Find another 55" oled TV for less than a grand then please? :wink:

1080p oled looks better to me than 4k led.

Congratulations on today's most ridiculous comment comparing this with your prize asset a ..tesco blaupunkt.I hope you enjoyed fighting other customers on black Friday for you tesco tv.

'There on the stair'

Amazing

It is passive 3D. And picture settings do need to be adjusted to get a more natural picture.

Fair enough and though a bit suprising the key point is 'I found the picture more natural/realistic than the velvety look of the oled'; its all about picking what is best for you.

It might be valuable to some people to know that the lifespan of oled based on 5 hours a day use is 11 years. Fine for most but if your a real couch potato or have it on in the background all day you might want to consider that.

I found the picture more natural/realistic than the velvety look of the oled, I also liked that I could be closer to the TV and the detail is there. Like I said before it's like looking out of a window. I also wanted passive 3d which I don't think was an option with oled? I also don't spend that kind of money on a tv every couple of years, unless there's a miraculous advance in affordable technology I'll have it for the next decade so I wanted future proof and like it or not 4k is the future. As compression advances it won't just be streaming and blu ray we will eventually see broadcasted 4k.

Was about to buy this TV recently for £1300 at Selfridges so I think this is a good offer.

I decided to wait for 4K OLED to get to a decent price but in reality most content you will watch is going to be 1080p or lower so I don't think it matters so much.

Is this "faux K"?

glad to see all the hard work by the TV marketing industry promoting the suspect benefits of 4k is paying off...

You kinda contradicted yourself with that comment

This is a good price on this.

The common sense I suppose

So what was it in the 4k picture that made it more appealing than the oled picture?

​I don't think you can get a brand new for less than £1100 and that was the cheapest in John lewis few weeks ago with 5 years warranty. Richer sounds give 6 years. Moreover an open box is nearly new, just the box has been opened and resealed.

Cool story...

not new....x display ?

I did extensive research on what to get over my 49" LCD LED and this TV was the winner. No content for 4K yet, so that was out of question. The contrast and especially the blacks are absolutely mindblowing. Highly recommended.

I had people over who recently bought 4K TVs and they were shocked how crystal clear the picture is. Pop into a John Lewis and have a look at it yourself. They also price match it.

Personally I don't think 1080p is a bad thing on the contrary is better than 4K I mean don't you feel the 4K is too much? The Film industry is going back to old vintage lenses to improve and make more real the image and when I mean real is not quite the definition but light and colours I have a 4K tv and some movies are close to animation. For me this quest of improvement has only made image worst

Voted hot for OLED!
4K doesn;t really matter unless you've got 4K content and you're sitting close enough to the screen to notice a difference.

This sort of argument and non researched comments is going to run and run the same as the "it's not 1080" did when people used to post deals on 720 high end plasmas. The price is relevant to the technology and not the fact that it is 4k for the sake of it and to make people buy it because it is so.
People used to vote a good deal on a high end 720 plasma cold and a low end cheap 1080 hot. Just the way this site goes unfortunately. Do the research, read the reviews. Make your own judgements.
(Good deal by the way).

I'm ready to buy but the lack of comments has me concerned .

​my new 4K sammy is impressive too, but I still want oled.

standard and hd material will look better on a native 1080p tv, I always do side by side comparisons at home. Obviously I would not buy a 1080p anymore, depends also on the use people does of course. 2016 range is not any better for better picture on sd and hd

Tell that to my new sammy, amazing picture quality. Makes my 1080p panny plasma look shocking and I never thought I would ever say that.

Here is my LG EC930v in my bedroom when I first got it, there are black bars at the top and bottom of this film. The contrast is so good, they are not even visible to my camera....

4K is a pointless fad, it makes no notable difference. OLED has perfect blacks, excellent viewing angles and superb motion clarity.

This TV puts my last gen VT65 Panny Plasma in my living room to shame.... It would walk over virtually any modern TV apart from LGs latest OLED offerings ( OLEDB6V for example, at a cost of around £3000 )

Seems I hit a raw nerve, you still trying to sell yours on ebay? :smile:

Oled at this price and size is a no brainer ,forget 4K at the mo its the future the present is were we are for general viewing.

I haven't seen a poor 4k TV so I don't know about the colour accuracy and vibrancy on them but I can assure you I'm not falling for any marketing, I looked at the picture on a lot of tv's before I chose mine.

Some sources automatically feed interlaced, some home camera recordings and streams etc but you can purchase calibration discs with tools to feed different signals. I.e Spears and Munsil has some good test footage for both 1080p and 1080i.

I'm talking about viewing under appropriate conditions not sitting too far away or in a bright room, if your going to do that then why waste a grand anyway. I suppose everyone has their own preference as to what looks good but for me clarity (resolution) is what makes it realistic and that's what you get with 4k. The contrast and brightness is improved with oled but not enough to outweigh the clarity of 4k. I suppose actually it depends what kind of things you watch.. My LG won't make cartoons or coronation Street look any better but put on a wildlife documentary or a scenic film in 4k and you'll know what I'm talking about.

so unless you sit within 6ft of a 55" 4k screen you won't gain anything over a 1080p resolution assuming perfect vision. oled in my opinion is the better tech to pay for, you'll notice the deeper blacks and better colours no matter your distance. for reference http://uk.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-size/size-to-distance-relationship.

Not true the new 4K 2016 tv's look better!

​I asked for six year warranty and they were a bit reluctant but eventually gave it. They tend not to give it. You got to ask for it to get it.

​What???

How did you get the 6 yr warranty for a clearance item - did u ask or did they offer?

blacks, colour accuracy and vibrancy all play a part - not point in having a poor 4k TV - so yes 4 OLED is better but costs allot more for little or no decent 4k content. You are falling for the marketing....

this is the best to watch 1080p videos at his native resolution.

​more of an evolutionary step then? simple marketing? fools gold?

​course it can. you know nothing about size of screen or viewing distance that he was using, image quality, contrast, brightness is much more important regardless.

everyone jumping on the 4k wagon, it's not the next big thing, regardless of what content is there, resolution isn't as important for watching TV as it is for gaming.

Read up on OLED before making silly statements like that. This is the poor performing 1st gen set from LG, even a Tesco LCD Blaupunkt effort would beat this.

A feeble 4x sharper than HD is hardly what anyone could define accurately as a "jump". :innocent:

Not worth it in this day. Brilliant set but it's 1080p.

1080p oled looks better to me than 4k led.

In my opinion, at the moment oled is better in terms of contrast and black levels. I have owned a 4K tv and used it for a month. I have seen both standard and 4k content, House of cards and Narcos on a 4K tv. After buying oled, I played 1080P content on it, personally I can't tell the difference between 4k content on 4k tv and 1080p HD content on this oled in terms of quality of the picture except in oled "black is just black". There is halo effect around text in all 4K tvs but not in oled. Standard tv content looks the same on both.

​I'm saving for a lg 4k oled only problem it's nearly £3000

That shows your age!!! :smiley:

This has a 41ms input lag. Any (PC) games this cant handle?
:confused:

Where

I have this model, knocks the socks of most 4k Tvs. I demoed about 40 tvs and decided on this as most everything is 720p sky or 1080p,
Black is ink black, colours are stunning.

I'd rather get a non-oled 1080p for a lot cheaper and save up for a oled 4k. That's what I meant by throwing good money after bad. If you want to spend £1000 on an open box of old tech, I'm not gonna stop you.

Too expensive for 1080p. Not worth it.

Nearly £1000 for a 1080p? Granted it's OLED, but still. Seems a bit like throwing good money after bad! When they're not even new!

Heat added for the Oled, it's just a shame it's not 4K.
