That means the 930 has dropped £200 since I last looked, just 2 months ago. Excellent.

Have to say that at present, I'm thinking of replacing my DILA projector with an OLED when it dies.

Secret_Window · 22 Jun 2016 at 13:18

Hopefully it will drop further over the coming months.

the wopster · 22 Jun 2016 at 13:40

If there are still some left you could find the 960/950 at about £1500 for Black Friday

Still too many niggles for me to get rid of my plasma.

I'll wait til they are sub £1K

Give it 18 months. Oled tv's be everywhere. And even then I don't expect a lot of native 4k content available either.

Racist.

The cracking up of oled production is a good thing. Can't wait for 40" versions

kona786 · 22 Jun 2016 at 20:42

Yeah I'm also hoping it's rife with competition in a couple years time when I'm due a new telly.

I'm hoping my Panasonic plasma carries on for another couple of years and by that time OLED will be more mainstream and affordable. When shopping for a cheap LCD for the kitchen I was amazed by the vibrance of OLED - granted they were all in shop demo mode, but still very impressive.

My only gripe is the stupid obsession with curved screens. Please please let this go the way of 3D sets.

Not to good if it doesn't support HDR, right?

That TV was £3,800 when reviewed at AVForums just over a year ago, Apr 2015.

Trojan Horse · 23 Jun 2016 at 19:01

According to AVF its going to be getting HDR through a firmware update in the future.

Nonetheless... popped down to Curries and got one!

Now I just need a cinema system... anyone tried the Cambridge Audio Aero 5.1 (£1k)?

hmmn, can't decide between the LG oled at 1800 or the Samsung 55 HDR LED at 1500...i sense the samsung is better for gaming..

OLED.

HDR is nice and all, but the OLED will still put out a better picture. Also, do you plan on running a 4k source? If not, forget HDR completely.

snow patrol · 25 Jun 2016 at 08:19

Probably won't be putting much 4k into it for at least a couple of years. So is this OLED 'good' for gaming. I'd rather 'good' than 'ok', if you see what i mean. Also, it's available without the curved screen?

No idea. Don't play computer games so not something I've ever paid any attention to. I do believe LCD are better though.

The LG curve is less extreme then the Samsung. You won't even notice it after a while. This years OLEDS are flat, but the entry model is nearly 3k.

snow patrol · 27 Jun 2016 at 08:33

I think I need to go and see them both in action. I'm leaning slightly more to the samsung...but is HDR only a worthwhile thing if you're putting a 4k source into it?

I won't be buying for another month...so i've got time to decide

If only the 65" screens were cheaper.

Zero regrets going from my Panny plasma to my OLED, especially since it's been calibrated.
