So I have a very long history with going through these 4k tvs and having bad luck with them, I first jumped on tge bandwagon to soon and the early ones didn't support hdcp 2.2 so had to buy into that, then I discovered a nasty little thing that inherits these tvs alot and that's a thing called DSE (Dirty screen Effect) look it up if you haven't heard of it, it's actually a thing. I have gone through 8 tvs because of this and it had me seriously considering just going back to my tried and true Pioneer elite 1080p plasma. So my last resort was with the manager at Best buy where I bought my other tvs and he told me that they would do a direct exchange for either the new 2018 LG nano cell Suhd 4k TV 65in or an LG OLED55b7, only reason I didn't jump on the oled was because it was a 55in even though I knew I would hands down by satisfied with the picture and not have to worry about the dreaded DSE.
So I decided to give the 65in LG nano cell a try. After I had my tech come over and ISF calibrate it, I started the process of critical movie watching. First thing I noticed was how bright this TV can get which is a good thing, second was the extremely wide color gamut, nice deep and vibrant colors without being fake or overdone. Next thing I noticed and the most important is I have so far notice no DSE during black or white scenes. Blacks are very black but not quite inky like a good plasma or oled but very believable. However, there is light bleed, it's minimal but it's there if you really look for it. I'll have to give it a couple more days to see if any DSE occurs or if it stays the same which I'm hoping it does. Can I live with the slight light bleed? At this point I don't know, but im about to really say screw it and just get that 55in oled and call it a day. Could get the 65in but at a price difference of $1200 out of my pocket and im not wanting to fork out that much coin on top of what I've already spent.
So that's pretty much it, these new nano cells are one step below the Totl oleds (well the model I have is) and it's very impressive. Most would be more than satisfied with it as it really is a stunning picture but at this point I'm not to sure I'm willing to live with that little bit of light bleed that is in all led tvs even the nano cells. We'll see though in the next couple days if I decide to keep it or upgrade the model yet downgrade the size. It's really a shame that we have to go through this with tvs these days, I never even thought about DSE or motion issues when I owned plasmas.
