Interesting. Like you,I have a 7-55 with BL50s. Good to know.
In sd it does not stand a chance against a 7-55 mk1.
Key question: who watches SD on a 77" OLED 4K TV?
SD only just about looks acceptable on my 40". I avoid SD like COVID-19.
Isn’t this a bit like returning your Ferrari because it didn’t float?
I ment hd.I'm not impressed by oled 77 with 4k compared to 7-55 hd.And what to look at? Netflix doesn't have many 4k movies. And rental is expensive on apple tv. I mostly look at viasat sat. Sat is by far better than streaming.Key question: who watches SD on a 77" OLED 4K TV? SD only just about looks acceptable on my 40". I avoid SD like COVID-19.
But it was not, it was a kitcar.🙂Isn’t this a bit like returning your Ferrari because it didn’t float?
Thanks again for that comparison and comment. I also watch satellite virtually all of the time.I ment hd. I mostly look at viasat sat. Sat is by far better than streaming. Beovision 7-55 MK1 red, Beolab 10 red. Beolab 50, all black. Beolab 17 broken ice. Beolab transmitter. Apple tv4 and apple express 2.
The 7-55 has great design, but no way is it better than a current LG OLED panel. But I guess an opinion is an opinion. You might have got a defective set or are just used to the lower quality image on the 7-55 🤷🏽♂️
Agreed, mighty fine though the 7-55 may well have been.
But the broader point I think is that if you've got a not too old but still very good panel, and you dont watch UHD (4k+HDR), then upgrading isn't of huge benefit.
The new UHD panels will upscale HD / SDR content - some do it well (SONY), some not so impressively.
Whereas an older panel like the 7-55 will show HD / SDR content natively.

There is something that is not right sometimes, the colors are sometimes not convincing. And the more the picture moves, the worse it gets. Very varied, feels like there is not enough computing power. Obviously, a 77" becomes more revealing. Think they try to stuff too much in a jar.
