Your New OLED TV has Shipped

If there is such a commandment, I’m going to hell.
That thing is a champ!
It is a little wierd watching a TV that large with no real bezel/border.
I agree. And because my old tv was a big DLP that had an entertainment center surrounding it, the new tv looks quite a bit smaller, even though the picture is only 3 inches smaller. Also, not sure if it's the tv, the upscaling on the player or a combination of both, but standard blurays look great. I know we don't have the same tv, but would guess experiences would be similar.
Standard BDs look so good that I have decided NOT to do a wholesale replacement of my BDs with 4k disca. When I went from DVD to BD I rebought quite a few titles.
If something really special that I already have catches my attention and I can gt a decent price then I may replace a few.
To pull one of my classic "I told you so" screeds on you now, I told you so (not directed at MZPro specifically, but at all of you who tried to tell me there was no point in 4K TV unless you had a 4K source, which I tried repeatedly to debunk over and over and over with science and theory).
Of course, in this case the OLED has a contrast capability which is beyond any previous TV screen tech. That contributes to the 3D like effect mentioned above. But also, and this is real, the scaling processor can use the extra pixels to create smoother transitions between soft lines and sharper transitions for hard lines. That is a very real thing. The scaling processor can also extrapolate extra color information and take advantage of the UHD color space of the new screen. Between all of the anti-aliasing processing, color extrapolation, line modeling, and so on, the result is regular BluRay discs, and even DVDs and old SD broadcast quality video looking as good as it can possibly look. Of course, an old show like MASH can only have so much done to it before it looks over-processed, but it will look as good as it possibly can on this new 4K OLED, which is all you can ask for.

As I was watching the Force Awakens yesterday, I was thinking the same thing, really no sense in upgrading the movies when the standard blurays still look great with the new tech. I will say that the player probably does deserve some of the credit for the great looking picture. The upscaler has to be pretty good in the Sony, as my Dish picture still looks good and better than the old tv, but I wouldn't say it has increased in quality at the same level of the blurays, if that makes sense. Either way, I'm still very happy with the upgrades I have done, and have fun with your new tv.
I don't disagree with that, and wouldn't expect the Dish picture to look as good as a bluray. But I also think that the player upscaling the blurays is adding to the overall picture quality from the UHD bluray player.

As you know I'll be buying a new set soon. I just did a search on oled tv's and it seems there went many 75" options out there and what do exist are way out of my price range. Looks like it's led for me.
Me too. I’m jealous of people that have the feeedom to manage their seating distances to keep screen sizes reasonable.

I'm about 9' from the screen, maybe 10. I think 65 would be fine but I'm looking to get close to that projector feel.
If it weren't for the special deal from LG over Black Friday I would not have been able to afford.
