Is OLED worth it or is it a meme?
yes
yeah they make better blacks
>gets burn-in
Gee, I dunno
I'm sure its great but once the local negros know you have a $4999 TV in your house, good luck keeping it.
>very short lifespan
>very expensive
>very little quality 4k material to be viewed
yeah, no
>once the local negros know you have a $4999 TV in your house
Where do you live to have local negroes? I have to travel over 500 kilometers to see one reliably
No.
Suffer from burn-in and have terrible brightness.
Buy regular LED until QDLED becomes reality.
aren't OLED TV like 500$ now ? i can't keep up with the technology.
QLED is where it's at
ZLED is where it's at
TV's plateaued 10 years ago. OLED has slightly better white levels than what a Plasma had 10 years ago but trades that off by being a terrible streaky pile of garbage when something's moving. And IR is worse.
I've pretty much given up on tv's ever being good at this point. Plasma got forced into stagnation by European power nonsense and OLED's fundamental problems can't be solved.
Pinch your pennies and buy a projector if you really care. That's what I'm going to do.
why?
QLED is just LCD panels rebrand, it's not on par with oled for the moment.
QLED uses a back-lighting system like traditional LED
QDLED is proper dot display without being garbage like OLED.
Regular LED-LCD systems with backlighting is what you buy now, they are the most mature system with the least downsides.
QDLED is what you will buy in the future.
BLACKED looks kino on OLED I bet
I only watch shows on my phone and I'm fine
No. It's expensive in panels above 20"
>1100
>very expensive
sure is poorfags ITT
I have 5000 USD gaming rig, would not even consider getting OLED at this point
MicroLED will be based
This. Until they become commercially available, OLED is the way to go if you actually care about picture quality.
not better than my good old plasma
I'm using a 50" plasma from 2007
TH-50PX700A
Ive neve used an oled TV cos I'm still using some mediocre 32 inch LCD Samsung that I bought 5-6 years ago, but I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and that amoled display is the most gorgeous display I've ever seen. If their OLED TVs are a thing similar, than it should be amazing, but i doubt it cos I guess 40ninches of such screen would be extremely expensive
They are the best for watching your kino. Don't get near them if you play vydia though.
QLED is just a LED on steroids
What world are you living in, the 'meme' is that OLED is terrible, normies are treating it like plasma or HD-DVD, see it as a technology that is too borked by design to survive.
Reality is that those are good TVs with an extremely wide colour space reproduction.
If you think this is something your watching experience would benefit from, it's worth it.
Yeah, but the new ones coming out this year are waaaay-better, its oled tier
yeah, but there's burn to worry about, so avoid playing video games on it
This is not true, QLED is OLED, except not 'organic'. Same principles, but an array of micro diodes used instead of a photoreactive layer.
why is burn-in considered acceptable in a tv? i would never buy a tv that could have this happen to it
it isn't it seems, oled is not selling
I bought a Q9F QLED last year it is amazing, very close to OLED blacks with no screen burn in, no light bleed on black bars and edges of panel,
far superior to 1st gen LED 4K TV's, HDR10+ makes the most difference.
OLED is an absolute meme, the technology behind it can be explained as camera that takes pictures in reverse.
It's going to degrade and burn-in and there's no way around that, it's a very primitive chemical based solution, and there's only so many electrons in the display layer after it's closed off.
QLED is replacing the chemical paste with a massive amount of tiny switchable lights.
Industry insider here, absolutely worth it.
All film and TV is mastered on OLED screens.
LED screens have to work to make a compromise between the brightest and darkest points on a tv screen. Thats why if you have a crap LED TV dark scenes look either too dark to see jack or washed out and muddy looking.
An OLED can make the areas of a TV screen that need to be bright, bright; without compromising any of the darkness. Seeing actual black on a home TV screen rather than dark grey is a revelation.
If you're looking for an OLED its a tie between Sony and LG. (Or Panasonic if you're a Yuropoor)
Sony: Have the best motion handling of all the TV manufacturers and the clearest picture. They also have the Android OS which was shit but has got a lot better in recent years. Support for HDR and (software led) Dolby Vision
LG: Their motion handling is getting better, but still looks weird compared to Sony and a little soap opera-y. They do really well with using their OLED screens as these are the guys manufacturing them and some HDR content looks fantastic. They're also really the best sets for gaming in terms of VRR and some early HDMI 2.1 features. HDR support and hardware led Dolby Vision.
Pansonic: Again there moition handling doesn't compare to Sony and is chock full of artefacts and they can suffer from judder but there colour calibration is super accurate, and won't require a professional calibrator, if that's something that bothers you. The Panasonic smart offerings are shit though, but you'll get all the main bases covered. HDR only
If you're wanting to buy an OLED now a 2018 set will be really cheap (by comparison to launch prices) but if you want a 2019 set you should wait till Black Friday or Christmas.
Don't buy a Samsung, they're fucking wank.
I have a LG65C18 and never looked back. The picture is simply breathtaking, to an extent where I cannot comfortably watch stuff on different (as in older) TVs anymore
You're lying. We're using Panasonic's 15 years old LCD screens but we're mostly working with digital projectors nowadays.
>Seeing actual black on the screen is a revelation
Abso fucking lutely
I bought an LG c9 and it’s been amazing so far
Oh and in regards to burn in, unless you're having 9 hour gaming sessions you'll be fine, and even then the TV will work to minimise the chances.
And for people saying OLED isn't selling. Companies are selling out of shipments months ahead of expectations.
QLED wankers STFU, Sony invented that tech (Triluminos) and Samsung bought it off them.
The Q is just a plastic layer over a tv screen that makes the viewing angle worse but affects the frequency of some colours to make them look slightly different.
We who hmmm? Sony have been selling ridiculously priced OLED Mastering Screens to studios for years hand over fist. Only recently have studios started buying off the shelf OLEDs to master on. If you're mastering on Panasonic you're probably sponsored to.
Not worth it to me until they fix the burn-in issue
They can't, it's a technology based on chemical reactions. You can prepare particular isotopes to work great out of the box, but in time, after having exchanged electrons billions of times, eventually they will become stable, ergo less reactive.
>unless you're having 9 hour gaming sessions you'll be fine, and even then the TV will work to minimise the chances.
Can't you theoretically have your 9 hour gaming sessions depending on what game? That is, so long as there isn't one graphic always in the same spot on the screen, you won't get the burn in?
>It's going to degrade and burn-in and there's no way around that, it's a very primitive chemical based solution, and there's only so many electrons in the display layer after it's closed off.
>They can't, it's a technology based on chemical reactions. You can prepare particular isotopes to work great out of the box, but in time, after having exchanged electrons billions of times, eventually they will become stable, ergo less reactive.
So, in other words, its perfect for economy built around planned obsolescence..
Really makes you think
why do you keep the stickers over your screen? my fucking autism user
>until they fix the burn-in issue
really depends on how often you use your TV for console gaming or if you use your PC. The people saying: "QLEDs are just as good..." don't understand the basics of how it works. when a TV has a backlight, the...texture of colours will always be different, in particular you'll never get a"true black."
Odd thing about OLEDs-- about...3-4 years ago, they were a lot cheaper, like around $1,500. It was around christmas, was planning to buy one on boeing day, and listened to my asshole brother to wait and see if it dropped more: "who raises prices a few days after Christmas?"
Well, woke up the very next morning and they had gone from ~1,500 to over $3k. I think that must have been the point where apple and samsung did the deal to use OLED on their phones and the supplier upped it that very night. Also, as another user pointed out earlier, I have a Samsung Note 9 and the OLED picture is fucking amazing, beyond anything have ever seen on any TV, and I have a 4k that gets to 3950X 2450. It's still not even fucking close.
People are saying that the software countermeasures implemented in the TVs does help a bit, but after a year of normal use you're still going to have slight burn ins. It's not necessarily about the logos, but massive blobs of darkness and brightness on the screen.
>The Q is just a plastic layer over a tv screen that makes the viewing angle worse but affects the frequency of some colours to make them look slightly different.
You're either shilling or confusing QLED with something else.
OLED is an extremely thin layer of a chemically active paste that gives off light, controlled by a separate induction layer which limits the resolution.
QLED is a matrix of really tiny diodes that give off light, controlled by itself, the number of diodes limits the resolution.
Traditional LED is a bright-to-dark semi-opaque electronic layer layer that controls itself and is back-lit, as in, the light shines through the parts of the screen that aren't dimmed.
Also, if you do have a 4k, reminder you need a special HDMI for it to work properly, you can't just use an amazon basic. Doesn't mean you have to get the "fusion" one with the fucking insane price, if you check amazon for "HDMI 2.2," they will show you the type you need, about $10 for 2 of the depending on length.
>People are saying that the software countermeasures implemented in the TVs does help a bit, but after a year of normal use you're still going to have slight burn ins. It's not necessarily about the logos, but massive blobs of darkness and brightness on the screen
Even if it's true, unless you really abuse the shit out of it, you're still going to get a minimum of 3.5 good years out of it, by which time, 8k OLED will be the big thing and these will cost what 1080s cost now.
If you have a 4k TV and are not using one of these, you're pissing away money and not getting genuine 4k pic. I assume same goes for PCs if you use HDMI and not the other connection whose name escapes me....
QLED and LED is the same thing. They are transmissive screens that let light through from pixels opening and closing that are situated in front of lights.
OLED is emissive which means it gives off light. The pixels themselves light up and switch off and that’s why you get perfect blacks from the screens.
OLED is the best you can still get now.
the ultimate best is and was Plasma.
This. Each pixel literally provides its own light rather than relying on a backlight, which is what make sit so different. If you think I'm bullshitting, try find a friend today with a samsung galaxy 9+ or higher and ask to watch...a random video on it. You'll set the difference immediately.
Addendum- I'm 95% sure that Amazon told everyone that their "basic" HDMI were perfectly fine to use for 4k and even for 4k gaming on monitors. I'm a fucking useless geek (I hate how that word now has bugman "I fucking love science!" connotations ) who reads hardware and software magazines (though I dumped Nat Geo from my iPad--which had been my favorite app-- after their new editor, (((Susan Goldberg))), turned a once great magazine with a century plus of tradition into a weekly poz fest0 and I never knew about HDMI 2.2 to use for real 4k. I have about 12 Amazon "Basic" HD cabers that are fucking useless to me now.
Maybe I can find out on "wayback machine," but I'm sure the fuckers advertised these as working for 4k on both TV and PC.
I wish we’d got 4k plasmas but the cost of producing them became too much. Phosphorus is too expensive since its getting more rare and they ate electricity anyway
Those pictures were taken the day I bought it
This is not true, burn-in with games is absolutely real, specially in games that have static items like mini-maps, just like it's a real issue if you watch channels that have their logo watermark in a corner.
OLED is a failed technology that is actually a step backwards of Plasma.
don't let the flat tv meme fool you
CRT's are still superior
What the FUCK is this faggotry? So the whole HDCP 2.2 IS fucking bullshit, it's a new thing the scumbags rolled out recently to "protect their copyrighted material from illegal copying" and it WILL BE" the standard soon. these motherfuckers, just no end to it, is there?
"Copy protection/content protection has been around since the VHS era, something anyone who tried to copy a Blockbuster rental can tell you. Back then it was called Macrovision, which evolved to CSS for DVD and finally HDCP, which stands for High-bandwidth digital Content Protection, for Blu-ray players and HDTV devices like satellite and cable boxes.
HDCP 2.2 is the latest evolution of copy protection. It's designed to create a secure connection between a source and a display. Ostensibly this is so you can't take the output from a source (a Blu-ray player, say) and plug it into some kind of recorder, to make a copy of the content. DRM, the encryption of the content itself, is a separate issue. HDCP doesn't care what goes across the cable, as long as that cable is secure"
is there any model without smart TV and OS and all that bullshit?
>This is not true, burn-in with games is absolutely real,
Have you owned one and seen it dude? Not denying it happens to some, but on what brands, what year, how long was the fucker on the same image for? I've heard 20 ppl say this on here, but not one has fucking owned it themselves. And the reviews on Amazon so far from confirmed buyers all fucking 5/5, and everyone I know who has it loves it.
Even if what you are saying is 100% true and it gets a burn in after...3-3.5 years. By that time, 8k OLEd will be out and these will be the same price as a 1080 now, so it won't fucking matter.
When I do get my OLED, I still intend to keep my 4k, so I won't fucking burn anything into it when using my consoles. and most of my fucking gaming is on my Pc anyway.
>professional calibrator
give me a fucking break, do you manage to sell that shit to your clients?
>any model without smart TV and OS
the only people who ask me this when buying their new TVs are my aunts, all over 70s. Have you ever had "smart TV" user and what exactly do you think it is? I have it on my Samsung 4k. All it means is that you can bring up a menu with..amazon. HBO go (basically everything on roku) when you want, and some of them have a device to..help you find a missing remote. That's all. I'm guessing you're over 60, correct? Why are older people so afraid of this technology? If you don't like it, you fucking don't turn ever turn on the menu and you never see it. End of.
The whole thing about QLED is that it IS emissive.
You don't to own one, there are a lot of great TV reviewers on Youtube that explain very well the issue as well as many regular consumers making videos about it. LG for example is well aware of this because their warranty doesn't cover burn-in.
The ones coming out this year are exactly the same as the ones from last year but with better viewing angles, and in fact colour gamut and colour volume are worse.
>professional calibrator
>doesn't appreciate Samsung or Philips
>shills for LG instead
>thinks black friday and christmas sales actually lower the price and aren't scams
woah dude
>OLED is a failed technology
user, most who can afford them are not people playing console games on them, at least not in last few years. and the wealthy people with small kids get them a 4k QLED for their playroom/bedrooms and an OLED for their living room. If they haven't put the Best Buys out of business yet in your area, go look at them. Or as already said, look at the OLED display on a new Samsung and tell me it's not the most amazing pic you've ever seen.
I think there are also a few fucking tablets that have them. If apple keeps losing money, they may have to bring down prices, at least for a time, on their OLED shit to try to lure back customers. Much as I despise them and how possed the company has become, if they had a really good price on...an OLED iPad, I'd fucking bite.
Sadly no, its a case of picking the lesser evil.
It's not a step back because it takes about 3 times as long to create any burn in on an OLED as opposed to a plasma.
Modern OLEDs also do something called pixel shifting where they will move the image around on the TV slightly so as to not abuse certain pixels.
LG specifically are capable of detecting static images on ta TV and will lessen the brightness of said pixels to combat burn in.
And again all brands have a cleaning feature where they fuck about with the screen for around 30 minutes after going into standby to reduce any chances of burn in.
I've actually had the opportunity to burn in an OLED TV and it took me about a week of displaying the same image for about oooh 18 hours a day.
I agree but (((Hollywood & Media)))
Calibration isn't my thing and I'll be honest I'm not super bothered about it because my ideal image isn't trying to replicate what a smokey cinema screen looked like in the 70's. But everyone has different setups and differing technical ability so each to their own, I won't criticise anyone who gets that done.
no I'm 23
> bring up a menu with..amazon. HBO go (basically everything on roku) when you want
and I hate that shit, half the time it's broken and impedes with basic functions.
The pixels literally turn off for pure black on an OLED. Your plasma blacks look like dark gray in comparison.
>either a samsung shill, or stupid
burn-in is not the same as image retention, which goes away easily, both in plasmas and OLED
I own both, and my plasma retains a logo or menu after 5 minutes, my OLED never.
OLED are 10000 times more resistant to image retention, hence burn in
OLEDs are much relaxed when it comes to protecting them from this
All you have to know OP is that no OLED owner complained about the latest GoT episode being "too dark"
>You don't to own one, there are a lot of great TV reviewers on Youtube that explain very well the issue
But you don't know what their fucking agenda actually is, since most of these "big Yt tech types" receive free shit. Many of them probably have 80 inch QLED TVs they got for free sitting in the room next to them as they tell YOU not to buy an OLED. Whatever the burnout issue, I've NEVER known anyone to have a problem with it yet with any brand, and it's going on almost 6 years now that people have owned them.
And again, let's say your point is true-- Nippon is shipping its first 8k TVs to US next month. Let's say in...3-4 years, the fucker did get "burn marks" since you didn't heed advice and just used your console on-stop on the goddam thing. But that point, it would be obsolete anyway as 8k, OLEDs would be the new thing, and you'd be able to get a 4k, OLED for the $400 you current pay for a 4k non old, non-QLED (which is trash) 75 inches.
If you have the 2k_ to blow on t on the fucking OLED anyway, odds are you aren't starving for monies ad your kids are not going hungry. I know a lot of people who own them, I came within a cunt-hair of getting one myself before the fuckers quite literally doubled the price the day after christmas, and I've never heard of burn-in cases, even from people who have had for 6 years now..(it could be only 5 years, i might be wrong, but I seem to recall 2013..)
Wish there was a way to make better blacks outside the tvs
>owning a TV in 2k19
have sex
>and I hate that shit, half the time it's broken and impedes with basic functions.
Dude, if you're 23 and have been dealing with tech your entire life and don't know how to "close" a fucking menu...at least on the samsung I have, which is a "SMART TV," I have not had the "SMART MENU" come up in 2.5 years, since eI bought the fucker and was trying out all the features. It's no moron issue than the fucking...color controls are now on your 1080 or whatever you have.
And I'm not here to "sell you" anything, don't really care what you buy when way or another, but you're indulging in a paranoid fantasy here.
You're actually fucking retarded or a korean dog eater shill.
The Q part of the QLED screen will not work without the LED behind it pushing light through the nano particles which push out light at changed frequencies. It absolutely is not self emissive.
And you can keep harping on about this but it doesn't change the fact a QLED still has washed out and grey looking black areas on the screen. They can't do perfect black, thus they can't create infinite contrast.
Samsung are a fucking joke and their TV's reck picture whatever its from, Phillips are barely hanging on in Europe as a TV manufacturer and either way, still an LG screen in the Phillips. I like what I've seen of them but they aren't really competing. When visiting the high street, the last time I saw one was around 2013/14
Also, not a calibrator.
Also, not shilling for LG but respect is given where its due. Outside of OLED their LED TV's are fucking horrible and basically they make TV's for people who are still stupid enough to buy a Samsung but can't afford one.
It's worth it as long as you don't intend to ever turn it on.
If you do turn it on it will burn in instantly. It's a feature, not a bug.
the quality of the content year by year is getting worse and worse. Why would you fork out thousands and thousands of dollars just to see the horrible, unsatisfying pap that they slop out in better quality? If you really, really want to see something, go to the theater.
Right now, having lost my goddam samsung Tv remote, I WISH my "SMART TV" had the button on it you press to find the remote. But, luckily my samsung galaxy 9+ has a fucking app you can DL and essentially do exactly the same shit like change input, volume, etc...
It's not just pro-reviewers you utter bellend it's everyday people uploading their burnt-in OLEDs, just go to youtube and search yourself, it takes you 10 seconds.
Everyone, please
"burn-in" is not the same as "image retention"
there's no way a reviewer with a new OLED can even measure burn-in, let alone mention it, because it happens maybe after a couple of weeks of deliberate abuse and negligence
Samsung made a scare campaign about it, using shills, commercials, etc
The reality is that OLEDs don't even retain with regular use, so burn-in is almost impossible if you're not brainless
If samsung didn't think OLED were superior, why create a brand called QLED, that only has the purpose to fool clueless consumers?
I own a samsung plasma apart from my OLED, I don't care about brands, just the product, but samsung is really pathetic right now
>Samsung are a fucking joke and their TV's reck picture whatever its
Dude, I carry no brief for Samsung. I own one, but I have no stock in the fucking company. Thing has behaved beautifully at 4k for ~4.5 years. Also, something I've learned in my life-- anyone who claims to be an "industry insider" never is, or you'd know that most people actually in "the industry" know fuck all about TVs. the reaction you always get is: "yeah, IDK, don't have time to see anything but for editing my new (film/TC).
Example-- a "sibling" who was working on a very big franchise in the UK had an actor come over to the house he bought there to work for 18 months, and the TV had some sort of massive TV. The actor said: "Omg, you have one of these, this is a 'cult TV,' how did you get this?"
It was fucking there when he moved in and he was going to toss it out, but then he had moving people put it into another room. This is the same sibling you can ask about Tv brands, FPS (other than complain about raising it from..45 or 50 or whatever it has been traditionally)...ask about OLED, QLED, 4k, you'll get a fucking plank stare...
>bought and 1080p oled when they came out
>works like a dream 3+ years later, colors and shrapness are insane, no motion blur etc.
Yeah, I think it's worth it.
it's image retention user, it will go away if they clean it
after a day of permanent logos or game HUDs, they should've done a cleaning cycle, which they probably didn't do, and the permanent content started to get retained little by little everyday
now it will cost more to get rid of, but it will get out
I envy you, I couldn't get a 1080p OLED, and I had to buy a fucking 2080Ti so I could play 4K decently on my OLED
>watch it, goyim.
I have a samsung smart TV too and shit's all retarded. Sure I can change plenty of parameters without having to go through the retarded interface but as soon as you try to turn your TV into a media hub you have to go through that god awful slow broken interface.
what a world we live in where if a product lasts more than 3 years is a selling point
trying to picture what an OLED is like that's actually only a 1080...what are the FPS you get? As long as you like it, guess that's all that matters. Curious, around what did you pay? I'm wondering if you got one right before I was about to buy, when the fuckers were...maybe $1,600 for a 65 inch TV? Then, as already said, doubled literally overnight. Should have seen that coming and bought stock in the major OLED supplier on the chink market.
They're ALWAYS sneaky fucks though and pull shit like this either on Christmas eve or the day after Christmas, when they know the fucking whites will be at home. I don't even think the Jews go in since they HAVE to give the mexican cleaners ands such off those days.
what year user and what model? maybe I got fucking lucky with year and model, but i fucking bitch about everything and have had no issues with this fucker.
No it's not, if you want to play the OLED lottery and get a bad panel you are fucked. This has been discussed to death in specialized forums and simple things like the Netflix logo will make a burn-in.
>I assume the same for PCs.
Nah, Display Port is preferable, though the improvement over a 4K capable HDMI is hard to see with the naked eye.
around 2014, I don't know the model I didn't buy it and I would have never bought something like it There is a Netfl*x app on it but I can't use it since the account linked is not mine and you can't connect with another account, and that's just one tiny problems among many others. Oh yeah, and it's goddamn hideous.
My very first flat screen LED TV was Samsung and it was amazing. They were a new company putting out great products way cheaper than everybody else, they nearly put several of their competitors out of business.
HOWEVER, once they got to the top of the game, they stopped innovating, put the prices up and stopped competing. Samsung TV's are a brand that appeals to women through marketing and product placement, the kind of people who look like Brie Larson and want to speak to the manager wherever they go. IMHO their TV's havent been worth a damn for 5 years now.
>you have to go through that god awful slow broken interface.
WTF do you mean? all I run on my samsung are a Roku 4k version, blue ray, and my consoles. I've NEVER had occasion to fuck with anything else. If it's a major issue for you, the 4k rokus are...i think $30 at this point, maybe $40? You take ONE TIME, go on the net (tom's hardware is good for this) put in your year and model, get the best parameters, input them, and that's it. All else I do from my roku. Can change just about anything from...adding subtitles if I want to watch a nipponese program in amazon prime TV to changing colors to...fuckign everything, do it through the roku once you set your parameters ONCE and it's fine.
well then consider me a lottery winner
having the netflix logo burned in is literally fear mongering
in that case I'd have every videogame logo burned in, every movie production company, etc
hey, maybe they're cancelling each other!
It's called living in a city
Well, are you near it? Can't really help you or comment on it if you can't bring up the year or model so can see what various tech sites I trust say about it. Just fucking turn it on and go to "info" and will give you all you need.
Or Jewggle "how to find out my year and model number number, samsung TV" and it will explain it in detail.
the point is being that there is no burn in or something on my unit in 3-4 years, I think I bought it in 2015
I bought it for about 1800 EUR with some loyality program benefits in my local big tech store. I don't know about fps, sorry. If you are interested, it is an LG 910v model (Europe)
but I don't want to go through that shit. I just want to plug it in, fuck with parameters for 5 minutes and that's it. Basically a monitor. Their retarded features are invasive.
>Nah, Display Port is preferable,
Use display port but was having a weird issue where one of my monitors wouldn't work with it. Have 3 monitors over 30 inches (HUGE mistake not to get the same ones), but since I wanted them primarily for my flying and Euro trucking simulator I could use with VR and my week and pedals and yoke, didn't think it would matter. Actually almost bought the 49 inch LG, since it was $500 cheaper than the 38" I actually ended up with.
So, yeah, use HDMI for everything, save when the fucker won't let me. Which remind me, I think I have an adapter wit a bunch of D plug-ins, but if not, need to see a. if they make them and b. if they do, need t get 2 of them.. Even I have one that plugs into an HDMI and has a DP input in it, that's fine too.
>I just want to plug it in, fuck with parameters for 5 minutes and that's it. Basically a monitor. Their retarded features are invasive.
Dude, that's ALL YOU FUCKING NEED TO DO. You go to a site like "tom's hardware," enter the model #, they give you the best settings, and you enter them. You attack your roku. You only fuck with it if you notice something is wrong.
>I bought it for about 1800 EUR with some loyality program benefits in my local big tech store.
usually a mistake user, since it's probably run by corrupt arabs. so you paid about..$2400 for it then? given the extra you pay for TVs, there, sounds about on par with what I was going to pay. How big is it? do hey measure in inches there for TVs at least I hope or still fucking "centimeters?"
>Have 3 monitors over 30 inches (HUGE mistake not to get the same ones), but since I wanted them primarily for my flying and Euro trucking simulator
fucking based
that's just no true. First start up has you going through that retarded installation procedure.
Organic LED? Isn't there a chance of it morphing into a terminator T-1000 and killing you?
>that's just no true. First start up has you going through that retarded installation procedure.
Yeah, you're either retarded or baiting. So the idea of going through a 305 minute process of setting up your TV to connect to your internet, picking your region, language, etc... is just too much to handle? not buying it. Or, if it is true, how the fuck do you manage when...your computer fucks up and you need to reinstall your OS?
How is OLED terrible?
yeah that's too much because I don't need it, there is not point unlike a computer
I'm using a 55" LG LED from 2017 right now and god damn this shit his horrible. You move a mouse cursor on a black screen and half of the background turns light grey like how did they fuck up the contrast this bad??
It's like they made it terrible on purpose so people would buy OLEDs and their plan fucking worked because I'm buying one next month. Fortunately the LED telly isn't mine.
Consumers consensus is that it's just another plasma, a fade that will pass.
>It burns in.
>Dims with age and loses 50% of its brightness after a year.
>Isn't very bright right from the start so it doesn't look very impressive on store shelves.
Does Samsung's superior OLEDs in mobile translate to TVs?
Not him but why would he be a Samsung shill when Samsung is the largest manufacturer of OLED panels?
nope. go LG
They're pricey and can get image retention but look amazing and use less power.
I wanted one but decided on a backlit LCD instead with local dimming as opposed to edgelit. It's a compromise
now that you can buy coke-dealer tier 55inch+ tvs for under 1000 I think the best thing to do is just buy the ones on sale and toss em when they start to fade even a little.
Is the A8F a good buy? I cant justify the price of A9F
>You move a mouse cursor on a black screen and half of the background turns light grey like how did they fuck up the contrast this bad??
why are you using it as a monitor? But having said that, I will still shill for samsung TVs since after all this time no issues with it...
>for under 1000 I
under $1000? Dude, they're down to $350 now. $1,100 for a QLED. Regular 4k is a lot less.
>>burn in
Burn in literally isn't a thing, unless you use your OLED TV to play the same thing 24/7 for months at a time.
I have literally the TV in OP's image, the LG, and it has several technologies built in to avoid it such as pixel shifting, static image dimming, etc.
>Spending this much on a fag pc
no, user, I paid 1800 in real money and that's it, because I've accumulated some discounts and bonuses.
It's a standart 55 inches unit
yeah friend, I get that, I'm doing the exchange rate in my head since you said 1800 EUROS which is...what $1.15 to the dollar, think it was more a few years ago...
Same with the Q6F
Not as buffed as 9 series but I love it
Are projectors the easiest way to get into 3D content nowadays? Because there ain't a single 3D Tv on the market that isn't 2nd hand or 1080p...
Have money
no matter what TV you have anything you watch on Comcast will look like shit.
>Are projectors the easiest way to get into 3D content nowadays?
I know a few people who have them, imo not worth it uses you have the shekels and space for an actual small "theater" with screen and all. Like the kind Tony soprano has in his house.
I think if I won the lottery, that would be one of the first things I would spend my money on, a big fuck off giga expensive home theater, so I never have to sit on those sweaty ass chairs at the cinema's .
