House of the Dragon on an OLED TV

The Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon has divided the internet into two camps. The first camp is full of furious viewers who couldn’t see a damn thing in the latest episode, and the second is where you’ll find a bunch of smug people with thebest OLED TVs.If you’re in the former camp, it’s not just you. Tons of viewers were quite literally left in the dark.

Keeping viewers in the dark was entirely deliberate

When viewers complained online, HBO Max - which streams the show in the US – responded on its official Twitter account: “We appreciate you reaching out about a night scene in House of the Dragon: Episode 7 appearing dark on your screen. The dimmed lighting of this scene was an intentional creative decision. Thanks!”

As loath as I am to say “buy a better TV”, I do think that if you’re in the market for a new TV it’s becoming really important to think about the type of panel you’re going to get. I don’t watch super-dark series (I don’t like fantasy shows because I’m allergic to wizards) so I didn’t need to go for OLED, but if you’re into your movies – especially more serious movies than MCU eye candy – then OLED andQD-OLED TVsdo offer a much superior performance for directors who love a bit of darkness.
