I spent months reviewing TV's, specifically OLED unit after having a really good Samsung 55" LED (bought in 2009). I wanted a larger TV and 1080p wasn't what I wanted now that 4K TV's are well established (though I am looking forward to 8K TV's on the horizon). But as I looked at Samsung, LG, Sharp and Sony. As I went back and forth between the brands, the Sony OLED was significantly better than the other brands. To really see the brilliance of any of these 4K TV's, you need to watch a 4K Bluray and it's amazing. The color saturation and blacks on the Sony OLED is fantastic and the fact that the screen is the speaker is really impressive.

Was skeptical about the OLED compared to QLED And I gotta say, OLED shows more real color quality with the x1 processor compared to the QLED screens that express too much hot colors . Another cool feature is the Android os, you can install Plex and Kodi media player on the TV without having to buy a separate streaming device like firestick or Nvidia shield , controlling the TV over WiFi with your phone or tablet is a major perk. Google home integration. A TV guide built in for OTA TV signals is a huge plus. Leaning something new about this appliance everyday Sony has really stepped up their game . Looking forward to the new 8k master class models to roll out.

I worked at BB when they first started selling OLEDs. They always had the absolute best images and content on display in the stores and the ultra thin screen design looked sexy. Couldn’t wait to get it home. But the truth of the matter is that it will only look as good as the content you have playing. Fios/cable will look good but not great. Blu-ray’s look good but didn’t I notice any great upscaling to the picture. The tv speakers are never gonna be great on any of these thin TVs but I needed to raise the volume more than half way just to to able to hear basically tv. In my case I bought an open box set. I inspected it in store and there were no obviously issues. However it arrived damaged on both top corners and the base. Called their help line and after waiting 90 mins, the rep was pretty much useless. Needless to say the tv is going back. Not worth the money IMO.
