Was checking out prices of OLED TV's and noticed the LG B8 65inch for a good price at JB Hi-Fi.

I tried to order one with delivery but it would not allow me to continue so will try instore later.

Looks like selected areas but maybe try call your local stores and see if they have stock or even try price match with other stores.

Website currently shows only two stores* stocking this item: Tamworth (QLD), Rockhampton Stockland (NSW).

* Call your local store to confirm. (There may also be stock available even if it doesn't show up on the website.)

          I think they have pros and cons. Obviously plasmas can't hold anything to 4k OLED, and they never got HDR or HDR capable. Otherwise I agree. Although some things look FAR better on OLED, like the movie Gravity as an example. In fact most dark movies look far better. Sports is the only thing that OLED still isn't perfect at. Considering Plasma can't do 100% blacks like OLED can also.

            @billy_bob: I'm on the same boat as you. 65 inch Panasonic St50 from 2012 and its still going strong. Advantage of plasma over Oled are near black performance, uniformity and the most important of all is motion. Nothing beat plasma when it come to motion and that's the most important aspect of a TV. Having said I'm looking forward to this year Panasonic Oled. Heard alot of positive about their GZ oled series. If the price is right I might bite.

    • TEER3X on 18/07/2019 - 16:08

      Oled has infinite black as well, you probably need to see a Sony TV with oled (lg panel of course), a high end plasma tv still looks great only until you watch Planet Earth 2 in 4k hdr

      I think lcd is catching up and is actually better than oled in some respects. Obviously oled is still king.

      Microled will be the next game changer.

      Oled will go the same way plasma did.

    Great price, the 55" for $1500 was a steal too. This TV is amazing but you have to check the panel thoroughly for any defects as some people have dead pixels and banding.

    • richmond12 on 18/07/2019 - 15:05

      Whats banding?

    • Wombatstew on 18/07/2019 - 15:23

      I have this tv and the panel does have very noticeable “warpage” of the panel along the bottom edge (when looking at screen from an angle it is like a fun house mirror in sections). Doesn’t impact the front on view and everything else about this tv is amazing. I upgraded from a Panasonic plasma which still had decent pic but I wanted bigger and newer features, oh and oled. Got mine for $2348 from jbhifi.

      The LG process was a joke. After messing me about and never getting back to me, the finally said that “different tvs have different features” and since it displayed the picture fine they would not do anything. Jbhifi were awesome and basically said LG are wrong and helped me out. They did try to swap it (even sent round installers to my house with the new one) but next tv had similar issue, albeit less. They said I could take the Swap, get a refund, or they would give me a gift card and I keep my one. Not going to find a similar quality for this price so Ended up keeping and got a $200 gift card.

      Even the wife who was against the purchase now thinks it was a great idea to upgrade.

          I can't speak for all OLED panels, but as someone who owns a B8 and a regular UHD TV its like night and day.

          They are expensive but I couldn't vouch for them enough. If you are a big TV watcher OLED is a significantly better experience and you'll struggle to go back.

          I was casually strolling through a department store last year and couldn't look away from a TV in the distance as it just looked special. I had to take a closer look and it was the latest OLED LG. A proper step above all the other TVs in the store!

          That's not how it works at all. The retailer is required to handle warranty claims on behalf of the customer for the stated 12 months. ACL status warranty claims after that would have to go to the manufacturer

      if you have the content (bluray player that supports HDR), Netflix premium (UHD/HDR), PS4 Pro/XBONEX or PC games with supported HDR games and GPU, etc. Yes

      otherwise generaly day-to-day TV will have minor differences but wont be extremely noticeable.

      OLED is as overrated as iPhones and Huawei cameras. Make sure you see it in person before buying.

    • asubtleviolence on 18/07/2019 - 20:02

      I can't tell you whether it's 'worth it' - that's entirely down to your financial circumstances, how much you'd use it, what you're going to watch on it and what you value/appreciate.

      I upgraded to an OLED last year from what was, for its time (2011), a fairly high-end LED LCD TV, and the difference is very noticeable to me. Stuff still looked really nice on my old TV (and I still use it in the bedroom), but the OLED was definitely a jump up. 4K vs 1080p is a nice bump in quality if you sit close enough to notice, HDR is a gorgeous addition and I love how clean and crisp blacks look (my biggest gripe with my old TV was backlight bleed and greyish blacks). It's just a beautiful-looking TV.

      I haven't done a comprehensive side-by-side comparison against 2019 era 4K HDR-compatible non-OLED tech so I won't badmouth other TVs, but I know love my OLED TV. It was a luxury purchase, so I wasn't really looking for the best 'bang for buck' going in, I just wanted the nicest-looking TV I could get my hands on.

      If you have a source for 4K HDR content (Netflix, Prime Video etc are adding more all the time, plus there's UHD Bluray) and maybe like to play games, you'll see a noticeable bump in quality. But if you primarily watch broadcast TV or standard def stuff like DVDs, I really wouldn't bother upgrading. And if you're still happy with your current TV, there's nothing wrong with waiting a while longer (tech gets better and cheaper all the time).

      • Ethan Bargain-Hunt on 18/07/2019 - 21:50

        Sound advice. I've got a Phillips 40 inch TV from like 10 years ago and a Samsung 40 inch from like 5 years ago and they hold up well for my uses. As a cinema student, I am looking at something that will give me those crisper blacks (I'm actually even considering 4k projectors), but it's not a must right now so I'm holding out for Micro-led as I'd be using it a lot and I just can't trust that I could maintain an OLED without having issues with it after heavy use. Hopefully they'll sort this by the time Micro-led comes.

      • Securityclearance on 19/07/2019 - 01:31

        iTunes on Apple TV is the best source imo

    • pformag on 18/07/2019 - 21:25

      LED is brighter, so unless you are putting the OLED in a home theatre that can be dark it won't be great. Also OLED has terrible reflections. Don't use it in an open plan space. Even during the day it reflects everything.

      I switch from OLED to QLED, as my house is open plan and never been happier.

      Rtings.com is a good site to look at 1st

      • Whisper Quiet on 19/07/2019 - 11:31

        Exactly this! OLED are great in a dark room. Preferably home theatre setup. Because that's where they maximise their strengths… The blacks which help with great contrast. If you're in a bright room OLED has a glossy glass screen so everything is reflected on it, a high end LED will be better. But make sure it has high brightness nits (Check Rtings for specs) Sony X9000F or X9500G, Samsung Q7 and up. The rest of the models either have IPS panels so bad brightness and contrast or average brightness with the superior VA panels. Also don't bother with OLED unless you have alot of 4K and HDR content available.

        • Ryballs on 19/07/2019 - 13:04

          I agree with everything except needing 4K content. Reckon in a dimly lit room my 5 year old 1080p OLED still beats most 4K LCDs out there. High contrast ratio makes everything look better regardless of resolution.

          • Whisper Quiet on 20/07/2019 - 04:57

            @Ryballs: So just what I said… You need a dark room. Upscaling isn't as good on the LG compared to Sony that's why 4K content is needed. Resolution isn't everything but with new HDR colour gamut and huge brightness improvement there's a big difference
