I remember when TV shopping was easy, you had a particular technology, whether it's LCD, flat screen, 1080p, bam buy the tv that has what you want. Now they differ considerably from model to model, that $300 Samsung 4K at costco? Why is it $300 but the other 4k that's the same physical size is nearly $1000? One has extra color enhancing flakes tossed in during production, the other doesn't, but do I care about those extra fairy flakes? PITA I tell you!
I don't have an OLED so I'm curious--what exactly did you do that wouldn't harm another picture type?Damn, that's a helluva nice price. However, after ruining one LG OLED with my viewing habits, I ain't gonna buy another.

See the post above!I don't have an OLED so I'm curious--what exactly did you do that wouldn't harm another picture type?
Thank you! Sounds like that old issue with CRTs is still alive and well.See the post above!
how is this compare to C7 or E7 model?
Oh I agree, it wasnt a point of blah oled, but there's the b8, c9, etc.. how do things change generationally? I mean at Costco they still asimilar size lg oled TV for more than twice the price, so why? Is there something more than just an old stock they want to get rid of?Lol, well we all have our priorities and preferences. If you've seen OLED in person though, it's hard not to notice how much better the contrast is compared to anything else.
It is not just about the sizes. The 2019 models have better processing, get brighter and offer VRR which you get with HDMI 2.1. New model year TVs are always stupid expansive. This is the best time to buy new high end TVs. Jump on them now if you are intrested cause you not going to find the new model for sub $2000 til this time next year. Like SeegsElite said the B8 is the kind bang for your buck atm. Can't beat the quality you are getting for around $1k atm.Oh I agree, it wasnt a point of blah oled, but there's the b8, c9, etc.. how do things change generationally?

Supposedly Walmart is clearing out last year B8 55" OLED for $999. Very YMMV. Worth looking if you are looking to buy.
I would have been very tempted by this a couple of weeks ago. I bought a Samsung Q8F instead of OLED to go in a bright room. My main viewing room, with better light control has an LG B7, and it's the best looking TV I've seen. I expect to use it for as long as the Pioneer Kuro plasma it replaced.

My Panasonic ST60 plasma was the best TV I ever owned. It was damaged beyond repair during a move about six years ago.Yup had a family member do the same thing. It’s only noticeable in some situations now though like a white or black area over the burned in logo. Happened like 1 month after warranty ended too. Meanwhile I’ve got one of the last Panasonic Plasmas in a bedroom that has no burn in and hope it stays that way.
OLED is also amazing for its ability to not color shift from viewing angles. Probably the most noticeable thing out the technology to me.
