So you are going on about HDR, but I am quite sure that if you put an LED even with HDR right beside an OLED will it look as good? Are you telling me that HDR will make Plasma look bland?

If you look into the LED technology, the limiting factor is how black is black and how white is white. Then you have a number of steps between those two. So an 8bit TV will give you 256 gradient steps and a newer 10bit TV will give you 1024 steps. So you can get effectively more colour and a better colour reproduction. But if your blacks are never black then the only choice you have to get more dynamic range is to make the whites more brighter. But brighter does not mean whiter. And you can get to a point of over saturation where you loose detail.
