I bought an LG OLED TV last black Friday. Its incredible. I rarely watched TV but this winter I found lots of excuses to watch as much as possible.

Special mention to Amazon's the Grand Tour. Available in 4k HDR some segments have the best quality video I've ever seen - sometimes the TV just looks like a window.

I also bought a 4K OLED TV last black Friday. It's great. I played some games on it and it was amazing.

One thing that was off-putting: I'd noticed that the picture isn't perfectly square. Indeed, it seems that the TV warps the picture over time until you go through the one-hour-cleanup-thing in the settings. It's basically like oldschool degaussing, I gather.

But the color reproduction and contrast is amazing. My old 23" LCD TF panels just don't hold a candle.

I'm considering getting one of those LG 65" OLED TVs, after seeing one in-store and being completely blown away by the picture quality. Much like the GP I can't recall the last time I saw a display that actually wowed me, but watching a space shuttle take off, and bright stars as dots against a pitch black sky without the typical blue-ish backlight bleed, was just amazing. I stood there watching the same 4-5 minute video loop for what must have been half an hour or so.

But your comment now gives me pause – the picture warps over time? Do you have any sources on this so I can learn more?

Certainly it's nothing like degaussing; it's a panel of individually addressable OLEDs that do not move, not a vacuum tube.

My guess is that this is an artifact of some sort of 'motion control' or other processing the TV applies.
