This is bad advice. There are lots of us in this thread who use our OLEDs for primarily gaming without issue. LCD's have limits to their pixel response resulting in trails behind some motion. OLEDs don't have this limitation. LG's OLEDs have very fast input lag, too.
As far as brightness, OLED has far more contrast between highlights in HDR on scenes with mixed contrast compared to LCD. They are bright enough for most HDR content.
Biggest justification to get an LCD these days is price and price per inch, to be honest.
Solid sub I had one for awhile. Ultimately sold it to move up to a SB16 Ultra. Looks like you have the room to place a 2nd one. Would even out the bass response nicely if you added a 2nd one.
I do remember you arguing opposite for B6 ;). I actually think there's very easy rule when selecting OLED vs LCD. Unless you plan to watch A LOT of HDR on your TV OLED is an easy win. It has much better "regular" picture (including 4k) aside from ABL. LCDs with similar picture are way more expensive than OLED at this point.Completely agree, and I've said it once and I'll say it again, the B7 blows my old 1300nit 512 zone
out of the water.

So it sounds like you both have reasonably similar sonos systems (playbar, sub, two Play1s (or 3s) as rears).
At $2000-ish, that doesn't sound too bad for a wireless system that will tie in with other sonos speakers in the house.
Question: how easy is it to set up that system? Does the app say "oh, you are adding a play3, do you want that to be left rear?" or does it involve some trickery

Stupid question: new to 4K. I just bought a 50inch Vizio 4K (no HDR). I have an original PS4. If I have the 4K streaming option from Netflix, Can I play 4K content? Or would I need a Pro to play 4K off Netflix? And that goes for any other streaming service, Amazon prime etc.
I agree..
No. If gaming is the main use do not get OLED due to burn in.
Also OLEDs don't even hit the standard nit brightness for most HDR standards so it will be a much darker image.
After having a Panasonic VT25 for so many years I wanted to move away from burn in and darker images.

Monster Hunter's HDR implementation looks fairly washed out, at least from my time in the beta. I wouldn't look to it for checking any of your settings.For the owners of a Sony 930E, 65 inch. Could you share your settings?
I don't think I even need to ask for both SDR and HDR settings cause it seems these two are shared on this TV, which I'm not a huge fan of, but ah well. Have been playing a lot of Monster Hunter World today and I'm not yet satisfied with the overall look, I'd like to try out some settings from others.
What streaming video rental service has the best quality stream? Want to watch IT tonight and I see that Vudu, Xbox Store, and Amazon all have it in 4K HDR. Vudu is tempting because of the 99 cent first rental offer.
Also, would it be better to watch it through the LG Vudu app as that supports Dolby Vision, or would the Xbox One X also display DV?

It sounds like you're gaming mostly on consoles, but if you use a PC, don't sleep on the 1080p/120hz mode. I turned it on, and finally beat King Dice and The Devil in Cuphead. My old set had something like 60ms lag, so I was...playing with a bit of a handicap previously.Played several matches of BF1 on X on my Sony 930e and I immediately noticed the lower input.
Mindlessly easy. Whole thing will take you less than 20 mins.
You pretty much setup the playbar and it walks you through making sure your optical is plugged in correctly and then programs the IR receiver on the play bar to work with your normal tv remote and makes sure you get sound etc. then when you power up the sub it's pretty much like "do you want to add this to your playbar" you hit yes and you're done with the sub. Then you go to the settings for "living room" for example and hit "add rears" and you push the button on the rear speakers so it knows which one is which. Finish it all off doing the trueplay eq to calibrate for the room by using your smartphone as the mic and wandering around your room for 60 seconds. The end.

I've yet to hear anyone get burn-in from Gaming. Some people with faulty panels have IR but most not even that.
As the person in the video says, the picture quality is worth the extra responsibility.

My SNES Mini runs off a USB port on my B7, so there must be some power output there.Anybody running bias lighting on a C7? Wanna get an LED strip but I'm guessing there's no power to the USB port on the set. Need to run an extra wire around the back etc
I have a LG B6. Image retention is real. I see it all the time, but seriously, it is not an issue. It lasts for a couple of minutes max and I can only see it on single color screens.
No need to babysit OLED sets.
A couple of months away from having 2 years of gaming under my belt on my B6 and not a hint of burn-in on it, and I've not babied it in the slightest. Don't believe the FUD spread by people with no experience of these sets.
Literally the only IR I've seen, is when the large Cuphead tile (XB1) has been on screen for 30 seconds or so......but that's it, and I've played tons of stuff with static HUD's.
Yup, after getting one myself it feels weird how worried about nothing I was before.
I grabbed the mount for the playbar too. Will be mounting it under the TV on the wall.

OLED has burn in. It's not a debate or an "issue" it's a plain fact. Destiny 1 burnt into my VT25 and I don't want a game I play a lot doing that again. So for me that decision was easy.

I am so tired of people debating and dismissing OLED burn in here. Just because you haven't burnt anything into your set yet doesn't mean it doesn't happen or that it will never happen to you. You are providing nothing but anecdotal evidence. I am providing actual proof.
Your statement about LED motion trailing is only true for some cheaper and poorer quality LEDs. While burn in on OLEDs is for all TVs that use that type of screen. It doesn't matter which set.
Plus OLEDs remained stagnant at CES this year while LEDs made massive gains. Hopefully 2019 has some improvements for OLEDs.
And honestly it's all about the actual TV in the end.
