LG's 65" 4K curved OLED TV finally ships in the US

LG launched its 65" 4K OLED TV (the 65EC9700) in the US in September 2014, but shipments have been very limited and even if you had $9,999 to spare, it was difficult to actually buy one. But now Amazon finally started shipping this high-end OLED TV

10k... wow

For that price i expect a TV to my liking.. a dumb TV, with zero features or software, ill trade in all that for the feature of having just a single dp1.3 in and a support for 120hz @ 4k + adaptivesync with range 0-120hz.

I call BS on that "HDR algorithm". You can't make up data that isn't there. All that it probably means is that they're stretching out and interpolating the highlights to make them appear brighter. But that's not exactly something that couldn't be done before... personally, I calibrate my monitors and projectors to 80-100cd/m² anyway, while the factory setting at least of monitors is usually more around 200cd/m². So there would've been plenty of room for "HDR" imagery.

Anyway, anything on a BluRay or whatever has 8 bits of information per color channel and HDR is usually 32 bits per channel. So this is really a weird/misleading name for such a feature.

Wake me up when companies acknowledge curved screens smaller than like 100" are a gimmick to artificially inflate cost, and they finally start releasing, advertising, and making readily available FLAT versions of these 55"-75" OLED screens
