SMRTR summary

While RGB mini-LED excels in brightness with over 6,000 nits peak performance compared to OLED's 3,000 nits, it still struggles with black levels and screen uniformity issues that create clouding effects in dark scenes, preventing it from fully dethroning OLED's superior contrast capabilities.
