This visualization from [this Verge article](https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/15/24344798/lg-display-oled-tv-panel-fourth-generation-features) nicely summarizes how OLED has evolved over the past 10 years:

I have an older generation OLED TV, but when I saw some of the latest TVs side-by-side at a home theater specialty store recently, the brightness doesn’t seem to improve the visuals a lot in a dark room. Because I primarily watch TV only in the evenings, I guess I’ll wait to see what the 5th generation has in store 😛

My TV is my laptop lol.  
Looking at this though I was reminded of a super interesting video from the SlowMo Guys back in the day:
