KS8000 line starts with 49" [which would be a good choice], and the only option smaller than that is 43X800D or it's 49" variant.
Thanks! I didn't realize there were that few options.

Wait. It was $1400 for an OLED55C6P from an authorized seller on eBay recently.So the LG B6P is $2,297.00 at Amazon. Should I wait for a cheaper deal? Looks like some people got this set crazy cheap if I'm not mistaken.

I just paid that for the 65".
Where did you get that price? eBay deal?
Yeah, eBay daily deal from ielectrica. Took less than a week to get here.
Is there anything against running a single optical cable from my B6 to my receiver rather than running one from the PS4 Pro to the receiver, one from the DVR to the receiver, etc.?
Optical in the frequency it is used in most devices can only do up to 2ch lpcm 96khz 24 bit or bitstream 6ch DD or DTS. Lossless isn't supported in that mode.Is there anything against running a single optical cable from my B6 to my receiver rather than running one from the PS4 Pro to the receiver, one from the DVR to the receiver, etc.?
Definetely not for gaming.

Make sure to get Premium Certified cables. Don't assume because they say 18Gbps and they are expensive that they will work. Cheap Monoprice are fine.
I watch a lot of the AV forums and cable problems are real with UHD content, and people never want to admit it. They blame the source, the AVR, etc.

I see. Thanks. Would something like these AudioQuest Pearl cables be sufficient for 4K/60 gaming and movie watching then? They are not too overly expensive and it seems like people are saying these actually improve picture quality which I am having a hard time believing.

Amazon Basics are cheaper.
You may have had success with them, but I do not believe they are certified either.
http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/premiumcable/faq.aspx
That may be but mine work too. There's two of us which is as good as a fact as GAF gets worked up about normally!
My second reason is that Amazon don't usually fuss about returns on their own, low value, products so return them easily if they don't work for you.

Not quite. Certification guarantees the cable works at 18Gbps and can handle the increased bandwidth of 4K@60 video streams. I personally have found more consistent performance via a monoprice certified cable than a normal cheap cable from amazon or monoprice.Certification isn't essential. You are paying a premium for no reason.
Certification isn't essential. You are paying a premium for no reason. If Amazon's cables fail, they have a year warranty anyway. As I say, absolutely zero problems here, and that's pushing 3840x2160p at full 4:4:4 on my PC. HDR and Dolby Vision material are also fine.
As to pricing. I *think* Monoprice stuff is cheaper over there in the US but Amazon's HDMI cables worked out cheaper last time I checked here. Either way, there is no point paying extra for certified cables, when the non-certified cables come with a warranty anyway.

Certified cables are $3.60. How much cheaper do you need to go?

Somebody is selling multiple refurbished 65" B6s via Amazon for $615 + $42 shipping. Seems way too good to be true, even for a refurb. But I'm considering taking a chance simply because Amazon will allow me to return it. Is this crazy talk?
They only have 2 reviews, but 100% positive feedback. I want to believe this is somehow real, but seems way too ridiculous.
There's a < 0% chance this is legit.
Haha yeah, I figured that much. Was thinking maybe Amazon would honor the deal since it's through their site, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Best Buy has the LG OLED C7 up on their site, shipping March 9th for those interested.
55 inch - $3500: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-55-c...-dynamic-range-silver/5763400.p?skuId=5763400
65 inch - $5000: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-65-c...-dynamic-range-silver/5763359.p?skuId=5763359
Amazon also has the C7 listed (currently unavailable), but at $2500 for the 55 inch: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZF7WCT/?tag=neogaf0e-20
The LG OLED E7 are now listed on Best Buy's site. Whereas the C7 had delivery listed "as soon as 3/9/17" (March 3), no delivery date is given for the E7 series.
55 inch - $4500: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-55-c...-dynamic-range-silver/5777500.p?skuId=5777500
65 inch - $6000: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-65-c...-dynamic-range-silver/5772800.p?skuId=5772800
It doesn't look like Amazon has their listing up yet.
In comparison, currently the E6 series goes for: $2700 (55) and $4000 (65) on BestBuy.com, and I'm sure it's been cheaper than that in recent weeks.
For reference, the C7 series was posted on BestBuy.com last week. Amazon has since updated their 55 C7 post, removing the price (which was listed as $2500):
edit: Looks like beard beat me to the prices. Still waiting on B7 series it seems.
Interesting. Do we know what the major differences are between B7 and C7, other than design? I guess we're expecting the B7 to also fall into the $3500 range? I thought I read previously that speculation had it at $2500 but .. meh.
$3500 is a tad steep if the main difference between the B6 and B7 is only 25% brighter peak brightness for the 10%/25% windows, and support for HLG/Technicolor, both of which don't have much (any?) adoption yet. And probably a slightly faster SoC.

posted in that $250 tv thread but I'll post here too
so I've got a question if anyone has any advice
I checked on craiglist and saw someone selling a 58" Samsung plasma tv for $400. I think it's the PN58B550 model. does anyone know anything about these and if this would be a good tv to pick up? I researched a bit online and it seems like these models can be hit or miss and that the buzzing can vary. also how viable is a plasma tv if the room it'll be in will get some natural light during the morning and afternoon? all the shades and everything will be closed but the light does get through.
thanks
I can't comment on the quality of the TV, but just wanted to check if you realize that this is an almost 7 year old set? At least if it's the same Samsung B series as here in Europe.

I am aware of that, I don't think anyone makes plasma tvs these days
