Appreciate that there is plenty of great advice in these forums, and have certainly done my best to pick through a lot of it (Especially Dodge’s guides). So hopefully have managed to narrow things down. I would still appreciate some help or opinions on the below though, if possibly:
Usage: Netflix, Prime, iPlayer, IPTV, Virgin
Gaming: Xbox Series X
Type: Movies, Sport (Football/F1), Gaming, Boxsets (classic/new)
Looking for 65inch minimum. HDMI 2.1 to take advantage of Next Gen gaming.
LG BX 65: £1599 (+£140 insurance)
LG CX 65: £1799 (+£140 insurance)
Samsung q90t/q95t: £1299 / £1399
I currently have an LG OLED B6 55inch (2017). I very much like the picture quality aspects and contrast of OLED, however within less that 2 years it has suffered screen burn (playing games like FIFA and Rocket League has not helped), and has only got worse since. It’s was enough for me to vow never to go OLED again, however reading some bits on here has made me wonder again.
The issue would be, that although I probably wouldn’t imagine I would use it as hard as I have done in the past with static images, I can’t guarantee that, and wouldnt be able to rule it out given my past viewing habits and content I consume. That said, I have no idea how well these newer OLED panels might do with combatting screen burn, or indeed if they might be even worse these days (due to greater HDR being used etc).
It’s hard to get away from the fact though that the OLEDs are consistently recommended (for at least the next gen gaming) over the LCDs, as well as the point that there may even be insurance options available for screen burn (only major drawback, except possibly brightness?).
So after all this, my questions would be:
1). If you had to score (out of 100) the panels below, how would you compare based on my usage (irrelevant of price)?
2). Do we think the CX is worth £200 more than the BX after the recent price drop on the CX?
3) Do we think that the JL screen burn insurance with D&G is likely to hold up against screen burn (regardless if you don’t want to change content every hour or so, or run hundreds of manual anti-screen burn programs every session?
4) Has anyone ever claimed on the JL insurance for screen burn as yet and able to share their experienc?
5) If OLED becomes a no go, has anyone had experience of going from OLED to Samsung q90t and able to share if they are happy with their decision or not?
6) Would we say these TVs are in their peak low point price as yet, or have a few more drops to go? By much if at all?
If you have experience of any of these or all, it would be great to hear from you and help me make a decision that’s been killing me for a while!
Thanks in advance,
