LG OLED destroys Samsung 8500 ultra HD TV!

[bigboss]

I have already commented on the oled - thats got maximum detail crush in the blacks which ruins the rest. Setup truely awfuly

Wasn't that one of the criticisms of last year's LG OLED model -- that blacks were crushed slightly, even post-calibration?

I don't know why this would be. Perhaps this is something peculiar to LG's WOLED technology, at least at this stage of development.

In any case, it seems little effort was made to show either TV performing optimally.

No, the reason is because LG doesn't provide full access to calibrate the OLED properly. That's what Vincent Teoh said. Also, LG purposefully doesn't display whites as it should. Check my thoughts in the ultimate shootout thread.
