Yeah, outside of the OLEDs LG TVs are mostly bad. Their "flagship" LED models are decent at best.
Yeah you'd have to really squint your eyes to reach "decent" lol.
This is maybe true for their LCD's but LG has been doing a great job with OLED. They've been listening to feedback and each year the lineup has been significantly improved. I'll be surprised if Sony gets everything right the first time.
Also Panasonic already released an OLED, the CZ950, and it certainly didn't blow away LG's offerings. It was worse in some respects, much higher input lag. ~74ms in Game mode...
It was certainly better though, but at a cost.
If by batter them out of the park you mean streeting at 2x or 3x the price of LG's.
They'll be more expensive, but I'd expect they will sell 1 or 2 high end models along side existing LCD offerings.
Poor LG, selling millions of OLED panels.
Agree with you though - OLED is a great tech crying out for a company with decent processing to apply to it.
I'm a big fan of Sony image processing and motionflow (increasing motion resolution without soap opera effect) so very curious what they come up with.
I wouldn't hold out too much hope for input lag though - this years Sony TVs are pretty bad in that department.
LG must be loving the fact that after decades of selling shit TV's to people that don't care about pic quality, they've finally been able to get the attention of the discerning customer whom actually cares.
Yeah Sony dropped the ball for gamers this year, but we will see, I really hope LG finally get some decent competition, I was nearly at the point of buying an OLED but I couldn't bring myself to buy an LG lol, but if it wasn't for the full array set that was about the same price I would have.
