      How do these compare to other big brand TVs which are selling for less than half the price?

        @msjb:

        Yes, the ones I'm talking about aren't OLED. The question I'm trying to ask is, how much of a difference do the technologies impact the user experience and does it scale proportionally to the price?

        @ronnknee: Night and day to my eyes. I just spent the past few weekends staring at TV's.

        I ended up buying the LG C7T for $2800 on Saturday after trialing the LG, Sony and Panasonic OLEDs (they finally had the Sony A1, which I have been waiting to compare against the LG). All are incredible sets, OLED is far superior, and will only get better as the tech matures.

        @ronnknee: OLED is a massive improvement to image quality and the question is like asking how long is a piece of string.

        OLED will be significantly cheaper in the future.

        @ronnknee: OLED spoils the planet for you. ie: everything is more ideal or something, and less real. The actual world, looks plain and washed out. Thats my assessment of OLED, its too bright, too much colour. You can likely adjust it, but none of the stores do and I wont buy anything that I have to get home first to find out.

        That and Pana OLED when you place your phone camera on a black section of screen turns the phone screen blue. Place it in a black section of an LG OLED and the phone screen stays black suggesting the Pana doesnt get as dark and the phones cam is reacting to the light. Or so it would seem, maybe there are other reasons for that.

        @ronnknee:

        If you're sitting directly in front you can get by with a QLED or some other reflective panel lcd but as soon as you move off centre you would be better with OLED.

        A lot of people have open plan living and want to see the tv from kitchen / dining room or rectangular rooms with people viewing from quite wide angles. Never a good scenerio for LCD.

        @Tuba: Most of the demos they show in stores, along with the settings used to show them, are over saturated to grab your attention much like real estate agents tend to do to photos for house listings. Being able to display the colour with greater vibrancy, OLED is more capable of this exaggeration. When calibrated and watching real content that isn't heavily stylised, you will find OLED is far closer to real life. That being said, lots of directors apply post effects to give a movie a certain look or feel, and these will probably also show a more pronounced effect, whether that is a good thing is entirely subjective. You can certainly make an OLED look washed out for this content, but that would be like turning on noise reduction for the walking dead, and would only act to kill the vibe intended by the content creators.

  Panasonic website RRP are always inflated, just like Sony. Their prices in stores drop immediately. Launch prices like these would never be symbolic of prices in the months after.

  Also Panasonic are dreaming trying to charge that, they've lost their premium status, need to start again with these OLEDs.

      I'm curious - is there any reason you only post Panasonic deals? Are you a big fan of the product/brand?

      Not intended to offend just genuinely interested.

        Their plasma TVs won tv of the year for many years and only lost to due to the stopping of the manufacturing and also the first oled release
        So basically Panasonic recently were always releasing the best TVs in the universe and still a high end Panasonic plasma from 2012 would beat a brand new $9000 LCD TVs from 2017 in image quality

        @chromium:
        For me mine would have to be broken and unfixable, or an OLED would have to be so much better - 4K, 100 inches plus, $4k. Which probably won't be happening any time soon!

      I'm not denying they are good, but for the past few years Panasonic has been hopeless, ever since they gave up on Plasma (which I've had many of). They should never have charged so much to begin with.

  The best way to describe OLED is that it is the natural successor to Plasma.
  I have an old Panasonic 42" which we bought back in 1998. I still prefer the picture quality of my Plasma to most LCD Tv's out there today: It has better blacks, skin tones and viewing angles. The colours just look right. It also has handles motion in a more natural way without all this 10 billion Herz nonsense.
  I have looked at this new Panasonic and it a beauty to behold. All the qualities of a Plasma as described above brought forward to today. My next purchase will be an OLED for sure.

  why these tvs are ridiculous expensive in Australia? Just because this funny country are isolated by the ocean that this retailer can rob money from people on the continent? I checkout on the Amazon US website that the same model of Sony, e.g 55X800e (55x8000e in Auzzie), their price are half of the one (not RRP in Australia). So envy for US guys!!!!

  OLED still hasn't hit the pricing sweet spot like LED has.

  Once several brands have OLED models competing then the pricing competition should kick in and we will be in business…

  Eg. 65" OLEDs are going for $2-3K above the same 55" models….hilarious pricing for an extra 10 inches of black :)
