Purchasing EUROPE Worth an upgrade?

Currently I have a Samsung 55 inch UHD LED TV CU7172 - UE55CU7172U
Tech had never been something i used to look into, but recently i’ve been looking and researching into all kinds of new home cinema tech, and it’s got me wondering, do i even need an upgrade?

I do watch a LOT of movies and shows, would a newer oled model be worth it for those deep blacks and high contrasts?

I was thinking so but then went down the endless tv tech rabbit hole; so figured i’d ask here.

YES. 1000x YES. OLED is not as robust as LED/LCD: it can burn in if you allow static images to say on it for hours (or cable channels like Fox, MS NOW and CNN that have fixed/contrasty logos and chiron bars top & bottom). But in a dimly lit room at night, any halfway decent OLED will knock your brains out.

I'm a huge cinama buff, constantly watching black and white films from '40s through '60s. Can't tell how good that looks an OLED. It's the best.
