When I was picking my TV a couple of years ago, I settled on Samsung QLED, because I was worried for response times and burn-in. But since then, I got deeper into retrogaming on original hardware, and we also are watching less movies in general.
And the standard in the retrogaming community are OLED TVs. Everyone bangs about how blacks are deeper and all that.
I was quite happy with my LG 32GK850G. Good colors, good refresh rate, no issues over 7 years I owned it. But I decided it’s time to upgrade.
Since I wanted to experience OLED and had a good experience with LG, picking it again was a no-brainer. And once you know what you want (OLED, at least 32″, 240Hz refresh rate) there’s actually just a single model that fits the bill. And Amazon had a really good deal on it too.
Once I’ve had it for a couple of days, here are a few thoughts:
The blacks are amazing. In general, the contrast is incredible. It’s like getting a laser surgery all over again. 240fps – I don’t feel it. Maybe I could have felt 60fps -> 120fps. But I’ve yet to see any difference above that.
Also, there’s some kind of dynamic color correction going on. If you look at the same picture, the colors will shift for a few seconds, before stabilizing. I haven’t found yet what that stuff is.
