Hey,
I've been looking at tv's for a while. I had no issue watching 4k on my 40inch samsung LED tv.
But i recently bought a LG C8 tv, brand new, last week.
I've been doing some extensive research on OLED tv's. And because of that i got fimilar with 'vertical banding'. So the first thing i did when i got my tv, was doing a gray scale test.
I noticed some vertical banding. No dead pixels. (first 10% gray scale)
Watch some movies like Gatsby/King Arthur and was amazed by the colour/contrast of the screen. Did not notice any vertical banding while watching.
HOWEVER, i did knew about my tv having vertical banding.
So than i just fired up netflix and went to see marco polo, episode 2 at the 14:10 mark.
And yes, you can see it. If you pay attention. And you sit very very close to your screen.
I did not even noticed it when playing RDR2 on PS4 pro, 2 meters away from my screen.
Plz watch the photo's. (iso 2000)
I own it now for 9 days. I paid €1100 for it. I have 30day limit on returning the tv and asking for a replacement. But their is no real garantuee i will have a 'better oled panel'. It could be even worse. Can it even get worser?
(FYI, i wish i never looked up 'vertical banding' in the first place o-o)
