QLED vs OLED

Went to have a look around the guys in purple on Saturday while the missus was looking in the shop next door I've decided to go the oled route.

My budget has took abit of a whack though as the missus has decided to book us a holiday next year with a bunch of friends so budget is down to under 1.5K is the B8 the best option to go for noticed crampon and Moore have the 55" version for £1099.

Cheers

Most people seem to go for the C8 but of cause it costs a fair bit more..

People get very butt hurt and defensive about products they have purchased. Doesn't matter what it is. Phones, cars, TVs and games consoles. The list could go on.

I loved my OLEDS as it suits my veiwing habits. I probably game a tad to much on it.

Am I worried about Burn in. Hell yes but it didn't stop me buying it.

A lot more cases of burn in are popping up on the 2016 models.

If you are after a new TV pick one to suit your veiwing habits and the room.

I think it Samsung that have the best anti-reflection coating or filter on the market. Am sure someone will correct me if am wrong. Which helps in bright room's.

This is my problem. I'm after a 75" TV for our new snug (though still flip-flopping between TV and projector but that's another story!).
I can get the latest 75" QLED for £4.5K but try looking at OLED prices for that size TV. The LG 77" C8 is £1.5k more and that has the horrible grey box under it, which won't look OK wall mounted. The W series TV, same size but with a removable grey unit, is £9k!

@utajoker is right though. It's like AMD Vs Nvidia in the old days, or Xbox Vs PS. Hard to find genuine impartial advice on here or elsewhere. Best go see it for yourself. I went to Richer Sounds to see a demo of Samsung's 75" Q9FN and by all accounts, it's quite incredible. The blacks are much much better than my KS8000.
 
75" start to get pricey if you want high end. 65" there's some good deals around for both techs. I'd go to for a 65" LG B7 or B8.

Then you're into decent projector money though. Depends if your room setup is permitting

Honestly, I just keep going round in circles! We're still having work done on the house so there's still time to make the decision. AV speaker wiring has been added to the snug but I need to make a decision now as to whether I should get an optical 15m 'One Connect' cable for the QLED. Decision has to be now so wires can be hidden before the upstairs flooring goes down but that cable is £200.

The guy in Richer Sounds did demo a couple of projectors to me but the contrast didn't seem great, though they were sub £2k. The guy said the Sony 4K at the £4K price bracket has a rubbish processor and not to bother. Anyway - I'm derailing! :)

This new one LG bringing out looks very interesting
https://www.avforums.com/news/lg-introduce-new-cinebeam-laser-4k-projector-ahead-of-ces-2019.15674
The Korean company is set to unveil its second-generation CineBeam Laser 4K projector (model HU85L)

LG CineBeam Laser 4K can be placed a little more than 2-inches from the wall to project a 90-inch diagonal image. Move to 7-inches away and the projector produces a much larger and still bright 120-inch image.

... but wouldn't you get conduit installed - to pull anything you want through ?

The One Connect is optical and rather fragile. Don't want to pull it through a conduit, it will most likely break (as many reviews have confirmed).

it is impossible when someone has bought a tech is told it's not suitable for someone else's usage.

i am 100% impartial as i want the best tv for my use.your usage may vary therefore it's important you do your own research. that is the issue nobody is willing to spend 2-3 hours looking through reviews on rtings and going through threads on avforums. they want to simple create a thread ask a vague question and expect a fully detailed answer.

also with tv's new tech comes out every year and every year slight improvements are made. it's why i tend to go for value for money rather than outright best. it's better to buy a new tv every say 3-5 years as by then you have gotten your moneys worth out of it and you can upgrade to the newer tech.

my mate bought 4k. the next year they launched HDR. he spent like £3500 on a 75 inch. he then sold to buy hdr the following year. then sold again to upgrade to FALD. he's spent like £10K+ on tv's over a very short period of time.

which proves my point. in the same period of time i have only spent £1K and my tv albeit smaller than his is comparable in terms of PQ. they are on par. yet i have a spare £10K in my pocket.

Trying to compare a smaller sized tv to a larger one is a bit apples and oranges imo, you could argue just waiting till you could get a 75inch FALD would be more worth it (if they can wait, i realise some people have no patience).

Still, there is a diminishing return no matter what screen size is. The more you spend, the less you get for your money, a £3k TV does not offer twice the picture quality of a £1500 TV for example.

i don't want a 75 inch tv though. it would look ridiculous in my home. unless i converted the garage and stuck it in a dedicated room.

so he's bought a 75 inch because he's in a 5 bedroom house. i'm in a 3 bedroom so i have a 55 inch. they will both give the same viewing experience as i will be sitting closer. so it's not apples and oranges at all.

he could have bought 3 x 55 inches. my point is buying the best every year is a stupid way to do things. you spend £3500 on a tv then a year later you are left disappointed because a new killer improvement has been made and your tv doesn't have it.

i know someone who spent £3500 on the first pioneer plasmas it wasn't even HD. they launched a year later. he kept that tv until it died like 15 years later. he missed out on HD plasmas, etc. had he spent less like £1K he could have easily upgraded to a full HD panny plasma a few years later for around £1K. he would still have £1.5K in his pocket and a newer and better tv. but he persevered with a non hd pioneer for 15 years saying it was the best tv he had ever seen. until i showed him my panny plasma. that was when he decided to get a HD LCD for a different room but he kept the pioneer until it died.

buying top end in the TV market is like buying a top end GPU every year. only for those with money to literally throw away. it's not a sensible way to do things. or it's for those that don't understand how tv's advance very quickly.

best to buy value and buy more often. value doesn't mean cheap crap. it just means bang for buck. 55" FALD with amazing HDR and blacks can be had for £1K. a tv which should easily do the next 3-5 years for most folk.

then when the next big thing launches you can get that in 3-5 years time.
