Best 4K OLED TV on The Market

LAdrienBroner on 10/02/2019 - 15:14

Hi all,

I'm in the market for a new TV and the 4K oleds seem to be the best and latest tech in TVs.

Only issue is I can't make my mind up from the different manufacturers (LG, Sony or Samsung).

After any help in securing the TV I'm after, been saving a lot for this so I'm fortunate to have the appropriate budget.

The TV will mounted per the following URL - https://ibb.co/9n86bbB

The opening length is 166cm and height is 96cm. I should be able to fit a 70inch display, 75 will be pushing it.

Many thanks for reading!

    Panasonic OLED is meant to be good. Would definitely bend that way if our Panasonic plasma wasn't still going strong. :)

    panas a good picture but lousy company in au.

    sony a1 was good - dunno about the new model

      I went to Harvey Norman and I'm pretty sure they had that one and a LG type.

      Stock levels were poor on the Sony though.

      Decision to follow up on Sony stock was really made by the aesthetic look.

    OLED screens still utilise CPU power for picture processing, and motion interpolation, if that’s something you’re interested in utilising, in which case the Sony would be my choice, but I’ve not heard good things about their after-care support, but then again who does a good job these days anyway. But my bet would be on the Sony as one of the better panels.

      Aren't all the panels made by LG anyway?

        Yep, as far as I know they are made by LG, however each manufacturer uses their own software to drive the brains of the panel, and that’s where there can be a big difference between manufacturers. For instance when LCD was the norm LG typically used IPS panels, which have their pros and cons, but LG’s implementation of interpolation wasn’t that great, and similarly Sony and Samsung often used VA panels but again each of their software offerings differed a fair bit.

        Panasonic similarly had good software in their sets, but ultimately it depends a lot on the person buying and what features you like as well as cost. If someone is really never going to use BFI, interpolation features, etc then a cheaper set would be fine.

        It’s similar with cars, where you might have two manufacturers using the same engine designation, but you’d have one make with ‘better’ performance than another, say more power but worse fuel economy.

        LG’s offerings aren’t bad by any means, I just believe that Sony, and Panasonic might be slightly better.

      On Friday I had my 3 year old Sony tv repaired. It only had 12 months warranty, but they replaced the motherboard after I mentioned Australian Consumer Law.

      The service people were nice, but it still took 3 weeks to get a repairman out. Is that good? Hard to say. A TV shouldn’t really fail after 3 years, so it resulted in 3 weeks of wasted payments on Foxtel as well.

      The motherboard was swapped, and the repairman went off to his next job, which was doing the same replacement for someone else’s Sony TV. It’s a common problem apparently.

      I wouldn’t own another Sony TV based on this experience. I mean, shit does happen … but it has turned me off what was once a solid brand.

        I mean yes and no.

        Three weeks isn’t good, but then again getting joy out of a manufacturer seems to be like trying to get blood from a stone.

    Think outside the box. Seriously.

    The tv cutout doesn’t look very deep, so the mount will have any tv sticking out of the cutout won’t it?

    Can’t you then run any size tv?

    • AdrienBroner on 11/02/2019 - 14:17

      Have you seen the thickness of some panels? Some are ultra-slim, I'm not concerned by the depth of the cut out.

    LG E series

    A9F is simply the best.

    But industry to moving away from OLED at an astonishing rate if you look at CES. LG implementation of OLED is flawed.

      So what are they moving to if not OLED?

      • AdrienBroner on 11/02/2019 - 10:52

        Exactly, what is the new technology standard? Let me know before I spend my thousands.

          MicroLED, just like OLED but without the burn in and natural deterioration.

          But it will take a while for it to filter down to mass market at affordable price levels.

          • AdrienBroner on 13/02/2019 - 21:14

            @Ragnarok1983: Appreciate the information and response @Ragnarok1983

            Sounds like it's not an option in the near future.

              @AdrienBroner: Just get an OLED, these days TV and electronic update so quickly, if you get 7-8 years out of them you are doing very well.

    AFAIK LG is best for games, Sony is best for movies and Panasonic is best for sport. Samsung don't make OLED based TVs right?

    if OLED is a must, that means you take Samsung out of the equation, Samsung's TVs are QLED, not OLED.
