@GarbonZoni It's a different level of depth to an image and whilst I still have 'long term' reservations, the initial quality is undeniable. It was 'impressive' back when I bought my KS8000 in 2016 too but HDR and Colour Volume compared to LCD's - especially in Daytime rooms - was lacking - and for me, would never have lasted as long as my KS8000, which, right up until my Screen blew, it was not worth replacing for '120hz'. However, this delivers similar, if not 'better' peak Brightness and actually a wider Colour Gamut than the KS, so with HDR, its more 'impactful' even in brighter rooms - something the Matte Screen should also help with.
I have a Surround sound system - but I barely use it these days as my TV's audio is more than adequate for my room and maybe the wall mounting helps the sound reverberate more. It's 'bassy' enough and it's loud enough at 10-12 (goes up to 100) I can hear it everywhere in my house. Obviously 5.1 is a level above but at 10pm ish, when I watch movies most, its too much for that time of night. Gaming I use a headset anyway so I don't really need to use my Sound system - saves some on the Electric Bill... LOL
I've still not really had a chance to Game - just an hour or so, but man does it look great.
The fact that these TV's have to come with built in systems to try and prolong its life with Pixel Shifting, screen wash etc doesn't ally my long term concerns but I did buy with a 6yr Warranty and from a trusted retailer too. As long as this experience lasts, I will be happy but as I've only had it about 48hrs, its still early days...
I certainly don't regret my purchase - it was 'necessary' in my case, but I'll only know if I was 'right' to jump in to having an 'OLED' over LCD for the amount of usage I put my TV through and life expectancy in time. 8yrs is good enough for me - how long my KS800 lasted for Similar Cost - my Bedroom TV is 10yrs old now. Its my OLED concerns that made me stick with 55" instead of jump up to 65" but I will enjoy this TV, make sure its on Standby so will run its 'protection' when it needs to and 'hope' it will still be as good in 5-6yrs time...
