swt61 Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 Have you considered upgrading your eyeballs? 1

Yes, but need to take care of my allergies and my other health issues (sleep apnea, etc.) first, just in case they change things, I don't want to have to upgrade them twice, and I'm not even sure they will. Also, I've decided I don't really care as much. I still get that "ooh and ahh" feeling from "big" movies like Ghost in the Shell: Innocence, and Gravity, as much as little ones like Under the Skin, Ex Machina, and Thirst, even at 720p, so I've decided I just don't really care that much. Which sucks, because I have a 4K TV that I've never used.

shellylh Posted January 31, 2017 Report Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) LG, really? I have always thought of them as a cheaply made product. In the past I've always bought Samsung or Panasonic (of course the last one I bought was in 2009 I think)? Is LG better now? Edited January 31, 2017 by shellylh
MexicanDragon Posted January 31, 2017 Report Posted January 31, 2017 OLED. Top of the line. Well, the B6 and C6 are almost top of the line, where the E6 is top of the line (that's what Jeff bought.)https://www.cnet.com/topics/tvs/best-tvs/ Another take, which has the E6 as the upgrade pick: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-tv/ B6 is flat, and C6 is curved with 3D. We can usually find a deal for you when you're ready to buy, but IIRC, you're more of an "Amazon or local" kinda gal, so Best Buy or Amazon (But if you go through Amazon, make sure to find the HC link so Tkam gets some $$$.) There are other good options, but OLED is the best. Relative to cars, E6 would be M2, B6 would be M235i. Both fantastic, both more than what most people need, both HC approved, but one is 30% more. **BRENT** 1

I don't really get where you thought they were more cheaply made. I have a soft spot for Sony and Sharp, but that's a couple years old (is Sharp even still in business?), but can't recommend them in the face of the OLED onslaught...definitely get an OLED...

If I were buying a new TV, it's what I would get. I wouldn't get a curved one, though. Edited January 31, 2017 by EdipisReks1 1
VPI Posted January 31, 2017 Report Posted January 31, 2017 I have replaced all my Samsung TVs with LG and could not be happier. OLED / HDR is the real deal, especially in rooms of varying light levels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3
shellylh Posted January 31, 2017 Report Posted January 31, 2017 Cool! Thanks guys. I'll probably get the B6, I would find a curved tv annoying I think. Now I just need to convince my friends wife to let him have my old tv (she doesn't like any tvs in the house). First world problems. 1
VPI Posted January 31, 2017 Report Posted January 31, 2017 The B6 is a solid buy. Same panel as the E6, main difference is the aesthetic, glass edges, and the Harman kardon Soundbar that comes attached on the E6. The b6 also doesn't have 3D but that seems to be dead anyways.

recstar24 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Posted January 31, 2017 Arg, why does reading head-case now lead to spending more money...that freaking TV looks awesome. Though I still love my Panny GT50, plasma still rocks. 2

Hopstretch Posted January 31, 2017 Report Posted January 31, 2017 HC demands the 77" wallpaper model. http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-OLED77W7P-oled-4k-tv 2.57 millimeters thick, light enough to mount on magnets etc. etc. 4
Craig Sawyers Posted January 31, 2017 Report Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) ^want! Edit - want less now I see the price. But, like I said, this is head-case! Edited January 31, 2017 by Craig Sawyers 1
guzziguy Posted January 31, 2017 Report Posted January 31, 2017 It's a lot less than the watch Andrew would recommend. 1

I actually like to wear the occasional flamboyant thing to offset my swarthiness. EDIT: NO! I did not mean assless chaps, I meant something like the watch...I'm pretty sure if I wore assless chaps, I would be more reviled than our current Oompa-Loompa. 1
