I'd love to have an OLED tv. I just need a good reason to get one. The tv I have now works just fine (unfortunately).
I, too, won’t replace something until it dies. Even if an upgrade is long overdue.
An "accidental" hammering can fix that real quick like.
Or just break out the old Wii Sports and "forget" the wrist strap.
Let me try to improve it. That thing will be broken in no time.
Mine flickers when room temp is above 75 and gets jacked at 78.
The G3 is looking extremely appealing in all dimensions except price.
Your OLED is sensitive to high temperatures?
It is an LCD. The temperature sensitivity is the main board starting to fail.
I bought this is 2015, so it is about time to get a new TV.
Same, I have a plasma and it works great, doesn't even know what HD ready means, but displays 1080i.
As long as HD is the max res the TV box gives, I don't see reason for an upgrade. (especially for a luxury item that is mostly background noice/movement)
My wife and I have one of each - a nice curved 55" Samsung something or other that does 4k, and a 42" Sharp Aquos LC-42D43U from like 2008 that's only 1366x768. But for what it is, the Sharp has amazing picture quality... And it weighs around 65lbs.
