LG 55eg910 vs LG 55ec930v TV OLED

[Deleted member 2457]

Gel, please stop ordering until you've heard from Panasonic about your OLED.

Yep, will do although I just ordered the LG 930 OLED from John Lewis, not being delivered until next Tuesday though so plenty of time to cancel if I wish too.

Panasonic 65dx902 (ultra HD premium) anyone?

Its LCD so for me this is a place I will NEVER visit. Only, Plasma for me now then OLED for the only ultimate replacement for Plasma becasue the main criteria for me is deep inky blacks and OLED is the only way forward for a TV. There is also the option for a projector, but this will not suit/fit into my currentb living room..

Series1boy, I would urge you to at least give LCD a chance. I had had only plasma televisions from July 2008 until February 2016, and I can honestly say that I don't notice much difference in picture quality between the Sony and the plasmas. A Full Array Local Dimming LCD set would be better again than my edge-lit Sony.

you will never convert me son of sj unless, oled fails and my pdp also fails after my 6 year warranty runs out, which will be in October 2019!

Spoke to Nick today he reckons there is nothing wrong with the Panasonic, so just got to wait and see what Panasonic say now, I haven't heard anything yet though.

 

[bigboss]

Yes, agree with Nick. Don't order any more TVs. Wait to hear from Panasonic. Is Nick happy to come over to take a look? Where is he based?

 

[Series1boy]

Have I missed something here, thought you'd sold your panny oled?

He just said nothing wrong with it and that was the end of that. He keeps on about Gordan Fraser. Scotland.

Bigboss has an equally hard time in making me think about a projector instead of about a very big television! *acute*

I very much doubt if Mr NIck Wearmouth would be willing to travel from his current shop in Edinburgh (I've been in it once, listening to the Velodyne DD+18 subwoofer about two years ago) to Milton Keynes to look at a television that was calibrated before sale to Gel by Mr Gordon Fraser and which Nick knows to have been in perfect working order before the sale to Gel. What might be possible would be for Gel to arrange for a calibration for his environment, if he doesn't like the existing calibration. That is perfectly possible, maybe the previous calibration was for a dark room and perhaps Gel likes a bit of ambient light? In that case Gel should get another calibration.

Gel, surely if you keep on ordering and then cancelling equipment from John Lewis / Richer Sounds / anyone else, they will come to recognise your name and address on your credit card and then simply refuse to accept any more orders from you? They are private businesses, not publicly owned, and they can refuse anyone's custom.

 

[Series1boy]

To add to this; gels oled has been calibrated with a 1080p player and not to HDR standards because there were no 4 k HDR players out when it was calibrated, so it will need doing again. I might be wrong on this though... And I await elisdj to come in.................

surely canary jules can do gel a good deal

My take on it is if you have the money and space, a tv is for watching tv and a projector is for watching films, no need to buy a tv bigger than 65" imo.

 

[Son_of_SJ]

That's a valid point of view, simonlewis, and bigboss feels similarly. For me, among other reasons, I can't really afford to have two displays in my parlour, and enormously impressed though I was with bigboss's setup for playing Blu-rays when I saw it a year ago, I wasn't quite so taken with it when it was showing ordinarly television, I think he was showing Sky. And it would be a fair amount of disruption, though certainly not impossible, to install a projector at a suitable height in my parlour. And then there's the screen itself as well. I don't know if I could have installed a projector / screen combination for the £2050 that the Sony cost me?

And, for myself anyway as opposed to gifts for friends, I can't see myself buying a 65" television again.

I spoke to Canary Jules and no one knows how to calibrate HDR.

I do like Ambilight I used to have a Philips Ambilight Lcd. I do like the picture I just don't don't like 4K it's too dark but calibration want sort this.

I thought it was HDR, rather than 4K generally, that you didn't like? I'm pretty certain that any decent calibrator will be able to calibrate for 4K resolution. I'm not sure about calibrating for HDR though.

 

[bigboss]

Try a factory reset gel. You will lose all calibration settings, but that may just solve the HDR issue.

 

[Son_of_SJ]

Gel, write down all the existing calibration settings before doing a factory reset, so that you can input them again to the television. Maybe Gordon Fraser still has the calibration results in a software file?

 

[Son_of_SJ]

Bigboss, is it HDR specifically, rather than 4K more generally, that gel doesn't get along with?
