Nice one Whiskey

The order for my TV was cancelled by the company as I feared. Damn it.

Knob.

Happy for you though, sounds like an awesome setup. Just sad for me as it's not my own :'(

Post a pic when you got it looking as you want :)

OK so now I've had the chance to spend some time with this TV, I can safely say it's the most incredible picture I've ever seen. I've got a lovely 4k version of Pacific Rim and it's utterly mind blowing.

I'm waiting on a custom TV stand before I set the surround sound up, but the inbuilt sound bar is doing me a great service currently.

If you are thinking of buying a new TV, don't think about it. Just buy one of these things.

Nice. Did you settle on the the 55" version?

Yes I thought 55 was more than enough for the space. Once I have everything set up I'll upload some pictures :up:

Nice man

Funny you should bring this back up, I have been thinking about these for some ATMOS sound

I think budget might get in the way at the moment though

Still waiting on my new TV cabinet, hence using a pikey one for now and not tidying the wires or the boxes.

Can't recommend this OLED enough buddy; brilliant colour. The E7 is apparently 25% brighter than the E6 (The one I have) but pretty much everything else is the same...if HDR is your thing there is support for HDR10 and Dolby Vision out of the box :up:

There are still plasma TVs out there?

My first panel was a plasma. I still remember the day so well paying $14k AUD back then thinking they'd never get any cheaper :smirk: I could have bought a small car for the money...

Gawd that Panasonic 42inch was a heavy beast but a great set. Sold it in 2011 for $100 :smirk:

I bought two Samsung PN8500's right before they stopped making them around 3 years ago.

A friend was debating whether to go LED or OLED - I remember him saying the difference in quality was incredible. What size did you go for?

Checking the price I don't think I'll be getting a 65" one :ducky:

The blacks on an OLED are incredible, but the nits do not go as high. LG claim 800 on the 7 series but the QLED Samsung can do a theoretical 2000 nits, but the blacks are nowhere near as good. Depends what you want; for me there wasn't a choice to make after seeing them one after another.

I went 55 inch and paid £2000, which people bawk at until they realise it's the E series, not the B or C series. You'll struggle to get the E6 now; pretty much isn't available from anywhere.

In the end my friend bought a 65" Hisense "normal" LED TV. It looks great, the reviews for it are great, but he said he wished he'd never looked at the OLED ones :D

Yeah, if you watch a lot of films/TV that's not too bad of an investment really :).
