No USA prices finally its in black n white.
When you say it has "better colours" than LCD, can I ask what you mean? Genuine question as a purchase is imminent and while I'm staying towards the Philips 9600 all being well I could be persuaded to go oled. If I remember correctly the LCD's get much closer to DCI than the oleds do and are better suited for HDR due to their much higher peak brightness levels.
What I'd like to know is if we can expect the new flat one's around that time as well or if we'll have to wait until next year's IFA again.After that the new line-up will be announced at CES in January, before probably going on sale around March or April time. After that there will be the European Championships, closely followed by the Olympics before the whole cycle starts again.
That's good. Too bad that there's no way to confirm on the showfloors of CES whether that'll hold true or not.The manufacturer also acknowledged that they were aware of the vignetting and are looking at ways of eliminating it on future generations of OLED panels.
Not sure I can be to be honest! The thing is I wouldn't be waiting until next spring more like next winter as my budget is £3500 so unless they reduce their release prices I'll only be looking at this year's models.if you can be patient next springs Oled releases will have 99% dci and same brightness levels (800 nits ) as Lcd.
800 nits and 98% is any enormous improvement though. Where did you hear that?[/QUOTE said:2 different articles that have being linked on here...heres 1 Lg 2016 oled tvs improvments...
presume at £3500 your looking at 65 " ? for 55" your well covered at that money .
Actually someone else at the event asked about 3D and they said it will be supported on their 2016 sets but they wouldn't go into any specifics about their plans for next year. I guess we'll find out in two months at CES.Did you ask them about 3D on the 2016 sets?

What I mean is that in darker scenes in particular an OLED TV can deliver more accurate colours because it's a self-emitting technology whereas LCDs work by passing light through the panel, so you can get light spill from the backlight affecting the purity of the colours in certain circumstances. If you're thinking of going for the 9600 you might have to wait, I've heard it could be delayed until January.When you say it has "better colours" than LCD, can I ask what you mean?

Thanks, that puts my mind at ease. Wouldn't make any sense for them to drop 3D this early, so I very much doubted the earlier rumors.Actually someone else at the event asked about 3D and they said it will be supported on their 2016 sets but they wouldn't go into any specifics about their plans for next year.

That's a relief, Steve, thanks!Actually someone else at the event asked about 3D and they said it will be supported on their 2016 sets but they wouldn't go into any specifics about their plans for next year. I guess we'll find out in two months at CES.
I've read another report from the same briefing, and suspect the 3.9mm sets referenced are those magnetic ones which attach to walls. It's hard to imagine them being ready to be anything more than very highly priced concept releases next year.Great article Steve.
The rec2020 bit exactly explains why metamerism isn't the problem it could be, you just have to use a mix of frequencies.
Good news for EG960 owners on the HDMI too.
3.9mm, mmmmm, nice
But then you might be tempted to hold off until 2017 for what Samdung and possibly Sony announce at CES 2016.That's a relief, Steve, thanks!
Even if it was only supported in a limited capacity, then I would imagine that would have to be on their top-end models.
Given that's where I'm aiming, then I'm more assured about holding off on a purchase until next year, and the advantages those sets will bring.
It's looking good.

It's not just about technological advancements but also a combination of the price dropping to a point where I judge it the right time to buy. I was never likely to buy the 9500, but LG were undoubtedly running late with that product's arrival and pricing.But then you might be tempted to hold off until 2017 for what Samdung and possibly Sony announce at CES 2016.
I already have occasional wobbles that the 65" I've set my mind on might be too big, let alone going for a 77 incher.I've just seen Sony's 75 Inch 4k LCDs are going for £3300-5400 at the moment. It would be great if the 77 Inch OLED makes it to those levels next year wouldn't it.
