Meanwhile in Australia the only 4k telly in town costs 20,000. Of course it's also 84", but still, gently caress that. I just bought (going on a year now, actually) a 64" Samsung and I figure by the time 4k rolls around in proper numbers it'll be breaking down anyway. Going from one of the cheap-ish early plasmas to a high quality end-of-tech one was mindblowing incidentally.

So I picked up a Sony KDL48W600B for ~$700 OTD. It's not a great bargain or any kind of TV to write home about, but I'm upgrading from a Westinghouse 37W3 from the stone ages so it's literally blowing me away at every turn. I'll invest in something more expensive once 4K becomes a "thing". Until then I really only use it for the occasional PS4 game and watching NHL  I may have gone more expensive or impressive, but the room I'm using it in is literally limited to like a 50" at most because it's tiny, and the 48" seems to be doing the trick just fine.

Not to be a downer, the F8500 has inky blacks, but dont expect them to be off black in a blacked out room, you can still see some glow in a plasma. Its totally not an issue though and the blacks are amazing on the set, especially in dark scenes when you can have black and light next to each other.

I have the F8500 64" and yeah, it's noticeably lighter than 'true black' in the dark. But it's really not distracting after the first minute of watching and if you're not watching in darkness that poo poo is inky as hell. Still, they're just about the best blacks you can get in a plasma and the only way to get rid of that very slight glow is to go OLED. If its not too pricey, gently caress yeah, go for it. It'll blow people away when you have them for movie night.

I am looking to get a 55" to 60" TV to upgrade my setup. Which is better for me to target an OLED TV or a 4K TV? Is there enough of a difference between the 2 to warrant paying the difference in price?

Itll take a few years for 4k to become standard. If you can afford upgrades every few years, I'd say go OLED instead and reevaluate in two to four years. 4k prices will have dropped some, and like early plasmas and LEDs, a lot of the affordable AND large 4K televisions are using less than ideal panels. Better to have better image quality at 1080 than poor panel performance at 4k. If you think this might be your last bit of money for a while and want to future proof, 4k.

At that size i'd totally go OLED too over 4k; it has all of the perks of an emissive display (uniformity, motion, viewing angles) and all of the advantages of an LCD (no need for a glass layer, bright room performance, perfect blacks like FALD) rolled into one. You can find the 2014 55" for a little over 3 grand and the 2013 for under 3 grand now.

Before pulling the trigger, it's worth noting the the LG OLED's have some pretty significant video processing issues that tend to get overlooked due to the "HOLY poo poo, LOOK AT THESE BLACKS" effect - most notable of which is its built-in DNR. The motion resolution is pretty disappointing as well (only 300 lines native, even some LCDs can do better than that), and the 2013 models also tended to suffer from problems with image retention and stuck pixels. I would say if you're upgrading from a LCD then go with the 4K as it's guaranteed to be better than what you have now at a lower cost, if you currently have a plasma then go OLED since the 4K sets blacks will be a noticeable step down for you. Also if you do decide to go OLED you may want to wait as LG are supposed to be introducing more flat screen OLED's in early 2015, if the whole curved screen thing bothers you.

Ok, I've got a weird question. I've got an old Best Buy brand LCD TV. Not super old, but about 5 years. It's been relegated to being my secondary TV because the lower left hand side of it has a weird issue where it seems to lag slightly behind the rest of the image. The area is roughly this size and shape: Anyone have any idea why this is? It doesn't do it all the time, and switching inputs or turning the TV on and off fixes it. It does it on every HDMI port.

So I'm trying to decide between the vizio P-series (especially with the deal on the 15th coming up) and Samsung H7150 60" sets. I have a really bright room during the day, and I'm confused by Rtings' "bright room" performance test. They rate the vizio at 9.5 and the samsung at 9.0, but looking at the pictures they provide, the Samsung looks MUCH better. You can still see the picture through the glare on the samsung, whereas on the vizio it's totally blown out. What am I missing here? Why is the Vizio rated better in this regard? P-series:  H7150:

Also that test is more to show what reflections look like, its possible that it was a brighter day when they took the p series photo. The main thing is is it a sharp reflection or a diffused reflection. Most people would prefer a diffused one. Don Lapre fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Nov 4, 2014 |

I'm buying my first tv in 8 years. I currently have a 42" Panasonic 720P plasma with no speakers or tuner, but I don't recall the specific model. I want to get something that will be relatively future proof, so I was leaning towards the Samsung 8550 for the 3d and 4k. I currently have a 360 and a PS3 hooked up, I don't have any of the next gen consoles but I'm planning on getting one in the future. Is this a good choice, or can I spend my money more wisely? I really don't want to go over 2K for the tv. I'm not overly worried about the speakers on the tv as I have a nice surround system set up, I'm mostly concerned with picture quality. The biggest TV I can get is 30" vertically due to a tv stand we have, which seems to plop me right into a 55" tv pretty much perfectly. I could probably move it up to 60 but with the center channel speaker where it's located it would be getting snug in the unit.

The 51" F8500 has inferior picture quality to the 60+" (higher black levels being one of the things.) That's chief among the reasons why I went with a W900A rather than an F8500. I might have bought the 60" F8500 if it had a functional stand rather than an art piece.

Even with worse black levels than the 60+ its still gonna be a more consistent picture with no light leakage and perfect uniformity. If anything get the old 850 rather than the new 900

If anything get the old 850 rather than the new 900 W900A is not the new 900 (that's the 900B.) It's the 2013 model which is superior to any 1080p TV Sony is putting out this year. No TV has perfect uniformity. I've owned plasma and they have their flaws like everything else. I would have been willing to give Samsung a chance to be better than Panasonic, but I sure as hell wasn't going down in size and their 60" model didn't fit on my TV stand due to the base design. Besides all that, I'm now a "true believer" in Sony's motion processing being superior to anything else on the market. Even if I could snap my fingers and fix my ST50, I don't think I would go back to it. The Sony is so much better at processing motion than anything I've seen on the Panasonic side.

If I buy a Vizio m492i-b2 to replace my 7 year old VX32L will I be making a decent choice? Room is a bit smaller, so I don't want to go larger then 50", and my budget is max $600. Anyone have a better choice? Going to use it for a bit of gaming and some movie and tv. Don't care about smart features but if they're there it's cool.
