OLED is fucking gorgeous, I'm hoping to get a 65" when I move, prices have really come down over the last couple years if you buy at the right time.

75"+ are still expensive but in a few years I imagine they'll be a lot more reasonable. 75" TVs are slowly going to become the new 55" as far as how common they get in people's houses.

excited about Sony's OLED offerings.. will never buy an LG set.

Although my current XBR is still nicer than the vast majority of TVs out there lol.. maybe an upgrade in a year or two

The only thing I dislike about the Sony is they use the shitty laggy ass Android TV interface. The OLED panel they use is just supplied from LG anyways though.

True that. My XBR is 3 years old now but it has the less bulky Sony interface

I went to a customers home who had a newer model that had the Android interface and I didn’t like it at all, I fact it was causing the TV to lose inputs etc. so yea..hopefully they clean that up.

Internal wise I’ll always take a Sony over LG

No one has answer this mans question.

The current OLED tv are already super thin.
What's the point of having wallpaper thin OLED screens if the picture quality is the same.
Eventually when the prices fall it'll be more appealing. But right now it's more of a FU money im rich.

Less weight, cheaper to ship easier to hang/move, make tv's larger, no need to hire someone to install a wall mount, no need to find studs, can get creative with the placement the list goes on. Imagine a store mounting one to a glass window.

Maybe is the OS or something but casting from my Ipad or any device never works. Everytime I turn to the TV on I have go into the apps, casting force stop, disable and then enable again. Then it will work fine till I shut the TV off. Calling/Online support does nothing because every single time they just ask me to reset the TV but can not provide me with a solid solution or why this happens.

Super annoying. For now I just have a HDMI from my PC to the TV but sometimes I want to use the PC when friends are over and they want to watch youtube or something.

Mine had a time where casting didnt work, but it worked its way back to working for whatever reason, can cast from any computer on the network whether wired or wireless, can just right click on the file and cast to device to the TV, only time it doesnt work is when the Codec isnt right

Blame the manufacture for not updating the software. The most reliable way to stream cast from you iOS device to the tv is still the Apple TV.

clearly you haven't been up to date on laser projector technology.

easily enjoy 100-200 inch screens.

300 if your room is big enough.
