Well I would have said Plasma, but thats dead, and not 4K

My Panasonic Plasma just died, If I could of I would have replaced it with another plasma.

So was looking at OLED Hrz was closest to Plasma's 600 but $4000 was too much for a unproved tech.

Also the lag was a little longer than Samsung 55" Class KS8000 8-Series 4K SUHD TV (2016 Model)

So content on the Samsung looks like ass compaired to my Plasma.

With all bells an whistles turned off and put to gaming mode, at least it does not look like I'm looking at a flip book.

The content is just not there once Neo/Scorpio/4K cable box are out this TV will shine right now I think the quality looks worse than a Plasma 10080p TV from 2008.

If you have an existing TV I would wait till 2017 for new OLED models to come out with better tech/price and availible content.

The 600 hz refresh rate on plasma TVs are bullshit. Well sort of. Each image has to be refreshed 10 times by virtue of the way Plasmas work. While that means it "refreshes" 600 times a second, it can't display anything above 60 fps. If you had video displaying at 600 fps, the Plasma TV wouldn't handle it. 

Here's an article explaining the refresh rate of plasma TVs and why it isn't comparable to the refresh rate of LCD TVs.



I would also avoid the curved screens seems ratther gimmicy and would get old quickly.

Sure it's not camparable at all, but it was smooth as butter with no soap opera effects with everything turned on, there is a reason why TV stations still look out for these Plasmas to preview on, beats spending 20K on a monitor. Watching LED makes me sick, have to turn everything off just to make it passible. With native 4k content I'm sure my nausea will deminish.

If you can afford it? then definitely go with oled. Absolutely nothing can touch it. It has to be seen to be believed.

If not, you can consider TLCs 4k Roku tvs. With as little as $600 you could even get a 65" set. look em up on Amazon.

Typically I would say get a projector, but the truth is there is too much involved with those to make it user friendly. And in all honesty with TVs getting as big as 75/85" these days, there is no need. An LCD/oled will blow a PJ outta the water all day everyday. It's only benefit is the size to cost ratio.... and even that isn't too hot when u consider all the other things u need to do to get things set up just right.
