I'll come right out and ask it: LG Electronics 55EA9800 OLED 1080p, or a 4k television?

OLEDs are used in TV broadcast as a quality control monitor for good reason. Once you have spent time with one, everything else looks washed out. Until now they haven't been a serious option for consumers (e.g. Sony's 24" display $4k+) but that has changed recently. If you have to choose without actually spending time with both, I would recommend OLED. You won't be disappointed.

OLED 4K is the answer. Why not have you cake and eat it too. That is what Jesus would do. All you need to do is mortgage your house and you can buy LG's 65 inch model.

Did the research. It's only 1080p. The 4k OLED TVs come out in the next couple of years, but they'll be prohibitively expensive.

I would go with the OLED. 4Ks look bad (from what I've read) with non-4K sources.
1627793
Apples and oranges. OLED is about vivid color and so will make any source look good. 4k is about resolution and so sources that are 4k will look amazing. The problem is there is not much programs that are 4k right now which is the same dilemma when HDTV came out. It will take some time for more 4k programming and when the OLED 4k TV comes out it will be extremely expensive. So for now, I went with OLED simply because it's currently the best choice.

OLED is amazing tech now. 4K content will be sparse for years. Even when 4K content becomes common, you may not notice any difference from common viewing distances of 6+ feet.

Hey Ken,Thanks for the advice and the tidbits on why the DLP was better than the plasma. I did stop second guessing myself and went ahead and kept the DLP and let me say that it's a fantastic television. Nah, I don't care about mounting it on the wall nor do I watch it from weird angles. Everything you said about this tv is true and I simply love it, man you should see what a Blu-ray or HD-DVD looks like on this tv, simply amazing! I am very happy I kept this tv, I actually posted a review and posted a picture of my tv, stand, and components in on the tv's page. But thanks for all your help, love the tv and wouldn't go with a plasma or LCD for the size and price of this DLP any day of the week!

Justin S.: I agree. Few would purchase if picture resolution was no better than the 2.4" displays off my now obsolete Casios. The test is to go to a news channel and see if you can read the scrolling display at bottom of screen. No doubt size and price is the factor. LCD color handheld TVs are no longer a novelty. Using an 'off the shelf' LCD display is far cheaper now as manufacturing costs in mass have lowered....the 'picture tube' has become obsolete. The question still stands as to what 'mobile TV' has to offer and how much it will cost.

If that's the 4K I would say go for it -I have a 48 which they said is too small to be any better in a 4K but a 55 and 65 you want 4k---my 48 is a great TV and a perfect size for my smaller den

Hi George. I'm not an expert on monitors, but I just had my tech guy install the LG monitor on the wall behind my desk, and once I figured out how to set it up to its native resolution, it looked great. My tech guy didn't address the issue of whether it was a true monitor or a TV, but I've been very happy with it so far.

I'm also looking forward to 9600. I think it's so far the best Led TV that is "affordable". OLED is at least a year or two from now.How is the smart TV? Do I need dual cores? I have an Apple TV and I just use it to watch Netflix. I don't think I'll use LG's smart TV any more than Netflix, either.

Price being no object I've personally narrowed it down to:1. Pioneer PDP-5010FD (not the Elite series but still very expensive)2. Panasonic TH-50PZ750UBut, since price is an object I'm weighing heavily, I am most likely getting the Panasonic, maybe even the 700U (trying to decide if I need the extra features of the 750U)I've seen enough side by side, no matter which model it always seems to go Pioneer #1, Panasonic #2, and Samsung and LG #3 with a fairly large gap between 2 and 3.

On a smaller screen, 720 is as good as 1080 -- hard to tell the difference. I think when you go over 40", you would be better served by 1080.

I just bought mine for BB yesterday. It does say in the menu and in on the box that it has 4k "upscaling". Not sure how good it is becuase I only have 1080p lg tv.

well consumer reports has the samsung 4053 as the best rated LCD, its only 720p though if you are lookin for 1080p.

I own the UN55B8500 and the picture is fantastic. DO NOT buy an edge lit set to achieve 3D. Early adopters will pay through the nose for 3D with minimum viewing material available. Edge lit will sacrifice picture quality.Wait for the full local dimming led technology with 3D. Wait one year to 18 months and there will be plenty of inventory with both features and the prices will start to come down. Both Samsung and LG will have sets soon with both features. Worth the wait and if you can wait a little longer prices will come down.

Yes all the above. but the LG BP730 i found it very unreliable. I've return more than 3 units since my original purchase. but with all its flaws i still own this unit. i just love the 4K Upscaling.

thanks everyone! I am going with the 120hz 100,000 to 1 ratio 46" 1080p Samsung LCD. its $1199 on Amazon with 2 yr same as cash. Best buy is $1309 plus tax with 3 yr same as cash.I am not going with plasma because I have windows in livingroom that will affect glare.

I purchased a 60 inch LG plasma tv to replace a 55 inch Samsung which failed after two years of fine service. My LG is slightly better than the Samsung and neither LG nor Samsung had the screen door effect. Based on my buying experience LG is my preference.

In terms of picture quality, I'd rate the 1080p models from these manufacturers in this order: Panasonic TC-LZ800, Sony KDL-37XBR6, Samsung LN-37A550, Sharp (which you didn't mention, and which I own) LC-37D64U, and LG last. But at a viewing distance of 10-15 feet, you should really be looking at a 40-42" screen, where there are some excellent 120Hz sets. Note that my typical viewing distance is 7-8 feet away.

Thanks for the reply, Judah. Since posting my?, I wound up getting a Vizio 32" that Amazon had last week on a Lightning Deal. Couldn't pass it up - 1080p, 120 hz, all the connections I needed, 200x200 VESA mount size & at a great price.
