LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

[WTF]

Yeah, it was different in store Frank. My BB wasn't supposed to have the 55". I was looking at the 50, and the guy told me they had a 55 shipped by mistake in the back. I impulse bought it. If this TV holds up, it's an absolute gem.

I won't buy a Vizio when this is cheaper and better picture and sound. Just watched Marcos with HDR. Looks great. I'm getting ready to bring my X1s in here to try out some games. Maybe Forza.

I honestly might pick this one up now.

I actually thought our bedroom tv was 49" but it was 42, just like you said. The 55" is a huge improvement.

I'd actually highly recommend this set. I'm extremely impressed. Blacks look excellent, as do whites. This is straight out of the box.

Thanks Will, let me know how the One looks on it, like I said I have heard nothing but great things about this set. Also when you hook up the one if your HDR doesn't show, hit me up and I can point you to how to get it on. I know so much about this TV and I don't even own it, LOL, WELL YET.

It's only day 1 for me right now, but if initial impressions are correct, this won't be the last hisense I'll buy. I'm truly blown away by this set right now. Apps are speedy, remote is good, connectivity is great.

I can't say enough about the sound. It's really a great sounding set. The picture is phenomenal. I wish there were a 2016 65" set. They have a curved, but I'm not going curved.

Will do man. I Appreciate it. I found the settings for the hdr when I was researching too. I can easily say that this is my best value purchase ever, haha.

Welp, time to look into selling my old tv, because this set (ks8500) is absolutely amazing! Really happy with the purchase. Can't wait to try the ps4 pro on this bad boy next week!

[WTF]

Is the KS8000 the same set as the ks8500, other than the curve? I may go for it over the similar LG suhd.

Basically. Since they are now the same price I figured I would try out the curve. I definitely wouldn't want to pay extra just for the curve haha. Glare from my windows was an issue for me with my old set and I was hoping the curve may help with that. Luckily it actually does! They are all JUST angled out from all my main viewing spots. Happy coincidence I guess...
