For a truly premium 4K HDR experience, you’ll have to shell out a little more, but if that isn’t a concern, then the B6P series from LG is the one. OLED screens are typically extremely expensive, but LG’s B6P has been steadily dropping in price.
The wafer-thin screen uses self-lighting pixel technology, delivering an unrivaled standard of black and color reproduction and an extremely wide color gamut. That means inky blacks, perfectly presented grayscale, and clean motion – in fact, there is almost no motion blur at all – that no LCD or LED can match.
It should be noted that while its peak brightness of over 700 nits is not as high as Samsung’s KS8000, OLED screens require just 500 nits to be considered UHD premium rather than the 1000 for LED screens.
Input lag was a relatively high 50ms when HDR is enabled, but LG has recently released a patch to lower latency to around 33 ms. Sure, that isn’t the ultra low-mid 20 ms latency of Samsung, but the screen quality more than makes up for this minor disparity. You’re also not going to have any issues with viewing from a wide angle as is present with the KS8000.
