i'm saving my nickels and dimes for when my Panny vt50 finally bites the dust...I'm thinking OLED. But that's a LOT of nickels and dimes. Major OT.

Oled is the best, but honestly would wait a few more years. Theyre most likely not going to have the longevity that LCD has... And right now a good LCD is every bit as nice as the old plasmas.

I have a pretty good feeling 5 years from now a lot of these early oled adopters are going to have fading colors on their screens.

And it won't just be while watching the Bulls in the 4th quarter.

Amirite?

My plasma crapped out a few weeks ago and I updated to a 4K Samsung. I think it's the 8000 series. My main complaint is that it is unnaturally bright and it was almost blinding first time I watched hockey in it. Also not as smooth as the plasma was. I loved the oled but I just couldnt justify the cost.

That's why hockey ice should be a pale blue and not bright white.


I fear the shifts might linger on it.



Linger on
the pale blue ice.

Looks solid.

Now get a soundbar if you don't have one. Almost all flat screen tvs have bad sound.

Get one of these too. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004OVECU0 There are more expensive versions with nice features but this is solid.

Yeah I browsed a couple at Costco when we bought the TV but was a little pressed for time so I didn't really get the dirt on them. Ill check out some reviews and pull the trigger on one.
