My TV is about 8 years old - nothing wrong with it apart from looking abit dated. But even back then I didn't go for the standard edge lit display but went with the backlit as that didn't have the edge bleed.
I was never excited about 3D and it's now obvious that was a fad. Screens in general have not changed much as they have mostly been variations of led screens trying to increase darks by local dimming and such.
Now that oled is finally here, it has peaked my interest. Not the silly curved screens, but a good flat oled with deep blacks, a wide colour gamut and non reflective screen. HDR seems to be another one of those things which may fall along the way side.
There are only three major manufacturers that have jumped into oled, and it seems LG have the strongest offerings right now. There is a 55" I am looking at, but cannot justify the 2 grand price tag.
If I wait till end of next year I can scoop it up for about £600 quid and hope the difference is not much between it and the hottest tv. What are your thoughts on oled - worth the hype or the overinflated price tag?
