The picture quality is fine. I'm not aching for that OLED TV that cost twice as much for the same size. And for the time being the smart TV features are just fine. If they suddenly become inadequate or they aren't maintained, then it's easy enough to get and connect a separate streaming device. But for now it's one fewer remote and/or one fewer power plug or cable to deal with. Right now I'm already maxed out on the inputs. If there were some way to connect a streaming device via ethernet or Wi-Fi as a source input that might work in the future.
Im confused in your reply to me, no where did I mention OLED.
Since I am posting this, I think a lot of the public, because of marketing by these companies and then review sites repeating the marketing of the TV makers, mostly by Samsung Marketing, now has started to spread, so far Sony has not bought into this game.
There are only two panel displays (tv types)
LED and OLED
Thats it. Forget marketing like Quantium LED, Super Twist LED ya da ya da. The basic technology is the same, with a spin of words they are ALL displays by PLAIN LED technology..actaully the type of back lighting is FAR more important, whole other subject.
Kind of like motor oils in the same API rating. The LEDs are all of the same technology. Except ...
Except for LG's OLED, for Organic LED. This is the one and only different type of LED technology (lack of better words)
OLED the picture quality standard that ALL other LEDs strive for. ALL the others use the same LED technology and try to improve in it to get close to LGs OLED (organic LED)
What Samsung had done was create confusion in order to make their products look like the same as LGs technology by adding a letter in front of the "LED" others now have followed suit with things like QLED ... except for LG products all LEDs are the same technology in general.
With that said, OLED or Organic LED I personally pass on. Not quite as stable over the long term which maybe meaningless and the new higher end plain LEDs come close from the major manufacturers.
Just keep in mind, if you have a TV other then an LG OLED your TV is simply the same old LED technology used forever now and has been perfected as much as possible.
What makes TVs more expensive other then high quality components is the display quality but most important is the actual backlighting of the display, all the fancy sounding LED marketing words dont change the fact that it is old plain LED panel but the major difference with higher end sets, yes, a better display screen but also the back lighting which is MAJOR for contrast and black levels.
Still on my first coffee, its early *L* this is my basic understanding in words.
There are two types of LED TVs LG OLED and all the other TVs that use plain old LEDs with dressed up words to make them sound like LGs OLED.
Keep in mind in reference to LG, the sets I am talking about are their high end, high priced OLED TVs. Not the run of the mill regular ones mentioned in this thread.
Im thrilled with my Sony 900 series and they now have a loyal customer after many, many years ago (decades actually) being turned off by their quality. I am glad to see I they got back on their game.
