Probably gonna get them ones down the line. I think these ones are actually 2K so I'm not sure how big of an improvement they really are.
Fury Road is in 4k/UHD.

Grabbed La La LAnd in 4K, and I assume that the digital copy will be UHD as well?
As I do not own a UHD player yet, but Arrival looked nice enough in UHD Vudu, so I'm hoping La La Land is the same.
No, I'd wait to redeem it.
"Cannot redeem now to get UHD. Lionsgate says to wait for VUDU to add it in UHD. (No Timeline) Or redeem in HDX and call later for an upgrade (Flixster will not be adding it)"

This is what I use to check on the status of UHD digital codes.
Only a few studios allow for the title to port to Vudu in UHD.
Top UHD blurays, what's everyone got?
PE2, Lucy, Revenant seem to be the obvious ones. What else stands out?
Same.
Using an AVR basically fixes the handshaking issues. Mostly concerns the C6, E6 and G6, not the B6.
Wonder whether the 2017 LG OLEDs are also affected.
I'm picking up a Pro on Sunday, and have a C7, can experiment if you'd like. Only config I had to do with the Xbox One S was to switch the C7 to Deep Color Mode, otherwise HDR would not engage.
As long as you know what to expect, I would recommend it either way whether it's DIY or paid for. I wouldn't pay $450 though because I'm a cheapskate.Well that $450 is for hdr, gaming, isf dark, and isf bright.
That's never a solution because of panel lottery. You do more harm than good because you'll never achieve a good grayscale through sheer chance.Nah. With that money, I would get a nice AV Receiver or something. Imagine if you spend all of that money and you are not genuinely ecstatic about the way the picture settings look. I think you can even look online at some recommended picture settings for those modes for your OLED like AVS Forums on youtube if I remember correctly.

I feel like a lot of 2017 TVs are sorta no goes due to pricing unless you are willing to go top end. They are better than the 2016 models comparing TV to TV obviously, but you can get a better model 2016 TV on the cheaper low.
TV Comparison: Sony XBR A1E and LG OLED G7P
The sky shots (3:25) look blown out on the LG and more fuller and detailed on the Sony. The colors do look a lot more natural on the LG (3:21). Keep in mind, these sets were not professionally calibrated.
poor motion handling is a huge surprise.
They already got sony oled!
It's better than the A1E in several ways.$5,500?
Same price as the A1 for the same size?
Who is this TV for?
lol rtings.

Yeah but that motion handling rating is substantially worse than most LCDs, let alone top flagship LCDs that are 5k for a 65 inch.It's still an LCD after all.
Keep in mind this television was out before most of the newer models. Rtings is just reviewing it several months too late. Imagine what a Z9E would be this year. Their level of local dimming, full array backlighting with more zones, getting better DCI values and brightness that could be beyond 2000 nits if they can get similar Z9D levels on the X930E this year.
Again, the HDR on these sets is ridiculous if you see it properly calibrated. Seems weird to say but more 'impressive' than what OLED provides in my opinion. Something obviously OLED will rectify in the coming years as they improve brightness levels.
No mention of BFI on the Sony? That's an important reason why many ppl are prefering the Sony OLED.
The Z9D was the 2016 flagship that introduced the X1 Extreme that is standard to most high end Sony sets this year. The brightness advantage is quite significant in HDR content. Moreover, motion handling with the appropriate motion settings enabled is pretty great exceeding most competing sets. Without it enabled it will have the issues normally exhibited by LCD panels due to higher pixel response times. Only reason to not use Motionflow in the Clear setting is being sensitive to flicker.I get the brightness/nits argument (tho i don't entirely agree) but what else? It's the same X1 Extreme isn't it?
Yeah I think they're the 1st I've seen mention this, especially with how much that processor has been praised to heaven and back.poor motion handling is a huge surprise.
That's the one I'm waiting on, but I can already tell what's going to happen with that review.They already got sony oled!
These guys sell electronics so they don't necessarily review TVs. They also don't go into much detail like other testing sites.
Wow this PC monitor offers around 1000 nits which is more than what most of the current pricey TV sets offers: http://www.pcgamer.com/acers-predator-x27-g-sync-hdr-monitor-ticks-all-the-right-boxes/
Input lag is higher depending on the source (4K, 1080P) but I think only the most sensitive gamers would notice the difference.
It's a no brainer to get the Panasonic DX900 / DX902 instead of the ZD9 if it's available in your country, it's much cheaper too.
The ZD9 is a better set in most ways the only thing the DX902 has over it is in value.It's a no brainer to get the Panasonic DX900 / DX902 instead of the ZD9 if it's available in your country, it's much cheaper too.
I mean they gave it a motion rating based on its performance without backlight scanning. lolOne flaw (of many) in their rating scale is that they don't factor in the contrast ratio you get from having local dimming engaged. Let's be honest, 99% of people who buy these type of TVs are going to have it engaged. People aren't gonna buy a set that has this major feature to have it disabled. ~8000:1 contrast ratio is insane but the native contrast ratio of ~4300:1 is what's being considered in their rating.
The ZD9 is a better set in most ways the only thing the DX902 has over it is in value.
It's a fantastic alternative though and would be my main recommendation.
Aside from the greater DCI coverage, which is true though at the time those figures were obtained most sites were using less strict measurements to obtain those values.The ZD9 being better in most ways is an myth!
DX has better motion by far without resorting to any interpolation, which in turn looks nicer for gaming and with less lag.
DX covers 98% DCI vs 95-96 ZD
DX has lower input lag for 1080p 444 chroma 35 vs 42
DX has the highest full screen brightness of any TV 800+nits vs 650 ish
ZD has 130 more zones and has a bit less blooming basically.

To address your other points:
The best the DX902 can do in terms of motion resolution and that's with frame interpolation on, is 650 lines vs 1080 on the ZD. Using backlight scanning or BFI both sets are at least comparable but the ZD tends to perform better.
In game mode with 1080p content the ZD does about 42ms, at the expense of local dimming and jumps to 45ms with it on. The DX902 actually measures closer to 38. Ultimately this difference is negligible, and I suspect most users of these displays will be feeding them either 4K native content or pre-upscaled content which would be what you get from say a PS4 Pro.
As for brightness, the ZD comes at 1810nits of peak brightness with a full screen brightness of 750nits. The DX902 on the other hand has a peak brightness of about 1310nits with a full screen brightness of 883nit which makes it slightly brighter when displaying a fully white screen, but loses in peak brightness which in turn has a much bigger impact in HDR performance.
source 1, source 2
In most if not all aspects, the Z9D is either equivalent or slightly better while in others slightly worse, but the difference in peak brightness, blooming, and motion is significant.
The ZD also comes with Android and is going to be getting apps and software updates for years to come and is even getting DV this year when Nougat lands.
Now, as I said, the DX offers significantly better value and is a great alternative to the ZD but the ZD is the better set of the two.
