I dont know how old you folks are BUT
This reminds me of the Betamax vs VHS fight.
Betamax rolled out first and with higher quality specs however, VHS was cheaper and eventually became the standard.
Im sure im leaving other details out but you get the point.
I have a 60" Sony XBR LCD. Out dated and obsolete but tsill working. Until it fails, I will wait.
Another thing to consider is content. The available avenues are becoming wider and more folks are "cutting the cord"
More reason to wait IMO

well..more or less. :rimshot: with beta vs vhs if you bought the wrong unit you couldn't buy content.
all these tv display technologies work with all content so you're not out in the cold if you choose something that isn't popular in 5 years.

It's not like that at all. Betamax and VHS were still the same crappy SD tape technology. OLED is a totally different different tech that overcomes the poor black level and viewing angles inherent to LCD. Like plasma, the cells generate their own light instead of filtering a backlight, but the panels get even darker than plasma, going almost completely black, and they do it without resorting to the local dimming trickery some LCDs use to try to make up for their poor black level, trickery that is inadequate and always causes blooming.
