Just curious if you have found OLED to in fact look better than the last gen Panasonics? I have the last VT produced and am super happy with it, minus the fan noise. Is OLED at the point yet to replace or should I be holding off?

The VT's are awesome!!! I had client who moved into a new place a couple years ago and the previous owner had left two tv's, one of them of was a VT. He asked me if he should change them out. I told him there was nothing better on the market at the time and he was lucky the old homeowner didn't take it with him.
Now, the 2016 LG's OLEDs (B,C,E,G series) were essentially the same performance with different feature sets and cosmetics. They had an amazing picture especially with UHD Bluray (HDR).
The new 2017's are coming April/May and according to their press release 25% brighter with a couple new features (which may or may not be useful). Presumably, the tv's will have a same performance but different feature sets / cosmetics across the different models.
My advice is if you are primarily using to watch cable / Netflix, it will be better but maybe not completely worth a $$ to upgrade (this is very subjective to the individual, most people should wait). However, if you are thinking of upgrading to 4k/HDR (Amazon Prime, and particularly UHD Bluray) it will be a significant upgrade and the difference might well be worth it.
For anyone looking to buy an OLED, wait for the new models, they end in 7 ie B7, E7 etc. Last year's models are the 6's.
