Yes was hoping for a thread like this...
 
Lol yeah I'm sure every professional calibrator and judge have an OLED bias.
 
Some don't like burn in,a peak brightness over 800 nits especially for HDR and blacks that don't crush. All of the above speaks of oled.
 
Some don't like the greyish blacks, over saturation, light bleeding, balling and horrible viewing angles of LED.

I'm glad my OLED doesn't even have image retention much less burn in.
 
Some don't have greyish blacks...in fact none of the Full Array LED's ive owned ever did or I wouldn't be singing its praises. My sets are so black that you couldn't tell if the screen was on or off.
No light bleeding noticed on my current set or screen uniformity like some get with LED AND OLED.
HDR needs HIGH Nits and OLED only reaches 800 where some LED sets like mine are almost 2000.
Loss of details in dark scenes/black crush is a major issue with OLED a issue that high end LED's left behind years ago.
Over saturation? That's OLED that does that.
Viewing angles are not as good with LED/LCD but it depends on your seating arrangement how much of a factor it can be. Images being burned in is very real with OLED just like it was with plasma...denial was strong than and now.
Here is a thread with denial in the face of pictures proving otherwise. http://www.avsforum.com/forum/40-ol...eneral/2804065-oled-screen-burn-photos-2.html If I didn't game or have my PC hooked up 2 it..I wouldn't care as much.
 
If you come over and show me where my OLED has burn in I'll pay you $52 lol It's a myth just like the later plasmas. I sold the last Panny plasma I had for good money and there was no burn in on that either.

Well, I suggest turning off the light and observe. This is an overexposed shot of the Sony Z9D, the king of FALD LED-lit LCD with 630 individual zones. See light bleeding, blooming, halo, and gray-ish blacks everywhere?

Now the LG EG9600 OLED

BAM:banana: Wow the uniformity on that Sony is horrible. Looking at those pics it's not surprising OLEDs and plasmas always win these shoot outs.

LG OLED beats out Sonys OLED in all 3 categories.
anyone interested in OLED save yourself a couple grand and get a LG C7 OLED. The C7 has the same PQ as the E7, it just lacks the sound bar and picture on glass design.

"Congratulations to LG for taking the Studio Lighting/Home Theater prize with its E7 OLED, which is most akin to the “King of TVs” award from years past. "

"Wide viewing angles, accurate colors, and excellent contrast combined to give the E7 an edge over its OLED competitor, the Sony A1E. However, the Sony was given an honorable mention award for coming close to the LG."

Bah, it's only a few pixels difference, you can't even notice the difference, and besides, it's the games that matter and LG has no first party exclusive games worth playing. #SDF

No surprise.

Korean TVs have been better quality than Japanese TVs for probably 10 years. Maybe even more. And price, wise, they are cheaper since the beginning of time.

As I said in a different thread, Korean TVs = high quality/mid tier price. Sony = mid quality/high price.

That's why Korean TVs have shot up in popularity and quality. They have improved a lot in 20 years at good prices. Japanese TVs haven't improved quality one bit since the 90s, yet still have premium pricing. That strategy has failed for Pioneer and Panasonic and Sony. Pioneer quit TVs, Panasonic and Sharp have scaled back TVs, and Sony loses tons of money.

And all those other Japanese corporations that used to make TVs in the 90s have basically disappeared.... Sanyo, Hitachi, Toshiba, JVC, Mitsubishi.

The only TVs makers are the upswing in the past 20 years are probably Samsung, LG and Vizio. And a bunch of smaller name Chinese makers.

And you'll see a common factor among all of these 3..... good products and good prices. Brand name means nothing..... LG/Samsung used to be bargain basement Korean crap in the 90s, and Vizio is a new brand most people have still never heard of.
