RM7.5k for an IPS panel and it's a mediocre one somemore. Sony dropped the ball on this one.


X90/93D uses VA panels. They're generally pretty good, but expect it to be overpriced. Also if you play games, look elsewhere. RTings and HDTVTest got 53ms with it.

LG's defect rate the highest because they sell the most OLED TVs. Significantly more than both Panasonic and Sony combined so far, so that's an unfair comparison.

Both Sony and Panasonic employs different tone mapping algorithms, on paper the Sony performs the "worse" because it clips highlights and details. But in reality for most eyes, majoritywill perceive Sony as the best because it appears "brighter" and "punchier".

OLEDs are not easy to manufacture. Recently, LG has made improvements to their manufacturing process for OLED panels. Models made after April 2017 are expected to have some of the new improvements implemented, at least that's what I'm reading from Korean news and forums. There are of course no clear cut proof to this though.

Anyways, I went from an E6 last year, sold it this year for a C7. Wouldn't have gone with LG again if I weren't confident with them. While my panel is not perfect due to a slight bit of vignetting (a common issue that most people perceive it as a "defect"), I understand that OLED isn't perfect yet.
The best LCDs aren't even perfect anyways, I mean I've seen a Z9D with 4 dead LED zones in a showroom that not even the demonstrator saw until I pointed it out... so, you know.. :

Everyone expects next year to be the "tick" year for LG's next OLED panel. So we'll see how it goes. I'm here ready to sell my C7 for a C8 or whatever they're call gonna call it.

I believe Sharp will be entering the market for OLED soon?

It's a sad bug of upgraditis, it's a silly rabbit hole to be honest. On one hand, I'm secretly expecting HDMI 2.1 to put an end to all the issues HDMI 2.0 is having as well as having that all important variable refresh rate support... but the logical thinking is that, HDMI 2.1 will have its own host of problems as well.

Didn't lose anything when selling the E6 actually. Bought E6 last year at 23k, then sold it for 22k a month+ ago, then bought C7 for 20k. Actually earn 1k lol
Since they are all using the same panel, the same chipset, the base PQ is the same. It's just the little refinements here and there (the ABL being the most important one for me) that makes the C7 better.
