General DirecTV Question

Agreed, most people shopping for TV's, do so on price. This is why the prices have dropped so much recently.

I'd love a OLED Set but I really have a hard time spending so much when there are other options (LCD's) with technology which can get me within a very close proximity to a TRULY OUTSTANDING OLED picture for 400 to 800 dollars or more of a discount. There is also the Dynamic range issues of OLED, and the tendency of OLED pixels to degrade over time like Plasma.

There only a handful of OLED Competitors, if you land a bargain basement OLED (Hisense) set, there are LCD's that will beat them on Picture, Features, Color AND PRICE.

If OLED is to be the default technology of the future, like LCD defeated Plasma, OLED needs to come down in price if it is to become the Dominant display technology for large screens.

There's nothing wrong with a TCL TV. Their Series 6 4K models were rated higher than many competitors. The only TV I've ever had to repair was my $2500 Samsung 4K. The main board when out on it and had to be replaced. I have a 65" TCL 4K that looks beautiful after calibration and hasn't had a bit of trouble. A friend has a 75" Sony 4K that he paid three times as much for and it looks awful - cannot get the picture dialed in and everything looks washed out. Point is, just because it's inexpensive doesn't mean it's crap or won't last.
