Is LG B7 considerably better than the B6? Gigantti (a nordic electronics retailer) currently has the 55 inch B6 for 1899 euros and will apparently start selling the B7 soon for 1999 euros.
Usually I'd order the B7 right away, but the B6 has been on sale for most of the summer (going for 1500 euros) and I expect it'll be going on sale again soon which is when I'd get it. Would paying 500 euros more for the B7 be dumb? I could afford it, but I'm not exactly swimming in cash.
Welllllll...depends.
I sold my E6 and got this year's B7/C7 for significantly more than 500 USD/Euro because 34 ms of input lag on the E6 was too much for me. I use my tv with a gaming pc, and the mouse never felt good, and vsync on had far too much lag to be comfortably playable. 34 ms vs 21 ms is a no brainer. I'm incredibly glad I swapped, even if it was a significant cost.
B6 vs B7 is a different story. I've never used a B6, but apparently they reduced the input lag via an update. So, you have to ask yourself: how sensitive are you to input lag, what sort of games will you be playing, and with what console/pc? Because - and others please correct me if I'm wrong - but reduced input lag is basically all you'd be paying extra for. Rtings, in their reviews, basically suggest still getting a B6 because the image is virtually identical between the two sets.
Oh, and this year's B7 does 120 hz, which is something I wanted as well. I don't always use it, since it limits the image to 1080p, but sometimes for shooters is nice having an incredibly smooth experience. But this is something you'd only benefit from if you're using a PC.
Either way, hold onto your butt. OLEDs are amazing.
