IS 4K OLED WORTH IT?

I have a home cinema setup with an LG 77" W8 OLED 4K TV and it's really great.
I haven't updated to a 2019 model yet since I'm waiting for the absolute beast that is the 88" Z9 OLED 8K TV that is coming this year.
It will also support NVIDIA G-Sync.

Unfortunately, LG OLEDs don't support HDR10+ but they do support the superior Dolby Vision.
Samsung supports HDR10+ but not Dolby Vision.

couldnt have said it better. based and c8pilled

If you won't use it much, yeah. The screens are delicate in that the blue will fade faster than red and green (eventually leaving you with a yellowed display), uneven aging and image retention is pretty severe with burn-in becoming permanent after just a few hours.

They don't even make TVs that aren't at least 4K.
So what you're really asking is if it's worth to buy a new telly. The answers depends on you.

Is this true?
The most important thing is to get a big dick energy sized TV. Size > middling details, as long as it’s not apsulute shit size> rest

No it's not. They actually build in this pixel refresh thing that helps you make sure that it doesn't burn in and that the quality stays nice.

They are more prone to burnin than most tvs, but unless you just have a still image on for an entire day or something, it probably won't burn in. Basically, just don't be retarded.

You are by far the most retarded idiot on Yea Forums right this minute.

Yes. I have a Q900 by samsung for the 8k, had the 90 but returned it for a long story of reasons (I wanted the 8k since I already have a Sony projector for 4k near the room the 90/900 would be in).

But my c9, that used to be a c8, that used to be a Sony a9, etc. Is the best TV I have had. The LG C9 is also getting Gsync at 1440p/120hz very soon.

If I want movie theater experience I use my Sony projector, if I want anything else I use my OLED in my office or my ultrawide monitor. The 8k is more for my fiancees office. I can't recommend the OLED more. However Sony OLED seem to have more delay. if you game even though they are LG panels.

Top end led seems to be getting close enough to be nearly indistinguishable with the advantage of higher brightness. A vizio quantum x 75" for instance, the price is inarguable compared to a 77" lg oled.

It is incredibly hard to burn something into a tv. Far harder than a phone. I would love to see someone burn a current OLED with daily or even extended use, that isn't going out of their way to burn it.

No, I have a top end LED. The local dimming needed for HDR on LED is only so good. You can see halos around shit all the time, even with the 900 8k. It also kills small details like stars.

Buy it from costco and use it for a few months, if you don't like it just return it

What's better, OLED or Plasma?

Better yet, buy two you want and compare them both at your house

Dude how much money do you make in a year?

Plasma, but OLED retains less

keyword nearly, its 2.5x less for like 98% of the quality at living room distance.

fucking yes

i literally did this EXACT thing when I bought my C8, by the next month I was on that Ultra Netflix plan. made me so grateful for my Amazon Prime, marathoned all of those BBC nature docs, mostly just marveling at the quality.

seriously it can turn something as simple as chappelle performing comedy or some lame sitcom into kino just because of how excellent the picture quality is. at this point 1080p is the lowest quality i can endure, and even then it turns my stomach a little. 4k hdr on an oled just ruins everything else for you.

YAAAAS
As someone who just bought a discount LG C8, it has profoundly changed my Yea Forums life. But anyone thinking of buying, should know that the TV will show far more imperfections on broadcast tv to the point where you will start to hate, and even despise normal tv. You’ll need to either go for the highest tier Netflix subscription plan or Amazon prime to really enjoy Dolby Vision and 4K. Also a decent broadband plan would be great too. Anyone thinking of buying an LG Oled tv should watch David Attenboroughs Our Planet on Netflix first, and make sure you have the highest tier subscription plan. Watching the intro of that documentary series will do more than anything to show you that both Oled and Dolby vision is truly the future. I couldn’t believe how realistic those footage looked. Watching it in my lounge room with my lights turned off made me feel like I was staring at a window to an amazing world. The Ocean/coral reef scenes are greatest nature footage I’ve ever seen.

Yes

>at this point 1080p is the lowest quality i can endure, and even then it turns my stomach a little.

Thats the AIDs, not the definition.

Whoops...Deleted comment

>when you play Nintendo Switch games on a 4k OLED tv and realize how absolutely trash this console's graphics are.

I mean I still enjoy the games but literally everything looks so low res, I gotta stand far back and take my glasses off to even enjoy it.

I think that was the point where I was shocked, that I could take my glasses off watching 4k movies on this thing and everything still looked amazing.

So would people say the C8 is the TV to go for around that price? The other one I had my eye on that costs about the same is the Panasonic

if you have a good graphics card you can play 4k nintendo games with cemu

no one cares. i can't suddenly decide i want to play the game in bed or take it outside or something. I can't snuggle up to my girlfriend watching her dumb sitcoms while I play fire emblem. I can't play botw with detached joy-cons and motion control aiming.

everyone who talks about emulating switch games does not understand the entire point of owning a nintendo switch and never will.

I have a 2070 GTX and I love my Nintendo Switch more. Honestly haven't played a game on PC in almost a year, mostly just play Switch or my PS4 Pro. might buy doom eternal on pc but that will literally be the first pc game I've bought in a very, very long time.

wait for microLED

LG are the ones that make the panels so if someone is selling it at the same price after buying the panels from LG they've probably cheaped out on processing or something

>burn in problems
>literally baked-in planned obsolescence

Fuck OLED. I'm not going to pay a premium price for a product that's going to an hero after a while by design.
Also 4K is a meme for TVs. In all likelihood in a typical living room setup you're going to be sitting too far from the screen to be able to see a difference from the higher resolution. Not to mention that all the "4K" streams are cucked anyway from low bitrate, so you might as well just watch a decent 1080p bluray/rip and it'll look better.
4K has merits for PC monitors where you're sitting close enough for it to matter, but not for TVs.

What are you talking about user? You obviously haven't seen real 4k talking all that bullshit. Why even post?

It's 4k, not 4K.

It’ll take a good decade or two until a gook finds out a way to mass manufacture micro led tech on the big screen. The only way those like Samsung are able to create their cinema tier half a million dollar micro led displays is by individually assorting hundreds of thousands of tiny LED light bulbs, which is why they’re only meant for niche commercial purposes

Whilst monolithic GAN on silicon microled tech can easily be scaled, but the screens will be no more than an inch or two wide due to the fact that the tech borrows a lot from the semiconductor industry. Which will mean that you’ll see true blacks/extra bright/unlimited contrast images only in AR/MR glasses for the foreseeable future. Oled is the only high end choice for TVs for at least the next decade unfortunately.

Am wondering if they ever made a 4k plasma television, even as a demonstration model.

nintencope.

tcl 8 series mini led comes out in like a month.

>Fuck OLED. I'm not going to pay a premium price for a product that's going to an hero after a while by design.

That's what they said about plasma and mine is still going after 12 years,

I've seen far too many people with completely fucked burnt-in OLED phone screens after just a year or two to ever bother with that shit.

I thought OLED in phones was different from the TV screens?

A phone screen's experience is nothing like a TV

it's still the same technology with the same problems.

but the experience is leading to the problem. A TV has nowhere near as much static imagery to cope with

1) I want to be able to use a screen for multiple things, including games and PC shit where static UI elements abound. Without having to worry about this
2) The problem isn't just from static imagery. Static elements just make certain parts of the screen burn-in quicker than others. Even if you're purely watching stuff that won't cause one area of the screen to burn in quicker than another, the organic nature of OLED is still slowly deteriorating with use. The entire image over time will still get darker, colors will still get distorted eventually, and so on. I'm not going to buy something like that where it's fundamentally flawed with an expiration date.

Worth every penny, yup

I have a C8 too. Bought it last month at a good price. I'm definitely not going to the cinema ever again.

one of my friend's got a top of the line lg oled about two years ago and it was severely underwhelming after hearing things about it like in this thread

no, don't know the model or whatever, just that it was huge 4k oled and it didn't look very much different from other tvs

isn't this kind of weird that this is on 4k

This post may sound like a meme but it's absolutely true. Not even movie theaters can compete with OLEDs in picture quality. I honestly couldn't even imagine that movies can actually look this good. Even old ones that always looked like blurry mess look like they were shot yesterday on an OLED tv in 4k. It's fucking amazing, and in a few years we will have affordable microled tv's on the market, which have all the advantages of an OLED without any disadvantages, and more. Kino is back on the menu, boys.

I think it's just more for historical purposes and preservation. It's played in a lot of schools and honestly it deserves it.

What was he watching on it though? You can have the best tv on the planet but with no source material it may as well just be a 5 year old 1080p. If you weren't watching legit 4k blu rays then you never really seen it.

poorfag cope

panasonic picture is better than LG's, their OSD and application support is not as good as LG's but who gives a fuck about those

Imagine thinking any pathetic NEET incel on here can Afford one

4K is a meme

When my plasma finally takes a shit I will probably end up getting a QLED from Samsung.

no, unless you're doing workloads like video or image editing you don't need higher than 1080p. especially since there's hardly any 4k media.
however some ultra wide monitors that are higher than 1080p would be ideal for movies since they are the correct aspect ratio and so no more black bars or stretched video.

/g/ here.
Nope. See this
We won’t be able to scale up microled for TV purposes in the foreseeable future, but we will have cool as fuck microled powered waveguide AR glasses in about 3-5 years. Apple is investing in it for their AR purposes.

>Be a noble anti pleb plasma fag

>Dont fall for the decade long LCD hype created by corporates who don’t want to invest in commercialising an objectively better product, and who would prefer thirdworlders to make their shitty panels

>Hold up buying inferior Chinese built backlitshit LCD for more than a decade
>Fall for the marketing deception by going for LCD 2.0

Don’t be stupid. Buy superiOled.

why would you buy a gimmick?

Look at this faggot, doesn't know all electronics made now has an expiration date.

Do the LG's still let you stream MKV's from a hard drive? So many great vintage shows that will never be in 4k and I don't want to leave those behind (Futurama, etc)
