I’ve been looking for a good deal on an LG OLED 55 but am now considering a 65… I can’t believe the price jump! It’s nearly $2000aud! America the jump between the two is $1500aud and here it is $2000aud.
America
55” - $1600USD ($2110AUD)
65” - $2700USD ($3560AUD)
Australia
55” - $2495AUD ($1890USD)
65” - $4490AUD ($3390USD)
Difference in cost between 55” & 65”
$1,450AUD ($1100USD) In the States
$1995AUD ($1510USD) In Aus
Anyway it is what it is… what I’m basically saying is I can’t afford the 65” as it is $1995AUD more expensive than the 55” which seems bland. I’m sitting about 9 feet away from my TV (don’t even own one yet), is it worth getting an LG C7 55”, ive heard this is too far to sit for that size to really benefit or can someone recommend another future proof 65” TV that is below the $2500 mark. Also I don’t want a Hisense…
The thing about OLED isn't as much the panel but more so what's going on in the innards. You could choose a larger TV, however other aspects of the PQ aren't going to be as good as the OLED panel, I.E; viewing angles, response times, black levels, contrast etc. It depends on how much you care about those things as to whether size or overall PQ would be the determining factor, but IMO if you put the OLED 55 against a 65 LCD, I'd suggest you'd be inclined to choose the OLED.
I'd suggest a X9300E, as IMO, it's the only LCD that competes with OLED ATM but it's limited in terms of viewing angles, which is something that is echoed in all the reviews I've read.
With the prices that OLED TV's are slowly dropping to, I'm waiting until they start to become more affordable and bite the bullet, because the jump in PQ between OLED and LCD is fairly big, but as you say it's just the cost that presents the major setback ATM.
I hope that helps, I know it's a bit rambling. I think a lot of people are in the same position, I guess it's just a question of finding something that you like the look of. Checking out reviews is also a good idea to get your head around what's decent and what's not.
