So my LG OLED GX bit the dust today. God knows why.. one dead pixel then dead.
anyway, not big deal. Just get a new TV in from JL tommorow. But in the meantime I wanted to watch this anime from the 90s. I'd watched a few episodes on my OLED and it looked awful as you'd expect it to.
Played it on my HW40ES (sony projector) and all I can say is some flaws of an OLED are very obvious..
1. DSE/graininess/texture on the low saturated colours and poor content; I see this and it moves with the screen. Whether LG or Sony or Panasonic.. it seems to be a panel/technology issue. Things on animated content especially just don't look CLEAN in movement
2. Motion - put simply, the motion on OLEDs due to the instantenous pixel response time does not hold a candle to this £500 old projector, similar to probably how it doesn't to a plasma TV also.
I do wonder how if ever we will bridge this gap with OLED technology. Motion interpolation can only do so much. I have no motion interpolation on this PJ activated.. just natgive 24fps playback and its smooth.
Now OLEDs have a place in the tech world IMO.. and a place which make it hard to be usurped and its in:
1. HDR & Dolby vision due to pixel level control of colour and specular highlight detail retrieval
2. Gaming - the instant pixel response time which causes issues with 24hz content and white panning shots is the saving grace which makes video games so god damn amazing on an OLED panel
For home cinema though... I'm honestly now just not sure which is the right way to go. I think moving forwards for those that can afford it both money wise and space wise, surely something like a JVC NX5/7/9 is the pinnacle of home theatre (due to the high contrast panel) whilst a device like an Epson 9400 probably trades blows for film & TV dependant on what size of a screen you can create with it versus the OLED.
Any thoughts or similar experiences?
