Personally I wouldn't want to go back to LCD contrast levels, so OLED for me.
I can imagine a lot of non 4k broadcast channels will look quite poor on such a large screen, so that's worth bearing in mind. If your primary usage is movies/4k netflix etc then you'll probably not regret the 85.
Coming from a plasma, the brightness might blind you...
A recent review at AVSForum of an 85 inch Sony LED left me wondering.
If space wasn't an issue what would you go for, a 65 inch premium OLED or an 85inch midrange LED?
Seating distance can be what I want it to be in the range of 2-2,5 metresWhat is the seating distance?

For some time my thoughts were exactly as you describe but lately I've been wondering if the increased size will defeat any picture quality shortcomings.If it's movies and no gaming can't beat oled with the black bars and viewing angles.. previously had a pioneer krp in my den own a Panny oled now very much like plasmas with a cinematic picture but added 4khdr..

Large OLED is very expensive but an 85 inch LED is probably within my budget some time after release with a discount.
Depends what tv and what size you have currently... you may have the size with the larger screen but picture won't be as good if you watch tv etc...
I myself still own a Pioneer in our front room but the krp600 I had sold off wasn't as black as the smaller 50inch krp ... although it still trashed leds in a dark room... I regretted getting rid of the smaller screen as it had the better picture...
It's not just in the black bars but details too, shadows, clothes, skin and other textures.. makes the other colours pop...
The Panasonic oled was the 1st tv that really bettered my previous kuro..
I could have got a much bigger led for the money.. it would be brighter than the kuro, more detail, 4k etc but viewing angles not quite as good, blacks not as good and not as much cinematic picture.. that would be a side step to me rather than an upgrade.. and I would have been picking faults all day long...even oled isnt perfect but, in the way I watch in a dark room and for movies oled was for me..
I suppose the question is do you get the best picture you can in a decent size or get as big as you can just because you can and not be blown away by the picture..
Best way if you can is book an appointment with Richersounds or somewhere with a demo room and view the oled and a huge led.. your own eyes will be the best judge
All the best..
Yes you are right I should try to do that. Any thoughts on Samsung's QLED? Highly regarded by some.P.S. I took in some of my blurays which I watch alot ie. Halloween, Terminator so I could notice anything I wasn't use to seeing.. may be an idea for you to try that..??
If they are wanting to sell you a high end tv for alot of money they should accommodate you wanting to test the tv rather than watch demos on repeat... otherwise if it were me take your business elsewhere..
It all depends what you want to use your TV for
If you game, use your TV as a pc screen or watch programs with static screens then be very careful of OLED. If you use your TV for any of the above things then you run the district risk of having your TV broken by burn in.
UK courts have ruled that under OLED technology is inherently faulty. Every single case for damages due to screen burn that has been brought against companies who sell and make OLED TV has been won.
Buying OLED is a risk Your warranty specially exempts any claims for screen burn. Your only recourse are the courts
I seriously considered buying an OLED last year but when I read about the incipient risks of the technology and the fact I game for long stretches I simply couldn't take the risk.
Plenty of people on here will say that they've never had a problem. That's irrelevant
My dad is 83 and smoked 20 a day all his adult life and never had any tobacco related problems His dad lived until 97 and had the same lifestyle
Just because tobacco didn't kill them does that make it safe? Of course not
The same isttrue of OLED Just because people say they've never had a problem doesn't make the technology any safer
But OLED and you play Russian roulette with it every single time you watch it
Personally I don't want that risk. Or to take a break from gaming or working every two hours to refresh the TV. Even that won't protect you.
The Internet is full of OLED horror stories. People on here will have you believe they are exaggerated or made up
The UK courts don't agree.
Burn in/out most definitely is a bug bear of OLEDS my B6 which i had for 26 months .. no Banding no Tint , it had over 10'000 hours of use not a hint of a problem , then you put the tv on There it is SSN banner as bold as brass present on all content ... if that content includes Grey , Blue , Yellow, etc... so to cut long story short , sold it for for a steal .. and at present on replacement number 6 ... Sony AF9 2 ... LG C8 2..fz802.2 .. All have either V /Banding , Pink Tint , and 1 AF9 which had stuttering from the king of motion.. Wish i kept the B6 .It all depends what you want to use your TV for
