Updated 8/19/2014 6PM EST Value Electronics has advised that after re-tallying the Samsung PN64F8500 collected the most votes across all the categories, and has announced that after deliberation it is now tied with the LG OLED for first place.

OLED is widely touted as the " next big thing" in TV display technology, and the favorite of videophiles following the death of plasma.

Now the votes of actual videophiles are in. At an annual TV picture-quality shootout hosted by Scarsdale, New York high-end retailer Value Electronics, LG's 55EC9300 OLED TV, available soon for $3,500, took the 2014 crown.

"This year was a close competition with many excellent contenders. We had a variety of flagship displays, both curved and flat panels, 1080p and 4K Ultra HD, as well as Plasma, LED, and OLED technologies", said Value Electronics' owner Robert Zohn.
