| Azuren said: OLED loses too much grayscale to be considered good at blacks; OLED also has a very short lifespan, only three years until the blues begin degrading; OLED is subject to burn in, making it less than ideal for extended gaming sessions; the OLEDs (from LG) also lack a noise algorithm, meaning artifacting will become an issue as well. |
In the review they call it a little imperfection in the darker colors

You're right, that's pretty bad for games where you're wandering around in the dark a lot of the times.
Btw they don't call it burn in anymore, image retention is the new phrase, as it clears up after a few hours or days. Not great. Start a movie after a game and see the HUD imposed until it fades away?
I did not know they still had a short lifespan with colors fading over time. I had the same with an expensive plasma tv, was great at first, is pretty faded now. And had burn in too from 4:3 content. Basically the only way to watch 4:3 content is to zoom or stretch it to get rid of the color difference where the borders are.
What's the problem with artifacting? The tv doesn't generate the noise I hope? Or does it show up with streaming content and cable tv? (I don't think any noise algorithm can clean up the stuff they sell here as HD cable lol) But yeah I can see that sharp drop off in the lower brightness amplifying any visible artifacting.
Oh, well, CAD 6,000 saved. (too much here anyway)
They're still good tvs, a friend of mine has one and says it's great. (Has it less than a year though)
