Spotted an OLED TV out in the wild...

[Exotath]

....and it was glorious! The picture was so crisp and clean that I thought it was 4k. But it was 1080P. The panel is so insanely thin! Like 1/4" maybe slightly more.

Truly an amazing display.   ...I ended up leaving with a 60" Sharp Aquos Quattron as it was more in my budget. :lol:  This was at a Fry's in Georgia, USA.

Pics of the LG: (Sorry they are from an iPhone 5s)

Neat.

How much was this TV

[Probenja]

They are quite nice, it is pretty amazing how far tv's have come in such little time. BTW Sharp tv's are great and they last forever! We still have one from late 90's/early 00'.

Yea I got a great deal. $987! It looks fantastic and has tons of good features. Sound is meh but home system fixes that.

finally lg can say that they have a tv with good PQ

Not bad, my friend paid a fair bit more for his plasma tv a few years ago.

 

I don't understand the point of making it thin, as well as curved. It looks like it lacks a VESA mount.

[Unhelpful]

My problem with it is that you have to maintain a certain distance from it for each portion of the screen to be equidistant from your eyes. If it isn't then it looks distorted. It is essentially impossible for 2 people to watch it together. Well not impossible, but it does look worse.

[Exotath]

I don't quite get what they are going for with the curve either but the picture quality was amazing.

 

They probably could shave some $$$$$$$$$ by not making the body out of carbon fiber too....

Saw a 4k tv today for $8000 now that is a steal  :lol:

[Victorious Secret]

We paid 6 grand on our Kuro so...

 

Yes, this is something I'd do again. 

 

But, the Kuro is the TV that won't go anywhere till it genuinely dies. Just one of those pieces of tech that is too good to replace for any other reason.

Wow all the. FRYS look the same

[IdeaStormer]

Wow all the. FRYS look the same

 

No, the ones I've been in look more like a warehouse with trash all over the place, open boxes and merchandise tossed around and in an isle they don't be long in,  that one looks like a well maintained dept. store.

No wonder people normally hate frys....

I like my Frys

I can't wait until OLED monitors come available and at a reasonable price ($300 - $500). But I expect this not to happen for quite some time.

Back on topic: I would love an OLED TV, perfect for ya movie watching.

[Princess Anna]

Frozen would look amazing on this... Just sayin    

[Stadiz]

I do :wub: OLED. I did saw a 4k+OLED!!!! from panasonic/sony that thing was BEAST hands down best screen i ever saw. 

It was a prototype.

But allas they ended there partnership.

[Ertman]

I have only seen some of the first ones by Sony, back when they did that sort of thing. It was impressive for the time.

[dalekphalm]

The only OLED TV I've seen in person was an 11" Sony model that was more or less a prototype... and it was $11,000

[Hyp0xia]

At the store where I work, we have a 1080p LG OLED television next to a 4K LG television and the OLED looks way better than the 4K. The black levels are unbelievable. I just wish they'd stop this curved screen nonsense.

Yeah, OLED display technology seems to take the strengths of Plasma display technology + the strengths of IPS technology and so you get quite an amazing display. The only reason that we're seeing curved OLED TVs is because manufacturers like LG think that it creates an immersive viewing experience but hopefully when OLED TVs drop significantly in price they'll have non-curved/flat OLED TVs as well.

If OLED display technology is incorporated into consumer computer monitors it would pretty much make IPS, PLS and VA display technologies obsolete because it's so much better than all three of them combined. It'd be awesome to own a OLED monitor. It would certainly completely eradicate backlight bleed altogether because of no backlight to worry about.

dude i only dream of watching a movie on an oled tv,i mean them black levels ! ips sucks for tvs

I'm actually about to pick on of the LG OLED televisions up in another day or two. Industry insider discounts make the 55EA9800 a $1,699.99 television set. LG's profit margins on these things are insane.
