Can any owners please comment on the sound quality on this set, which claimed to be the best of any TVs. The reason is that I would like to get rid of my budget Soundbar, which has a subwoofer and looks messy on the TV bench. I like to have a clean and uncluttered look on the TV bench, which I'll get a new white TV unit to have a contrast with the black TV.
I like to upgrade from my last gen 50 inch Pana Plasma to a high end 65 inch OLED.
My shortlist is:
A90J
JZ1500
G1
A90J - I'm leaning for the Sony but subject to satisfactory more reviews and then a price drop during the summer. As it is it's too bloody expensive around £3.5K. I'm expecting to be £3K around summer then I'll bite. Have to see Vincent's review for its near black performance against Pana JZ1500, if it's the same then, bring it on!
Why I'm leaning - It has the premium sound, the extra brightness and ace Sony upscaling/picture and all the TV apps with Google TV. Reverting back to my old Sony Trinitron ownership.
JZ1500 - Though I've been a Pana Plasma owner for my last 3 TVs,
I fear the current model will give me some heartache over it's OS and lack of popular built in apps. I've got a HD Firestick for my GT60 and don't want to plug in another Firestick 4K for a high end 2021 TV, to access popular streaming services also sharing smartphone video clips on the TV might be cumbersome. Though it'll have an excellent picture, comparable to A90J. Sound won't be as good as the A90J.
G1 - Never had a Korean branded TVs before. LG have refined their OLEDs with G1 being their best offering. Excellent OS system and brighter than previous years and above wall; best for wall mounting with their slim build, never mounted a TV on the wall before and this one would look ace! Why is not on top of my list: sound not as good as A90J, picture quality won't be good as the Sony/Pana and perceived quality control over Japanese sets.
I could get a high end Soundbar but I live in a terraced house and of course, you can't put the volume to a even a mid level in the evening, as I don't want to upset my neighbor, who normally don't complain about my TV noise, it's because I don't watch it loud on my current budget soundbar.
