I don't think that I have really felt particularly excited about news of ever bigger/thinner TV since the first 50" plasma TV. Probably because cost aside, I move too often to consider something so big, regardless of how thin they make it, and after a taste of projectors, it isn't the size that is going to impress me. So I rarely walk pass the TV section in electronic stores and it was only on a whim I did so yesterday. All the huge 4K TV made me think, "Hmm, that's nice.. I am still going with a projector if I ever settle down though".. until I came across an LG OLED curved TV.
Wow. The quality was spectacular. I didn't think there was that much more room for quality to improve, and it was just a case of making things bigger, thinner and perhaps with more features (3D and whatnot). I walked back and forth between the Sony and other manufacturer's flagship model, but every time I went back to the LG, it just looked better. I can't pinpoint what was better, the contrast, black level or what, but it just looked better. And I can't say for sure if it was down to the OLED technology, the curved screen or something else.
To be honest, they weren't playing a movie and it was almost a demo of sort. Some nightscape timelapse. For all I know, it was the video that made the TV look good. But if it is the OLED aspect, I'd love to see this scaled down to laptop displays. Granted I don't know if there are some disadvantage to OLED over LCD (I really haven't been following the tech), but that looked really, really good.
