Thanks to an all-new spin on quantum-dot technology, the TCL X11L delivers some of the best (and brightest) performance we've ever seen on a Mini-LED TV. However, even compared to LG's flagship OLED TV, the X11L is prohibitively expensive for most shoppers.
Pros
- Exceptional brightness and HDR impact
- Excellent color retention in bright scenes
- Premium features and connectivity
Cons
- Extremely expensive
- Large sizes limit placement options
- Motion handling isnât class-leading
The G5 offers stunning picture quality and some of the brightest highlights you'll find on an OLED TV. It's also packed with features. As LG's flagship OLED, it doesn't come cheap, but it's nevertheless much more affordable than the TCL X11L. For most people, it's the all-around better buy.
Pros
- Nearly unparalleled brightness for an OLED
- Gorgeous color
- Terrific gaming features
Cons
- A little pricey for what you get
- No ATSC 3.0 tuner
In one corner is the LG G5, which is not only one of the best OLED TVs you can buy, itâs easily one of the best LG TVs ever made, period. If youâve been considering a high-performance OLED TV, the G5 is likely near the top of your list of options.
In the other corner is the all-new TCL X11L. While the G5 iterates on traditional OLED technology, the X11L is a complete refresh on a quantum dot-enhanced Mini-LED TV. Thanks in part to TCLâs new Super Quantum Dot (SQD) display tech, the X11L is currently over twice as expensive as the G5. The question, then, is this: If youâve got the money to spend on either option, which should you choose?
