Hey OLED GAF, so I recently purchased a Hisense 55" U8G and have about two weeks left to return it to Amazon. I didn't buy this set because I was penny pinching - it just checked all the boxes (Samsung sets are missing Dolby Vision, for example) and had glowing reviews at a great price point. It's been mostly pretty great (surprisingly so, considering how cheap it was), but the 120hz HDR modes are borked/washed out due to a recent firmware upgrade. I upgraded a Samsung KS8000 to a more modern set to have these features, so I'm not looking to settle for something without them in a usable place.
Either way, I was just sure I needed an LED since I use my TV as a PC monitor (for work as well), so I figured OLED was out of the question...but the release of the LG C2 and price drops on the C1 have definitely piqued my interest.
I never had an OLED before, so I'm not sure what to expect. My only sorta similar experience was owning a Panasonic GT50 years back for about a week - I returned it as I couldn't deal with the ABL. I played a bunch of NHL at the time, and the ice was straight up gray and dim.
I'm wondering if I'm just not the intended market for an OLED, what with planned PC usage, sensitivity to ABL and never watching TV in the dark...or maybe there's a particular set that is best at negating these concerns. I'm having trouble deciding, but the temptation is definitely there. Decisions, decisions.
