i know there is a difference between screen resolution and technology but at last we could get a decent shoot out

I predict,

1) OLED

2) 4K

3) plasma

in that order.

Lucky leeds 35 to get a free lunch for sitting in the dark all day 🙂

Its oled vs plasma thats interesting 2 sections dedicated to it.

I think oled will be better but by how much.

When will we get affordable 65" plus screens

No wonder you have 12,000 posts. It's 4,000 posts done 3 times each!!!

In theory i could probably attend, leeds isn't that far away from stockport although i probably won't, i would be interested to hear what other people (the ones that attended) what they thought about it.

bigboss are you going ???

 

[bigboss]

Yup, registered. At Bristol show, I actually preferred 4K over OLED. This will be interesting.

 

[simonlewis]

Thats good news then bb, only another sixteen days i bet you can't wait.

You prefer 4K over OLED! Why?

I put my thoughts on this thread:

http://www.whathifi.com/forum/shows/bristol-show-my-thoughts

Basically, the difference between OLED and 4K for 1080p content as well as SD content was much much closer than I thought. If they had not told me which TV is which, I would've struggled to identify it. 4K pictures on the 4K TV was absolutely glorious. The images just "popped out" with amazing clarity and depth. The fact that you can get a 65-inch 4K TV for the price of a 55-inch 1080p OLED sealed it for me in favour of 4K.

Is it just me that thinks once you get over 50ish inches TVs start to look ridiculous/hideous/intrusive/a bit "low rent" (in the average British home).

I personally think you're better off with a PJ at that point.

Were the TVs calibrated? If so, how (via THX Optimiser software, or professionally)?

Perhaps all TVs at the Bristol show were in shop mode, to "wow" passersby. Also, what were the viewing conditions?

The Leeds event may level the playing field. I say this because I saw an LG 4K LED at a similar event last year. In near blackout conditions the 6090, ZT/VT, and F8500 looked markedly better to my eyes.

I'm not suggesting you reached the wrong conclusion. Newer 4K televisions will almost certainly better the LG I saw, and different people have different requirements.

I'll be interested to read your views after seeing these TVs side-by-side under controlled conditions.

Compared to your VT Gel, what are the main differences/improvements in pic quality; is it the blacks?

I guess it depends on what you mean by the average British home.

A friend of mine consistently argues that there's an inverse relationship between screen size and class.

Based on my experience in a business that took me into thousands of homes over the years to fit aerial and sat systems I'd tend to agree.

Blacks were noticeably better, yep. I suppose it was like going from a CRT TV to a LED first time, that's what the jump was like. Extra brightness and better colours.

I think it will be wise to see consumer reports who've owned OLED sets for 12-24 months at least. There are already reports of burn in:

Lifespan of current OLED TVs is also unknown at the moment.

I put the limit to 65 inches.
