Well said!

Thankfully there is nothing in my being that makes me want to follow the herd - any herd. Perhaps that why I like Axiom stuff so much.

I'm not going curved screen & not going Atmos either...

It does seam kinda silly to have a curved screen on anything less than about 10' wide. I set 12' away from my 8' wide screen in the HT, and I've not ever felt a need for it to be curved.

My living room TV is a Panasonic Plasma, 1080P. Great image, and dark blacks for a room with a lot of ambient light. I never would have thought an LED TV would look as good as my plasma, but I'm doubting that after looking at a few 4K displays.

Heck, our media room tv is still an old 2002 Toshiba RPTV!!




yep, can't give these things away these days but on that note, the picture has a nice film quality to it and in high definition, the image is still pretty good.
Colours aren't as sharp and don't pop like modern LED but i don't want to change it out until OLED picks up steam a bit more. I just don't like the faults of LCD and LED.

Make no mistake, the minute a full surround screen array is affordable (think "Gamer") I'll have one.
I realize the display setup in "Gamer" is holographic but love the concept.

Too funny... I just gave my kid our old Mitsubishi 48" TV. Looks just like that Toshiba. Bought it in 2001.

I bought the LG OLED and set it up in the living room 4 days ago. It does show some reflections when the TV is off and you are walking around the room. However, when seated I do not notice any reflections. I have huge picture windows off to the right and left of the TV which is actually in the corner of the room. The curve, although very slight, seems to turn away from the light coming in from these windows. Even watching golf on a sunny afternoon ~ never noticed any reflections. Mind you if I were to ignore the content on the TV and search for reflections I don't doubt they'd be there ~ really you just don't notice them.

I really like the TV and it is much better than my Sony Bravia LED that was only 6 years old. The Sony started getting black and purple bands which is why I was in the market for a new TV. I thought I was going back to Sony, been a fan for 40 + years, but after seeing the LG OLED I thought I'd give it a try. Sure glad I did, it is an awesome TV.
This TV is not 4K, and the curve is less than on most other brands.

Congratulations on your purchase !

I used to be a Plasma TV fan but the LG OLED changed my faith. It offers the ultimate viewing experience !

Enjoy !

Orca,

How far do you sit from the TV, and what size did you buy?

I have a 65" version of this Toshiba(circa 2001)in another room with a video processor and Darbee "darblet" connected to it and you would be amazed at how good the picture still is and, other than plasma and perhaps the newer OLED monitors, no technology today can match the blacks of a "good old CRT". The warranty was THREE YEARS! These monitors were also particularly well served with proper and accurate calibration. Certainly, the picture isn't as sharp and bright as current technologies, but one thing for sure, I don't expect any of the sets today will ever come close to matching the life span of these babies.
