People are ignoring the elephant-uhm - the calibrator in the room...

More than 3x. Panel yield has only started to improve in the last year or 2. Costco has a great 65” OLED 4K tv on display for a price I paid for my 1080P LED 3 years ago.

Saw my first OLED TV at Target yesterday — beautiful! So much nicer than the regular LEDs. It's exactly what I'm looking for, except for the price point. Maybe there will be some good BF/CM sales.

Calibrate all of those displays to Rec 709 or other HD standard and they'll all look the same: Accurate.

The technology is still advancing. This time next year the 2018 models will be even better and cheaper.

Accuracy is one thing, color gamut is another. You can be accurate but still not reflect 100% of BT.709. I don’t think any tv comes close to BT.2020 yet.

That's the problem: too many standards! But even calibration of just the 'basic five'(Brightness, Contrast, Color, Hue, Sharpness) and turning off all the artificial enhancers(Dynamic contrast, DNR) in Advance Settings will get the average Joe a lot closer to realism than leaving TV in the factory Vivid mode. Plus calibrated settings could lower energy consumption, and will definitely extend display life.

Athletic field turf does not look like the green of Christmas lighting, nor is David Muir's(ABC) face red as a stop sign.
