55" OLED or 65" LED TV...

[gizlaroc]

I would buy a Sony at that price, Toshiba is not the one imho.

Even a Samsung KS7000 would be a better buy.

Argh, knew that would happen lol. At least I got the "free" soundbar I guess which I'd have bought anyway, or something equivalent although been impressed with the SH7 so far.

Picked up the B6 today to replace our 7yr old Panasonic plasma, but watching Better Call Saul, whilst stunning, i couldn't help but notice the motion judder in lots of the movements, I then spent the episode looking out for it. Is there a way to counter this, or is it a case of "They all do that sir" and either suck it up and try to ignore it, or take it back.

There is a way. I was reading about it just the other day. Think it was on HOT UK deals. Sorry to be so vague. But there's definitely something you can do to fix it. If I come across it again, I'll post it here.

Make sure it's updated, play with the settings a bit, turning off all post processing, then you can play around with TruMotion, most likely 'User' to find a level that smooths motion without making things look fake.

I didn't notice it in Better Call Saul though, I have mine set as off.

[Luke.]

ahhh. Trumotion, that's what you need to tweak.

[Steve Evil]

Turned off the post processing and TruMotion this morning and i cant see it happening anymore. Happy bunny once again

I think that stuff is per input so...

Yeah, will need to go through and make sure it's off for everything else, want to go through and set some of the settings to a recommended level, I'm sure there's some in this thread somewhere if I have a hunt, though I understand that due to the nature of an OLED screen, colour settings and the like will differ from set to set, so I'll just aim for a ballpark figure on those as I've read these are a little green-biased on the whole.

What I did was to put on Better Call Saul again and watch the scenes where I noticed the artifacts and disable all of the post-processing and TruMotion and I couldn't see them anymore.

I've just bought a B6V and the picture is pretty good, although not as good as the shop. Does anybody have a link to the best settings for normal TV viewing in a lit room? Cheers.

AV forums probably. Dedicated OLED section. Find your model thread.

[LocoBlade]

I applied the settings AVForums used on their test model which they detail in this setup video here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXwFi3E1K0g&t=...

Not as good as an actual calibration obviously but I'm finding the Expert Bright settings really good for normal TV viewing in daylight or with the living room light on, much better on low quality feeds (even SD) than the out-the-box settings and everything looks natural and not overly bright or too saturated. The only thing I did do is turn TruMotion back on to Clear as I noticed a bit of judder occasionally but that seems to have helped eradicate that.

And 'LSTV100A' for £100 off that, delivery only though.

Is the B6V still the TV to have with a maximum budget of £1,500ish? I think I probably need to move soon before stocks dry up.

I was also interested in the Sony 55xd93 but they have all gone. The replacement 55xe93 gets great reviews but is too expensive.

The panny 58 902b seems the other option

What would the pistonheads TV Gurus choice be with a budget of £1200 ?

Either a 1080p OLED or if you have to have 4k and HDR and £1200 is a max budget, the Sony 55XD9305.

The thing is, now the gap between an LCD and OLED is only £400 it does seem a shame not to pay a bit more, when it was £1000 gap fair enough, but £400? Surely that is worth it so you don't get that "ooh, what if.....?" feeling?

Buy the LG 55B6 OLED from Very.co.uk, pay of £1200 tomorrow and pay the over £400 over the next 12 months.

I bought a 55XD9305 and have been really pleased with it.

At the time the £550 difference in price to the LG 55B6 was significant enough to me and whilst the LG's blacks are incredible, the Sony is better in several areas in my opinion. Both are great TVs with their own strengths and weaknesses.

I've been playing Battlefield 1 on my shiny new Xbox One S this evening and it looks utterly brilliant!

I too opted for a 55XD93 over a 55B6 (price difference was £500 at the time) and I've not been disappointed. I prefer natural colours, which the XD93 delivers in spades! The B6 does better blacks, obviously, but the brightness of the B6 is not as good as the XD93, the motion handler on the B6 certainly isn't as good as the XD93, and the colour engine looks more artificial on the B6. IMO the XD93 is a better 'all round' panel than the B6, but stocks of it have dried up almost everywhere.

whatcha mean by motion engine?

By default (for some reason) the LG b6 has some stupid processing enabled that seems to cause halo's around moving things.

Its the first thing you should change imo, knock it to expert or game mode etc.

[legzr1]

This!

Unnatural colours on a B6 OLED?
Not unless it's broken or has settings applied by monkeys...

[RobDickinson]

Not sure if its the manufacturers or the stores, but TV's seem to come with 'Disney' colour enabled by default.

Guess realistic film like colours/contrast would look poor against the shouty HDR mega colours in store so sell less.
