I'd rather have OLED anyway over HDR. HDR means nothing if you can't represent the extra colors accurately. OLED is as accurate as it gets. Don't have to worry about "HDR compatible" with it either which is a plus

In the TV market a TV should support HDR10 if it is marked UltraHD Premium.

RTINGS is the best site for comparing HDR TVs as they provide proper measurements and how well they compare the full extent of the spec.

I think you're getting your terms mixed up. OLED can be HDR. They aren't exclusive.
OLED is a technology. HDR is a standard.

I'm not. I am simply saying I'd rather have OLED than HDR. OLED beats any LED HDR TV on the market and it's not even close. I'd even wager an OLED TV looks better than a fully supported 10bit HDR LED panel.

Ok, saying you'd rather have a OLED over a HDR LED makes more sense. And I'd agree too, the black range of OLEDs are superior to LED, more expensive though.

Depends how you define looks better, LEDs will naturally look more striking where the content being played exploits the peak brightness but I would say 90% of content does favour the definition of the OLED.

I'm not actually sure you can get non-HDR OLEDs after looking around, as they basically defined a standard of HDR just to accommodate OLEDs.
