In order to be future proof, you should get one that is 4K with HDR10 and/or Dolby Vision. Those are the new standards for movies and even Playstation games, which will become more common every day. If you're into a really amazing picture, you would consider only the OLEDs.
Personally, this is what I would buy:
http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-OLED…Reviewers across the board say it's hands down the best picture on any TV they've ever seen, basically.
- Sony uses the LG display in their best TVs too :)monospaced
- I'm secretly hoping my 10-year-old 46" Samsung LED dies so I can have a real excuse to buy this. Haha.monospaced
- HDR is nice but be weiry with it. No one works with this colour gamut yet (film and TV). hell i still think they are 4:0:0 chromamugwart
- hell most films are still worked at 2k. Be great for gamesmugwart
- @mugwart, there are movies and studios already releasing content in HDR, as well as game makers. it's rare, but it is happening and will be the new standardmonospaced
- but you're right, at this point, the vast majority of content won't take advantage of it at allmonospaced
- ^ what mugwart said. only very recently has finishing in 4k even been a thing - let along HDR...inteliboy
- I did say "future proof." Anyway, there's more content than either of you seem to be aware of.monospaced
- For games I can see the point but films - not yet. Most films are 2k and worked in in dcip3 or rec709 cubes. I can imagine they just convert "up" to HDRmugwart
- Netflix or streaming services will lead the way but that will be year plus away. No one is sure which one yet thoughmugwart
- you clearly know a lot of technical things, but there's a big collection of full HDR mastered films out there, and Dolby went in on it 100% with the standardmonospaced
- iTunes (and others) already have a huge catalog of 4K + HDR content available right this moment. Once again, I said "future proof" because it IS 1 year awaymonospaced
- Sucks buying a new TV just to find out that it's outdated the next year :)monospaced
