OLED TV

04-24-2014

1st let me state that I consider myself an informed customer
and not an expert.
Hhgregg has an LG Oled tv in their store.
A word like "WOW" seems inadequate to describe the picture of this tv.
More appropriate would be "STUNNING".
The salesman was an idiot as I knew more about the TV than he did.
He thought that curved is better than flat. If this TV is that good then
I wonder what the Samsung will be like? Have no idea if LG has solved the
burn in problem or the color blue.
But as always there is one serious defect. The speakers on the TV were of the
2x3 inch variety and had 2 of them. Of course, the salesman thought this
gave great sound. What happened to a 15 inch woofer and a tweeter? Am I out of
date and that sound tech has progressed so far that these tiny speakers will
give High Fidelity sound? I doubt it!...... IMHO a separate box with a woofer
and a tweeter would solve this problem nicely. A symphony orchestra playing a
Brahms symphony should sound tinny with this crappy set-up.
Not everybody has room in their home for a 50 inch tv. What's needed is a flat
tv in the 24 to 45 inch variety. Guess I am expecting to much way to soon.

they have speakers(I believe Phillips) that are near invisible run nearly the entire length of the screen at the bottom, are completely flat and ultra-thin and give true 7.1, I do not recall the exact wattage rating though they were something like 2.5watt giving an effective 30w output of projected type sound (read had immense depth well beyond what you think the design would give)

They have some pretty impressive stuff out here in many different places, though of course many makers try not or cannot use the best stuff in one package for various reasons.

You'll never get real sound out of a TV's integrated speakers. Not only is it not economical for the manufacturer, but it is physically impossible on thin displays. Let the panel makers take care of the display and let the speaker specialists take care of the audio. The vast majority of people who purchase expensive TV's will believe anything the salesperson tells them. It's probably how Bang and Olufsen has gotten around.

I would love an oled tv, movies on my note 2 look amazing, unforunately oled's require my first born child (i'm not even married yet so throw in the cost of getting married too).

course years ago it was also impossible to make thin screens, to make extreme high def screens on small devices like cellphones and so forth. Speakers make sound by moving air one way or another, if they can shrink the device to still move the same air, you still get good sound, all depends on the engineering or none of what is currently being done should be able to be done, yet it is.

It is the seeing and hearing that is believing, you don't listen to the salesman tell you how great it is, you try it for yourself sort of speak, if its great its hard to argue with results.

One point they brought up, woofers, to get the level of bass folks want, you need to move a lot of air, so, can you make these wicked thin speakers that sound great, yes, however unless they can somehow to a multi-stage thicker version you will not have the whoomp to have the impact needed for thick bass.
