Recommend me OLED TV + Sound System

What sort of sound system are you looking for?

The 65’ LG is £2300 on richer sounds, so you’re not leaving a ton of cash for sound.. but £200 could get a half decent sound bar for general use?
 
I'd say get the 55inch and sit closer.
As TALON said, its an extra grand for 10 inches, alittle silly.
Could put more funds into the sound solution :)

You want to pay £1000 for 10 inches? The 55 inch is just as good

How has the quality of the picture got anything to do with the OP's size requirement?

The 65" set is much more immersive if you have a typical size living area, and not something the size of a town hall. The actual screen area difference is about 40% more on the 65" vs the 55" (1290 insq vs about 1800) I am not quite sure how something that has 40% less surface area could be compared.

As for the cost, the panel cost is based on its screen area, not the diagonal measurement of the set. Can you imagine trying that buying a house, this house is only 2 metre's wider, why does it cost £30,000 more. :)

I may up my budget a little bit, but currently I have a decent soundbar. The solution needs to be high quality sound and wireless except perhaps a main unit.
 
Current budget insufficient.

Wireless still need to be powered, so they still have cables.

Realistically upping budget to 3k will get you a decent (wired) system composing of a QA (bookshel)f 5.1 package (499) and a Denon 2400 (299).

The sub is pretty lame though, so you'd might want to shift that on and spend 500 in a sub from BK.
 
Went for the LG 65 OLED. Getting a SONOS setup for sound. Went over budget so was about £3300 all in.

Looks small still next to my 75 inch in the lounge though

sonos is crap btw. well it's good if you want a full house wired up with wireless speakers. as a home cinema set up it's pretty crap.

i'd have went with a yamaha soundbar instead. they do atmos ones for around a grand.

also IMO OLED still isn't worth buying. too many issues. screen uniformity with banding, etc. also image retention so no gaming allowed or pc use.

having been an advocater of plasma and owning several. now went back to LCD. i now realise there is no such thing as a perfect tv or even a tv which will suit most people.

as long as you are aware of the pro's and cons of each tech and oled suits your usage you will be fine.

i ended up buying another screen because of image retention. purely to game on. to save my plasma from it. it's why when i moved house i stuck the plasma in the bedroom and went lcd in both the living rooma and games room.

i'll wait to see if OLED can overcome these issues. if it can't i'll probably go down projector or large lcd route.

Sorry, that's total ********!

I would imagine that I have 1000+ hours of gaming on my 65B6 OLED and have no image retention or burn in.

I game on PC, PS4 Pro, Xbox One X and Nintendo Switch.

I recently played 70+ hours of Horizon Zero Dawn in HDR - That game has an onscreen HUD. One session my fianceé was on her hen do, so I pretty much played it for 12 hours straight with a few breaks for lunch/dinner/dog walk. No issues

Also - John Linneman and Richard Leadbetter at Digital Foundry who test game performance/graphics both have OLED TV's...

I'm not disputing they can suffer burn in, but you would really have to be misusing it/stupid for it to happen.

rtings did a test on i believe 10 OLED's. some of them showed little to no signs and some were absolutely shocking. this was on the same model of OLED all 10 the exact same.

it's luck of the draw. so no it's not BS go look on rtings for proof
 
So basically if you watch the same TV channel for 20 hours a day, for a few weeks then you might need to replace your TV, or your eyes which ever fails first? :p
