Cas1 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Hi, I'm saving up for a G85, and with that I'm looking for a 4k screen. The screen is going to be used as a monitor for my pc. I like to have 40" +. My priorities are: 1) viewing angle 2) colour accuracy 3) NON flickering when set to low brightness 4) latency 5) HDR ready My budget hovers about € 700. Any recommendations? - Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cas1 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Ok, at the moment I've arrived at the Sony KD-49XD8099 It looks like it ticks all the boxes, accept it's a bit over budget ~900 €. As a bonus a few more inches, and H265 decoding! Apparently the 43" model has a VA panel; even though on Sony's website both panels are listed to have "Triluminos™ Display". http://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model-display/a20c636 shows what panel each display has. The Samsung KS8000 has a VA panel = instant disqualification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesku Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I think all HDR TVs has VA-panel except OLEDs. IPS panel has not enough contrast to show HDR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil A Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I'm sticking with plasma until OLED reachs more affordability. I feel not too great about spending $$$ on a latest-and-greatest 65" LCD that actually has worse image quality than my Panasonic Viera from forever ago. I also feel like HDR/10bit needs maybe 1 or 2 years more to maturity, the main reason I postponed spending on a new TV this year. tomekk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a 42" Viera Free yesterday from a woman that bought a new LED panel who was going to throw it away. Plasma is still unmatched in image quality except for high-end OLED. Also closest you'll get to theater look in my opinion. Next panel I buy is going to have to meet Dolby Vision specifications. Don't see the point of buying something half-way there.
