I still think the 60" Samsung Plasma I got for $238, in early 2015, is hard to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexicanDragon Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 In the immor(t)al words of Richard Dreyfuss(' character) in "What About Bob?": Baby steps. Though I did talk my new boss into a 65" Samsung KS8000, with the idea that it is cheap enough to use for a while until he gets his next place, and we can look at 75"+ OLED, and used the KS8000 in a secondary room. **BRENT** 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's basically the top contender for me and it's really difficult to double-down to get the LG considering that the Sammy would probably be a huge upgrade over the current set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to get him to go larger, but this is an upgrade from his 50" plasma in the space, which REALLY needed a 75"+. **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price-wise it seems like the Sammy will be even more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Everything I have read says the Samsung "QLED" is just marketing bullshit to try to make people think it is different than their standard screen and more like an OLED. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjones123 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Got Julie an LG B6. Saw the samsung ks8000 at best buy next to the b6 and it seemed super harsh even though it was on sale for 950. Those who also got the b6, did you have a film on top of the screen that you had to peel off? Tv we got had the yellow energy sticker on it. Just wondering why on earth they would stick that directly to the panel but I don't see a protective film. Also don't want to damage the screen from heat if there is indeed a film. Thoughts?

Grahame Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I remember there was a film on the back of the panel (think of it as a heat sink) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 When I had the chance to compare a LG true OLED display side by side with a Samsung QLED one, I liked the LG better. Big difference IMHO. I didn't see any plastic film on them, the stickers seemed directly on the panel surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitigir Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 My samsung plasma 1080 is still unbeatable in the color gamut and all that good stuff....well, 4K is invading the market, but not enough contents yet to justify buying 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Yes, have the final generation Panasonic plasma here in the UK and it's absolutely brilliant. Will be very sad to leave behind, but am bequeathing to a good friend who will appreciate all 110 lbs of it! Moving to a G6 LG OLED in the US house and interested to see how it compares. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Pfffft, TVs. Once I win the lottery, I'm just going to hire original actors to come re-enact the movies in my home theater. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
