Yeah, but that part about laying a lot of money and then you'll see it drop to about half price - that's how it will always be... and with everything you buy.

When these OLEDs drop, then there will be a better display, which might have some new standard you just have to have.

But I agree, OLEDs are insane right now, but the "price drop" still intriuges me. It dropped to half price now, but unfortunately it just went from extremely insane to just a little insane. But still insane...
This is the problem. I had friends who bought a 50" Bravia a few years ago for £1000.

I bought a much better 50" Bravia in January for £590, and I'd expect the same TV or equivalent model to be £499 next year.

But, hey, who am I to give advice? I bought a graphics card for my PC last year for £620. The same ones are selling now for £349.

If the price seems affordable to you, then it's a good deal. OLEDs aren't anywhere near what I'd want to drop on a TV yet.

I've not been paying huge attention to the subject but isn't the price hugely prohibitive at the moment?

I bought a new TV a few months ago, fully aware that it's just a stopgap until 4k OLED becomes actually affordable.
It is, but it just dropped a bit here. That said, it's like saying "hey, this used to cost 2 mil now it's only 1 mil - that's half price and you save 1 mil!" But... it's still 1 mil, you know.

Anyways, the 55" are hella cheap, but I need that 65" and the cheapest right now is $4,500...

Tree of Life would look great on an OLED screen.
Very true. That's a huge +1 already

I remember when Rodent was just about to knock Spudracer off the shoutbox leaderboard we were joking about him returning at that moment haha. You're late!

It's a reflection on the elaborate level of pranks on this board that I am not sure if this is the real spuddy or a SC/Yoda hoax
