It's also going in a room that's in direct sunlight a lot of the time. Family members have a tendency to fall asleep Yeah, I wouldn't be concerned about burn-in so much if it were just me using the TV, even if it included gaming (which it will - I will be getting an 8K OLED at some point for cinema and PS5). I know I can be sensible about not leaving it on one thing for too long, and using the screensaver to minimise risk. But in the living room where my 5 and 7 year old watch, and sometimes game, some times unsupervised and sometimes leaving either one paused, and where there is a ton of ambient light, QLED seems to make the most sense. Particularly with the increased screen brightness and, as you say, lack of reflectiveness. Also, while I doubt it competes overall with OLED in image quality, it's supposed to be closer than ever. Happy to post some thoughts when I've had a few days with it.

FWIW my Vizio PQ65 which has the same quantum dot tech has really impressive blacks, pretty much as good as an OLED in a dark room.

It's also going in a room that's in direct sunlight a lot of the time. Family members have a tendency to fall asleep I just got my q90R after two OLEDS so can also chime in here, too. In perfect room conditions, the OLEDs were definitely stunning but in a sunlit living room they just could not delivery to their best. The Q90 is incredibly bright and punchy during the day, and the anti reflective filter is amazing. I also have family members who tend to leave the tv or games on when they're done(or we leave shows on in the background) so this was just added peace of mind to not have to worry about burn in. If you can deck out the room properly, OLED definitely has the edge, but outside of that the advantage of the insane brightness on the q90r and lack of reflection in a daylit room more than make up for the potential blooming which is only noticeable in dark room conditions at some extreme angles. I would also add that the q90r is almost too bright in a blacked out room depending on content sometimes because we're set up for daytime viewing PageMaster fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Jul 23, 2019 |

One criticism I did read jives with your comments, namely that it can be almost too bright, particularly with HDR content, but I feel this can probably be sufficiently mitigated through calibration (or more accurately in my case loving around with settings).

 I actually bought one of those LG 65" OLED C9's and they claim to have shipped it. I blame my wife for suggesting we move our older and totally functional 55" 1080p Sony TV out to the new workshop. (We generally don't care about "latest and greatest - that was our first HD TV, first TV we paid for, and it's "only" 7 years old.)

The red flag is that every other TV at that size is 4x the price. I mean if you're on a budget and you really really need a huge TV then go ahead and roll the dice, but for $2000 I think you'd be able to buy a much nicer TV than that.

My Vizio PQ65 sometimes randomly goes blank for a couple seconds when Im watching stuff on YouTube but the audio is still working. I cant figure out if its a streaming issue or something more seriousGoogle seems to think it could be a faulty power board causing the backlight array to turn off, but Ive watched hours of stuff on Plex and HBO Go without the screen blanking that I can remember. Ive only had it for 3 weeks so I can return it to Costco, assuming they still have replacements in stock. I guess the best thing to do for now is to consume a bunch of Youtube and non-Youtube content and see if there are particular conditions that trigger it, but thats obviously easier said than done. Edit: Looks like its a steaming issue. I was able to hit pause during a blank and it pulled up the Youtube controls. Ive been watching the same Colbert clip over and over for 45 min since it originally caused the blank screen. Josh Lyman fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Jul 24, 2019 |

Taima posted:Go to Greentoe (a completely legit and great site) and you can get the C9 77 from a fully authorized dealer for $4999 AFTER tax. It is confirmed that this price will be accepted already. Thanks for this! I got burned by tax as a Californian, but this all worked out, TV arrived today and is everything I dreamed of and more. The best part is that despite being a 77", it's actually only 6" wider than my Panasonic 65ST30 since there's no monstrous bezel. I'll miss the plasma, but OLED is very nice.

So Ive been testing my Fire TV Stick 4K side by side with my Roku Streaming Stick+ for a week and... I think prefer the Fire Stick. Its noticeably snappier through everything and integrated Alexa is incredibly useful, e.g. Play Taylor Swift on Youtube. It comes as a surprise because I really liked the Roku interface from my preciouss roommates TCL and I prefer the remote, and it shows the time on the home screen. But notably the NBC Sports app doesnt work properly, which is a big deal since live streaming Golf Channel and ESPN are basically the only time I consume live content. I dont like the idea of being locked into Amazons ecosystem though.

I wonder if the 4K version of the Firestick improves performance then, as I recently bought a regular rear end model to replace a Roku Express due to changing cable system (Xfinity has a great Roku app, AT&T only has a Firestick app and unfortunately it's crap). I find it can't even handle just plain video feeds particularly well and the framerate goes insanely choppy every now and again regardless of app.

Speaking of the Fire Stick, I asked this in the Fire thread, but nobody has posted there in two weeks:quote:Just picked up a Fire Stick and it's pretty cool, but is there a way to set a preferred video service? For example, The X-Files is available on both Prime Video and Hulu. Right now, if I say "Alexa, play The X-Files," it will default to Hulu for some reason, which sucks because Hulu has ads while PV doesn't. I looked around in the settings but couldn't find anything. Any ideas?

My 65R615 has been having a weird issue lately. Sometimes dark spots show up on the screen. Not always in the same exact place from what I can tell but usually towards the middle of the screen. Usually only noticeable on bright images. If I shut the tv off and turn it back on it's usually fixed. Any idea? I assume it might be something related to the local dimming/contrast stuff.

Awesome the latest firmware update for my X900F completely broke HDMI Arc. This apparently is a thing with the Oreo update on Sony TVs depending on your receiver or soundbar (Yamaha YAS-106 here). Guess I'm buying a toslink cable since none of the workaround to make it detect the soundbar over hdmi worked.

Hmm, the whole point of the months-long delay in the X900F Oreo rollout was to fix that ARC bug. I'm sure there are a bunch of articles on it, but surprised you're having trouble with the fixed firmware.
