I think I would like one, yep. I like the fact they are so light too, they would be perfect for my stand. I think when 4K Blu-ray players come out I will buy one then. So in about 2-3 years time, perhaps sooner.Oldboy said:Still on the fence personally gel. What I've seen of OLED so far has impressed me hugely but several factors remain that are putting me off.
Of course price is the biggest factor right now as production remains expensive but there is the blue issue that remains unless you buy an LG set. There is also the blooming 4K market too so to future proof myself I would want a 4K OLED which won't come cheap and only now seem to be appearing. There is also the issue of image retention which really puts me off as I've been through that with plasma so for now I intend to hold off until I'm happy all my concerns have been addressed.
Are you thinking about getting an OLED TV then gel?

LG would need to sell a substantial number of OLED televisions to challenge LED tech's dominance; and as we know from plasma, the technology offering the best picture doesn't always win out.
I think it's equally likely that other manufacturers will close ranks.

bigboss said:There were more reasons for plasma to die:
1) They couldn't make 4K screens.
2) They were struggling to keep up with tougher energy regulations.
bigboss said:This is not an issue with OLED. Manufacturers look for the next catchphrase to sell TVs: HD, LED, 4K etc., and OLED has been successful in capturing the imagination of the consumer.
bigboss said:Yes, LG needs to make it popular until Samsung is able to crack the technology. It's certainly moving in the right direction, with keenly priced OLED TVs this year.

Hello doctor, did you mean the Samsung 55HU7500? Very good indeed, but not as good as the 65HU7500 .......
bigboss said:No point in having a 65-inch TV, when I'm going to watch films on an 8 feet projector screen!
It's going to be a toss up between H7000 and HU7500, depending on what budget I'm left with.

ellisdj said:Only 12 month warranty - would want more than that on OLED or any tv really.
Nice price though
