Not really surprised because the prices for these mini-LED sets are not THAT bad to the point where I don't think there is a value niche for QD-OLED in their lineup. Regular OLED at the low end premium, mini LED at the high end. If it weren't for the fact that my C6 is still perfectly fine (and the fact that I would feel embarrassed for telling anyone I spent $5500 on a TV) I would be REALLY tempted to get the 85" there. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Apr 17, 2024 |

Is mini-LED really better than OLED? I saw some specs for Sony’s Mini-LED Bravia and it mentioned dimming zones - why are we going back to dimming zones? Why are we going from perfect black and zero blooming back to lifted blacks and blooming whites? Just to chase brightness and less risk of burn-in?

Pretty much but OLED keeps improving on those 2 things and I think it’ll prevail.

It be fair, it's a LOT of zones. Sony doesn't disclose it, but rtings estimates it at 1920.

Definitely keeping my eyes open for deals on the 65" C3 - I have a 55" E8 right now and it's served me very well, but I've noticed a few clusters of dead pixels here and there. Not anything that's visible from couch distance, but it gives me an excuse to upgrade. I'll probably have to get a new receiver at the same time, since I'm using an X1400H that doesn't support HDMI 2.1/eARC.

Can the C3 turn off the tv via remote without the IR pointing at the tv? Is there a setting enable it to use Bluetooth or something? Seems like everything else doesn’t need a direct ir connection.

If you get a Chromecast ultra and name it TV you can just turn the TV off from anywhere in the house when you say "ok Google turn off the TV" Also works for turning it on, which is nice if you're making a snack for TV time, lets the TV boot past the splash screen and finish loading the home screen by the time you sit down, plus you don't need to look for the remote etc

I use HomeKit a lot on my phone and it continues to let me do it on this tv but it’s weird I can’t with the remote unless pointed at the IR. Mildly annoying since the soundbar is in the way so I have to arc my arm to get it.

IR only works by line of sight; it's not like Bluetooth or wifi. However, there are little infrared repeaters you can buy. Stick the new receiver somewhere easier to point at, and then the repeater transmitter where it will hit the TV's receiver. Not vouching for this one, but it's the kind of device you want: https://a.co/d/1Ix6usq

Another issue is that pretty much all TVs have some type of sound "enhancement" enabled by default that attempts to simulate surround sound by adding reverb and spatial separation. It almost always turns the audio into a noisy mess. This is also why most soundbars suck - many of them don't allow you to turn this stuff off.

I'm sure everyone in here has seen me post this but if you can possibly manage it in your room get a cheap receiver, 2 bookshelf speakers and some stands. Or a pair of powered speakers. Soundbars, HTiB packages, etc. are generally awful, unless you spend a ton of money at which point they become tolerable. 2 channels of good sound is a million times better than 5-15 channels of plasticky honking.

My main video room has good sound. My bedroom TV does not. I wish there was a slim receiver I could mount behind the TV. Just give me two HDMI and some speaker inputs.

These exist, they're just pricey for what you get like everything that touches the custom install market. There's also streaming amps like the Wiim amp, Sonos Amp or Powernode Edge.

What are the options for better sound that's not in bookshelf speaker form. My wife *hates* the way bookshelf speakers look by the TV. She likes a soundbar just bc aesthetically it's slim and low profile and blends into furniture. She's down for me upgrading the sound as long as it's visually pleasing.

Find an attractive looking set of Tower speakers? If you're not allowed to do something that's not a sound bar, then find a good one.

I bought second hand B&O powered speakers which look pretty good and cost a fraction of their original price. I have some Beolab 8000s in one living room and some 20s in another. Very happy with them.
