First of all, there's only oleds in 55" and 65", not 60". Secondly, the LG G6 is $3000+ for a 55. It's not dropping to $600-800 anytime, ever. The B6 line uses the same panel without the soundbar and is $2000-2500. It's dropping down to $1850 on ebay, but it's not going to be $600-800 in the next 5 years, probably even longer. Unless you can find one used and are extremely, I mean extremely lucky. The price your asking for will never be official though, they'll be phased out before they drop that low.

Remember, LG owns patents to make cheaper, better OLEDs. These ARE the cheaper prices. Samsung can't even produce an OLED cheaply because they don't have the patents. If Samsung were to compete, it would more likely actually drive prices UP, as they'd be $6-10k. Even in the best scenario, you're not getting an OLED from a store for $600-800. You MIGHT get lucky and get a heavily used one in a few years though, but you'd be playing the lottery.

My goal is to get a 55" B6 or equivalent for $1500 by time PS5 comes out.

You cant beat the value

I did the same my misses weren't happy 😊

Actually the G6 has 20ms latency. The B6 is at 60ms, and some are hoping with a firmware update may match the G6. If not, the next line may have one. Again though, the G6 is $3000-4000, the B6 is still $2000 though.

As far as brightness goes, OLED is the only TV that can produce perfect black, which makes it's need for brightness slightly lower. Still, 600 nits is very bright though, and I actually keep my current 1080p a bit darker for eye strain. I'd pick the OLED any day, but I need the money.

I'm really hoping the B6 line gets a firmware update for better latency though. It uses the exact same panel as the G6, so it should be feasible. Even if I had the money for a G6 though, I wouldn't bite. Why? The soundbar is FUGLY. Seriously. I'm not paying an extra $1k for ugly looks and a soundbar, I can find other sound solutions.

While OLED is nice, the LED's from Samsung, LG, and Sony are quite remarkable in picture quality if you move from the bargain versions of the Samsung(which are mostly older models).

HDR on the Samsung is as bright, and much more vibrant than even an OLED, with a touch of sacrifice to the black levels, which would probably not be an issue for gaming since blacks often get clipped anyhow for faster rendering.

While I would love an OLED myself, realistically, price vs value, LED from the better manufactuerers tends to be much more beneficial. I also don't see the OLED's coming down in price any time soon, and likely will end up being the DLP of yesteryear, where the tech fades away for TV's. LED's keep getting better too, so by next year, this years model of LED's will be in the range your looking for, with the nicer, faster ones, being in the $800-1200 range.

Nothing wrong with waiting a bit though. Changes to the sets tend to come after the Super bowl, after the game clearance sales, so after that, you can get some of the newer TV's for a reasonable price, and the older one's can be brought cheaper, or often times there are good deals in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl.

@Rainslacker

Yeah, perfect black can be an issue with OLED. The reasoning is most content is aimed at LEDs now, so adding perfect black is effectively crushing blacks when the content isn't mastered for an OLED. I assume that only gets worst with gaming. However some are saying they can calibrate some black detail into OLEDs, but it's not very well documented on websites. In short, if you buy an OLED for gaming, you'd better know what the hell you're doing, know the risks(latency may never be patched), and be willing to pay the price.

That's why my contingency is OLED by time PS5 is released. Hopefully some bugs, calibration details, and price get resolved by 2019-2020.

Which tv did you go with? I went with the 65 inch Samsung UN65KS9000.

Taken from Hdtvtestco.uk:
"Input Lag
The LG OLED65G6’s input lag measured as being 34ms using the Leo Bodnar testing device. While it’s not as snappy as the fastest televisions (which come in at the 16-21ms mark), it’s on the right side of acceptability and is a significant improvement on previous iterations. During the test process we tested out a mix of both 30fps and 60fps games on the 65G6 and were very happy with the performance. By its nature, lag was less noticeable on the 30fps remaster of Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess on the Wii U (yes, we have one), than it was on 60fps shooters like Halo 5."

And this is WITHOUT HDR, HDR will make that value more or less double, trust me on that !
If you buy an expensive TV like this you really want it to be able to game in HDR with a latency UNDER 30ms... :)
