CECAA850 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 OLED looks to be really cool but 2 things will have to happen before I get one. First, my KURO will have to go belly up and secondly, prices will have to really drop (although, the KURO wasn't cheap). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodrewken Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 OlED looks like its gonna be the next hot ticket, but I was reading that longevity isnt' there yet. Something about the blue led in the RGB not lasting more than 7000 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmassey Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 They are slated to be about 7000-9000$. That means best case scenario, it's going to cost a dollar an hour to watch. Ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely not going to be an early adopter of that technology then. My ol' KURO will just have to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodrewken Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Got home from work, my wall mount from monoprice arrived, and I just got a call from the BB driver, he's gonna be here around 2-4 tomorrow afternoon. I am soooo ready to go, can't wait for tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdave Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 There is nothing "ol" about that Kuro! That's an awesome display! [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERDAN Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I actually have had quite a few auditions with OLED, one being a samsung prototype and all the others with mobile phones, i think from experience that the brightness on most mobiles were a problem, not sure why but i believe its a limiting factor for the early stages of the technology. Another is the aging issue which they are still having problems resolving atm but i think they have managed to find a way to prolong it but still there are issues where each color ages differently than others which causes accuracy problems. Wont probably buy the first series but definitely down the road when its perfected i will, it will super seed all current technology's performance wise.

Shodrewken Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 I men't to get some pictures up today, but I didn't get around to it, however I can say without a doubt this is the nicest tv I have ever owned! The colors, the sharpness, the black levels, the SIZE, all of it is awesome. I used the Spears and Munsil blu-ray disk to help with calibration and the picture is fantastic. My buddy helped me wall mount it the day I got it and I have to say, having it wall mounted looks a lot better than having it rest on top of my center channel, like I had with my old tv. No noticeable buzzing, and not a hint of IR. Even the wife said it looked waaaaay better than our old tv. I'll get some pictures up tomorrow.

Shodrewken Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 Sorry this took so long, and sorry for the poor pic quality. I'm gonna have to take some lessons from Youthman on how to take proper pics of my gear [H] Anyway, here it is....

wuzzzer Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Congrats - looks great! Also, I think I've seen that picture by the right RF-7 before. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasDom Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Also Tasdom, anything I can do to help a brotha move along with his HT endeavors LOL...I just ordered some black trim for my amp.....Thanks for the reminder! Looks nice bro. Did you rearrange? I remember it differently and maybe setup on the longwall now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodrewken Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Ya we rearranged a few months ago and put everything on the long wall like you guessed. It's working out pretty well with this setup, it makes the room seem more open and flow better. Only real complaint is the lighting isn't that great, but it still works.

Shodrewken Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 So I just wanted to give an update on my Panasonic. I've had this TV for three months now and I cannot be more pleased with this unit. After getting the calibration from BB the picture just blows away anything else I've seen. Blu-rays are simply amazing, and HD content over the air looks really good too, however I've noticed that PQ varies from station to station. Standard definition PQ is pretty good as well, though I hate having the black bars on the side, so I try to watch HD as often as I can. I have gotten some IR every now and then but it always quickly goes away after watching a different channel without static images, and isn't noticeable unless its a completely white, or light colored screen. Still no buzzing to speak as well. The internet features are nifty but I never find myself using them on any regular basis. Though I'm not a big fan of 3D, I must say the 3D movies I've watched look really good, and is a cool feature to show off to friends who haven't seen it before. The sound isn't as bad as I thought it might be, but I have a sound system for that duty. So to conclude this little follow up I am very satisfied with my purchase. I know Panasonic's 60's series are coming out soon, so hopefully the 50 series will start going on sale for those looking to get a great tv for a little bit cheaper.
