            NotAFanboyy, 29 Aug 2017Their TV panels aren't great anymore, Sony X900E, ZD9, X940... moreSony buy panel from Samsung again for the newest models. So the better Sony models you mention have Samsung displays and not Japan display.

              Another gimmick. This reviews and tests and benchmarks are fake and differ from real life usage.

                Still, there will be no visible difference when you put it against G6.

Especially when talking Oled. Especially since we are mentioning companies with soon to come advanced more efficient Oled tech?
                            The same thing was said about QHD. Meanwhile the Note 4's super clear very bright Amoled QHD 5.7 display consumed overall less energy than even smaller, dimmer 5 inch and under and even 720p LCD's.

                                LCD more versatile? And Oled only looking good in some cases???? Especially in TV?
                                Actually that is terribly incorrect. In fact the larger the display gets the more apparent the advantages of the Oled tech become. So if they are superior and great on 6 inches just imagine how much that scale increases on 40-80 inch displays. Considerably.
                                Amoled can be just as color accurate or more saturated, better contrast, viewing angles, blacks, is bendable, faster response times, overall lower power consuming, yada yada.

                                And if you put it next to and LCD tv both around 50 inches you will see massive differences. How does any of this put at being worse for tvs or less versatile.
                                It is exactly what makes it more versatile and much better for tvs.

                                And LG actually has a major advantage for Oled tech. Clear or white pixel tech and patents. Something they kind of hold over Samsung as their only bing trump card over Samsung's Oled tech.

                                        Yeah It only took about 5 years and for devices with significantly higher brightness to top it.....But it's not relevant. Even though in some aspects it's camera is also still a top player.
