I'm waiting to get reviews on the Sony x800 and the LG UP970 before upgrading. I'm using the Xbox S but can't stand the fan noise and the lack of a remote instead of the controller.
MS sells a remote...

You're going to hear a lot of "OLED" in this thread.Can anyone recommend a 4k tv in the $2500-3000 range that would be a nice step up from my Samsung Ju60Un7100 in picture and hdr? 60-65 inches.
All the hdr spec stuff is over my head lol.

And that's the right answer.

Yeah, the QLED and OLED is just another factor that complicates things.

Still at Firmware 4.30.65 on my 65 "LG OLED B6. The Chinese website doesn't even have the model listed on their site under downloads.
Tech support said, We are sorry but we don't know when. Sigh

So oled is the best, but that sony tv is a regular led right? Is LG the only real maker using OLED? Their tv's seem to be highly rated on rtings.
Just got a email from Rtings. They purchased a A1E, review to be published "in the coming month."
LG makes most (if not all) the OLED panels, period. Sony's new OLED for example, has an LG panel. Clearly they have a vested interest in pushing the tech.

Gotcha.
So this tv is rtings best rated at 65"

Is it better than that previously mentioned Sony? That sony is their highest rated at 70" and is only 500 bucks more.

The Panasonic DMP-UB400 also provides a [Dynamic Range Adjustment] setting for viewers who wish to brighten HDR images for daytime viewing. Weve explained the reason why in a previous article, but 4K Blu-rays are generally unsuitable for consumption in the presence of significant ambient light due to how HDR10 code values are mastered in absolute luminance, yet theres little to no headroom for displays to elevate brightness since [Backlight] and [Contrast] are normally maxed out in HDR mode to meet the peak brightness demands of high dynamic range material.
Some viewers resort to either engaging [Dynamic Contrast] on their HDR TVs, or increasing the [Contrast] setting on the 4K Blu-ray player itself. While both methods can work effectively to bump up APL (Average Picture Level), they typically also clip specular highlight detail (which is a key benefit of HDR). Panasonics [Dynamic Range Adjustment] approach instead cleverly applies YUV-to-RGB conversion before gain adjustments, allowing for brightening of APL without clipping specular highlights (to a certain degree).
The four [HDR Settings] options are merely presets with [Dynamic Range Adjustment] fixed at specific values:
Standard = [Dynamic Range Adjustment] 0
Natural Environment = [Dynamic Range Adjustment] +4
Light Environment = [Dynamic Range Adjustment] +8
Bright Environment = [Dynamic Range Adjustment] +11
Although cranking [Dynamic Range Adjustment] up to maximum didnt blow out bright highlights in a grey ramp test pattern thats mastered to 1000 nits, in practice we did observe some clipping of coloured highlight detail in 4K Blu-ray films. As always, be judicious with the use of such a powerful control: we advise going with [HDR Settings] Natural Environment if youre watching HDR in a non-dark room, maybe Light Environment at a stretch.
Think of it as shedding your skin throughout your life. Eventually your skin doesn't maintain the same elasticity or colour as it did when you were younger.
It's the same thing with OLED conditioning.
Every time you do it you're removing another layer which over time will actually make the image darker and darker. This is why that warning exists for end users.
Sony OLED TVs however, will do a screen check every night or after power loss to check the integrity of the panel and do what they call "pixel washing". I don't know exactly what it's doing but I know it's a lot less intense than doing the screen conditioning.
Is image retention on the oleds a real issue or something that's not going to really bother most people?
I'm leaning towards the B6 if I can get it, as it seems to be the best all around tv at 65", from what I can see atleast.
Juicy, but when's all the low end shit coming?
As sexy as the display is, I'm not crazy about the easel-like kickstand. A little too avant-garde for my tastes.

Dumb question - but is there any digital delivery system that has quality on par with UHD Bluray?
The idea of a unified content delivery system like Steam that catered to high bit rate digital downloads of film would be the dream.

Sorry, I didn't ask them, just asked about the A1E since I'm planning on getting one. I assume you're talking about the 850/800E? Id imagine we'll see them soon as its just really those and Samsung's available. LGs leds are just now getting out there, haven't seen new vizios.
I recently did get an Xbox One S as a player, but it's actually quite "loud" during playback. Not as quiet as I'd like it to be, but maybe I need to test it more. I got it for under $200 new, so the value proposition definitely got me to buy it.
I'm looking at the players mentioned here, UB700, X800, UP970, etc. How important do you guys think DV support is? I'm a buyer of physical movies and do have a C6, so I feel like I would end up buying movies, but do you guys feel like your player supporting/not supporting DV is a deal breaker?
That was a thought I had come up, while thinking about whether to get a dedicated player that should be quieter than a game console.

I was surprised when playing bluray via ps4 on my KS8000 that the tv remote can control the ps4. How does this work? Super cool.

USA!Not sure what country you are in but the Samsung UBDK8500 can be had for about £220 here in the UK and I would take that every time over the Xbox S.
Edit - £189 delivered for a refurbished model on Amazon.
