Which TV panel is better? Why is a soft screen better than a hard screen in high-end LED TVs?

The soft screen has high contrast, good dark details, and good light control.
The hard screen has a wide viewing angle, low contrast, and inherently poor light control.

After entering the HDR era, high-end TVs are required to be bright and dark, and hard screens will naturally be defeated.

It is also related to the dynamic response time of the smear. The dynamic response time of IPS gaming monitors is indeed fast, but at the expense of image quality, the response time of graphics monitors with IPS hard screens is not fast.

A TV, like a graphics monitor, cannot sacrifice image quality for response time. Moreover, the dynamic response time of the VA soft screen specially customized for high-end TVs is relatively fast.

Therefore, high-end hard-screen TVs have no smear advantage over high-end soft-screen TVs.

However, when it comes to mid-to-low-end TVs, mid-to-low-end VA soft screens generally have a long response time and are prone to smearing. On the contrary, low-end hard-screen TVs are not easy to smear, and the advantages come out.

There is also a wide viewing angle factor. Now Sony Samsung's high-end VA soft-screen TV has a wide-sharp viewing angle technology. At the beginning, the wide-sharp viewing angle caused a sharp drop in contrast ratio (still much higher than that of a hard screen), and the sub-pixels were seriously blurred. Now the third-generation wide-sharp viewing angle has a relatively low impact on the picture quality.

In conclusion:

The soft and hard screens of medium and low-end TVs have their own advantages, but among high-end HDR TVs, the soft screen wins.
