Yes you're right I need to get one and have a proper 'mess' - the one I got was a QLED so older generation and I messed forever with the settings, eventually getting something acceptable, at least for films. But with ordinary tv the faces looked like wax dummies (a bit like David Cameron) and sport was a real pain. From what everyone says on here OLED should be much better, and I see that a 48' LG C2 is around 799 so very tempting....

I'm holding out (almost certainly in vain - or pointless hope) for microLED to come down both in size and price to affordable levels.
If my TV were to give up the ghost now, I'd almost certainly go with one of the latest OLED TVs. QD-OLED has some way to go yet to prove to me that it's not still hampered by new technology teething problems. Maybe in 5 years and 3 more panel iterations they'll have ironed out its issues sufficiently. Much like OLED (and probably all the other technologies previous) had to.

Goodbye to Samsung , LG , Sony & all the rest. Another industry killed off by state funded Chinese companies
I doubt the LED tvs are IPS panels any more since they have limited contrast ratio? I would think that VA variants have taken over or they should have as the technology is far superior after a shakey start

Daytona,
Wow, that is a big TV, though I fear that it, too, would watch me after 15 minutes.

Here's your answer (at least for the US market). TLDR: predominantly VA, with more IPS than you might think.
IPS vs VA: Comparing LCD Types Found In TVs
There are different TV technologies that each affect picture quality in their own unique way. Competing LCD panel types each offer advantages and disadvantages, and choosing a TV with one type over another can come down to personal preference.

Agreed.
Filmmaker also tends to give a more natural colour palette.
I found with 60Hz OLED TV as a monitor I occasionally noticed a marginal flicker, usually when moving my head and/or in my peripheral vision. Went away with 120Hz OLED (still with same laptop outputting 60Hz 4K).

For me, wrong adjective, Gez. Whether it was the timbre of their (female) voices, the verbal diarrhoea of delivery or simply the American twang in monotone I don't know, but nothing registered as info. I could take on board.
Now where did I see that for sale valve-based CRT goldfish bowl I grew up with....?

Aim low, achieve your goals, avoid disappointment.
It depends how far away you sit from your TV. We've a 77” LG OLED in our Suffolk home, & because of where we sit, it really doesn't look huge. The panel's unfeasibly thin though.

The viewing angle of my 27" AMVA+ monitor I use for my media center is excellent. I have an early VA monitor I use with a pc and the improvement ( in viewing angle ) is staggering over that. VA panels originally were slow with notaceable movement blur, my Ilyama one has no such issues. And the good thing is they don't cost the earth. They were a cheap technology The article is no longer true re viewing angle for VA, certainly not poor. The trouble with IPS panels is with dark scenes like night time where the images can be murky grey and lack contrast, in fact horrible. I dont have any edge issues as suggested by the article

Well in summary (contrary to my previous post and belief) they have concluded after one year of accelerated usage that:
- LED and OLED have about the same longevity in terms of panel use before they start showing signs of permanent "burn in" (that phrase is a misnomer - at least for OLED - but it's the phrase people are familiar with).
- QD-OLED first generation panels are significantly worse than current OLED, but the second generation appear to have improved, but time will tell how they hold up (I'd still avoid them personally just on principle - I don't usually get involved with new tech until it's on at least it's third generation - there are exceptions).

Is it worth paying the premium for Sony or Panasonic variants of the LG tellies?

In most cases, LG supply the OLED panels to Sony and Panasonic so there is little to choose between them, other than features, price and processors.

But like most things which incorporate OEM stuff, it's the way it's configured with in-house electronics. Otherwise, why would they be different (I assume OLED TVs ARE different; LED ones certainly were and are)?
