So, I'm looking to do a TV upgrade. Have had a 50" 1080p for 5 years now...while it still works, it def doesn't look as good as it used to and hardly compares to current models. Any good sites for ratings on new TVs? I'm looking not to get bigger, just upgrade. Any suggestions? 50-55" range...
Also, I'd like to get some $ for my old one...Craigslist is flooded with TVs...not sure what to do with this thing if I can't sell it... :?

Anyone else have an LG OLED?
These are perfectly good. Go to a Best Buy and check em out. I don't see the reason to spend 2k although I am not a tv nerd.
The thing that stood out for me with the Samsung 7 years ago was how natural and lifelike people looked on them. The LG, Sony and Vizio all made humans oversaturated and fake. More like CGI people than actual human beings. (Games and anime might look better on those though. I don't know.)
That still appears to be the case now. Lots of impressive displays at the store but the Samsungs still look more realistic to me.

I agree with Mr. Dudeman up there. The OLED picture is about as clear as you can possibly get. I mean I was blown away by it. But, I think, because it is so crystal clear and no blur, the picture constantly jutters and stutters as each frame goes by. It was giving my wife and I headaches. I think the problem is made worse by streaming services such as youtube tv, which we recently switched to as well. The LED's are not quite as bad with that.
And my old tv was a Samsung. So I was debating between that and Sony and the guy at Best Buy convinced me Sony is the better brand, currently at least.

Judder has something to do with how fast these tvs spit out frames per second or something. It makes it look like what you're watching is juddering or bouncing up and down as they move. The soap opera effect actually smooths it out more, but......then you have the soap opera effect.
I miss the days when tvs were not confusing as fuck.
Best TV I've owned. Awesome picture and same quality since it came out of the box. Highly recommended.
Been a wild couple of weeks over here!
The automatic picture settings can cause problems though. If you turn off the motion control and the adaptive brightness mode, it makes for much more stable movement.
"Movie Mode" with Brightness and Contrast cranked up is where it's at for lifelike images. Max out the Blur and Judder reduction and your golden......at least that's where I settled with mine. FWIW, my living room is pretty dark and I dialed the settings to reflect that. Also, most of what I watch is dramatic cinema. YMMV.
I think my old Samsung is always on movie mode, now that you mentioned it. I was watching golf on it today in the store and it just so happened to be side by side with both the LG OLED and the Sony 950 and, yeah, the Samsung may not have had the most vivid colors but it did look great and more realistic, like you said. Reminded me of my old one!
The Q80T did not disappoint me even though it took a bit of experimentation to dial it in.
Happy new TV day!
