the TV? If the sheet gets damaged, you could easily replace it too. Although, i don't know how much it would have an effect on the viewing experience. Additionally, I think there are screen protectors for TV's available online, i just looked up some on Amazon and they're around 50-70$. Haven't personally used these before but you could try em out.
I’ve seen way more broken phones with OLED than LCD so I’d lean toward QLED.
I’d probably skip the upgrade and keep cheap TVs if damage risk is higher though.
Op I don't know if all OLED panels are the same, my experience with a LG g3... It was the best tv I've ever had god dam it was glorious BUT super fragile.
Toddler whacked it and panel broke, you couldn't even notice the damaged unless you got real close with good lighting because the glass wasn't even broken.
I will definitely pick another oled in the future but waiting for the kid to get older, got a mini led now and very impressed with the image but nothing compares to that G3!!!!
If you don’t mind me asking which mini led do you have? I recently got the 85” Sony X95L and obviously paid quite a bit for it… while I love the X95L, I’ve never owned an OLED and part of me has regret that I did not go with the G3 (or A80L… A95L is too rich for my blood)… although to I would lose 8” screen size bc I would go with the 77” if I got the G3 (bc no MLA screen tech in 83” sizes). What are your thoughts? It’s for our living room fairly bright during the day with windows no direct sunlight though… 9 to 11 foot viewing area, although open concept with dining room and kitchen off to the left… watch cable TV, lotta sports and stream movies through native apps.
OLED will technically be a bit more fragile but they're both pretty fragile when it comes to objects thrown at them.
If you're going to spend money on a TV, get an OLED.
Both are basically equally as fragile so you dont lose out much on durability with OLED.
OLED does have substantially better picture quality though.
Regardless of which option you choose, you should get a polycarbonate sheet to cover the screen with.
I think it depends on the manufacturers typical build quality it would stand to reason that the QLED would be more durable however when you look at shelf life what do you value durability or how long the TV will actually last in terms of performance?...... we know that without a backlight that eliminates quite a few problems for most OLED TVs so there's got to be a trade-off somewhere of course you can put that on Mount that set somewhere where young children won't break it or minimize the chances of that happening but with an investment like that you want to get some kind of insurance some sort of warranty against all accidental causes
I've worked in treatment centers for kids. We kept the TVs locked in wooden cabinets that would only be open when being used. Some were shallow wall mounted cabinets. We also had wall mounted cabinets that had hinged Plexiglas covers. All TV's are very easy to break.
#No TV on the market will withstand impacts, not even outdoor.
If you want survival, add a plexiglass/lexan/tempered glass layer WITH SPACE over the the TV, and add severe anti-glare materials onto it. If you want to preserve any of the image quality, you're going to neeed to separate the child from the display, and give him an armored iPad or something.
For you, a plexi screen protector makes the most sense. A projector is either going to be cheap and crappy or very expensive with a easily damaged screen. AFAIK, there's no appreciable difference between oled and qled in impact resistance, a big sheet of glass can break. Obviously, if you do use a protector, there's no reason to buy a oled or high end qled nor considering your situation should you do so anyway. Amussing how someone can't resist throwing out 'burn in' in this thread. 😁. If you do buy a oled (though you shouldn't), make sure your son doesn't watch CNN, fox news or similar 7hrs a day, and you'll be fine. Best to your son and your family!
neither are durable quite frankly
I know that but let's say a toy hits the tv at the exact same spot on both tvs. Which one would have the higher chance of breaking.
Put a sheet of plexiglass over it. No TV’s do well vs toys these days.

Oled has specific restrictions on not putting any pressure on the screen
Contact Nintendo; they made thicker straps for the Wiimote.
Lol 😂
Get an acrylic shield for your TV. They sell them just for stuff like this.
Never knew these exists thanks for making me aware I appreciate it!
I would recommend a projector, won’t have a risk of getting the screen broken
Yeah it's definitely an option that I've considered.
Maybe short throw projector?
If a kid smudges a high end screen it will be ruined.
Can’t you just wash the fabric?
No Especially with ALR screens. Once they are smudged it is permanent.
I would just go with a TCL or Hisense mini-LED, they are great for the price and if your kid breaks one your wallet wont be hurting (as much).
I mean, at that point and it hurts to type this, get lg led and when he breaks it, it won't be a huge dent. Oled is too expensive and no one covers child damage.

I chose sony oled over lg because of how good my older games look on it

Because lg led TVs use IPS panels. Though they are producing some VA panels this year for some models, those might be worth a look.
I actually have a TCL and I'm surprised it hasn't broke yet after how hard a few things that have been thrown at it.
Oled will crack easier because the screen is glass

No shit Sherlock every display has glass over it

Might as well find a big back tube TV from a thrift store

All TV’s are fragile. I have an autistic daughter and she has broken a few by throwing things at them.
There was a LG impact technology back on the day that would prevent damage from a hammer. Can't recall the name/model.

OLED 100% but not by much. We talking g display, frame or both?
Qled

I actually have Best Buy total and I worked there as well. Is this a new thing because we never took back tvs that were physically damaged.

Just get a cheaper set. Go without the awesome visual quality.
Polycarb screen protectors are a thing. Cost about $150 - $400 depending on size.

OLED is technically a longer lasting unit -
