A24 4,349 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Somebody here is selling his 65" LG OLED 4K screen for 2500 Euro because he wants to buy a 77" OLED. When he bought it in 2016, it costed him 6999 Euro. 46 minutes ago, Stefancos said: Too skinny! Didn't they learn anything from Samsung and Apple?

publicist 4,643 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Again, this seems like the guys from Hifi-Forum who sit naked in an empty 500 square meter room and only listen via gold-anodized cables: most of the time you will not watch 8K 'Avatar' blus or even want to. Now the blacks and colors are probably slightly better but to what effect? Do i really care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Get a good HDR capable LED set and your blacks would be black as midnight on a moonless night. That's not even controversial, it's a fact. Quintus - cares about the plight of blacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,349 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I thought the effect was quite clear, pubs, especially the blacks and the angle viewing, much more clear than the difference between gold plated connections and non-gold plated ones. It already showed on the youtube video. Imagine the difference when you see it in your living room. Personally, I'm hoping that the texture of the image will be more like film and less like video, which is the feeling I always have when I see the LED screens in the stores.The backlighting technology seems to be responsible for that. However, like Plasma, OLED doesn't have backlighting. To be honest, I'm perfectly happy with Plasma, but they don't make 'm anymore so ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 It's basically a big fat lie to sell more tv sets. Wait 5 years and - if we live to see that day - Oled will be forgotten for another, even more outrageous picture revolution. I now watch the Jaws blu on my tv set and it looks brilliant. How many shades of brilliant do i need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,349 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I dunno, I've seen people in the store drooling over the worst kind of picture quality and most people I know believe cinema projection has the best possible IQ in the world. This made me think that many people aren't always that difficult when it comes to sound and images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I don't think about other people. They believe in all kind of silly things but i neither intellectually nor aesthetically can understand what's 'wrong' with the LED screen i have right now which looks quite brilliant with the right material but often enough the source isn't good enough, anyway (like certain streams or badly mastered movies). So again, there may be a discernible difference when i watch a 500Mio.$ mastered-to-death movie like 'Avatar' (and even there only in spots) but most of the time, why bother?

We have so much sonic and visual information throw at us, and I'll wager that 99℅ of it is utterly superfluous. In choosing what I wish to engage with, I prefer a hard, to a soft filter. Sometimes I need less choice. I need the ability to choose, taken away from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,349 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hmm, I'm not sure, fellas. I saw an LG OLED today and Burton's Alice Through The Looking Glass was playing on it. Yes, sharp, contrast, deep colors, ... and yet, it still looked like high quality 'video' to me. I want a screen where the image feels like film. Plasma did that. I don't see it with LED ... and now OLED it seems. Maybe it's Burton's film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,349 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Jees! Whether it's Burton or Burton's wife or not is not important, folks. Is it the movie that looks and feels like it's video? Or is the OLED technique still too close to LED? I would like to find out by taking a Blu-ray with me. Most TVs are connected to a TV channel (one signal distributed over many screens) or some have a special supersaturated HD 4K demo playing. None of that means anything to me. I wanna know how 2001: A Space Odyssey looks on a TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
