OLED TV's picture quality?

[LeadFarmer]

I quite fancy getting a 65" OLED TV for our living room, I like the idea of having 4K picture quality and will be keeping my eye on prices of current models as they fall in price early next year when 2022 TV's are released. I like the look of the Panasonic JZ2000 with Technics approved internal speaker.

But my main concern is how much better the picture quality will be compared to my current Panasonic 50VT30 plasma. We watch most of our TV via Sky Q, with some Netflix and Amazon Video, but always via our Sky Q box.

So realistically, how much 4K content is there to watch, other than UHD discs? Will I be enjoying great picture quality all the tine, or are there only certain channels to give me 4K?

I have the 55" jz2000, but no experience of it versus your 50VT30.
Picture quality is amazing as far as I'm concerned - what looks like true blacks and (at the highest dynamic settings) really burning bright colours/whites.

Content-wise, I've found the stuff on netflix's 4k subscription is pretty good, though not everything is in 4k. Some good 4k content on amazon prime too, and paid for stuff is good. UHD discs are great, too. Best thing I've seen so far in terms of image has been Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse funnily enough - the out-there visual design looks like it was meant for this sort of TV.

Thanks, that TV does sound impressive.
What is non 4K picture like, such as if you're watching BBC1 HD channel?
Unless I choose to watch a specific 4k channel, the majority of my TV viewing will be via Sky Q, would that still look good do you think?

Anyone suffered from screen burn on an OLED from things like Sky News banners etc?

Interesting about the QLED's. How do they differ from OLED's?

One concern I have of upgrading from my plasma to an OLED is motion blur. Anyone here confirm if they get it, or more interestingly if they don't get it?

None at all, but then I switch off ALL effects, including motion smoothing. no blurr or juddering.

Thanks for that, which LG do you have please?

The Panasonic VT30 was their top of the line telly for a while, a while ago. I have a 65" VT60. Plasmas fell out of favour due to their power consumption although a lot of work had been done on them to make them consume less power. I think you would need to buy something LED which is currently very good in its own right to replace a VT30, and be feeding it 4K (or it can upscale very well).

I picked up the 50VT30 and a 42GT60 from someone who was upgrading all his TV's, got them about 5yrs ago for £400 total and always been pleased with them. But I would now like to experience UHD picture quality.

To answer my own question when I started this thread, I have just bought a Panasonic 55JZ1500 OLED 4K TV and it is brilliant. It's now an outgoing model so reduced considerably from its launch price. Chose this against the 55JZ2000 with internal Technics speaker as it is £600 cheaper, and I can add my own soundbar.

No motion blur, and picture quality via Sky Q on both SD and HD content is very good indeed, and any 4K/UHD/HDR streaming content is amazing, and so are 4K discs played on my Panasonic DP-UB820 4K player.

The TV's internal speakers are good too, nothing wrong with them at all, but today I connected a Sonos Beam Gen 2 soundbar to the TV which does make a really nice difference.
