  "account": "Living room brightness levels can impact the viewing experience of OLED TVs, which are known for their exceptional picture quality. However, OLEDs are typically less bright than LCD-based sets. While high-end OLEDs like the Samsung S95H offer impressive brightness, often exceeding 2,700 nits, they still fall short of the brightness achieved by premium LED TVs. The middle ground lies in mid-range OLEDs such as the LG C6 and Samsung S90H, which provide adequate brightness for most rooms, especially when glare-free features are available. These mid-range OLEDs typically boast average full-screen brightness that is brighter than entry-level models but not as bright as high-end counterparts.",
  "summary": "LG, Samsung and Sony make some of the best OLED TVs money can buy, but some OLEDs are potentially too dim for bright rooms. Here's what you need to know before shopping.",
