LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

Maybe most do but if you look at this TV all it has is HDMI inputs and old systems don't use HDMI. So if I got this TV I would need some kind of add on for the TV that has like composite, component inputs etc.

I was talking about audio receivers, not the tv. My Onkyo receiver has all the old inputs so you can hook the old systems to that, then then the receiver connects to the tv with HDMI.

Could always just get a old CRT on the cheap or run an emulator on laptop connected to the tv. Like already mentioned some AVRs still have analog to digital converters.

Either way it going to look pixelated. I ran Mario 64 on my 40 inch LED and it didn't look good.

I have heard people say that old systems games don't look good on even normal HDTV but I have never had that problem and I don't think that is true. I have a 720p HDTV from 2007 and old games look just fine and don't look pixelated at all.

The bigger question is are you really going to hold back on a great tv because of old outdated consoles?

Yea I hear you. Once you go a certain size it's hard to go back down. I don't think 5 inches would be too noticeable though. I myself will also get an OLED, but when the prices come down a bit.

I am also waiting for an OLED when the prices drop. The 4K HDTVs look great but the OLEDs blow away everything I've seen and it's not even close.

Not being able to play old systems and games is a big issue to me. I still play my gamecube, wii, SNES some times and I don't trade games or systems in like some people do. Also I am still trying to move out on my own so that is also kind of a issue. With that said I think I may have found something to fix not being able to play old systems with a tv that only has HDMI inputs.

Or you keep a smaller tv somewhere else to play old system games?

I don't know about not even close. You gotta see some of these new 4K HDR tvs. They look really good. The OLED have better blacks, but don't get as bright which is very important for HDR content. Some of them are very good and produce great picture quality. It's noticeable, but I wouldn't say night and day.

In the end though, an LED is still an LED, and every issue that comes with them will always remain. I hate LED technology as a movie buff.

I just wish plasma could have stayed around in the UHD era.

That would be annoying though. Those 2 things I was talking about on amazon a few days back I ended up getting just in case I get that 4k TV I was talking about that only has a HDMI input. Those 2 things I tried on my current old HDTV and they work. So that takes care of that. With those 2 devices off amazon I can play gamecube, SNES and wii with HDMI and that is what I needed.

Both technologies have their pros and cons. I gamed on a Panasonic plasma for years and loved it. I now have an LED and I'll tell you that the tech has gotten a lot better. Plasmas will never look as sharp as and LED. And I used to think only plasmas had inky blacks but some of these new tvs have darker blacks than plasmas did especially if you get a VA panel. Plasmas have better viewing angles, but also consume 3-4 times the amount of electricity compared to LED. I've been highly impressed with my tv especially after having some good calibration settings. When OLED comes down in price to something reasonable and other brands besides LG start making them then I'll make the jump.

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

You're leaving out the big one for me: motion. Screen uniformity et. al are also included.

LED definitely has improved on their blacks, but I cannot deal with the kind of motion that LED has. I mean I literally cannot. There's something about it that I despise.

Apparently OLED has its own motion issues as well though. That's why I'm sticking with plasma for quite a while.
