The curve is kind of a gimmick, but it’s been a really good TV.

Bigger is better

I'm pretty set on size at 65 inches. Not much reason for me to go either bigger or smaller in the space I'm using.

Seconded. 75 is much better than 65. If your space can accommodate .

The room and wall is plenty big enough but then my wife is going to want a larger piece of furniture underneath it.

Can you wall mount it?

KingDave

It will be wall mounted. There's just a piece of furniture underneath

Black levels are best on OLED, IMO.

Do you mean LG and Sony?

Maybe?

I've heard lots of people complaining about burn in on OLED.

I’ve had 2 LG OLEDs for over a year. No burn in at all. They are amazing.

Yep. 4K on OLED is mind blowing

Would I notice the difference between my normal 65' Samsung and a similar OLED

JmThms

Yes. I think so.

CosmoK

8/16/19 8:41pm

Is that primarily due to the color rendering or other resolution considerations?

JmThms

8/16/19 8:42pm

Contrast and black levels.

CosmoK

Samsung doesn’t make OLEDs, as they don’t have a license to the relevant patents. Only LG and Sony have a license

I have that one too. I got the curve just as a conversation piece.

You want something with HDR

I'm considering downsizing to a 75" screen. My 85" one is a bit much.

Skip the tv, go with a projector and screen. Even the biggest tv looks tiny

8/16/19 10:11pm

I almost did this, until I saw how much bulbs cost. Maybe if you only used it

A new generation of affordable laser projectors are coming out

8/17/19 3:28am

That's pretty cool. I'll keep that in mind when it's time to upgrade.

He said the room is light, which doesn’t work well for a projector

KingDave

8/17/19 3:48am

Darker the room the better, but a light room can still look amazing. The new

Great deal here on an excellent TV.

Bluedarts

Late to the conversation but if movie quality matters then you want OLED

CNET really likes the Vizio P Series.
