I have failed. I bought a 4K TV!

Put a protection plan on it. The 8 Series has been the most unreliable TV I've ever sold, and we've have more than half of them returned for the same kind of panel failure each time.

Good idea. You can do that after the fact, right?

You should be able to do it within the return policy of the store, but I would cover it through Square Trade. They're cheaper and cover accidents.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there isn't a TV out there aside from the Z9D that can even fully utilize Dolby Vision. DV needs a 12-bit panel to be fully utilized, and the only thing that has that or more is the Z9D (14-bit). LG can talk a big game, but DV just doesn't perform that much better.

Pretty sure LG's Oleds all have DV.

But it's a moot point, because what even uses Dolby Vision? Some Netflix content, but nothing Physcial that I know of. SO it's kind of a dumb trade off. I'll take fully uncompressed on UHD discs over compressed with DV.

FYI, I have a 2016 Oled LG which supports Dolby Vision.

Every LG 6 Series and up has DV, but they're all 10-bit panels. Being DV is designed for 12-bit panels, you'll get practically no difference on it. I've discussed this at length with our LG rep, and she admits that it's almost entirely for publicity.

 

That said, only 7% of HDR content will also support DV.
