OLED .....not yet guys !

dont bitch on my thread please :cool:

i've just read about the OLED VS THE PANNY Plasma and the OLED wins relatively easily, so this tells me the OLEDs i saw were poorly set up ... which is pretty normal for Currys :).

i have to make my mind up quick because there's quite a few for sale on Ebay
 
The rate changes with brightness. Not sure what the lower limit is but max is 240hz at max brightness. Without PWM lifespan would be reduced. switching on and off 240 times a second allows the oleds to run brighter for longer withotu sacrificing power consumption or lifespan.

But no, i didnt really mean weeks. Tongue firmly in cheek. Sorry, you dont like that I know.

Dont rush, Mal. Cost will only go one way :) I wouldnt trust currys to set up a toaster correctly.

There's no surprise there. They'll always try and get the displays they want to sell looking as bright, saturated and as obnoxious as they can. I find it amusing, because the displays they don't want to sell, from what I've experienced at least have the opposite done to them. Poor resolution, lowered saturation and dropped sharpness with bad contrast. Some of them almost look like they have a VCR hooked up that's playing the demo reel.

I'm aware of how PWM works, I didn't say not to use PWM, but to use a higher frequency because clearly 240Hz is noticeable.

Be careful not to bite your tongue with how firmly it's shoved in your cheek.
 
This thread is being ruined by the bickering guys, can't you all just drop "attitude" and carry on the thread with a :D
 
Glad you know how PWM works, but it's worth noting for everybody else that the note4 isnt the only oled display to use PWM and that they all implement it differently.

Note is hard on PWM even at max brightness, as it seemlying still cycles the power to below 50% and back up. see here post 15

Would be interesting to know what sort of brightness level you think it's at its worst.

Honestly, I dont have one. The guy just cant be reasoned with. Am trying though!

Seriously, both of you stop it now. Final warning. Don't answer back to me saying you're innocent because you're not.

The strobing isn't an issue dead on, not from what I've seen. It's when you're moving your head or eyes and catch the display. I think it's not *that* bad on a phone but on a TV or monitor it would be very distracting. The brightness she uses is I reckon 50-70% in general. It's definitely the dips that I'm seeing as it's black flickers rather than just dimming. It looks like black frames are being inserted at a very noticeable rate.

This might help I have just had my set calibrated, people slate the picture quality of Amazon prime



And my calibration chart

i've read quite a lot about this tv and i think it's a really brilliant buy, its blacks are tremendous............ i think i'll buy it and i've found a brand new one going cheap, with the original box and unopened.........what a bunch of crooks most of these guys are on Ebay, but this bloke seems ok.

what about 4k?........... it aint a big deal if 1080p looks this good and it deffo isn't a problem with my ST Panny either ( the LG OLED is superior to my tv by quite a long way)

It's the best TV I have owned and I have owned quite a few including a pioneer kuro lx5090

there's a 65'' version at 1080p :eek::eek::eek:

but i bet i cant get it.

no i cant, it's been instantly replaced by the latest 4K version and i aint spending 6000 quid right now..

incidently, the 55'' 4K version ( just over 3000 quid) will be a waste of time, that resolution is better for a much larger screen

i was totally wrong about these OLEDs :eek: they really do look brilliant, you should've seen ``the Hobbit`` i swear my jaw dropped to the ground !!!:D

finally, for 4K i'd need another Titan X
