Awesome, what a guy! Reply here or PM me buddy. Either one is cool!
Alright, here's my thoughts on
LG OLED (E6) vs Samsung KS8000. As I mentioned yesterday, I own both at the moment, and will return one of them.
First, both TVs have their pros and cons, so it's essentially a matter of finding out which drawbacks you can live with. I use my TV mainly for gaming (PS4 Pro) and watching movies (Blu-ray and streaming).
I'll start with the OLED. This is my second E6 - the picture quality is obviously great and the perfect black level is the main reason for that, but my first E6 had very noticeable vignetting and vertical bands. That led me to return it and get a replacement. The E6 I have now has good uniformity, but this one doesn't show true black with gamma at 2.2. I believe this is because of the factory calibration, and that a professional calibrator can sort that out by reducing the luminance in the lower IREs when calibrating. Motion could also be better on the OLEDs.
Since gaming takes up much of my time when I'm using the TV, I'd like to have a great picture for gaming as well. And unfortunately, this is my main gripe with this TV; LG has for some reason decided to lock the colour gamut in SDR Game Mode to Wide, which oversaturates colours. On top of that, there's no option to adjust the white balance in SDR Game Mode. This was one of the reasons which made me buy a KS8000, as you can calibrate the Game Mode. It's simply mind-boggling that this isn't possible on the LG OLEDs.
So, I went out and got the
KS8000 yesterday to compare it to the E6. In Norway, more often than not, you have a 30 days return window.
The KS8000 is brighter and the Game Mode is super responsive, and the option to calibrate and get an accurate picture in Game Mode is appreciated. I was a bit concerned with blur and ghosting, but it was fine. No judder either, as far as I could see.
The contrast was good, but not great. Contrast-wise, the OLED offers a better and more punchy picture, thanks to the perfect blacks, and the KS8000 couldn't keep up with the OLED at this point. I might have gotten a bad panel, but the KS8000 also exhibited very noticeable backlight bleed and blooming, even when using low backlight (30-40%), and that is the biggest turn-off for me so far. Rtings reported very little backlight bleed on their set - I can safely say that the backlight bleed on mine is intolerable, especially after owning the E6 since December.
I will therefore return the KS8000 and keep the LG E6. The plan is to keep the set for two or three years, and get a Sony or Panasonic OLED, when the OLEDs hopefully are brighter and no longer have near-black issues.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
