There is a big difference between Oled and LED tv. LG's UHD all suffer from poor contrast and black levels.However the Oled is a different story, worldwide from users and reviewers rate it as the best and second to none. If you buy Lg, only go for the Oled. |

LG's oled s are the best tvs you can buy right now in Malaysia until Panasonic brings their oleds into Malaysia.However the Oled is a different story, worldwide from users and reviewers rate it as the best and second to none. If you buy Lg, only go for the Oled. Their LCDs on the other hand are quite disappointing. |

I'm using the LG Oled.
Yes great pictures. For 3D however I think Samsung is better. The 3D does not seem as clear or consistent as Samsung. |

In fact the whole range of LG UHD are the worst TVs I've seen in my life, except for OLED. The black level and contrast is even worse than China Tvs. Less than 1000 : 1.

i had a long dilemma, coming from myself preferring plasma and previous tv is plasma (pioneer kuro) which is still going strong albeit different location.
black, contrast, accurate color is the major key factors, well at least to me. oled brings back memories of viewing kuro for the first time and in some reviews people are saying its better. in other words, oled is on par or better than the reference level plasma, back then even 42" kuro is like 7-8k if im not mistaken.. |

QUOTE(Alexcsyan @ Jan 20 2016, 12:24 PM) Yes, they are using LG's oled panels, but Panasonic's video processing and whatever else they put into their tvs is much better resulting in that TV being rated better than LGs. This is all based on online professional reviews of course, but seeing what Panasonic is able to do with their IPS models vs LGs, it is quite obvious that Panasonic makes better tvs.LG have been slacking a bit due to their monopoly on Oleds. Their LCD tv range which used to be very good is now very mediocre. They seem to be focussed on oleds alone. I wonder if LG will sell their Oled panels to other manufacturers as well so that there can be more competition and choices for customers. |

The black level and contrast is even worse than China Tvs. Less than 1000 : 1. Read here :- Personally I think the UF950T is a good TV albeit being an IPS due to its Colour Prime (WCG) technology. Not suitable for dark room movies but otherwise good for living room. But the premium price makes it not worth buying at all.http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/uf9500, this is similar to uf950T. |

Actually that's the main criteria for good PQ, and why OLED is better than led due to pure plack and ability to turn on and off individual pixels. LG tvs all suffer from non existent black and only can churn out dark grey colour. This is also an indication of using cheapo panels.china tv tech is catching up nowadays, mi tv & le tv is 1 of the good sample, haier & hisense is abit slow in malaysia market but china do hav alot of latest & good model... |

QUOTE(Alexcsyan @ Jan 20 2016, 02:15 PM) Its a high margin low volume vs low margin high volume game. It could be better for them to sell the panels to others so that oled becomes more mainstream and the market share becomes bigger. I think this strategy makes sense as they will be able to sell more panels compared to the much smaller numbers now. Anyhow, its up to LG to decide the best way to milk their technological advantage. |

Never really have chance to test out OLED, only have chance to test out UHD at two of my friend house, one was Samsung and another was Sony forgot the model. For demo, presentation, photo viewing is good. But for actual movie viewing my 2cents suck, better off with FHD.
I will wait for OLED to be < RM5k (hopefully) to replace my Plasma. |
