Oh, and Calman's newest update will allow the calibrator to cal dolby vision and then load the settings into the DV engine on the chip. Not many devices are able to do this yet, and it is still experimental.
Anyone have an OLED?

If the calibrator has the right gear, you can now calibrate Dolby Vision mode in 2017 LG OLED's.

The question for me is, how does DV compare to HDR10 on a higher nit display anyways?

I would imagine it would be significant on a high-nit display but "high-nit" wouldn't seem to apply to an OLED.
I would imagine that being better defined, DV probably has benefits to even the less bright displays.
DV should apply to lower nit displays, but with OLED's running 0-800 nits, and movies mastered at 1000, not sure it even makes a huge difference.
Maybe the dynamic part of it will make more detail show. Power Rangers was the first DV really out there, and the PQ has not WOW'd people. Prime example of things, it was a 4K master and a DV title. Most people running these HDR10 and DV displays uncalibrated so user reports of "more vibrant colors" and BS like that need to be taken with a grain of salt. My E6 OLED does 0 to 720 nits, and is pro cal'd for HDR10. It looks outstanding.

I recently picked up 2016, 55 inch LG OLED from Target of all places at the below price.. I'm pretty happy!
Very nice.Im currently in a holding pattern, spending time thinking about the 65" A1E Sony OLED or a 75" 940E LED.
I was planning on an OLED, but setting up a theater instead and went with an Epson LS10000 and a 126 inch screen. It's a discontinued projector, but half the price of the current model.
I wish I could swing a 77" OLED, but I think the 940E is a damn fine set after reading up on it.
I haven't even looked at models yet. Still deciding if I want to buy another investment property.. I know I can go 75in, but its been a while since I measured the space. I don't know if or how much bigger I could go.
Staring down the barrel of several promising technologies (HDR1000+, HLG, DolbyVision and others), I'd be hesitant to make capitol equipment level expenditures at this point.
I'm still holding out hope that the manufacturers see a future for HDR in WCG at the 1080p level. Even if it requires new panels and projector arrays, I'd hope they would be significantly less expensive to manufacture.
Of course I freely admit that I can no longer hear half the range of a 30KHz tweeter and sitting close enough to discern the resolution improvement of a UHD TV would probably make me hurl.

Just not widely or consistently implemented.
I still see arrows in people's backs.
My "5 year" HDTV is now going on 12, and is doing fine, thank you. I will replace when it dies, or UHD prices drop enough to be compelling.

I'm talking about in LG OLED's, I don't much care about anything else. Samsuck is a joke right now, and Sony is coming along.
Some would never consider an LG so you're statement is somewhat out of the context of reality. Whether or not you hate Samsung, where they go, that's where 20% of the market is. LG was just into the double digits last year. Both the Korean companies are steadily losing share to the Chinese.
As navychop points out, whether or not these technologies take off and whether the LG implementation is any good remain to be seen. I have higher hopes for DV because it likely has more stringent qualification testing but I can see where it might not be commercially successful for the same reason. At the moment the only real content support for HLG seems to be on YouTube and in ATSC 3.0's HDR methodology and that isn't much assurance of success in the US as a preferred medium.
Keeping up with comments from the Shootout, seems the ZD9 (when straight on), and E7 looks closest to the pro Sony grading monitor they have there. A1E is a close 2nd.
Best I can find from this year is, for $1500 more (todays pricing) you get slightly better motion (before using frame interpolation) on the Sony A1E vs LG OLEDs, and better processing with poor content, other than that its a wash.

LG 7 series OLED won the shootout, with the A1E getting the studio room (dark) honorable mention. Gotta think the lack of CMS controls hampers the Sony a bit.
This was all supposed to be judged against a Sony reference grading monitor.
