£1000 for a TV - 65" LED or OLED 55"?

willhub · 3 Jan 2020 at 16:00

In a conundrum,

I would like an upgrade from 55 to 65"
I would like OLED.

65 OLED out of my price range but 55 JUST in my price range.

I feel there is a potential for OLED quality and performance to outweigh the desire of a 65" screen.

I know an XF90 Sony Bravia is in my range but that's LCD.

Screen burn, is this a burning issue when it comes to OLEDS?

Had my OLED 3 years and no screen burn. Could not go back to LCD now even the best ones don’t look great to me. Grab a 55” OLED and sit a bit closer if needed....

Gaming or movies?

In the exact same boat. I keep reading recommendations for OLED but feel like I need 65'' and the price difference is quite large

My Neighbour has just got a Samsung Q90R and tbh even my ageing B6 OLED looks considerably better. I would save or wait a bit longer if 65” is a must waiting for this years OLED’s would be a wise move.

OLED, no contest.

55" OLED, maybe the Philips 754. It has it's own OS so you will probably want to use your own streaming box but it's about £989 with 6 year guarantee

What about if my girlfriend is watching hollyoaks and goes for a fag and sticks it on pause for 2 hours?

b00merang69 · 3 Jan 2020 at 18:52

Why would she go for a fag if she has a boyfriend? :confused:

Is the cigarette 200 feet long?

willhub · 3 Jan 2020 at 19:12

Roflmao, she goes on the balcony has a fag then if she comes in she might browse Facebook and before you know it the telle has been on pause quite a while.

Apparently that LG C9 is the bees knees?

Oh, and its Movies, Games and most importantly Coronation Street.

I would not buy a high end TV for Corrie, I would get rid of the G/F for having bad taste.

OLED, I went from a 9 year old Plasma to a LCD and altough it's good it's no where near the black levels of plasma and it upsets me.

I wish it'd went OLED.

b00merang69 · 3 Jan 2020 at 19:18

^^ Bummer but you know what they say about once you go black...

hornetstinger · 3 Jan 2020 at 19:18

I'm happy with my c9. Sometimes I do so graduation on colours ie on planet earth ii intro on earth space shot. And low nitrate as.

Wonder.if the Panasonic 950 has some issues.or.maybe sorted graduation

Screen saver will kick in or the brightness will drop to 0% automatically or at least that is how it works on LGs sets.

The LG has a built in screensaver.
After a length of time (not sure on the number) it activates a firework screensaver so its a non issue.
Go for OLED.

willhub · 3 Jan 2020 at 21:51

What about Windows, if listening to music as the task bar would cause burn no?

sideways14a · 3 Jan 2020 at 21:56

I have had my b9 for 7 months now and no burning or owt seen.
I use it everyday for hours on the desktop and windowed apps... no prob.

I went from plasma to plasma and then to Fald.

I had a modern GT50 as my last plasma.

The black levels on the Xf90 when dolby vision kicks in are insane you can't tell its an lcd.

The black bars are black
