  I went to Best Buys and saw the LG C8 and LG B8 and both were good. I did not see that much difference. I want to think about it but I may go LG. I am hopeful to hear from some people that are living with these and see what they think
  
  Thanks for the info

    There is a very good chance the OLED panel in the Sony was made by LG. Also, before you make the move, spend some time with the "smart" functions of both the Sony and LG. LG has a very good rep for their smart functions ... although I've not had the chance to dive into Sony's version myself. A good friend bought the XBR a couple of months ago, but have not been to his place yet to play with it.

      I don't have a smart Sony TV but I do have a smart Sony 4K disc player. It's streaming functions are a snap to use and pick up our wifi signal thru 4 walls and 40 ft with no problem.

      The OLED panel in the Sony was definitely made by LG. They are the only one now making OLED panels. Sony uses their own electronics, but one is basically paying a Sony Tax for their OLED.
      People need to keep in mind the image retention/burn in issues with OLED. By all accounts, it's worse than with plasma.
