Hello guys!
Im on my way to finaly swap out my old LG plasma and as topic says; witch are the best for gaming as motion handling goes ?

I have read what feels like thousends reviews on both Tv's and every reviews seems to praise the LG-OLED!
But many ppl on forums e.x says the motion blur/handling aint that good, especially if you are coming from a plasma, is that actually right?

I absolutely hate motion smearing/blur. So please help me out guys what I should choose (or any other telly besides those two mentioned)

I will game with both PS4 Pro and a Pc!

Best Regards!

Those people probably don't have OLED's

As they say, the lack of motion blur isn't great for movies though, as it can manifest as stutter in panning shots.

OLED tech is supposed to be super-responsive, lots more so than LCD. I'm gonna go for one for my PC I think

It is indeed, pixel response it determined by processing speeds and speed of electrons between anode and cathode.

LCDs rely on the time it takes the molecules/crystals to align properly

Just don't run a static desktop image on it, because that will give you image retention...

I use mine for PC gaming, but it's setup as my second screen and uses 'Extended' desktop. I also have a range of Windows backgrounds that cycle every 2 minutes.

Not seen motion blur at all on my OLED B7, used it for gaming, watching football and some F1.

Yup, hide taskbar and run a Screensaver too after 2/3 mins. Some people suggest an all-black screensaver

Alright great to hear guys, and thanks a lot for you's input

Yeah thats what I thought about OLED - no blur at all. But the strange thing is that some says their is (blur/smearing). Maybe it it when you only game at 60 fps?
Some says it's NOT as fast or good as Plasma/CRT with that clean motion.

I have a good monitor: Acer 27 144hz TN g-sync. Can you say that that motion is as good as that when using ULMB ?
If so then OLED would really be the perfect TV for me

Or else I just might bite the bullet and wait for the 2018 OLED Tv's, as they will besides be better also have 120hz at 4k (or so they say)
I know that I can atleast get 120hz for pc gaming on the B7 in 1080P, but how fun is that LOL!

Thanks again guys, appreciated!

some good deals on the xe9 in the UK now for ~£1k, 55"
I guess bowing to the LG oled marketting message(they have upped their game across phones&tv's) and oled price reductions
