Well, since they don't make their own TVs any more then you can rule out Sharp, Philips and Toshiba straight away. I would still class L.G. as a second division brand. They're still focussed heavily on price rather than performance.

Samsung, Sony and Panasonic each have their price-fighter products for the entry-level market, but all produce models further up the ranges that get closer to reference standard the higher you go. There is no outright winner since Panasonic stopped producing Plasma, so the answer then depends on which model you're looking at.
 
Which Panasonic, Samsung and Sony has pristine gradients? Absolute flawless as if it was a really good computer monitor. Plus, lucid do you know if such a TV exists that has black that will line up for 312/329? Even the LG OLEDs fall under the magenta/red or even green coordinates for black. Samsung always falls under blue for black and Sony, everybody I've read complains they lack an adjustable Colour Management System.
 
No. Only one part, black levels. Most Kuro owners on AVS with their calibrated sets have spoken of the poor uniformity on the OLEDs and how they spoke of the poor motion describing it as a fancy LCD.
 
Best Tv picture is in the eye of the beholder. I never pick a brand and go with it based on X Y Z. This goes for anything. I get what I can afford and the best that I deem of value. Names are for tombstones baby.

Wouldn't be so quick to rule out Toshiba - but you do need to do your research as they do sadly sell a lot of cheap rebranded stuff under the Toshiba brand as well as some better stuff.

Samsung generally just works for me but I find their products somewhat uninspiring of late a bit bland and while Sony have some cutting edge stuff they also seem to have a fair few niggles and/or quality issues.

One of the sony 4ks(x900c) had the best picture when i recently went to Currys. However, the light bleed was terrible.

Thats a massive problem with Sony is the light bleed , you would think they would have sorted this out by now , this is the one reason puts my off buying Sony again , i guess you get this problem with all brands

Yeah i accept that light bleed occurs on all LED/LCD but the level of bleed on the sony is unacceptable.

Only true in the subjective sense, and then only for that person. The next view looking at the same set might form an entirely different opinion.

There are a set of reference standards for the TV and film industry. Sadly very few 'beholders' have ever seen a good TV properly calibrated so they're not good arbiters of quality. If you want proof of that then look at the huge numbers of cheap (and not so cheap) TVs sold with over-contrasty over-sharpened over-colourful pictures that bear little resemblance to how things look in the real world.
