OLED’s are the current champion when it comes to TV’s, but which one is right for you? Sony’s bringing the heat with their latest generation OLED - but is it worth the price?

I mean many people are happy to overpay for a Ampere card right now....

Fuck you scalpers, fuck you scammers, fuck all of you jerks that charge way too much to tech-illiterate people. 

Unless I say I am speaking from experience or can confirm my expertise, assume it is an educated guess.

Current setup: Ryzen 5 3600, MSI MPG B550, 2x8GB DDR4-3200, RX 5600 XT (+120 core, +320 Mem), 1TB WD SN550, 1TB Team MP33, 2TB Seagate Barracuda Compute, 500GB Samsung 860 Evo, Corsair 4000D Airflow, 650W 80+ Gold. Razer peripherals. 

Also have a Alienware Alpha R1: i3-4170T, GTX 860M (≈ a 750 Ti). 2x4GB DDR3L-1600, Crucial MX500

My past and current projects: VR Flight Sim: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/nathanpete/saved/#view=dG38Jx (Done!)

Replacement of my friend's PC nicknamed Donkey, going from 2nd gen i5 to Zen+ R5: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/nathanpete/saved/#view=WmsW4D (Done!)

OLEDs are junk for any long term static content due to burn-in.

Unless they've advanced the technology since the last time I checked?

There are ways to avoid this - the aluminum heatsink panel on the A90J is one method, just brute forcing the cooling to reduce burn-in. Pixel shifting is also a thing, although some people don't like it.  https://www.sony-mea.com/en/electronics/support/televisions-projectors-oled-tvs-android-/kd-65a8h/articles/00173233

Burn-in IS an issue, yes, I wouldn't personally suggest daily driving an OLED as a monitor unless you mitigate or otherwise accept the risks associated with burn-in.

This was actually what I was going to ask about. So probably using it to just watch media/TV should have a lower chance of burn in compared to other panels? I'd like to get an OLED but the burn in risk keeps me gun-shy for purchasing one.

I gotta be honest I've never really seen a regular tv that ever looked like it was worth thousands of dollars.

I've seen tv's that look good but not 2800$ good.

i can rarely tell a difference in store (apart from colours) between a $800 TV and a $2000 TV when they are running side by side

You can tell the difference in price of a TV by the expression on the face of the sales staff when you stand in front of them.

 

$800 TV 😒 "yeah it gets ABC and SBS, probably couple other channels too idk the box is there just carry it up to the front and tell them I sent you"

$2000 TV 😏 *slaps bezel* "this bad boy fits so many pixels"

 

These days the "smart" features are more important to me than picture quality. Is it easy to switch between Netflix and YouTube? Sold.

CPU: Intel i7 6700k  | Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 5 | RAM: 2x16GB 3000MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX | GPU: Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080ti | PSU: Corsair RM750x (2018) | Case: BeQuiet SilentBase 800 | Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports | SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 500GB + Samsung 840 500GB + Crucial MX500 2TB | Monitor: Acer Predator XB271HU + Samsung BX2450
