Given my own financial situation, I'd end up regretting purchasing the E7, even though LG recently cut its price by $1,500 to $4,000. And you can find this model on BestBuy for $3,500.
To me, its benefits don't justify its cost, especially when you can find plenty of great HDR-compatible 4K LCD TVs for less than $1,000.
Yes, the E7 offers unbeatable contrast and can display an amazingly wide range of colors. But after I returned it, the only thing I truly missed about it was its jumbo-sized 65-inch screen, which put the 47-inch display on my own TV to shame.
Indeed, testing the wallet-killing E7 for a month actually made me more appreciative of my own TV, which cost just $500. I enjoy TV shows, movies, and games just as much on that LCD set, which supports neither 4K nor HDR, as I did on the E7, with its OLED display and support for both new screen technologies.
The E7 isn't LG's only OLED TV. The company offers a bunch of less expensive ones, including some priced around $2,500, that should perform just as well as the E7. That's still pricey, but some may find it easier to justify.
Of course, if you have the money to burn and don't use your TV mostly for watching cable TV, you could really appreciate the E7.
