highvoltage Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Price isn't practical for the size, imo. Will pay attention when it's affordable.Also, maybe the best "experience" in terms of picture quality, but I could see a well built projection set up providing an actual better "experience". Just my opinion, though.But most truly high-end projection setups cost even more than this does.Sure projection gets you size, but it lacks in image quality unless you move right to the top end of the market. I think the contrast, saturation and resolution are equally as important as the screen size in delivering a full, "immersive" experience.Projectors will always have issues with blacks (due to the bulb, etc) and getting black right is the most important element in the colour of your image. LED and LCD's have the same problem - dynamic-lit LED's try to get around it somewhat by dimming individual areas of the screen but it's still there. $9000 is a lot for a 55", but if that's the price as it enters the market, it's going to be a realistic option sooner rather than later. You also have to remember that OLED screens were double the price and 1/4 of the size just a few years ago. It's always been the technology looming to display an image that truly surpasses the best that plasma can offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someday they might be the ultimate TV experience but for now I am happy with my Panny 65" VT50 plasma...doesn't get much better than that..........http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-33199_7-57598963-221/seven-problems-with-current-oled-televisions/ Edited August 30, 2013 by classicrawker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman007 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 What do you guys think of the mitsubishi dlp tvs? I had a 60 inch and thought the picture was amazing. I sold it to my buddy and looking for another big tv for my new house. Im not moving anytime soon, so I have time. I know they don't make them anymore, but could still find them new in a couple of places. My wife and I cannot get into led. We just plain don't like the movement.

Black Sabbath Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 What do you mean exactly when you say you don't like the movement? The movement shouldn't be any different than what you were used to on your DLP besides the brighter picture, but I'd bet and say that the TVs you're seeing have the motion-flow setting on. It kind of makes it look too "real" or like you're watching a soap opera or something. Awful feature and now sure why anyone would use it, but most TVs have them on in the store and when people buy them they don't realize it's turned on automatically unless then turn it off out of the box.If that's not the case and you just don't like LEDs, look into a plasma, because even thought there may have been some decent DLP TVs, they are a thing of the past and really not worth buying one used nowadays or even new if you can find one.

batman007 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Great advice bs! I never knew the led tvs had that feature that you can turn off. That "real" feature is what I don't like. Knowing that I can start looking at more options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Yeah, if you see a TV that looks like that at the store, don't be afraid to ask them to turn it off so you can get a better feel for what the picture actually looks like. Good luck hunting and feel free to ask questions in here any time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Yeah, the curved screen is still "meh" to me. I'll have to experience it first hand, I suppose, but I thought it was interesting that this TV is only starting out at $4000. Granted it isn't an OLED, but I'm sure it still looks great.I'm still more interested in creating my protector setup for our basement than I am upgrading our TV right now, really.

Black Sabbath Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Looking at a Panasonic 65VT60 again... They had Lord of the Rings playing on it in Best Buy and it looked great. Motion-flow wasn't on, the picture wasn't jacked up and everything. Looked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motion-flow wasn't on, the picture wasn't jacked up and everything. Looked great.Panasonic plasma's do not require "motion flow" as plasma technology does not have the issue with motion lag like LCD's do. Once in while you might get some motion judder but is is minimal and they do have a setting to reduce this which works well as long as you don't crank up the setting to high as then you get the dreaded "soap opera" effect which most people find unpleasant.I have had my 65VT50 for over a year now and it is a flawless TV IMHO. If you get on you are going to love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Silly me. Should have known that it didn't even have the feature But yeah, it looked great. It is open box and it'd be $2,300. Thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pugachev Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Anyone see Samsung launched a curved 55" OLED TV recently?http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2013/08/samsung-oled-tv-review/index.htmI thought it looked a bit silly, but some early reviews have called it the best home theatre experience ever. Maybe a new development up at the higher end of the market that doesn't suck? How are the viewing angles? Looks like it would suck unless you sitting in the center. if you have friends over, anyone sitting off to the side would be SOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it would suck unless you sitting in the center. if you have friends over, anyone sitting off to the side would be SOL.If you read the Sound and Vision magazine reviews on this TV they are impressed with the picutre quality but don't like the curved screen as they feel it distorts the picture if you are sitting at normal viewing distance.Evidently it is expensive to make OLED panels but as the technology matures I have no doubt Mfg will come out with flat panels.............

Ryan95 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 So my friend has a jvc lt-32da30j tv that they have connected to the pc. Got great picture through vga but no sound as it's just vga. Their is no audio jack input so can anyone who may know how to get the sound from the pc through the tv speakers. I was thinking a 3.5mm jack from the audio out of the pc to 2x rca phono leads connected to the side of the tv, would that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlisOld Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Get one of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan95 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks and yeah I was thinking that would do the job, just a little unsure as would it work even if there would be nothing going into the yellow jack input (video)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlisOld Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I there is a VGA in on the tv then there should be some kind of audio in for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan95 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 There is a vga input at the back of the tv but no audio jack next to it. Just a s/pdfi port next to the vga input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
