New TV

I finally stopped overthinking everything and picked up a Sony XBR X950G late last week.

LCDs don't have the black levels of OLED, and the color isn't as buttery. Plus, there's a very small darkening of the panel in each corner (very small, though).

Having said all that, though--boy, does this look great.

The colors are just beautiful, and the picture is razor sharp. With lousy source material, of course, it suffers, but everything else is stellar, and 4K content looks absolutely amazing.

Plus, for the 55", it was $1299, which is mid-range, so it's not even in the top tier of LCDs, and it still looks fantastic.

Overall, I'm incredibly pleased, and I don't have to worry about score tickers and bright sunlight and a bunch of other little things that I don't have time to mess with.
