BonoMan posted:55" would be fine on a stand. I'm on my second toddler and have no worries. You should be tying them into the wall anyway (just a strong string tied into a screw in the wall should be fine). i had the 50" and 55" tcl s525 televisions for a week, and the 55" includes stuff the 50" doesn't. it's a 20 bux difference between the two, and i'd say the 55" looks far better.

BonoMan posted:Right but what I'm saying is that if you're going to go 55" then step it up to the R625. My bad, it's a $30 difference in cost between the 50" and 55" 5 series. the r625 is what, like $600? is it worth paying nearly double in price? rtings has some issues in not checking the software differences between different sized units of the same model numbers. the smaller sized variants typically don't include some of the software settings available at the 55" and above models.

We save the quieter shows like British Bake Off to watch in bed. Anything calming. I'll throw on Joe Pera shows after my partner falls asleep.

I like the TCL 6 series a lot but also many of my concerns come down to price instead of picture quality. Others, along with rtings reviews, should let you know if it is suitable comparatively.

I don't have that issue with the samsung q60r soundbar connected via arc. maybe disconnect and reconnect? then turn everything on in sequence.

TCL has been the only responsive ui I can handle that doesn't have massive lag. I don't understand why this is the case among the far more expensive units. Even if they are much 'smarter', capable of doing more in the background. Rtings viewing angle and reflection tests seem flawed to me. And are indicative of trying to provide a clearer difference between brands for their reviews, rather than how you watch televisions in real world conditions.

Snagged a 65" LG G1 yesterday at Best Buy for $1,200.00. Delivery is later in the week, but I'm excited.

I'll get back to you after delivery, installation and a week of viewing on the open-box 65" LG G1 I bought. The lack of feet isn't a hindrance for my usage, and it was $400 cheaper than the 65" LG C1. I was also told by the manager of the store that according to his records that he showed me, it was bought and returned within a day by someone who wanted a larger television.

My open-box LG G1 is hung and working. TV settings page shows that it had been used for about two months. It didn't come with the lg magic remote. The best buy technicians left me with two different LG remotes. One works completely, but lacks a Home button. lol I ended up having to into my century link router and change the dns from theirs to google. After that, all of the LG app pages and updates worked correctly.

Some people consider the suggested viewing ribbons on the webos home screen to be a form of advert too.

Yeah. I've had the G1 a few days now. Is webos supposed to be slow at all?

Inzombiac posted:It seems fine to me during setup but after the first day I went back to my Chromecast and it's been all peachy. Fremry posted:Yeah, it's real slow for me on my C1. I suggest setting up the quick buttons which makes it so you don't have to go to the Home Screen which is the slowest part of the OS. So like, Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime have buttons at the bottom, but you can set up the 1-8 buttons to act the same way for HDMI ports and other apps, when you long hold them. So for me, long pressing 1 brings up HDMI 1 which is my Cable box, 2 is Hulu, 3 is HBO Max, etc. all the way down to 7 which is HDMI 2 (Nintendo Switch) and 8 which is HDMI 3 (Xbox). For sure, I set up things similarly even before noticing just how ratchet the ui is. lmao that's where webos originated.

I blocked a bunch of the LG sites through my router, and now webos functions a lot faster. Much cleaner interface on the home screen too. cdpbeacon.lgtvcommon.com cdpsvc.lgtvcommon.com homeprv.lgtvcommon.com nudge.lgtvcommon.com rdl.lgtvcommon.com recommend.lgtvcommon.com lgsmartad.com service.lgtvcommon.com

I really dislike the lg g1 remote. A wand / mouse pointer interface is really slow. If you can, grab the lg akb74475433 remote. It works completely, and has really good dedicated buttons in a good interface. Only caveat is no Home button. This doesn't impact my use cases at all. If I needed that single feature, I can just ask the TV aloud to go home.

Do people trust the r-tings calibration settings pages on televisions? I've used them before on different tvs, and thought they seemed entirely arbitrary in setup.
