Looking to retire our 58” Panasonic 4K LCD into the lounge for the kids to use and now looking for a 65” OLED I think.

However, it’ll be used for football, PC & PS4/PS5 gaming by me, just random TV shows for the wife.

Should I be considering an OLED screen for gaming? Or is screen burn a thing of the past and no longer something to worry about?

Only looking to spend about £1500ish but there is some flexibility if needed. Don’t mind getting last years model either of it’s far better value for money.

Thoughts and recommendations please. :D
 
Anything that can be done if you do experience burn in? I take it that can’t be fixed under warranty?

Don’t mind stretching the budget for the right set.

It must have 4 x HDMI 2.1
 
Thanks chaps.

The kids are useless at turning things off and I’ve fallen asleep with the PC on before, perhaps an OLED isn’t such a great idea then.

Do any LED’s even come close to OLED performance? Seen QLED, Nanocell, are they pretty much all the same tech or is there a stand out alternative?

It's a non issue that even, can't comment on anything bar LGs oled but...

- screen saver activates after 5 minutes of inactivity
- ps 4 pro and PC dim right down to 0% brightness after 5 mins of inactivity (or screen saver if you have it turned on)
- can set a timer for the TV to turn of after 4 hours in inactivity

No LCD comes anywhere close to an OLED for sheer IQ.

That sounds promising. :D The inactivity settings automatic generally then?

Just as an example if a game was paused for two hours in the menu screen would it detect inactivity? Or is that when it’s likely to become damaged? It’s not an unlikely scenario in my house no matter how often I tell the kids to turn things off.
 
Really tempted to pick up a C9 TBH. Looks like the 2019 model is just about within my budget.

What’s it like for HD upscaled and 4K football?

Gaming sounds great and 4 x HDMI 2.1 is what I’m after too.
 
C9 is sounding more and more promising.

Just out of interest, has anyone any experience of the Phillips OLED’s? I know they all use the same panels but being a Hue user, I’m curious about their Ambilight tech. I do wonder if the TV performs as well as the LG models though.
 
Sounds like I should hurry up and track down a C9 then if the other manufacturers using the same panels don’t support HDMI 2.1.

Best I can see online is £1989.

Might just bite the bullet with John Lewis and pay the £140 insurance that covers screen burn.

It’d certainly give me a bit more peace of mind.
 
It was being discussed on AV Forums.

Well I’ve now ordered one from JL and taken out the 5 year cover for £140.

Don’t think I could have justified the purchase otherwise TBH.

Thanks for all the pointers. :D
