Yup,
OLED is a completely different tech. than LED.

I read somewhere that transmitted 4K is at about bluray level and hd is much lower than bluray.
Gives a good reason to go 4K if you take most from likes of netflix

would be interesting to compare modern 4k tv s to very expensive Pioneer Kuro plasma s of decade or so ago ?

As an analytical Chemist I have a theory about OLED TVs.

Anything that has an organic component will change with time (ashes to ashes). As such the OLEDs will degrade with time. Initial impressive screen displays will become less so and be more susceptible to things like screen burn.

As such I avoided their purchase for my TV bought last week.

Just my theory, but I think OLED TVs will eventually follow curved screens and 3D TVs into the history books.

My friend has one of those Pioneers, 60 incher. Cost him stupid money back in about 2008. But it is still better than any of the latest LED, OLED jobs I have seen. It also heats his whole house.

Hmm interesting. There s a 50 inch Pioneer plasma on eBay at the moment local to me thats got me pondering ?. Durability on something of that age could be an issue of course.

They do have a shorter life span than their LED equivalents, however I don’t think it’s a massive difference, the half life of a typical LED is about 5 years based on running it about 8 hours a day. My brother has got an OLED and I must say the blacks and overall contrast is much better than LED, it’s contrast range is way better too

Not way better than the best of the LEDs which are still cheaper than the OLEDs :)

Mike,

They were mind fuck good. Not 4K though.

I just bought a 65 inch Panasonic OLED introduced at £4K mid 2018 for £1500 from Richer Sounds interest free for 10 months.

It is excellent. Way better than my 55 inch LG OLED from 2016.

Might be the best value for money I have ever experienced on electronic goods. Check the feedback for it on the website. Everyone is very happy.
