Pioneer Kuro dying? - Blu-ray Forum

A new power supply is significantly cheaper than buying a brand new TV. At least with the kuro you already know the performance is guaranteed.

But you have an 8G correct? 768 resolution? In that case i guess it's worth looking for a new TV.

If i had any issues with my 9G elite i would definitely rather spend money to fix it over buying any of these 4K LCD's. OLED's premium price is not worth the PQ difference over the kuro at the moment. Which it doesn't do exactly everything better anyway.

Seems like LG's new series so far has drastically improved most of the prior complaints. Not 100% but to the point where it doesn't bother the vast majority of previous Kuro owners any more. By far most of the people so far who upgraded from 9G Kuro's on to the G6 and E6 are saying they are glad they are glad they did.

Plus OLED right now really isn't any more expensive than the 9G Kuro's were when they were new, in fact it's likely that the 55 inch B6 will be cheaper than any of the 9g Kuro's were new at the time.

Most of those kuro owners wanted to upgrade from the 50" size and they have the red tint. Just like your 5080 does. I have yet to read about anybody selling a properly functioning kuro. There's just no way i would give up my 2700+ hours 151 that's in tip top shape for any TV right now. It's not like i would do that either way. It would just go into another room.

Not to deny that the LG OLED is a good TV. I just feel there's really no rush for me to do so. I would rather wait till other manufacturers are making them anyway and i have more options to weigh each performances.
