Does anyone think I should give HDR and 4K another shot and order the lg 65e OLED TV?
No. Wait for a year or two until things settle, and better quality 4K blu rays arrive.

Bigboss, I'm sure that Gel does many things well, but waiting is not one of them. And we have all told Gel this advice previously, I'm not sure why now would be any different?

Because I've tried 4K and HDR now and it's no good, so waiting is the only option.

i have sent back one TV which I am entitled to do - get over yourself man!

It's your money to do with what you want, but the implication of your statement is not really true is it. You've had more different TVs recently than I've had in a lifetime. Truth is you've not really needed a new TV since at least two TVs ago. You're basically a compulsive oniomaniac who finds fault with virtually every purchase you buy so you can re-experience the short-term buzz you get from buying something new. But within days or sometimes hours, you've come down from your high and you need the fix again, so in your mind, either consciously or subconsciously, you magnify the significance of every quirk or near-non-existent fault and use it as justification for change, just so you can experience the buzz you are addicted to. I'm only telling you the truth that's plain for us all to see, but like all addicts, there's no one except you who can make yourself better, though there are avenues for support and help.
Its like I go into a trance and can't get out of it.

For example today I bought the LG 55ec930 OLED TVs this morning, come lunch time I was convinced I should re-buy the Panasonic OLED, 2 hours later I was then convinced I should buy the LG 65 E OLED and then back to the LG 55ec930v again. And in those hours I was totally convinced I was thinking the right thing.

We know, we see you doing it and we see it happening. Maybe have a chat with your carer/psychiatrist and ask what they suggest. You've already jumped a massive hurdle by acknowledging you have a problem. And you know that when we post anything critical we're only concerned about your welfare.

I agree, you need to see your doctor gel. I've never seen it this bad with you.
You know when I took the overdose do you think I was in psychosis? Because I wasn't with it at all?

Have you tried alternative support Gel? There is something called CBT and is on the nhs but there is a long waiting list. Have a look at the following link: http://www.cbtyorkshire.co.uk and I'm sure there will be the equivelent down where you are.

Basically they can provide you with the tools, to help you control certain conditions such as OCD, stress, depression and maybe your condition.

I'll PM you to explain how it is helping me But speak to your doctor and see what he or she thinks...

Buy either a used or hopefully new Panasonic plasma 1080p VT from a dealer or on EBAY or buy the LG G6 SIGNATURE 4K OLED .in my opinion after what you've already bought these are your options.
