feedmyleg posted:I see that the 65 series 6 is at $750 on Amazon and Newegg at the moment. Am I going to find it cheaper than that online anytime in the next couple of months? I'm in NYC so I could also hit up Best Buy/Target if buying in person is going to be significantly cheaper. The 55" isn't out of the question for me, but it's a lot more palatable at $400 that Shyfted One cited than the $550/650 that I'm seeing online. Costco and Walmart have both had the 55" for $400 within the past couple months, so it definitely hits that price point. Wal-Mart has refurbished 6-series in 55" for just over $300 here but their refurbs are apparently a poor-odds crapshoot, so that could end up being more trouble than it's worth. I hosed up not pulling the trigger on the 65" 6-series for $500 at Best Buy and Costco just before the Super Bowl. This is usually a good time of the year to buy because new models usually come out in April, but it's hard to know for sure, especially if stock is already low on clearance models.

So Costco is selling the TCL 2018 6 Series for $400. It doesn’t get any better than that for a 55” 4K TV, right?

My bad, I meant at that price point. ufarn posted:It seems to get good reviews, but the viewing angle is atrocious for some reason. So if it's for a group of people, I'd make sure to research it some more before you pull the trigger. Eh my couch will be facing the TV. Not too concerned about that.

I'm facing an issue with audio delay. I have a TCL 6 Series 65R625 connected to a Denon AVR-X2600H via ARC HDMI. I'm consistently seeing audio lagging ~100-150ms behind video when using the built-in apps, but no delay when using inputs (PS4) connected directly to the AVR. Have any of you experienced this or found a solution? It's annoying enough that I'm basically using the PS4 apps for all my streaming.

I've read posts that say turning off audio leveling fixes it. Press * while watching something and check in sound settings to try it. The receiver would have its own normalization feature if you need it.

Hm my sound settings don't have that option, only options for virtualization and dialog enhancement. There is a "sound mode" that is grayed out at "Normal". ufarn posted:Plex has always had audio desync for me, which is why I never use it. What kind of apps are we talking about? I noticed it with Netflix and Amazon I think? I only measured it precisely on Youtube watching/recording an audio test video.

I'm going to be getting the c9 soon but I'm going to need some speakers. I amazingly still have the Logitech z-560s from college but I need another set for my new room. Debating if I want 5.1 or a super fancy soundbar.

Thanks guys, sounds like I'm not the only one who thinks Spider-man looks incredible on OLED. Posting a link to my SA-Mart FS link for my old Plasma. 42" Panasonic, 42PX75U. $250. No low-ballers, I know what I got. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3917366

Resogun is another one to check out on PS4 with HDR (and yes if you got it way back when around the PS4 launch it was updated a couple years back to support 4k/HDR!). All the particle effects really pop, particularly on OLED. Plus I don't know if it was the lower input lag on the C9 or what but after not playing that for several years I got way further into it than I ever did before. Tetris Effect should be another good one.

Question: My TV (and an ambilight box) plug into an outlet behind my TV, which is obviously great for hiding wires. But, we occasionally get power blinks, and I want to put a UPS device behind there to prevent the TV/ambilight box from going nutso every time that happens. I bought one of these, which is the smallest UPS device I could find, but it's not working very well. It resets, starts beeping, and the other day when the power blinked, didn't actually keep providing power to the devices. Can anyone recommend a better solution? I'm not looking to keep the things on for longer than 3-5 minutes at max. If the power for real goes out I'm pretty quick to turn everything out. Fedule posted:It’s not even HDR but I’ll bet Hollow Knight on an OLED looks unbelievably good. I've been playing it a lot over the past weekend and YES YES IT DOES.

Surprised this hasn't been posted yet, US prices and rough shipping dates are out for the 2020 LG OLEDs. 48-INCH 55-INCH 65-INCH 77-INCH BX — $1,600 $2,300 — CX $1,500 $1,800 $2,800 $5,000 GX — $2,500 $3,500 $6,000 WX — — $5,000 — Glad I held off on getting a 77'', C9s were still commonly going for $5k at that size. I'm probably ordering soon as BestBuy or Costco will let me.

What would the recommendation be for a large-format 4K display for a home office? I basically just need something 50-55" to show an operations dashboard. Should I just go with a cheap LCD TV? Is burn-in a thing on those?

Is burn-in a thing on those? avoiding OLED is probably a good idea for a dashboard due to burn-in, but you sound like you want something cheap anyway and that's not OLED. No, burn-in is not a thing on regular LCD TVs. Just get like a TCL 4-series or something I'd say.

speaking of which... how do people feel about display models? I saw a TCL 50" (I think) 4-series display model for $175, regularly $250. I need a basement TV and that's a pretty good deal... I have a coronavirus proof job but I should probably still hold on to my money until coronavirus gets hammered down, and I'm in the process of trying to squeeze in a refi before things sieze up. Man, if it was on sale in a week or two I'd probably go for it but...

Some cursory research leads me to believe an Android-based TV will be the easiest for me - just use Chrome to stream the desktop/browser tab/whatever. Are there "pure" android experiences in the TV sector like there are with smartphones or does every manufacturer wrap it in their own garbage (e.g. Vizio SmartCast)?

Android TV isn't allowed to do the kind of deep customization like Samsung does on phones though each manufacturer is allowed to make a theme / custom home screen. Be aware that most Android TV models have god awful slow processors so read reviews to make sure they say the interface is responsive. Or just go with a Roku TV, it's simple and everything works with it

As long as I can stream a full-res browser tab to the TV at anywhere above 10fps, I'll be happy. Worst case I guess I run an HDMI cable or get one of those compute stick style PCs. Actually that is probably what I will do. Even the cheapest HDMI compute stick is overkill for this application.

Paul MaudDib posted:speaking of which... how do people feel about display models? Mine came with an included 2 year Squaretrade policy. So I get the 1 year manufacturer + 2 year Costco/Costco Credit extension and then the Squaretrade on that. I figure if it shits the bed I'm pretty well covered. Anyway, I'd try and take a look to see what the floor model settings are like. Is the backpanel light cranked to 100? Running lots of static images? All that might affect the set a bit.
