OLED and move your sofa, 4m is bloody miles away. Or get a projector aswell.
i've not seen an LED better than my Panny plasma, so yea you're right.......the LED only looks better (argueably) because it's on 4K so it's a sharper image. if there was a 4k Panny plasma around now, it would be MILES BETTER than any LEDComing from plasma, an OLED is the only sensible choice.
Now some of you might be thinking at this point that 4000 nits is already way too bright (never mind 10,000 nits), but consider this: the ambient brightness of a sunny day with clear blue skies is between 7000-10,000 nits (between 3000-7000 nits for overcast skies and indirect sunlight). 10,000 nits is also the typical brightness of a fluorescent tube - bright, but not painful to look at.
The natural world has a much broader range of color and brightness than current broadcast TV, Blu-rays, and Cinema systems support. A bright sunny day can have specular highlights that reach over 100,000 nits. Direct sunlight is around 1,600,000,000 nits.

A good example of what I was talking about too, I’d be wearing sunglasses in that scenario in real life or I be squinting. The 300k nits location would leave a burn on my retina for at least a few seconds (much like glancing at the 10k nit fluorescent tube does).
It’s probably worth mentioning that much like eyesight different peoples eyes are more sensitive to light than others. Those with light coloured eyes (blue, grey, green) are generally more sensitive to light than those with dark eye colours. That is mitigated, in part, by pupil dilation.
Which leads on to the next point. What we are in fact discussing is dynamic range and contrast, not brightness per se, because the eye regulates the pupil based on available light. That means if you’re in a darker room then you don’t need the same actual brightness to see the same relative effect (your pupil will just change size to average it out).
And that is why having truly black blacks makes a difference. Depending on the ambient light in the tv is sat in you don’t need anywhere near as much brightness to get the same contrast and dynamic range.
Edit: And which link are you talking about?
you mean you don't want HDR to be 100% accurate to the sun when watching "sunshine"

I "upgraded" my Panasonic 55" VT50 Plasma in 2014 to a 58" Panasonic AX802b LED, and it wasn't an upgrade at all. Wish I'd not jumped on the 4K train so early, but lesson learnt.
I've had my 65" B6 OLED for a year now and it's a true successor to Plasma. It's by far the best TV i've ever had and there was no buyers remorse.
It’s a shame they didn’t test the Sony OLED with it as presumably it has the same processor.
I may be a bit bias as I just picked up the 65” B7 this morning. I’m not sure how a 75” would fit into the average UK living too!
