Yes, I made the switch from plasma to OLED and it was well worth it. The black levels and depth of color are absolutely amazing and easily surpass those on my old Panasonic plasma. Check out rtings.com for reviews.
Also, burn in really isn't an issue on the the newer OLED sets made over the past few years.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Which Panasonic? When we finish our new addition, I want to get a bigger screen in the family room. I’m thinking either a laser projector or an OLED since Panasonic isn’t making plasma any more. We currently have the last flagship model they made, and it is amazing
I can't recall which the plasma model I had. Plasmas still look damn good but they unfortunately don't support 4K, HDR, and other benefits of the latest HDMI standards. I also noticed a substantial immediate difference in black levels after getting an LG OLED. Playing 4K HDR games, and other native 4K content (tons on Netflix) look absolutely amazing. If someone is not going to watch / play (games) 4K content I would stick with the high end plasma. If buying another set to compliment or replace it I would highly recommend one of the newer LG OLED models.
One interesting thing I heard about OLED's was from a BestBuy employee. While we were talking about OLED TV's he asked what type of set I was replacing. I said a plasma. He replied to me that he's noticed plasma TV owners primarily replacing their sets with OLED's as they tend to be the only sets that match or exceed plasma black levels.
Quoted from fosaisu:I hate the soap opera effect, and have smoothing permanently off on my set. I haven’t notice motion blur to be an issue watching sports, but maybe I’m less sensitive to it.
Regardless, I’d prefer the manufacturers to turn off smoothing by default, and would be fine having a button on the remote to toggle it.
I'm with ya. If I see the fast motion soap opera effect setting enabled on a family members TV I'll turn it off when they are not looking lol. When it comes to movies I prefer to live at 24fps.
