http://www.costco.com/.product.965555.html I just bought this TV for our back bedroom. With tax and a five year warranty, my total cost was $1,213.18. It's a JVC 65" 4K Ultra HD TV. Looks decent from the reviews I've read, especially for the price.

Fallorn posted:If that is for your back bedroom that thing is massive I thought my 40 inch tv was massive for a bedroom that thing is like lifesize midget porn big. We had a 37" Westinghouse for years, and once my wife decided to redo the bedroom to include a small office space, that was my contribution to the decor. I measured it this morning and its going to take a big spot on the wall, but what else is that wall doing for me? I'm already plotting where to put the PS4 and the HTPC...

Gort posted:Turned on my five-year-old Samsung today to find that the colours were all messed up. None of the colour settings on the TV help, and I did some Googling to find that it has apparently "solarised". Mine sometimes does that, and usually by turning the TV and receiver off and on again, the colors return to normal. Not sure about solarise, but mine turns to a purple color before we fix it.

Got my replacement 65" JVC DM65USR today. The first one came cracked, but this one did not. Looks really good to me without calibration, but I still might try to tweak it. The antenna picks up more than my Tivo does in the front room. The sound is decent. I do see the faint bars on extremely white/gray screens because of the LEDs (mentioned in a couple of reviews online), but I have to really be looking for them. On almost all normal TV, I don't see it. So far, I'm happy for the price I paid.

Realizing this is highly subjective, for those of you who upgraded from a plasma TV to OLED, how much of a difference did you notice? I realize there are more newer technologies, but my 2008 Samsung plasma is chugging along and I’m really trying to justify replacing it when it’s still working like a champ.

TheWevel posted:I think upgrading to something with HDR is worth it, especially if you watch sports or movies. Doubly so if you're going to OLED. Residency Evil posted:I went from a 2007 Panasonic Plasma to a E9 OLED right before Covid. Holy lol it's not even close. Arcsech posted:I did this, except my plasma was (I think) one of the last models Panasonic made, purchased in 2013. Upgraded to a C9 early this year. ufarn posted:I upgraded from plasma to LED, and there are still so many enhancements beyond black levels that make it look much better imo. Especially for gaming. And then there're all the HDMI 2.1 features like VRR to look forward to as well. Thank you all. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a marginal improvement, because at the time everyone raved about plasma being the best possible picture ever. But I do want to get something as future proof as possible because I've held on to this TV for 12 years, and while nothing lasts forever, I don't want to plunk down a large sum of money to just go "that's it?" Sounds like the 77" C9 might be the best upgrade (currently a 55" plasma) for the buck.

Arcsech posted:The 77" is literally twice the price of the 65" and 77" is a fuckload of TV. If it's worth it to you, go for it, but if you're looking for the best upgrade for the buck it's probably the 65". That's my thought. The last 4K TV I bought in 2015 for our bedroom turned out to be a disappointment because it couldn't handle different modes of 4K (at least from the Xbox One X). So I want something that will be big, will last, and will be compliant with all video available today (minus 8k) and have HDMI 2.1. I just upgraded our internet to 300Mbps (best available) and I already have my Nvidia Shield, so I'd be ready to go for some 4K streaming.

bull3964 posted:Yeah, even the best surge protectors are only going to be protecting up to 5,000 volts. A direct strike is going to send literally 1 billion volts into your electrical system. Is that more or less than 1.1 jigawatts? Sorry about your TV and other stuff, Wandler, that sucks.  bull3964 posted:Lightning isn't really a huge cause of power surges anyways since they are rare events. Surges happen in the electric grid (or even inside your home) due to load characteristics. I initially read that as an exploding squirrel and if your TV had to go, that's a memorable way for it to do so.

Boxman posted:I use a harmony companion - that's the one with the hub and very simple paired remote - for my remoting needs. My dog ate my remote, and its only a matter of time until it fails outright. Logitech doesn't sell the remote by itself, which is insane (they recommended I buy their $200 alternative instead). It looks like I can replace the remote with a used one from eBay for a reasonable amount, but honestly, gently caress you Logitech. If you find it please let me know. I used to have the Harmony One, and it was great but didn't work with Bluetooth and eventually the buttons stopped working well. Now we use the Harmony Elite and it's so much less responsive. I'd gladly swap it out for something else if there was something that worked with 10+ devices, had Bluetooth, and was fairly simple to use but I've never found anything that compares. One-4-All had some remotes, but nothing that makes it obvious how to change from one function to another (a must when my mom comes over to watch the kids, babysitters come over, etc.).

I’m in that boat. My Onkyo died a few months back and I’ve been using the TV speakers ever since. Thinking of that new 5.1.4 Vizio Atmos sound bar and wondering how well it would work in our room.

FCKGW posted:Costco is going to have the 85” Sony X90CH/X900H on sale for $1999 starting 11/20 through 11/30. Really contemplating returning my 75” I just got and getting this instead. How good is Sony at keeping their promises of future firmware upgrades when it comes to TVs? I mean, it looks like they're pushing this for the PS5 pretty hard, but I'd want to make sure that it's not halfass implemented and that I regret buying this for future compatibility.

Has anyone ever seen one of the Vava short throw projectors in real life? I think it was down to $2300 a few weeks ago, so I'm guessing it will be like that for Black Friday. Just not sure if it really works as well as the reviews seem to indicate. https://www.amazon.com/VAVA-Theatre-Projector-Lumens-Android/dp/B07XGM6YGQ

I'm assuming best bang for the buck is still an LG OLED, even with the new 2021 models that were released, right? I don't have a Series X or PS5 but I don't want to regret a CX purchase. I don't think I will from all your reports but just making sure I didn't miss anything major.

Is the Shield TV still the best way to get the best apps and best audio/visual playback? I have the 2015 and 2017 ones and it just astounds me that no one else has really tried except Roku and Amazon (unless I've missed an obvious one besides the built in apps or a game console).

ufarn posted:Perhaps Apple TV (although there's an Apple event in a week)? Most devices don't have framerate matching, and the next tvOS update is set to add support for fractional framerates like 23.976p which should make support complete. True, I did forget about AppleTV. But, aren't they missing a couple of the services or have they got all of the major ones now? I had an old Apple TV that I got free from Directv Now but I distinctly remember that not all apps were available at the time.

EL BROMANCE posted:What are you looking for app wise? The Apple TV apps tend to be excellent. The only drawback to the device is Plex doesn’t have access to things like bitstreaming audio or atmos. The mainstream ones are HBO Max/YouTube/Disney+/Amazon Prime/Paramount, and Discovery+. But the biggest ones would be Kodi and Smart YouTube and I'm fairly certain you can't get those on iOS.

I know receivers are supposed to be better but I've went through three sets of receivers/speakers and I'm curious as to how good a Dolby Atmos sound bar can sound nowadays.

Mister Facetious posted:Let me know if Apple+ shows default to subtitles on for you, cause it does for me on my Hisense. Looks like it does, just opened the app and played three different shows that I've never played before and all had subtitles. bull3964 posted:Regular Hulu. Switch output to 24fps (well 23.976) and let me know if your audio is even within 5 seconds of the action on the screen. Worked fine for me. I never had adjusted that before, but I pulled up a couple of shows, fast forwarded a bit, let it play, and it was fine. Commercials and shows were in sync while I was testing. I did notice that it seemed to make my menus feel a bit a slower so I set it back to default.

bull3964 posted:No dice, just tried it on a fresh install of Hulu on my shield 2019. 4k 23.976hz just has random freezes of the video on the title cards for the show and then doesn't do anything other than audio. Exiting the video and restarting has it in sync for a bit, but then it will glitch and get further and further out of sync. That might be why too, I don't have 4K in the front, just my 1080p plasma from 2008.

Too Many Birds posted:i've been looking into it since my post, since CEC was something i didn't know existed, and it turns out that their entertainment setup is just a big giant incompatible mess that i lucked out by getting them the harmony hub set up for it. Probably so. My parents are horrible with TVs but even I've got them to understand that the input button switches input. Get one of those cheap GE remotes with big buttons, and bonus if you can label the inputs on your TV so that when you press it, it says DVD/TV/ROKU (or whatever terms they would prefer).
