I thought the only difference between the 6700 and 7500 was 3D and some other "TV" features but they shared the same panel. Now there's this talk of the 7500 having a better panel?
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

Blur or whatever you wanna call it, doesn't change the fact that that the posts i'm reading say its not a great fit for gaming...
Trust me, I want it to work.. but i'm trying to be objective and not be blinded by "OMG 40" monitor"
Couple points:
1. Anti-"blur" features seem to be part of the paycheck for various marketing depts. If you wave your hands or anything fast, you see blur; it's simply how the natural world works.
2. Calling something and the opposite of something the same term is just confusing. It's like saying that blender is too slow, but it might be too fast, too, because slow = fast.
^^^ are you still in your return window?
I'd seriously look into the 7500. Not to dissuade a brother from his contentment, of course!
If PWM is a nonissue for you it is the best of everything. Just beautiful.
For sure. I have several more weeks before my return window ends.
I was gonna say, sounds like the 7500 might be an upgrade if the PWM on these doesn't bother me, and so far I've been good to go.
Damn you Brahmzy...I feel like I'm going to have a 48JU7500 on the way next week.![]()

This is why I prefer the term pixel response time instead of blur, and that's what it used to be called. Slow pixel response causes motion to look blurred.

It's not slow response, just a very small bit of residual persistence. If you look at the rting 6/7 series pic carefully, there's a tiny trail to the left (the logo and cam appears to be moving to the right in their test).
IMO folks are being trained by marketing depts to specifically look for this, and making a much bigger deal out of it than it is. Motion in real life often has much more apparent persistence, so I wonder how much the fix is being sold for.

Not a "better panel" so much as more TV specific enhancements and possibly faster pixel response. Which could result in less motion blur when gaming.
But for all you lurkers reading this prior to a possible purchase and not posting, the 6700 is still really, really good. The vast majority of us have been blown away by them. I almost feel as if it's my duty to test a 7500 so that I can add to the knowledge base of comparisons.
You don't have the panel. You like to tell people who have it that they don't know what they're talking about. You should stop. The image on the Rting review is not representative of what we are seeing.
It doesn't work like that. That is not how our brains/eyes work. It is horribly unnatural.
Here are other added stuff that may or may not be relevant:
Improved motion blur, 24p pull down, glossy screen with better contrast, less ambient reflection, 240hz something something, led local dimming, wii like remote that you can move a cursor' and 444 on all inputs if you plan to connect more than one PC.
Ok guess I'll still be going with the 6700 then. I'm not concerned with having slightly less motion blur as motion clarity isn't why I'm after this display.
6700 has the Wii-like feature in the remote as well, just FYI. Are we sure the LED dimming is different? First I've seen that..
I guess the 6500 is the only one with regular remote. Local dimming, it could be why sometimes the blacks get really Inky black on these panels.[/URL]
Is the input lag bad enough for the 6500 and 6700 that they shouldn't be used for PC gaming? From my understanding, you can't do 4:4:4 and game mode at the same time, right?
Do you know if there are any other differences besides the remote and the curved screen?
Has anyone gotten the 48" 6500 (flat)?
I know people seem to be pretty hyped up on the 48" curved, but I'm just debating whether the markup is for me.
My other option is the 40" flat. I'm currently very used to my viewing distance on a 23" HD monitor, and to "test" the transition to a 40" UHD monitor I've been scaling my browser text to 90% (but the DPI difference is more like 86%). I'd rather not have my viewing distance have to decrease to maintain a similar level of clarity because I know the area of light will be that much more overwhelming and bright, so I was considering the 48", but at that point, I don't know if the curve is necessary or simply...recommended.
P.S. I've been unable to find the radius of the Curve. Any info on that? Approx how many inches forward the edges are on the Z-plane compared to the Center?
I wouldn't worry about the input lag. If you have KD of 5, you will still have it. If you suck like me, you will still suck. 20ms won't make a difference. 444 only really matter with desktop work. However, the colors are off between the two as certain processing is turned off on game mode. You can fix game mode to how you like it with the color settings.
None that I know of.
48" is enormous, you should go curve if that's the size you want. I returned it for a 40". Much. More manageable. 48" at 3' distance it's IMAX. Bring your sun shades as well.

Just finished a few hours playing around and benchmarking my Titan X on the 48ju6700, and I think part of the problem in the thread, why we're seeing so many "I see blur...I don't see blur" debates is based on whatever display you're coming from.
For me, I'm coming from gaming on a 2011 Sharp 70" 735 model 1080p LCD, and a Dell 3008 30" display.
Both of which are shit for gaming, with big lag and heavy blur. But I've been using them so long, that the 6700 actually has LESS blur than what I'm used to, lol.
So obviously YMMV.
I'm positive that if im were coming off a year spent with a fast <10ms 144Hz display, especially with g-sync, the 6700 would likely be a mess to me.
Bottom line: Take advantage of the return policies all reputable retailers offer and test drive them in your own home. Only way to know for sure, no amount of Internet advice can solve this debate. For me, I've decided that the 6700 is excellent, and won't be doing what i thought I would before spending some time with it, which is to return it for a 7500.
After finally getting the Titan X yesterday and having a ton of time to evaluate the whole setup in games, I'm happy with the result.
For those who purchased a curved model, why did you buy it? And are you happy with it? I've read some articles calling it a gimmick, and others saying it's more immersive.

I like the curved 40" TV.
The edges feel the same distance from my eyes as the center. The 40" has been a very comfortable transition for desktop use.
Tint for white leds at lower current will be bit warmer, but not all that much for the ratio we're talking about here, <<10x.
