I've been playing on my gf's Panny Plasma recently.. it's a bog standard cheap job.. and the fluid response on the screen is miles ahead of my Samsung LED screens.

It got me thinking.. is a larger monitor not the way forward due to their lower response times?

Apologies if this has already been discussed, I'm a lazy forum member who doesn't really go back further than 5 pages..

OLED is the way forward.

I personally game on a 24" gaming monitor even though I have a 55" tv in the same room right next to it. I use the 55" for fifa and when people come round. If I'm on my own then I use the dell. I just find its much better for FPS.

That's the way I'm thinking of going, rather than drop a couple of grand on an OLED TV drop a significant amount on a large size 4k/UHD monitor instead.

Granted I'd love a 60" OLED but I was really quite shocked at the difference in response times!

2016 OLED's are 28ms

2017 OLED's are rumoured to be 21ms

I personally can't tell the difference between my 2016 65 B6V (with latest firmware update) and my 4ms Acer Predator X34A, but the OLED looks miles better.

I doubt anyone would be able to tell the 7ms difference between those two

The other thing to take into account is the actual style of presentation (after listening to this weeks podcast on AVForums)

They were basically suggesting that from a lag performance point of view OLED was the way to go, but not necessarily from the presentation point of view.

Im only repeating what well respected journos are saying - but it sounds as if this years OLEDs may be overly bright and in your face where as a low lag LCD may be better for more "natural" presentation
(obviously this being personal choice as to which you prefer during gaming)

I was kinda amazed this was suggested but as I havent seen this years OLED's (or LCD's for that matter) its hard to make a personal judgement

KS7000 owner here now, great TV but has a few issues.

Does anyone know if I should turn on HDMI UHD colour in picture settings for the required ports I use even if I only have a standard Xbox and PS4 currently?

Thanks

Hugest_UK · 30 Mar 2017 at 22:26

Yes i would say turn on uhd colour and on the ps4 hdmi enable HDR as the standard ps4 has HDR since a recent firmware update.

all the LCD fanboys have been saying that HDR on OLED's is crap due to peak brightness and LCD's are better due to higher peak brightness.

now they are saying it's in your face bright?

seriously?

So dial the contrast down?

Hi guys just after a bit of info.

Am I right in saying that a modern tv running on a ps4 both with hdr settings on will massively increase the input lag in comparison to if hdr was off?

Maybe, maybe not. It all helps, especially when you factor in playing online. I noticed the difference when moving from 30ms to 20ms. But yeah - it wouldn't put me off buying a B6 as 28ms is perfectly fine for gaming. It does make me want the B7 a little more tho.

VincentHanna · 14 Apr 2017 at 19:26

B7 is literally double the price of a B6 though.

Got some HD Samsung 32inch LED TV... don't know the model but the panel is very good, cost me a lot of money at the time but despite having 2 4K TVs elsewhere in the house I still think this has the nicer picture. I got it just as LED TVs were becoming big.

Just upgraded my TV to the LG C6V 55" OLED, amazing TV in all aspects really! I've not found anything to complain about so far. The black levels are something else.

Is there a way to make the KS7000 change its own settings when you enable/disable HDR content? At the moment on the PS4 Pro I have to manually turn up the backlight and contrast etc when putting on a HDR game and then do it all in reverse when putting a SDR game on. Seems silly they don't make 2 settings for the auto detect, it detects a HDR source but doesn't alter the settings.

Apparently this is a firmware issue that everyone is moaning to Samsung about.

It automatically changes the backlight etc on every mode apart from game mode, when switching between SDR / HDR.

redrooster303 · 21 Apr 2017 at 12:34

Ok, thanks. Hopefully they change this with a firmware update. PITA

Moving house soon so looking for a new TV. I want a 40" no bigger and my budget is £600 max, no budge.
I have looked at the
Samsung UE40KU6400U.
Panasonic 40DX700B
LG 40UH630V

Will be used for my ps4 and wiiu.
Netflix and movies.

I'll be buying online so who has the best customer service, richer sounds or John Lewis. Rather pay a slight premium to have best customer service.

This is a decent set in your price/size range:

http://4k.com/tv/sony-x800d-review-4k-hdr-tv-xbr49x800d-xbr43x800d/

A little bigger than 40" but has semi decent features for HDR etc. I think it has the triluminous display too.

I think I recalled that for the Sony it has issue of input lag being high if gaming under HDR mode...

I'm looking for an alternative 4K HDR TV as well as the UE49KS7000 that I recently purchased arrived with the infamous back panel detached from the from issue, and took it back for a refund due to Richer Sounds didn't have stock for replacement.

The K7000 unfortunately is a TV with a good panel but crap build quality...don't know what's Samsung thinking to use glue to attach the back plastic panel to the body of the TV instead of securing with screws...
