I am happy to report that with the latest firmware updates and the correct glasses, 3d works perfectly fine on the Anker 4k Cosmos laser. It's not quite as comfortable as it is on my LG C6, but it does work very will with virtually no crosstalk. I'm happy that I have a viable alternative to 3d if my C6 kicks the bucket.

KillHour posted:+ tax for the 77 inch 4,108 USD here, in a country that has no tax. loving monopolies, I swear. It's disgusting they can charge this amount and get away with it. How much does the 65 inch go for where you live? I think I might cancel the order and just wait until '22 models come out and hope there's a big price drop.

She got all pissy with me because I was asking her to clarify if to her the white of the text was bleeding out to the color surrounding or what. After she left the room I turned off most of the image processing and that reduced the motion compensation. I think it looks great and the contrast is SUCH an improvement over our old 55" 2016 model year 4k vizio. Sure it's not an oled, but it's a huge step up at a far lower price.

The TV was dropped, you have the option to replace it because of that, I don't get what else there is to examine about this.

How much does the 65 inch go for where you live? 1700 on Amazon for the 65 and 1200 for the 55. Everywhere else is probably in the same ballpark. You could probably literally pay to buy one in a foreign country, have someone ship it, and pay import taxes for less than buying locally.

You KNOW they will deny it ever happened if called on it. I spent my entire lunch break trying to see what was "blurry" about the text and it turns out what she's complaining about is being able to see the pixelation in the letters. I put on a blu ray for her, but of course I picked Hocus Pocus which is a film transfer from 1987ish. I don't have any actual 4k videos. Maybe tonight I will hook up the xbox series X to that tv and find a legit 4k video for her to watch. Any suggestions? Should show text at 4k for best effect.

my understanding of youtube and netflix is they both use adaptive rate so you might get true pure 4k bliss for a moment, but the next moment it might not be. I might plug an antenna into it and see if I can pull a broadcast signal in better quality than comcast's super compressed-then-ran-through-the-tivo too.

YouTube is auto by default but you can force the resolution in the settings for the individual video.

My dad who was an electronics technician passed away last year, and left behind a number of TVs. My mom still uses one that she's happy with and there's a really nice 4K OLED he got in 2019, and at least 3-4 other 4K TVs in unknown state of repair along with random parts that he was midway through either fixing to sell or I believe salvaging to replace the 4K OLED. I've done some googling but couldn't quite find a good consensus on the viability of shipping a TV like this cross country. It has its original box and even receipt still, but this would be shipping in Canada from BC to ON. Ive read some suggestions that shipping it is simply not a good idea because it just simply will get broken. But my mom isn't in any capacity still to sell it (even if I did all the work). Given this TV is essentially "free" as a replacement for my existing one, what downsides are there to finding the most expensive and high insured shipping I can and using that? Obviously being naive here because I know nothing about shipping insurance but ostensibly if it breaks I'd eventually get some sort of reimbursement even if I have to jump a few hoops of bureacracy to claim it. Any ideas or suggestions would be really welcome, thanks.

Just got a X90J delivered. Gorgeous PQ head on… but holy poo poo the reviews that criticized the viewing angle were spot on. I moved, like, a couch cushion over and it started to wash out. Even my wife who is not exactly likely to notice much in the way of fidelity (unlike me who is admittedly quite anal) criticized it without me saying anything. Really a shame because I think the overall quality when you’re planted in the middle is pretty drat close to OLED for my money. But I guess I have to hang up the attempts at VA panels. It’s either deal with a shittier IPS or bite the bullet and go to OLED which I don’t want to do with my kids who do not exactly baby the TV.

G series is for people with too much money. It's supposed to be a Gallery TV or whatever. It's also got the latest and greatest panel tech but totally not worth the price premium for us mere mortals.

I was looking to replace a 50" Vizio M series I had gotten a while back as I think its having some overheating issues and its randomly turning off. Mostly using it for stuff like youtube/twitch/streaming right now and video games,. I'm not really looking to change the size, since I can't wall mount and my stand is good for 50" but probably not 55". I'm not really trying to look too hard at breaking the bank on it, but I was wondering what the better brands around the $500 price point would be, because I'm not sure if there's a clear winner between VIzio/LG/Samsung.

Considering pulling the trigger on the LG C1 55 inch today. Mixed usage, gaming, movies, but also PC stuff, productivity software, editing, etc. This has probably been asked a million times in here, but: How anal do I need to be in my scenario to minimize burn-in risk? Turn the TV off for a few minutes if I'm editing in Premiere once an hour? I won't be watching any cable so I'm not worried about logos, just the usual static PC UI stuff. Will probably get it at BB, how much is their extended warranty and does it cover burn in?

The thing with burn-in on OLED screens is it's NOT the same kind of burn-in that is on plasma screens. OLEDs have a limited pixel life and the brighter the pixel is, the faster it dies (gets darker). Changing the image or turning off the screen isn't going to make a difference if 90% of the time the same part of the screen displays the same thing - it's going to leave a negative image of the static parts of the screen that gets worse and worse over time. The only way to avoid it is to display varied content most of the time, since any time spent displaying a desktop or an application with fixed text/icons is going to be cumulative.
