OLED Reccomendations

Dude cant you do your own research there are only like 5 tvs that are exactly in those specifications. Sony A1. LG B7, C7, E7. and Phillips 9000. Go to your local store and choose the one you like the most. Order online for the best prices.
I'd maybe ask in this thread they seem pretty on ball regarding pricing and specs off OLED's.

My first post on this forum! You can always go for a 2016 LG OLED and get it cheaper. The only difference may be a few nits dimmer in HDR mode, but other than that, those may be your best bang for the buck.
I have the 2016 OLED E6, and it is mesmerizing when watching 4K HDR content. A game changer in terms of TVs.

Yeesh. I have been looking around, but was hoping to get responses from people I trust on this board rather than a random tech review. No need to be a dick.
How does LG do their model numbering? Is E the top, and the others have compromises?
LG B7/C7 is exactly what you want.
Currently $2999 for the 65" but can be had for less. Look into a distributor called Cleveland AV.
Same panel in every set.

C7 all the way. It can also do 1080p 120fps in PC mode so if you ever do want to plug in a PC its viable. Also the colours and the response times are magnificent. However something to know about the LG OLEDs, their HDR modes can seem a little dim so if you are in a bright room I would be careful. I play Gears of war 4 in game mode with HDR in a dark room and it is truly a sight to behold. Amazing.
I've been using a LG B7/C7 (I can't remember which, whichever was the highest specced one that wasn't curved) and I was pretty happy with it. The colours are super vibrant, I didn't notice much if any input lag (though I'm not super sensitive to that stuff) and playing games like The Evil Within 2 and Observer or really anything with lots of black on the screen has been perfect.
All OLED screens are made by LG. You're paying for better processing (Sony) and styling differences. LG has better input lag than Sony as well.
I was able to get my B6 65'' OLED for $1,500 open box at Best Buy not too long ago. I had the LG rep go through everything I could think of so I could see any potential defects. Had only been in the store for a week. Be on the lookout for deals like that.

Dude calm down. I hate this rhetoric. He is doing his own research by coming to a community like this and seeking guidance from those that have gone before him in this decision. Attitudes like yours should not have a place here. It's embarrassing. Your response is just a shit post drive by and adds nothing to the discussion. Just ignore threads like these if they bother you.
People should not be afraid to ask questions here. Forums like this are a perfectly logical place to ask such a question.

Plenty of folks there more knowledgeable than me who can help out.
I'm currently looking in the direction of LG for OLED, they are the only maker of the panels aren't they? Edit: just noticed someone confirmed above.
Anyone know much about about calibration of HDR TVs? I can't help but feel that existing calibration discs etc would not be accurate or sufficient.

I've looking a lot into the Sony and LGs and apparently the $1000 premium for the Sony isn't worth it when you can Get an LG B7 or C7 that is the exact same panel, minus the crystal sound stuff for the Sony A1E.
This is correct.
However that Sony processing (the X1 Extreme chip) is really good.
Adding nothing to the discussion? I posted the exact same named tv everyone else did.
I have LG C7 so I would recommend that. The Sony A1 has a really daft stand and is overpriced imo.
The reason I would go with the C7 over models like the E7 or G7 would be cause of the small footprint of the base/stand (because they all use the same panel). The more expensive models come with these huge soundbars which imo are not required because if you're spending this much on a TV you should hopefully have a decent A/V receiver and speakers to go with it.

And no, you did not 'post the exact same named tv everyone else did'. You simply listed that among the five TV's that you said meet those technical specifications. That is not a recommendation which OP asked for. That is a google search. You rushed to respond and provided no personal recommendation or guidance whatsoever. So yes, I stand by my statement that your post added nothing to the discussion.
My main objection was to your condescending tone and attempt to shame someone who is looking for feedback from their favored community. That is what has no place here most of all. It adds nothing.
If you want to know which picture settings to use I would recommend (for movies) the Cinema Mode with all default settings when receiving a Dolby Vision or HDR 10 signal but make sure to turn off all image processing features e.g Trumotion, Edge Enhancement etc (OK to leave Dynamic Contrast on low for HDR 10 content as it improves brightness without adding any processing). For non HDR content I use my own settings (which took me a couple of months to finally get right after much experimentation).
