So the main thing I would have added to this video, in retrospect, is something about INPUT LAG and RESPONSE TIME for gaming.
Basically, you want both to be as low as possible -- less than 30ms is good, less than 15ms is ideal.
Make sure to use your TV's Gaming Mode (most have it now) while gaming to turn off in-TV image processing and minimize input lag!
Paul's Hardware damn, I wish I could afford a 4k tv
damn you beat me to it... good boy
Jakob Engell don't cry, craft!
Here are some pages that can help

thanks for the links Jakob!
My new 75" oled tv arrived curved, and after watching your video I backed over it several times with my SUV and now it is flat again. thanks for the help!

@Covid19 Virus BeLIEve in a plandemic make you trust worthy.. lol
Solid video bro. Exactly the information I was looking for. Hoping you make an update vid soon as I’m in the market.
Just made the step up to a 55 inch 4k (from a 50 inch 1080i) and found your well balanced info after the purchase. Good info well presented, keep up the good work. Subscribed!
Who's watching in 2020 thinking this was released like a week ago 😂😂😂😂
Me!
Dam dude. Ruined it for me. Lol.
dint know until u said it
The beard helped give it away but this appeared near the top of my feed too.
I am so glad I came across your comment. I sure as hell am watching this in 2020 and did not realize this was for fucking years old
• 4K
• HDR
• 10 bit panel
• wide color gamut
• local dimming
Mike Rose Dolby vision
Dolby Vision is the new hd dvd and/or oled burn in battle; its getting better but has a ways to go. It will be interesting to see how they will be able to get closer to 7 or 10k nits to actually produce far better results than active hdr. Theres also hlg if you use cable for 4k.
And that tv isnt 10 bit.
Samsung 49inch Ru7100 is good?
@@vaish883 Hey! that's the tv i just orderd after doing a lot of research, the other tvs in the RU7100 price range doesnt really compare and has all the features that mike rose mentioned
0:38 This is what makes a good tech channel. Loads of good info, great B roll, and some light innuendo.
Thanks so much for your very helpful and clear technical explanation and tips.
just got a lg OLED it's great. sold a kidney for it. the guy I took the kidney from was pissed
1stfloorguy why do I believe that u actually did that?
1stfloorguy 👍
good to see somebody selling kidneys to buy an appliance, here in my country its totally illegal even to sell 100ml of blood
I begged, borrowed and stole.
Nice
I'm so thankful for smart ppl like you that want to share their knowledge!! You've saved me from buying the wrong TV..!! Thank You!!
So you bought a 1080p?
Thanks... The simplified description of the technology was helpful--and a good starting point for additional research.
Great information. Clear precise and to the point. Thanks Paul.
I have a plasma from like 2001 lol, still going strong. looks good too
Great Review, excellent feature points and thank you for such a great quality presentation! Thumbs UP, thank YOU!
Frederick Dunn 8
appreciate this video. helps me to understand what i am buying. Paul does a great job at keeping the tech talk simple to understand and easy to follow. thank you !!!!!!!!
What a great suggestion video! Told me everything I need to know! Was buying a 4k 70 inch TV today!
We need an update to this video a 2021 version..thanks
yes, please!
I'm looking on the 75PUS6754, I wanna big screen and this 75" only cost 1000 USD or so. Also, I always liked the Idea about Ambilight, but back when I bought må last TV Philips were just so unsharp compared to Samsung and LG, but now the Philips I have seen looks fine.
Anyone whit any experience of this product line? Or anyone with any thoughts on this?
@@mwtrolle Are you in the UK. I looked for your TV and found it's equivalent to 899 pounds. A good update on 4K TV's from 43" to 55" sizes is they only cost $200 to $300 now in the US, but seen their about $400 on Amazon UK. I've been over there quite a few times over the years to UK and EU zone finding clothing and electronics were 2X prices often times than in the US. Sorry mate, I guess you guys get gauged or it's just a more expensive economy where people are often paid more than Americans. The 43" I ordered today on FingerHut is $250 with free shipping using code, but the 75" sizes do still run around $2000 or more. Most people have 43" to 55" sizes now and there is much excess inventory so prices have been plummeting on them the past year. I seen a 43" HDTV at Walmart right after Christmas for a rock bottom $178, but I didn't have the money get it then. All our HDTV sellers have so much inventory sitting around and most people already have them so demand is very low now with many wanting to buy OLED which is still $1500 or more for a 43" OLED. Their still too expensive and inventory is kept artificially low to consistently maintain their very high price the past 4 years. I don't understand why OLED hasn't become the norm for it's the next gen sort of TV and monitor technology, but it's price point is still high for inventory is small to nonexistent still yet though there are just the same 2 OLED models on display the past 4 years up to this day in our stores you can order where no OLED inventory is on hand to this day. OLED is so amazing and been around a good 4 years, but the market isn't being supplied so prices can drop enough consumers who've been watching an LCD HDTV for several years can upgrade to a new TV. I'll be OK with my new LCD model for a few years, but can't get over how amazingly magical OLED screens look. 75" is where one whole wall is your personal theater screen!!!
Yeah that would be great
@@TUBESPECIFIC1 I guess that's because of the sales tax in most EU countries and the extended reclamation rights in the EU.
Probably the best explained video in regards to the variations between TVs.
Now i know what to look out for when buying my next TV. Thanks
Keep up the good work.
I have one of this TV's (the exact model), they work really well... and like you said is not an OLED but they do their job very good. It is a middle range TV with an excellent price... HDR Pro, etc. Enjoy! and thanks for the explanation :) Have a nice Sunday!
Thank you Brotha, video may be old but helped me out a lot. Much appreciated.
Best review as long as it works when it’s turned on
Paul, make an updated video on this. Thanks
Thanks for the quick, clear and helpful tips!
Very informative and simple. Thanks bud!
VA vs IPS is subjective. VA has true blacks, IPS ahs grey blacks. VA has worse viewing angles (colro disortion), IPS has excellent viewing angles. I prefer VA because i dont watch TV from the side.
i prefer ips,because i don't watch alone and from dead center
i like ips cause the tv is *right in front of me* like it normally is :). i wont watch some tv with a 178 viewing angle on the ceiling. like you shouldnt right?
@@Anexzs so why do you prefer the ips? VA is better in your case.
@@mikiii880 today I have bought sony 900f it has VA panel and the blacks look magnificent in comparison to ips...
@Aluminum Chicken Thanks bro.
OLED is still insanely expensive. I am sticking with my old 1080p monitor until I can get a 4K OLED 40" for under $1000 haha. I may be waiting for a while...
Oled is no good for monitors, lots of static images like taskbar create burnin, the best panel for monitor would be Samsung VA panels with true blacks and no back light bleed and great view angles, 40in 4k 120hz hdr + freesync or gsync
not so much anymore, lots of people on redit own LGs latest OLED TV and use them for couch gaming with PCs and gaming in general and no issues have come up. Ive never heard of Burn in being a problem with OLED, now image retention is a different story which isn't the same, but the latest models have cycles to make sure it doesn't happen unless you are playing 24/7
Aaron Briggs my samsung galaxy note 2 cell phone has the whatsapp keyboard burnt permanently onto the oled screen.
Lucien Petersen dang u still using that old phone
Travis Porter yip. This device is legend! still going strong. except for the screen burn.
Great video 👍🏻 All the info I needed in a short video. Excellent, thanks 👍🏻
Thanks a million time for your efforts and kind heard to make this video with very comprehensive and thorough technical explanation and tips for choosing a smart TV. It is extremely helpful and beneficial for me to find the best one for my family with all the four qualities you have recommended..
Should be careful with the HDR stuff. Almost every 2016 model 4K TV advertises HDR support, but while many cheaper ones will accept an HDR signal, they don't have a 10-bit panel or meet the specifications for HDR10 or Dolby Vision - which basically means they can't display HDR. HDR is very confusing in its advertising and terminology, and is used as a catch-all to mean many different things. People should really go to some stores and look at display model TVs playing HDR video to know what they're getting.
crowleyswhitehorse Best advice and comment on here. Thank you!
Got the LG 65" OLED E7. Got the XBox One X. Got the Oppo 4K blue ray player supporting Dolby Vision.
Confident that all my components are compatible especially with regards to HDR10 and Dolby Vision.
If you have discrete home theater...5.1, 5.2, 7.1, 7.2., etc. and you want to run all the devices through a receiver, you'll want a 4K receiver that accepts both HDR formats. I got the Denon 4K AVR S930H.
Whew! Glad I waited till now to upgrade my home theater.
It's been two years, need an updated version of this video
Thank You very much! I am in the market for a new TV and there are a Bunch of options I have no clue about
Nice TV you got there,enjoy!
I’ve only bought Panasonic TVs since the 1990s, never had issues great sets.
today is September 17, 2019 and i’m gonna buy the LG C9 55 inch Class 4K Smart OLED TV w/ AI ThinQ. amazing how far 4k has come in just 3 years. HDMI 2.1, webOS, Dolby Atmos, thinner than an iphone for $1599.99.
Dude, rockin vid. Just what I needed to see at just the right time
Funny how that works.
Rule 6: don’t have it shipped through Fedex. I’ve had both TVs I’ve ordered arrive broken
Samuel Woodward buy from a local store.
NovaDoll well, luckily my new one finally arrived working.
...or UPS. I caught the UPS guy tumbling mine, end over end, up my driveway. The sound was sickening. If it hadn't have been for amazon's double-box/overpadding, the TV would've been shattered to bits.
Avoid Fedex. They suck horrendously!! Either pickup at store and inspect for cracked screen before leaving like I did, they allow you to, or have shipped UPS.
Samuel Woodward I agree!!! Never, Ever, Ever have your flat screen shipped
I spent the rest of the morning checking the specs of our new 4K TV and then realising that it didn't matter because it looks incredible anyway.
Lol
About to go on the market for a tv been like 10 years since I needed one this video helps alot
Thank you. Exactly the kind of video and info I was looking for. **Thumbs Up**
We still got an HD Ready / 720p screen in the living room. ^^
720p screen is decent enough, i only watch southpark and shit on it, for the real quality i go to my monitor.
lmao check out my 10 year old samsung one
We have a 576i screen. It is old and fat.
you are not the only one =) HD Ready 32" Sharp TV
Ox King for some funny reason 720p is awesome even when compressed 😊
Rule number 5, Buy known Brands.
I bought a budget brand but it still looks good. I had it since September.
conyo985 have you tried colour replication to see if the colours are on point?
RathØX I know this is old, but do you actually think anyone is trying to do professional photo editing on a TV?
Sanyo is good
Ditto, got a 55" TCL after sweet talking the store manager and getting a display model half price.
My first HD TV was a Vizio 32". At the time the over the air free local signals haven't gone digital yet. I had DirecTV, was only like 5 or 6 HD channels at the time. Over the next year or so, I was ready. As the networks went digital, and cable channels went HD. I loved it. But 32" was now to small. Went and got a 47" Vizio. Watched it, loved it for a year or two. Then got curious about the 3D TV's. Going to the theaters, watching new movies in this new 3D tech, (Avatar, among others). Wanted that type of experience at home. The 47" Vizio had some pixilation problems after less than two years. Dark spots, was disappointing. So my next was an LG 55" full 1080p HD, 3D Cinema TV. The 3D Blu Rays are great, the 3D ppv from DirecTV was great. As good or better than the 3D movies in the theaters. But the up convert of regular programming to 3D wasn't so good. I don't watch as much 3D nowadays, but the LG TV is still kicking ass after, eh, bout 5 yrs or so. So I did just purchase an LG 55" 4K, UHD, HDR, TV. I've spent the last couple months researching, comparing, and it looked like my best option. It'll be delivered in a day or two. All I can hope is that it's as impressive and as durable as my other LG. I'll always have it for a backup. Sorry so long.
@@samneye100 for sharing my experience with a few TV's? Ok, I'll see therapy right away
Dumbass.
Thanks very informative and easy to understand the tech bits.
I bought a 65 inch 4k LG OLED C6 for just under $3k. Not cheap by any means but still not bad considering it's a freaking OLED and was going for almost double the price not too long ago. 4k movies and the PS4 Pro look amazing on it though.
noventay4 No, most PS4 games with a pro patch run at 1440p or 1800p upscaled to 4k, though some even run at native 4k like NBA 2k17. Due to the checkerboard upscaling games look almost as good as native 4k.
NUCK CHORRIS I may consider taking a photo of uncharted 4 or battlefield 1, post it on the internet, and see if you can point out any obvious jaggies, because I cant. Uncharted 4 is only being rendered at 1440p before being upscaled and it looks excellent.
And the whole UHD vs 4k thing, they're almost the same thing, only difference is that 4k is SLIGHTLY wider, but it's basically semantics to me. Go troll somewhere else, and for the record I also own a Xbox One S and a gaming rig, being a console fanboy is stupid and childish. I mean I own a fucking 65 inch OLED, a tv many people cant afford, what makes you think I'd restrict myself to one gaming platform? Again go troll somewhere else.
By the way a KU7000 isn't that great of a 4k tv, it can't even display HDR correctly and lacks true 10 bit color, it can only read the Metadata for it, not to mention the panel has a less than ideal pixel structure which can make an image either look too soft or slightly jaggy. Maybe the PS4 Pro doesn't look too impressive to you due to the tv it's hooked up to. Try a Samsung KS8000, or better yet a LG OLEDC6, after you've done that then you can come back and talk shit.
03chrisv damn you roasted him b6 owner 65 inch he's bugging hard .
Damn console peasant, that is why you don't have any money left for PC masterrace :D
03chrisv i need that fucking tv 😱
TCL - 65" Class - LED - 6 Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR Roku TV
Model:65R615
This is a great inexpensive TV
Thnx
You don’t need the latest and greatest to enjoy 4K and HDR. All you need is a set that can display millions of colors and support at the least HDR 10. Reason not to buy an expensive TV is 8k will be coming out someday and by the time your 4K set finally wears out, you’ll be ready for it.
I bought a 4 K HDR Samsung tv nu8000 75 inch and I love it, was researching my ass off and was confused and nervous and end of financial year sales helped a lot. I spent a little more but I’m more than happy with what I bought, going from soniq 55!inch HD tv $499 to my Samsung $3800 its night and day. I’m so happy with the tv I love it and also I’m 2.5 weeks away from Xbox one x and ps4 pro, I have a S and PS4 at the moment. :) cool video though.
I learned so much ... thanks for great content...
I remember when tvs had valves in. I think I might be getting old.
Ha! I literally just bought the 49 inch version of the exact same LG TV yesterday at Sam's. It is fucking awesome.
On point! I sold my 40" Samsung curved and got 43" Samsung 4k hdr pro for $380 😁
There's another newer revision for that which was 7 series fxza but stayed away because it was edge lit and using my common sense, it's always bit Malcom in the middle 😛 got full array ips and delivers great color and contrast...
Someone who finally has a awesome and funny video. Thanks for the rare laugh 😂
Make sure it has HDMI 2.0 and HDR upscaling.
And maybe, MAYBE, you might see a slight difference and you want to convince yourself.
Based on the reviews both on Amazon and LG's website, the opinions of those in the comment section trashing the LG he bought and berating him for his choice are by FAR the minority opinion based on those who have actually bought and used the TV vs. obsessing over specs on paper. I can't stand snobby elitists. I mean, go out and buy whatever you want, but stop belittling others and their choices just because they like something that isn't _your_ cup of tea, but apparently is for most consumers.
It's so much more like that in the auto industry. People that rave about price and specs of new cars are never the ones that actually go buy them so it gives false sense of reviews to buyers and manufacturers trying to target buyers
The thing is....if you're used to using a scooter, every car seems like a great upgrade. Going from HDTV to a 4KTV will seem great irregardless of which one if its not a cheap knock-off manufacturer you've never heard of like VisiPlusPro. That doesn't mean a BMW and Hyundais are equivalent. It's still reasonable to access the differences between 4K TVs when upgrading from HDTV the same way it might be reasonable to access the difference between cars when upgrading from a scooter. Many of these people with great reviews on Amazon are reviewing it well because they don't know any better. It's just much better than their HDTV so they are happy. What they don't realize is it could have been another notch of improvement once more but ignorance is bliss.
@@MathTutorVideos ..Going from hdtv to 4k in reality is downgrading. you got the manufacturer selling you something with fancy terms and promises yet is still is impractical.
This is very helpful and informative. Thanks
Your video was super informative!
Thank you, sir!
As a consumer, here are my questions about any new tv: Does the tv have a good, sharp picture? Is the tv going to last long enough to justify the cost? Is it easy enough to operate without the need for me to take a continuing ed class at a local college to sort out the details of the tv's features and benefits? Can I just turn it on and watch it after a brief and uncomplicated setup? That's what most people want to know. All the tech jargon is great, but the video is not appropriately titled for its depth of the review.
@0:50 The dog was like :" Whassup?"
Just purchased a 2020 Sony 4K, 85 inch TV - WOW! It is amazing.
Great Video Paul! Thanks for the Help,
I watched the whole video then realised it was two years ago.
i saw your comment was posted 4 days ago which made me think the video was only a few days old, but then i read the rest of your comment.
Similar rules still apply tbh. Although now we have the OLED vs QLED debate. The prices are shockingly much cheaper in the 2 year period that time has passed. Can easily get a 65inch LCD/LED for $500 now.
3 years ago.
Victory Teacher same lul
@@naveenmagapu4670 Yeah but the 100Hz tv's still are on the pricier side. Like a 65inch 50 or 60hz can be obtained around €1000, compared to 100hz wich go around €1800+
Imo the most important aspect:
Is the TV big enough?
Depending on your viewing position it might very well be that with a 50" TV 4K is a waste.
This is something many people overlook - but you can very easily be in a range where it is physically impossible to tell the difference between 4K and good old 1080p - and yes, even with a 65" that is still quite a real scenario.
ABaumstumpf exactly. It irked me that Paul wants us to buy as big as possible. More often than not, 50" is well enough. For this high of a resolution, it's only justifiable to have a large screen... But like you said, the viewing position may not allow for comfortable viewing with TOO large of a screen.
ABaumstumpf Lol I bet you don't own an 4K, the difference is night and day, even on a 50 inch.
Alexandro Hutt So you have superhuman vision better than any person ever on record?
ABaumstumpf lol. Dude, you just need 20/20. I was blown away by a 50 inch 4k in store, and that was before hdr. Then again, I was like 3 feet away. Still looked incredible though.
Nice talk. I purchased a curved OLED TV despite the critical talk and i really like it. The last two TVs I purchased including one flagship model suffered from glare in my room. Not the curved one. I also like curved monitors. There is a certain view to them that I find beneficial even when not dead on center.
I just got a 4k 58 inch samsung smart tv and i love it. I got my son a 65 inch samsung 4k smart tv and he loves it too. So very pleased.
You forgot to mention hertz. Native 100hz is a must.
800 upscaled hz is the same as 100hz
And also i dont think HDR looks that good in alot of situations
Simon Mol no tv advertised native refresh rate. always look for the effective 240hz to get actual 120hz. which is good for me
Plus any movie at 120hz is unwatchable, its terrible. For gaming hell yes, id never watch tv at those refresh rates it hurts your eyes
Simon Mol Wait, so there are TVs can genuinely do higher than 60Hz? Wow, you just taught me something.
+ShehzaanA Abdulla its not the same way refresh rate works on monitors.
I see a lot of comments here with poor and misguided opinions. There most certainly is a lot of 4k content out right now which you can stream from netflix and other services but there is also 4k UHD Blu-Rays which look astounding. Another point I would like to make is that even though you might not be viewing purely 4k footage right now, you may be in the future and 4k panels are still the best looking panels we have today and it NEVER hurts to future proof which this is hardly future proofing IMHO. Lastly, with prices these days, it is a much better option to buy a decent 4k tv for a decent price than a 1080p tv for a very low price because it will quickly depreciate and 4k tv`s are much better experiences anyway.
The problem isn't so much the lack of 4k content it's the fact what you WANT to watch probably isn't in 4k...im not watching 2016 Ghostbusters in 4k lol but I'd like to watch 80s Ghostbusters in 4k... people aren't going to watch garbage jist cos it's 4k and most content isn t currently 4k....i mean lots of content still isn t even HD lol
I'm looking on the 75PUS6754, I wanna big screen and this 75" only cost 1000 USD or so. Also, I always liked the Idea about Ambilight, but back when I bought må last TV Philips were just so unsharp compared to Samsung and LG, but now the Philips I have seen looks fine.
Anyone whit any experience of this product line? Or anyone with any thoughts on this?
منابثنلببزب
Valid points. Now there are Dolby Vision and HDR10+ and 100Hz the important parameters as well.
these 4 Rules are...wait for it......excellent :)!! Thank you
For me input lag is on my list. I play a lot of games and a sluggish response time is not ideal.
You forgot about the TV/screen processing lag :-O properly a somewhat important topic for your audience. It can be a total deal breaker if you want to use it for gaming.... bad Paul, shame, shame, shame...
yeah but I commented on that in the comments before anyone could call me out on it :-P
Videoscord HDR has better colours. It's nice to have. If it's cheaper to go without it and you can't really afford it then don't worry about it, if you can then get it.
do you have a hdr compatible device? Yes>Buy with HDR No>Don't
acnfanmanin That is silly.. next STB/Console/computer you buy will be HDR capable. So if possible then yes get a TV with HDR, it also ensures that the TV has more correct color rendition in general.
Jakob Engell Well that too.
Informative. A lot of things to consider when buying my next TV. As far as the curbed, that's just your personal preference. There's nothing bad about it but there's nothing Superior about it either.
Great video. Explained this in 6 minutes... which took others waffling for 45 minutes!
Did I miss the part where he talks about refresh rates?
you slick deal
I personally have the Samsung KS8000. It's a massive upgrade from my 10 year old 1080p Sony Bravia (non-XBR). A bit expensive but it's one of the few, best 4k TVs out there in the market. I'll be keeping this one for at least 5-7 years from now.
The only thing that's still missing is a nice sound system which I'll be upgrading soon. I'll be revisiting some driving games and favorite films to fully appreciate the experience.
Wow almost the same boat, I'm upgrading from 10 year old Sony KDF-55e2000 to a 65KS8000. I've been making a list of shows and movies on Netflix to watch once the TV arrives.
The KS8000 is excellent - it replaced a Panasonic Plasma 720P TV I had in the living room and it is great. There are only a couple of good HDR TVs that work well for gaming and movie watching together - and this model is one of them. Plus there has been a $400 price drop since I bought it in Mid June. Bought a new 7.1 receiver, got Dolby Atmos speakers, new HDR blu ray player and I am in movie heaven. After a lot of research - I am very happy with my 4K HDR TV purchase!!
Comedy! Yes!!!! Subscribed and liked. Thanks for the laugh and great reviews
Thanks for reminding me about panel technology. Aaaaaand as it turns out Philips used VA panels on their 45 and 65in tv's and IPS on 50 and 55. Super weird but it saves me a bunch of moneys as 65 is way more expensive :D
"Actually..." lmao
Miss the days where you just buy a TV and not have to worry about does it have this and that.
Daz Phillips. Agreed :)
seriously, i just read some review about what a playstation 4 pro needs and now im watching all these videos on 4ks, oleds, hdrs, i have a headache.
Daz Phillips Ikr it feels like you're paying a lot and missing many features.
Ahhhhh Amen to that!
I have to disagree. The TVs you bought back in the day,
where you didn't have to worry about this and that, had crap pictures :)
Wow very helpful! I have no idea what my 4k TV has so now I'll be doing some sleuthing
I need to replace my 32 inch 4K monitor that dropped in storage. Am considering a TV
as an alternate option. Thanks for the info Paul👍🏻👍🏻🤓
That's what I did because it's a lot cheaper. I've never actually owned a modern monitor only the old square ones for the xp era I just use tvs.
I just got a 58 inch 4K UHD Samsung tv with a free sound bar for $650 and the original price was $1,200. I feel like that was a steal.
Black Kakarot That’s awesome they use great VA panels as well.
What was the name of the model?
Hey Weed, did you ever find any info and what did or are you going to purchase?
Aquatic Terra Firma Lol... he never responded but I got the 49" Q6F with my student discount.
Black Kakarot you got RIPPED OFF LOL
Watching this didn’t know it was from 3 years ago.
MarsInBako watching this saw your comment , thought it was a day ago.
3:37... brilliant!... earned like and subscription!!
THANK YOU, Paul!
Your editor gets a fucking high five from me!
Console gamers also should check input lag times.
Paolo Trianni exactly. Tn panel for me please
Paolo Trianni This is exactly why I pick up a Samsung sk8000 it's the best display on the market and it got the best input lag low and smooth gamplay
Da,Taper The ks8000 is not the best display on the market. Don't get me wrong, it's really good and has impressive HDR performance but it's an edge lit panel and it can't match the black levels of OLED, not to mention the bloom and halo effects that can stick out in dark scenes. For the price the ks8000 is a great tv but the LG OLEDs like the B6 and C6 are better in terms of image quality and contrast. The OLEDs don't get quite as bright but the HDR performance is actually superior since it can reach perfect black levels.
Any gamers
I'm planning to get a ks8000 very soon, do you think i should for the 49 inch or the 55 inch? its for my bedroom, its mainly for 4k pc/ps4 pro gaming, and netflix/youtube sometimes. and i will be playing alot of 1080p and lower res content on it as well (ps3, and the nintendo switch when its out) i tried a 65 inch, and felt it was wayy to big, definitely was not as sharp as i wanted it to be, cant decide between the 49 inch vs the 55 inch model, the 49 inch is alot cheaper though.
I bought an LG 4K Smart 55" last week. One of my biggest deliberations was which smart TV operating system to go for ? you didn't cover this, and this one really had me confused. Web OS on LG seems good. But before purchasing, I was really wanting Android OS (Sony, HiSense etc). In the end I bought an Android smart TV box for Android apps, and my LG OS built inside the TV runs Netflix.
Just got an LG OLED from B.B. for 700.00 off this weekend Memorial Day sale prices. That and thier highest end LG sound bars for 350.00. And free delivery. I had to go into the store for these prices. But worth the trip! These were great tips you listed. Made me extra happy with my purchase! Thank you!! Pssst....no kidney required!
No mention of burn in with OLEDs, I went for a QLED(No mention) by Samsung for this reason.
Organic compound has more of a degradation over time than an inorganic man made compound thats all. Plus OLED was developed from the kodaks patents sold to LG: Lucky Goldstar.
i'd buy QLED for the living room, OLED for the bedroom
Whow
@Lloyd Bonafide high end QLED displays have an extra anti-glare coating on them which makes them better in MOST living rooms, since it is common to have direct sunlight hit where you are putting your TV. As for always buying the cheap TV, the reason why you don't do that is because you don't get the new features every year. The HDR on a 399 TV is fake (doesn't actually support HDR formats), the motion is worse than TVs from 10 years ago (it may say motion 120 but that is 60hz), and you will never get superior color or contrast because you are still buying 8-bit edge-lit TVs even in 2019. The reason why these TVs suck so bad? Because people buy them without thinking saying 'well TVs will just get better later so might as well buy cheap'. Just because a TV is cheap does not make it a good value.
Wait, Paul doesn't edit his own videos?? Huh
I edit about half of them, and Joe edits half, and the other half are live events.
150% videos, I like it
or 25% of Paul's videos are edited by him the other 25% by Joe leaving 50% as live events.
Either way, I like it
Paul's Hardware I am sorry sir but after seeing your hack setup, in which u have your satellite speakers on the floor instead of on pedestals... central channel on the floor and to the side... and visible cables... I am sorry but you have no authority telling anyone how or what to buy anything. and oh my god I just saw... your surround speakers are in the front, on the ground ( lol)... just a bit appart. atrocity. you're clueless about home theater and u just bought ( of course) -- a budget TV. lol
Just got the LG TV OLED55B9PLA model Black Friday deal for £1100. Amazing technology. Upscaling the 1080 signal looks great on the main free view stations. The lower resolution channels 576I not so good, but then again you can’t polish a turd, lol. Blacks are amazing as well on this. Also good range of 4K streaming from amazon, Netflix, etc available. This is a great budget OLED if you don’t want to spend the bigger bucks/higher money. If you can afford it, go for an OLED or QLED, it’s the best technology.
Thanks for the heads up its good to know, I'm looking at LG OLED or 9000 series. though i don't want to spend the loot
Great vid.
Had my 65" OLED E6 for the past 3 months...best TV ever.
K1NgKourosh Hahaha you paid more than a good car for your TV? Go Sony instead.
TotalFreshness I had the Sony ZD9 for a week...then saw OLED in the flesh in a store. Swapped it instantly. Once you go OLED you cannot go back to anything else inferior.
Also I can afford it so price is not an issue for me, I just want the best.
K1NgKourosh haha you swapped a tv that cant handle the HDR10 standard and lg can only emit you 500 nits of brightness to not give you a true hdr experience. And you're losing out on details in those dark scenes since pixels shut off. Try watching gravity on an oled. You won't make out half of what's going on. Z9 is the best tv on the market right now.
Michael Dunn Peak brightness is nearly 700 nits. OLED has it's own criteria from UHD premium alliance...because it's in a different league and cannot be compared to old LCD technology.
90% of professional reviews have rated the E6/G6 OLEDs higher than any other TV for 2016.
HDR 10 is fine on these TVs but do you know what is better? Dolby Vision...another awesome feature of this TV.
Once you experience OLED everything else feels inferior. Just go on AV forums etc and see how many have owned both the Z9D and the E6/G6...there's a reason the Sony is a much inferior with it's bleed and clouding not to mention lack of DV and the awful Android TV OS...
E6/G6 is king...and what else has happened? Sony are now rumoured to be entering the OLED market for 2017/18.
K1NgKourosh No one measures PEAK brightness. LED's do more than 2000 nits if that's the way you're gonna look at the numbers. If you calibrate your LG OLED to correct settings you will be around 400-500nits max.
Actually, the Sony XD93 or ZD9 and Samsung KS8005 gets much better reviews than the LG Oleds.
Hey there. I liked your video but had some questions about it. 1) this video is about buying 4k tvs, and the tv you bought isn't technically a 4k tv and is certainly not uhd (premium) certified (another thing I'm surprised you failed to mention when you called that tv "hdr." it is most certainly hdr compatible, but it is NOT hdr enabled and there's a big difference. Speaking of big, I'm not sure I've ever heard an av expert ever recommend a 60 hz 65" TV. How come you don't talk about refresh rate (at least in respect to screen size) at all? And then lastly, out of everything you didn't talk about in world of 4k uhd, why did you pick your last main point to be stay away from curve? Especially now that there's only a $200 dollar difference, if any sometimes, between the flat and curved version. Thanks
2020 Just picked up an LG 43" 4k and love it. Thank god it has all the goodness. $249. I went in kind of blind. After some tweeking Skyrim and RDR2 look incredible.
What LG model?
@@samharvey5110 www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-43um6910pua-4k-uhd-tv
I have a 4K HDR TV it's a Hisense 43" TV it was $320 it's a Great TV Love it... Also thanks to you now I understand HDR, 4K, & other stuff about TV...
That corgi tho
“Actually” 😂
Great rules list. I'm looking to purchase an LG in the Black Friday sales (UK) this week, 2018, there are two models I'm looking at, 55UK6470PLC and 55UK6950PLB. Both comparable with a few minor differences, namely the price, the 6950 is £130 more expensive. Doing some more research, I've found differences as follows;
HDMI: 6470x3 , 6950x4. Backlighting: 6470-Direct LED , 6950-Edge-Led (Local Dimming). Speakers: 6470-DTS; 6950-DTS Virtual X; Interpolation Technology: 6470-PMI; 6950-TruMotion.
In reviews, the LG Software has come out by far at the top of the list and also includes the ThinQ technology.
The only real difference I can see to justify the extra cost is in the speakers. The reviews on DTS Virtual X come out quite favourably but not sure in my small-ish room whether this would make me want to fork out the extra cash. Any thoughts?
Great information, much appreciated.....
