There was something that turned me off the NU8000 - I cant honestly remember what it was , if Im thinking of the same one I seem to recall its over 2 years old and still quite expensive (I was looking at 65" version admittedly) and I was also worried about the HDMI version for 4k being that age...although if its for a gaming monitor this is not an issue at all.

I think its the same age as my 40" 6400 that I got really cheap for my office, which is perfectly fine there but few things about it annoy me if it was my main tv (mainly how the OS / smart tv functionality works)

NU8000 is a 2018 model and for the 65" it's £999
55" - £729
49" - £700

it's why it's the best VFM tv right now IMO.

thanks @Nexus18 for the extra explanation, appreciated, thats what I thought might be the case so TV's basically have more advanced screens.

You bought a LG panel rebadged

This discussion is like a round about. Same old guff.

There's only one choice if you care about Movies and gaming equally.

LG OLED

I recently upgraded to a 65"C8 from a 55" C6 and am still blown away by PQ.

Gaming session's some days +10 Hours. Only thing I noticed on the C6 was some slight IR when flicking from a bright yellow static image on menus to a grey screen. It cleared up in seconds or a flick to a different menu and back.

Only reason I upgraded was always wanted 65" but couldn't afford it.

If blooming, haloing and aggressive local dimming doesn't bother you then pick up a full array LED.

I would love an oled, however my next size will be 75" and i dread to think how much an oled of that size would be.

marginally more than a decent LCD of that size I would imagine

77" OLED are pretty cheap now

The LG 77" C8 is only £5,999 now

For that much you can almost get the 75'' 8K Samsung. At that size the increased pixel density is going to be a much bigger improvement than the benefits of OLED vs high-end LED.

theone8181 · 18 Nov 2018 at 15:06

Yea but theres a 75 inch lcd for £2500 on richer sounds (although i'm not sure how far up the model range it is).

how so? how much 8k content is there? none?

Do you understand how pixel density works? If not, go put a 40'' 4K TV next to a 1080p 40'' TV and get acquainted.

All I can think of is that you see huge grey bars on a 75" LCD...

In a brightly light room it would be fine but not in a dark room...

Give me 4k (heck even 1080P!) OLED over 8k LCD any day of the week.

Pixel density can not fix LCD's flaws i.e. halo'ing, blooming, back light bleed, low black depth, poor viewing angles etc. etc.

There are far more important things to IQ than just resolution......

Seeing is believing. Go check it out in person first.

no need to the pixel density of my phone is far superior to my wifes. however it makes zero difference. unless you hold it 3mm away from your eyes

all i am saying is if i had to decide between a better tv with worse UI and a worse tv with better UI. i would go with the better tv and buy a fire tv for £50

This gets back to the point that LG oleds are now using the word AI to attract people to buy them - LOL - they know their smartUI addicted market.

Anyway, if you are not watching TV in the dark -
( could not find the % of people that do but this is interesting How Bad Is It for Your Eyes to Watch Television in the Dark? )
then LCD dissenters should see a decent IPS screen, where the rhetoric halo/bleed/contrast/viewing-angle are not a problem .... it's a good job for LG that they have not
