So I went in to curry sauce today to narrow down my choice,
'had a look at the 58" pana which was pretty good, but then perused the new Samsung 8 series,
and 9 series, Currys had the latest 55ks9000 on display at £1999 next door to the older LG 55eg960 OLED, (was £2500 now £1999) so the same price, (the 8 series was £1800)
'and the comparison was interesting, the new Samsung blew the older 4K screens out the water, that were looking decidedly 'Simpsons' in comparison (overly vibrant colours etc), all screens were playing the same content at the same time so made for a good comparison. But the older OLED LG I think gave the best picture, much deeper blacks and a better more natural image, with increased contrast. Sure not the latest most exciting new tech etc, and maybe it's my love of a bargain, but it seems better to go for a slightly older model and get this for a good deal?
question now is (assuming I bump my budget up to £2K) is it better to get the older OLED than the latest Samsung?
