Cheaper than the last deal for some of these brilliant OLED Tv's.

Original eBay 20% off selected stores deal post

55" 1080p Curved OLED 55EG910T - $2142.40
55" 4k Curved OLED 55EG960T - $3590.40
55" 4k Flat OLED 55EF950T - $3590.40

I should mention that the Curved 4k models currently don't support HDR via HDMI without a hardware/FW upgrade which hasn't been confirmed in Australia yet. I think the Flat 4k models are superior.

  I have a 55" LG curved OLED and couldn't be happier with it.
  
  A few of my tech savvy friends have 4K curved Samsungs but I find the lower res OLED panel to look better for watching TV and Movies. After seeing the OLED they were actually a bit envious of the blacks and performance for darker movies.
  
  A 4K OLED wouldbe great but I don't have any 4K content to take advantage of the extra pixels and at 55" I don't see it as a necessity.

    I have a 2013 Samsung 8 series 1080p 55" (and 65") and i returned a 55" 4K LG OLED as it just was not bright enough in our living room to overcome recollections during the day. Be careful if you have a bright open plan area, OLED is NOT bright enough yet for some areas. Yes the blacks are great, and 4K content is great, but beware of placement.

      @tommyc: Yep, really. And i had quite a few good looks in different locations as my work gave away 4 of the 55" 1080P and i bought a 65" 4K for my parents and a 55" 4K for me.
      
      Inside a store they look awesome with good source material. Fed good old free to air TV they don't look great, thrown in a bright environment and they just don't cut it. A high end 1080p LED just looks WAY better (I'm not joking), with most material (FTA and streamed netflix)

  Search for LG OLED banding or tint and see if you can live with that. If you can it would be a great TV. Own this one for few months now and personally feel unhappy with the uneven tint. It is like a mixed warm and cold color temperature in one screen.

    Whilst LG currently have a monopoly on OLED panels owing to their manufacturing capability, they're still considerably behind rivals like Panasonic and Pioneer in terms of the image processing technology that drives self-illuminating panels. The other two have a headstart having invested years of development on plasma TV which translates well on OLED panels. Hence, using the same LG OLED panel, they should produce a much better OLED TV than LG.
  - Plasma on 05/06/2016 - 09:19
    
    Mine (930T model) had these issues initially but after 200 hours of break in, it's much improved. Also be wary of image retention in the first 100 hours or so…i had the Fox Sports logo burn in, but thankfully disappeared after running one of those Youtube videos with the flashing colours. To be honest i would break in any of these oled TVs as you would a plasma.

[Deactivated] on 05/06/2016 - 00:25

Two questions:

1)Will curved TV's be a passing fad? If not, what are the benefits to them?

2) Are LG better than they used to be? They used to be 'Goldstar' I believe and some of the LG stuff from 5 years ago was complete garbage. Are they pretty solid now?

Am a pretty loyal Samsung guy and have never been disappointed w/Samsung but the LG's are generally quite a bit cheaper.
Thoughts on above?
cheers guys!

  If you've got a proper entertainment room and you're sitting close, a 65" curved TV will feel like a 75" TV. In a real life family room environment you'd want a flat screen.

  1) Curved screens only provide a more immersive viewing experience if you sit in the sweet-spot within the recommended close viewing distance. Anyone who fails to clinch the best spot is going to have a second-class viewing experience.
  
  2) My comment above may be of interest to you.

  If you are going to go back far enough for LG to be garbage (which they were) they you are also gong back far enough for Samsung to be garbage. Back in the CRT days you couldn't buy either of them compared to anything Japanese, and all the early panels ended up on the side of the road after a few years.
  
  Having said that, it's been a long time, if you are happy with Samsung then LG isn't far off at all these days

    I worked in the TV/electrical dept at David Jones for 4 years during uni, and LG were by far, the worst TV's with warranty returns, black lines, faults etc. We had competitions on who could get rid of the LG giant TV's before they carked it on the showroom floor. Developed my Samsung love back then because they were always pretty good.

Seriously anyone who pays the extra 1500 for 4k with the lack of content out there is just chucking money down the toilet surely? Fair enough for a 4k flat tv but 1500 bucks extra for 4k is a joke, you could wait and just buy a 4k tv in a year or two for that. everyone should be made to calculate the actual amount of time they will get to watch 4k in total before handing over the money

  There is UHD content being released all the time, now UHD Blurays have been released combined with many of the streaming services producing UHD content as well, the library is growing, and growing rapidly.
  
  That being said, with HCP 2.2/HDMI 2.0 compliance basically screwing everyone over with panels older then 2015 makes you wonder what else they may do to 'force' people to upgrade.
  - Jackson on 05/06/2016 - 12:13
    
    Down at my 3 local Video Ezy Kiosks, I can't get a single 4k movie from hundreds of titles, and 3d isn't much better (there are 2). On Presto (which admittedly isn't the gold standard of streaming) the 'HD' movies, which aren't even FHD, they must be either 720p or 1080i I haven't checked, are so compressed that when you pause one it looks worse than standard def DVDs. We don't even need to go to free to air tv or freeview streaming services, they haven't even caught up to FHD. As far as games from people plugging their computers into their TVs, while I envy the fact that these people have large amounts of time to recreate, these people are still relative fringe dwellers to the gaming community let alone the TV using community. I know plenty of gamers, and not one that I know (fair enough it's a biased group, but still) is using a TV. The HDMI issues you mention are the icing on the cake. I'm not sure what the other sources of 4k content are but I expect they involve me being at the forefront of tech, which involves a vacuum cleaner connected to my wallet.
    
    So as mentioned, when it's $1500 and 40 odd % of the price in premium over FHD, I don't see how anyone without more money than sense (and there's a lot of people in that group, we live in rich times) can buy one of these when in a year it will be half the price, meaning you could have both of them.

      So your comment is based on 3 kiosks and a gimped streaming service? yeah ok.
      
      As you can see here via JB hifi UHD blurays are around, not a huge selection yet, but any AAA title is being released in UHD and older movies are being rereleased in that formnat.
      
      https://www.jbhifi.com.au/movies-tv-shows/movies/4k-uhd/
      
      Netflix has UHD shows for streaming
      
      So yes there is UHD content and that library is expanding, very rapidly, almost all movies/tv are shot in 4k now and are downsampled to suit, easier on content creators.

      )@Copie: It's not based on 3 kiosks, I actually called them after seeing bugger all in the local 3 and after getting some outstanding customer service every kiosk within 5km of me (about 15 kiosks) has SFA, along with all kiosks in another area 30km away that I spend a fair bit of time. I'm not making any assumptions here.
      
      What I am saying is how far is someone supposed to go? JB has a total of 26 movies, and 20 out of the 26 are between $35 and $50, not to mention that many are old, I've seen, and I wouldn't watch again just because they are in 4k. Then we haven't started on the fact that you need a 4k bluray player to provide the content, which it another cost into the hundreds. even if I wanted to watch all 26, I'd be paying (($1500+$450)/26)+35-50=$110-$125 per movie! I could take someone to Gold class for that!
      
      Apart from 4k Netflix, which again I can't opine on myself but if it's anything like what I've experienced on Presto it's not going to be as good as a proper FHD stream due to over compression (and will likely require an upgrade to my internet), and the only place I can find a list of 4k content is here and it looks like bugger all: http://www.finder.com.au/every-4k-program-on-netflix-aus which says it's up to date but not sure if it is, although some people say there is 4k content on Netflix but I can't seem to find what on their Australian site.

  Considering 4K blu rays are allready out, and Sony PlayStation 4K and Xbox 4K are due out in a couple of months, not to mention 4k content allready on Netflix and downloadable , it would be pretty retarded not to get 4K included as most people go on average 6 years before changing television…
- RocketSwitch on 06/06/2016 - 11:26
  
  I agree, not until 4K becomes a standard would it be worth it and only then it's by default. Unless you're sitting 30cms from the TV, you won't tell the difference in terms of movies. Gaming, there's small, but noticeable differences.
  
  In terms of the price, unless you have the money, well, you will get it. It's not cost effective, but if you don't mind spending the money, then it's always the better option, especially with console gaming entering the 4K tech soon.
  
  But is this the best price now for it?

      @tomwood: heh, actually I think they do. It's so weird because 95% of people buying a tv in that price range are the people who already have a nice amp and surround system.
      
      If you do chance upon a release date or Aussie shop selling them soon, pm me. :)

Hey guys, very tempted to get 55" FullHD version as the price is now within my financial reach. My only concerns are

It is curved

Some reviews mention noticeable judder

I went to the shop and it looks pretty amazing but then they play back their promo that is designed to awe.

Apart from watching movies and TV shows and occasional XBOX HD gaming… I do watch ice hockey, football (soccer type) and tempted to get it before the Euros, those who do and bought this unit already.. how do you find it?

And also it being FHD .. any regrets for not getting UHD in another brand for the similar or cheaper price?

  same here. Can only afford the older model but no way in hell would I get curved

  $2000 for 1080P OLED .. OLED being the key word.

    Could you imagine hearing $2000 for 55 inches of OLED just 3 years ago? I feel like Fruit isn't playing along at home.
