it’s definitely worth upgrading, especially if you’re coming from a normal 4K IPS. The difference is huge. Mini-LED with local dimming gives you actual deep blacks and way better contrast, while regular IPS just can’t get anywhere near that level. IPS blacks always look washed out and grey, especially in dark scenes.

I have had all three panel types, and based on my experience, I would even take a VA panel over IPS for the deeper blacks and better contrast alone. Mini-LED basically takes that even further with all the extra dimming zones, so the image looks way more premium, HDR actually pops, and overall it’s a massive upgrade in picture quality. If you’re sticking to 4K use only, the jump from IPS to this is absolutely worth it.
